Yes, as long as you can advance to that last page and select the boarding window, you should be good! You can open the online "Set Sail" pass and it should reflect your selected boarding window. I usually check in all others in our traveling party (since it's past their bedtimes ) to ensure we can all board together. You can "fudge" some of the info to get through the screens since they can go back in later to update and correct the info (passport info, security photos, emergency contact, credit card info, etc.) up to a few days before sail date. One example of "fudging", I usually select naturalization papers/documents for the form of ID since I do not have their passport info.

Hi @Magoody! As @smokeybandit mentioned, you can just search for your sailing on the RC website... find and select your sailing... ... select the date and the first screen that loads will have the itinerary and times in port...

I would start with this blog article by Jenna! Best Miami hotels near the cruise port | Royal Caribbean Blog We're sailing out of Miami in May (first time since 2010)... It will be just my wife and I, so we splurged a little and booked the InterContinental Miami (booked a Bay view room so we can see the port ).

... very short update posted by Chris today...

Just as @Lovetocruise2002 mentioned, it may not be too late! Coverage often effective the day after you purchase the plan (as per link). As mentioned, you may have fewer coverage options (existing medical condition exclusion, etc.). We also use Allianz... here is an FAQ on this topic: https://www.allianztravelinsurance.com/travel/insurance-101/is-it-too-late-to-buy-travel-insurance.htm

Chris (@CHRIS WONG) just posted an update today with some info on this visit to PDCC. He mentions that Royal is having a party for the crew and they will also be able to explore Hideaway Beach!

I suspect a little of both as we had the DBP on that sailing! I also think the dessert after every meal also contributed!

I think it was 8 lbs...

So jealous! Can't wait to follow your adventures in 2024!

Our Royal bucket list is way too long, but includes: a World Cruise, Alaska, Norwegian Fjords, UK cruise, Greek Isles, Western Med (booked for 2025!), Japan, Australia/New Zealand, Hawaii... an inaugural sailing, a President's cruise, B2B and S2S sailings, RC blog group cruise! That's just a start... we need to win lotto so we can retire and start! LOL!

Oooo, yes! Saw this today! My wife also wants to find Rover! We can't tell Bella and Jake or they'll want to know why they can't come with us to meet their cousin! You opened the door with the Golden puppy pic! LOL! Our Bella and Jake "recovering" on New Year's Day at our friend's house! Jake cuddling with our friend, Jenn (sleeping under the blanket)! Bella (11.5 years old) on the left and Jake (6 years old) on the right.

We loved Oasis! Have an amazing time!

Maybe someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe Mason Jar is on Icon... (edit) Oh! Wait! Did you think this live blog was for the Utopia inaugural? I was surprised that they have no replacements on Icon for Mason Jar, 150 Central Park, Wonderland, etc. They added Empire Supper Club and Celebration Table (kept Chef's Table), but no other traditional specialty restaurants. I think they just added a bunch of grab and go spots. Here is the list of specialty restaurants for our May 11th sailing this year in the Cruise Planner (same old options):

Have an awesome time! Will be following all of you as we sail in May! Can't wait!

Have a great time!

Glad you liked it! We wanted to see Showgirls, but unfortunately when we sailed Odyssey back in FEB 2022, they were still in that return to cruising mode. The production had not come back yet. I believe the cast was not ready, etc. Something new to look forward to the next time we sail Odyssey!

Once again...

Happy New Year and have a GREAT cruise!

No, you're not alone! We all (our party) thought it was meh as well. I actually liked the behind-the-scenes Two70 show much better (where they demo all the technology and show off all the bells and whistles). We felt the same way about Blue Planet on Allure.

Prayers for your father and for you and your entire family. Of course, we'll all be following along!

Here's the RC flyer that's updated periodically through this link: rci_sales_event_USD.docx (rccl.com)

Sorry I missed this! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Have a great time!!!

Yes, the DBP includes all specialty coffee items you would be entitled to using the coffee card. So, you would not need to buy a coffee card if you have the DBP. Also, you can use the DBP on all Starbucks products sold in the Cafe Promenade or Cafe270 on select ships. We used our DBP on our last 2 sailings on Wonder for everything on the menu shown below. Here is an example of the core Starbucks menu available in the Cafe Promenade that is included in the DBP: However, you cannot use the DBP or coffee card at any stand-alone Starbucks kiosks... Wonder had both a kiosk AND Cafe Promenade... at the kiosks, you must charge to your ship account or use Starbucks gift cards only...

Just an FYI for anyone is curious about the refund to CC turnaround of late with CP cancellations... I cancelled our Refreshment package and purchased the DBP this past Wednesday evening (12/20/23)... credit for the cancelled Refreshment package hit my credit card this morning (12/23/23) with a posting date of 12/21/23. Appears to be back to the "normal" turnaround time... at least for now! Final payment is not due for us until the end of January, but I'm going to make sure my o/s cruise balance is accurate when I make my final payment!

Thank you and Happy Holidays to you as well!
