Wishing you and your brother an early Happy Birthday!!! Have an awesome time!!!!!!

On my last 3 sailings (Odyssey and Wonder x2) they claimed they had been sold out for weeks... I guess they never order enough. I always stop in the shop on embarkation day when they open, so I know it's not that I just missed out. Now I'm forced to buy the ship models!

Would love to grab one too next month! On both sailings on Wonder last year they were sold out!

Welcome and have an amazing time!!!

For my wife and I, next month's Icon sailing will be our 10th cruise (first with DCL, all others with Royal). With a little help from those double C&A points following the startup, we'll be Diamond after this next sailing. Only one more on the schedule for next year (Royal of course )... our first Mediterranean cruise (same itinerary as @Plasticbrain ! Trying to book at least one cruise per year. We can't sail nearly as much as we'd like to due to the usual factors including my wife's limited time off since changing employers. We've got some time before retirement (10-15 years), but the current plan is to relocate possibly to Florida to be closer to our good friends and all of the ports, parks, etc.

Yeah, MSC (World Europa) likes to copy all things Royal... interior balconies, living wall, dry slide (Venom Drop)...

Same issue... reset password and all good now... strange...

Entering the home stretch! Time to start thinking of a title for the live blog... the hardest part!

Happy Birthday!!!

Finally, the Cruise Planner online has caught up to the phone app... Entertainment available/accessible online now:

Entertainment has opened up (at 39 days) , BUT as of this moment, ONLY in the app... not available yet in the Cruise Planner. Reservations have been made! They are showing on the calendar in the CP... phew! LOL! ... keeps dropping, but I'm not taking chances just to save another $6 in total for the two of us! Too close to sail date to have Royal IT screw up the refund!

Same for my sailing the week after! Only app, not website yet!

Checked in shortly after midnight last Wednesday (3/27) for Icon (Miami)... 11:30 AM was the earliest time slot offered.

Yumm! My wife's favorite!

Wow! Enjoy the next 20 days!!!

Creeping closer! Just checked in... 11:30 AM is the earliest available as many have pointed out. I logged in just a few minutes ago after midnight...

Hi @Mrs. Thomas! In your scenario, there is likely $100 OBC per reservation/cabin. So, if you are accessing a different linked reservation, that OBC amount displayed is for that party/group/cabin. You should see it update in each reservation as each party applies that OBC in the Cruise Planner (if you choose to spend it in the planner). Here's an example from an upcoming sailing... I have 3 reservations linked... mine has a $100 OBC as I received it from a NextCruise promo: The other 2 linked reservations... the first did not receive any OBC when they booked... the other received $50 OBC from some other promo... no one has used their OBC yet... Have an amazing cruise!

So very sad... prayers for everyone impacted by this accident.

DO NOT LOOK AT THE DAY TILES IN THE ELEVATORS !!! Didn't you know that ignoring them makes the week longer?

I agree... that was inTENse on Wonder with the all-female cast. They're all so talented, but the show was not as varied as OceanAria and Aqua80. Not as much diving as others mentioned from what I recall.

Us too! Symphony has been elusive for us! I'd have to agree with you RE: OceanAria and inTENse... our favorite show of the 3 we've seen to date is Aqua80 (Oasis) by far. With that said, we will never miss an Aqua Theater show!

Have a great time!!!

Interesting... a new lunch dining "experience" at Izumi? They still have the typical Izumi lunch options, as well as, the sushi making class...

Just curious! We're on the next sailing (5/11)... has the Entertainment reservation section opened up in the CP for you yet? I know they tend to open it up somewhere between 30-60 days... 59 days was the "magic" number for our last Wonder sailing.

One more day! Have a great time! Loved Wonder!
