    Now I totally understand how to figure out where the bed will be BUT I'm noticing that all the balcony room options for our 3 person party the bed is always by the bathroom! My hypothesis is that the sofa bed needs to be balcony. Can anyone confirm this is true on the Harmony?

    It makes sense.  This is probably the configuration that works best for the sofa bed.

  2. Just remember that if your son goes into the water park, an adult must also go along with him and pay full price, even if the adult does not plan on doing any of the slides.

    Personally, for a 6/7 year old, I think the free kids' water park would be plenty.  I wanted to go there and play in the water, myself !  I don't think he would be too old for that water park at ALL.  I think he would enjoy it and it would save you beaucoup bucks.  You could check out the big water park from afar (and for free) and decide if it was something you wanted to do another time.

    I have tried the using the website multiple times while impatiently waiting for an email, nothing.  I am pretty sure that Royal Up hates me.  lol

    Don't feel bad.  I have NEVER EVER gotten the ability to bid on an upgrade by using the website.  If I don't get the email, I am NOT going to get an opportunity to upgrade.  Even if within 30 days of the sailing....nothing.  Ever.

  4. Congratulations !  Those sound like really good offers to me.

    I would be cautious about bidding on the 1 BR ATS b/c aside from the 1 on deck 11, the rest of them have REALLY small balconies.  I don't think I would be happy with one on 12 or 14.  ...and of course, you have no control over which one they upgrade you to.  I don't think I'd take that chance.  The 2 BR ones though...absolutely.

  5. My only concern about NAV is, I have found the prices on NAV to be exceptionally high on a per person/per day basis (especially for suites) - particularly for the "add-ons" like the drinks packages and/or dining packages.  Not knowing which port you are looking at, I would say look at Oasis, Allure (no water slides yet...but maybe by the summertime ?), Liberty, Anthem.  Having done a B2B on NAV, I would probably not do it again b/c of the prices.

  6. Neesa, I have never been on Mariner but I will guess that it is basically the same layout as the rest of the Voyager Class ships.

    From what I can tell, the OS on Mariner (e.g., 1320) does not have the pole in the entryway.  No pole at all, from what I can see (video on cruisedeckplans.com).  I don't know if there are any OS available on your sailing.  While you will still be dealing with the pool deck above, the deck area above the OS "humop" are more transit areas vs lounging areas.  Might be less noisy there.

    The biggest problem I see for 1252 is the fact that it is so far forward.  I would hate being way up there. Frankly, I'm not sure I would spend the money for an OS on Mariner since those cruises are so short.  If you're doing a B2B, that's a different story.

    If it’s open on time and you are able to go I would love to hear how you like it and how crowded it is! I’m especially interested in shaded seating options and noise levels (like how the pool has loud music piped in but chill island doesn’t). Pictures would be amazing, but I thought I remember you saying that you don’t often take pictures when you are on vacation and I don’t want to put you out. 

    I will post and let everyone know !!!!

    Is anyone going on a cruise to Coco Cay in the next month or so planning on getting a cabana or day pass to the beach club? We are debating getting a cabana and would love to see some pics or video beforehand. Thanks in advance.  

    We have day passes to the beach club the first week of Feb. As far as I know, the beach club is not yet open. Hopefully later this month.

    @River Song It’s called the Villa suite and there is only one on Harmony and one on Symphony. It is fully stocked because the suite is Star class and comes along with all the benefits. The max capacity is 14. 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.
     

    Because there are only two rooms like this out there, it is extremely hard to book. Be prepared to book this as soon as it gets released.

     

    As far as pricing goes, it can be quite expensive and also quite affordable depending on the time of the year. In high season, this cabin can run over and above $30-40K. We have this booked for December 2020, for 14 of us, all in we are paying just over $13K. It’s less than the cost of of an interior on the same sailing.

    I think River Song was talking about a suite on Liberty.

    And then a CocoCay question...how many ships docked would be too crowded?  I see on a cruise planner site it looks like 3 ships are docked on our day...while all the rest of the week its one or two.. bummed we have to be on a day where it may be super crowded!   anyone been there on a 3 ship day?

    Welcome to the Blog !  Glad to have you on board !

    I cannot answer your Blue Lagoon question.  I looked on my own Cruise Planner and, while there are multiple Blue Lagoon excursions, none of them mention transportation.  Hmmm....sorry, no help there.

    As for your question regarding Coco Cay, I am continually perplexed why some schedules are showing more than 2 ships at CC on the same day.  You are not the first to have this question or concern.  To my knowledge, it is impossible for more than 2 ships to dock at Coco Cay at the same time.  I suppose it is POSSIBLE to have 1 ship tendering and 2 ships docked but I would be very very surprised if this were to be the case.  I suspect that there is a mistake in the schedule if it is showing 3 ships at Coco Cay at the same time.  I just don't think it's possible or likely. 2 ? yes.  3 ? I don't think so.

  11. My Time Dining and Traditional Dining (early/late seatings) are not  held in the same spaces.  They are on different floors of the Main Dining Room so you will not have traditional and MTD folks mingling.  There really is no difference between reserved MTD and walk-up MTD except that with reservations you are generally seated more quickly.

    As someone mentioned in another thread, the Cruise Planner (and therefore, RoyalCaribbeanMarketing) is not smart enough to know that you have already made MTD reservations...or purchased the Deluxe Beverage Package, or purchased Voom or made any excursion plans....so you will continue to get emails begging you to reserve and purchase, even though you already have.  It's most annoying, TBH.  They keep sending me emails telling me that this is my LAST CHANCE to purchase whatever....when I purchased those items MONTHS ago.

    So yes...you are all set.  You don't need to worry about your reservations if you have already made them.

    Enjoy !!

    Can I make reservations using my unlimited dining package before I cruise through the cruise planner?

    Welcome to the blog, Danny and congratulations on your upcoming wedding !

    No, you cannot make your dining reservations prior to boarding UNLESS you are in a Grand Suite or higher, in which case a Suites Concierge will reach out to your prior (around 5 days beforehand) to the sail date....and they would help you make advanced reservations.  

    But not to worry !  You will be able to make reservations as soon as you board the ship and will have no trouble getting the restaurants and times you prefer.  Just make sure to take care of that as SOON as you board.

    When you purchased the UDP the “system” automatically makes a reservation for you, at the time that you chose.  Once you get onboard you can change the time and/or location of that reservation if you so choose.

    We always get the a UDP and nearly always get the restaurants and times that we want. The system works very well.
