I am booked on Wonder of the Seas June 2nd Western Mediterranean from Rome. I have been unable to get into the app on this cruise all along. We are now 45 days out and check in is now open and I was able to check in through the cruise planner, but still nothing on the app. I am able to get into the 4 other future cruises that I have scheduled so I don't think its an ap issue. It just says "We're working on the fun" whenever I press on this cruise. This is an odd cruise that allows boarding in both Barcelona and Rome - with Barcelona being the main port of debarkation. I am sure this is the issue but am unsure if there is anything that can be done about it. I was hoping it would open up with check in but obviously that isn't happening.

Understandable, that's why this board is here! Even though I don't think it's a big deal, your agent should have either satisfied your concerns, or just made the change.

No flow riders or bumper cars as a start. Less to do overall. Food and service better, older, higher end crowd.

The entire beach area around Costa Maya has issues periodically with sea grass. There was a lot the day we were there but Maya Chan had people clearing it all day with about 75 percent success. It didn't bother us, but it wasn't crystal clear blue water either. I was able to see the town beach area and it had similar issues with the grass. I don't think it was any better or worse.

It's more old school cruising, definitely geared more to adults but not excluding families.

It only matters if the country that you are visiting requires it to be within the 6 months. The is a common requirement in Europe, but not the Caribbean. I would bring a driver license and birth certificate just to he on the safe side, but you should be ok.

The TA OBCs often show up on day 2 of your cruise. I'm not sure why.

It's not a big deal, but your TA should be able to correct it if you want them to.

They don't automatically do anything. If you want a celebration you would need to arrange it. You could easily speak to your waiter or the restaurant managers if you want to do something at dinner. As others have mentioned, there are some celebration decorations and cakes available for purchase that would be for the room.

Biggest perks are the suite lounge and the reserved space at the pool, and of course the extra space. Also usually has a private breakfast in one of the specialty restaurants. Like everything else with suites, it's up to you whether that is worth the extra money. I won a Royal up from JS to Owners suite on Liberty that was under $1000 and definitely thought it was worth it. Having said that, I probably wouldn't spend much more than that.

Yes, definitely not common to have a mass on a ship outside of the big holidays. You can get masses on You Tube that are posted same day and meant for people who are unable to attend. Probably your best option.

You could always try to rebook. I'm a little confused about why the muster station would matter. You only go there once to check in.

Once you are onboard, you can sleep wherever, and even get extra keys. Whoever is booked in the non suite will not get suite benefits.

This is where you lost me. There is a reason I'm on this site and stopped looking at that one.

I've just got to ask... Are you saying the casino was cheating?

I believe this is correct

CK is officially smart casual every night.

You could also get with your TA and see how you can move as many people into the suite booking as possible while keeping both bookings. People can sleep wherever they want once they are on the ship. Royal should really find a way to accommodate when people are booking adjacent cabins along with suites. It doesn't make sense for families to have to split for dinner.

You can only earn points for yourself. She needs her own account.

I'm glad that the food isn't good. I gained too much weight on my cruise last month because the food was really good. Now that they have made the change to bad food, I will be good on my June cruise.

The default is that they will seat you at the first available location. I would recommend going to the dining room on the first day and make your request before dinner.

Travel agent should not have allowed this to happen. Royal does not auto bill the final payment and the agent should have known that. If it were me, I would be getting a new agent.

Unfortunately, itinerary changes for happen for a variety of reasons. It's not that unusual.

If I have already made a final payment for my cruise through my travel agent and the price for the cruise has dropped by let’s say $50 to $100, can I ask about getting some onboard credit for that sailing? Normally, you cannot reprice a cruise after final payment. Cruise with Confidence changes that somewhat, but it is very complicated vs the normal method. Our Freedom of the Seas sailing in 20 days is offering Taste of Royal Lunch. When looking at the sample menu, why does is list sample dishes from restaurants that don’t exist on that ship? For example: Hooked, Wonderland and 150 Central Park. They will have al the proper ingredients to make the dishes as if the ship had the restaurant. I have $100 onboard credit towards a Harmony of the Seas sailing for Nov 12th 2022. I’m interested in booking a dining package. Does Royal make you use your onboard credit towards the package? If you have a credit in your cruise planner - it will try to auto apply it to your total. I believe you can remove it, but I'm not sure why you would want to - it all goes to the same place. When I select “plan my cruise” on the Royal website for the Harmony sailing, it is offering discounts towards Chops Grille. I notice the starting price is $64.99 and the 15 percent off comes to $54.99. This sounds like price gouging to me. I thought the price for Chops was somewhere between $40 to $50? Bookings in the specialty restaurants are up and prices will always reflect demand. My suggestion is always to book at a price you are comfortable with, and watch for decreases. Can my girlfriend and I request we sit at a table for 2 in the main dining room? We have my time dining by the way. Yes - They have many tables for 2 available in MTD. You don't need to request it - they will just seat you that way. Lastly, we booked the Harmony sailing through Royal and not an agent. Since then it seems like the prices are going up. Should I even bother requesting a quote from an agent at this point? You only have a limited time to transfer your cruise booking to an agent. If your booking is refundable, you could always cancel and rebook with an agent - otherwise, you would be out your deposit.

It's probably too late for you, but you can request to have the same time/table/waiter in the MDR. We also enjoy having the same waiters for the week so we always request it.
