Thanks. 

Hi All,

I finished a cruise last Sunday.  When should those points appear on my crown and anchor account?

Thanks!

Wow that's a big difference.  Odd that RC seems to incentivize 2 person use of 2 BR cabins.  Wouldn't have thought pricing would work like that... Those cabins look great though.  I am staying in one for the first time next year.  Though I have toured them several times I have never cruised in one...

The new UPS suites over the bridge look stunning for two people but the lack of a balcony is a no go for me.  I didn't know about the 2BR ATS being the cheapest.  I guess its a discount for not being on the 17th floor?    Check the GPS/OPS prices.  Not sure how they compare in price to the ATS but for two people those are amazing rooms.  I keep booking those for now.  Once my kids are too big to share that little balcony, we'll be switching rooms.

Star Loft wasn't something you like?  I do think once you have travelled star class you are spoiled forever but a large chunk of your paid for space in a 2br is going to go unused by you.  I think in a star loft you will use all of your space and the balcony is still huge.  Personally I would even go OPS or GPS over the Star Loft (in-fact I have made that choice twice) but the balcony is much smaller (though you do get a jacuzzi).

Hi All, 

I will be on Labadee on my December cruise with twin 8 year olds and I am confused by the options available.  A lot of things I thought looked great, they will be too young for (like zip line).  I am trying to decide what I need to (or should) be pre-purchasing for the family to do?  Can anyone recommend the must dos.

Falmouth I am not that interested in but was thinking maybe one of the large group river tubing excursions or something similar.  We're a same sex couple and I am not all that comfortable taking the kids on excursions that aren't crowded with a lot of other guests.  I don't really want to ride around in individual taxis or in a small group.  (Lets not debate if I am being overly cautious please, its just how I feel about it).    That being said, there appears to be several excursions of this type and I can't really tell the difference.  Also interested in others anyone thinks are similarly situated safety-wise?

As for Cozumel, I was thinking either a dolphin excursion or one of the buggy or jeep rides, but also can't seem to tell the difference.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J.

The Star Class activity band should let you skip the lines for most of the onboard activities (waterslides, Abyss slide, flowrider, rock wall, and zipline).  Although they do state that during the really busy times they would prefer that you don't use it for the flowrider...they should give you a specific timeframe of when that is.  

For Labadee you should get a wristband specific to the suites area.

I get how the line cutting works for most of the activities, but any idea how to bypass the line for the waterslides?  I probably won't do it, but I am certain my 8 year olds would love to abuse the heck out of that option...  I have never ridden one, but it always appeared to be a single file line up a thin staircase.  Thanks.

I just thought of something. If your goal is to wear something distinguishing so that some of the crew are aware that you are star class without having to carry around the plum card and flash it, then there is a red wrist band that you can get from the activity desk next to the flow riders. You’re supposed to use this to skip the lines for the flowrider, zip line, abyss etc. When the crew saw it they knew we were star class. For instance when walking up to the crowded Aquatheater before Hiro the staff saw the red band and let us in without having to take out the card.

What else does this band help you skip the line for?  Is there a way to skip the waterslide lines, ladabee spots or anything else?

Thanks.
