Wonder of the Seas May 26-June 2nd 2024 Eastern!
CruzOnBye replied to Bill OH's topic in Wonder of the Seas Roll Calls
Once we ditch the kid...I mean..once we show our son how awesome Adventure Ocean is and he begs to stay there for a while, I guess me and hubby will be forced to spend some time in Solarium with adult beverages...sigh....Royal makes it so hard for parents -

Most of our cruises have been GTY rooms, never had any issues. However for us, room location/type is not a priority, so we book gaurentees to save money. If your concern is that you might end up with no room if they overbook, I personally wouldn't stress over it. On I think last week's YouTube Royal Carribean Blog Live, someone asked the same question, and Matt's response was something among the lines of the likelyhood of you not having a room is like .000000001 percent (I think it's this video below). . But if you are very particular about the room location and type of room, then a GTY isn't for you as you never know where your room will be until very close to the sailing. For us it's fun because we get to experience all different floors, AFT/FWD, etc., and we find that kinda cool. Good luck!

That is a good point...I figured we would lose the OBC with a price adjustment but to your point, if we spend it then that is a hassle right there. Although I won't be spending OBC for 2026 cruise till at least around Black Friday this year, so maybe I could get lucky but it's unlikely, and probably not worth it if it's a wash. I just wish they would just stay with one sale for at least a week lol. They are making me think way too hard for a vacation happening 2 years from now
-
Noticed the sale changed again already lol. For example one we looked at for early 2026 went up in price $75 but they are providing $75 back in OBC. Even though we will happily take OBC for our DBP, it still bites when the base price goes up...especially day 2 of releasing the new schedule (I know, I know better!) We were gonna book last night but didn't have enough time to pin down what we wanted. Guess we're gonna call our TA tonight and book one for 2026 before it changes again and goes up with zero OBC Good luck out there! Hope everyone gets a good deal on their '26 bookings.

CruzOnBye replied to Bill OH's topic in Wonder of the Seas Roll Calls
Same here!! Cannot wait for this one. First time on Wonder for us. Me, hubby and kiddo have had this one booked since it was released over a year ago, so we've been patiently waiting lol. Haven't booked any excursions...just gonna enjoy the ship mainly and definitely CocoCay, we love it there. -
Giovanni's Italian Lunch deal 2/9/24
CruzOnBye replied to CruzOnBye's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I've seen your blog comments before re. food, I think we are on the same wave length We always have late night Sorrentos, it hits so good every time. We just hit Platinum so we have awhile before D+ but it sounds like there's great benefits to look forward to. We have 4 future cruises booked and #4 will put us at Emerald...we're trying haha. All that to say, we do enjoy the food the ships, I know we will check out Mason Jar bar for some of those cocktails in there, but I might see if a deal comes along for Brunch...meanwhile i keep refreshing my page to see if someone gives up a lunch so I can swipe it lol. -
Giovanni's Italian Lunch deal 2/9/24
CruzOnBye replied to CruzOnBye's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Yeahh if it was 40% dinner I might bite...but Sorrentos it is! LOL. I haven't been on Wonder before but I feel like the complimentary options will suffice. We are #teamwinnjammer We like to experience and graze lol. -
Giovanni's Italian Lunch deal 2/9/24
CruzOnBye replied to CruzOnBye's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Your method is much less stressful than mine We really don't buy extras except for internet for longer cruises, and then the DBP. I reprice the DBP whenever I can (usually just once sometimes twice). We did Giovanni's on Odyssey and loved it so I was really looking forward to it, but I messed up by repricing. I should have realized that dining is more limited than a drink package lol. -
So I had noon lunch reserved for my upcoming Wonder sailing...and today this deal popped up (below). So I cancelled mine and immediately went to rebook and it was unavailable! I am so bummed. I called Royal and they checked to see if any other time or day was available and she said no Dinner is, but I was shooting for this 40% off deal. So just be careful out there if you are rebooking for the lower price!

Following! We are debating the same for ours. I really kinda want to just grab a taxi but I've never done that, and haven't visited there before so I'm unsure what to do, but I really want to to hit that spot or some other beach.
