I saw that story about the ammo and was like wow. But 12 years seems excessive.

I was able to do the same with my previously booked Icon sailing. I am hoping to do Icon in 2026 with my annual prime cruise. Hopefully 2yrs will be enough

I booked a S2S using mine and my brothers. Me: Symphony of the Seas Jan 12-19, 2025 Him: Oasis of the Seas Jan 19-25, 2025 Also, thanks to the blog I found out you can do GTY for Freeplay. It was $25 for Interiors, $50 for balcony, $100 for JS and $200 for GS or higher.

I thought it would be fun to see what cruise people chose for their annual prime reward.

The airport is close to the port, you can see it actually. So, any chains with airport locations will be good. I normally do the Fairfield Inn when sailing out of port everglades (PE).

There are hibachi lunches. You should be able to look in the cruise planner as it will only be available on sea days. I would book asap because the spots fill up much faster than sushi.

I remember that commercial with Ray Charles

Wait are those mussels in the CL? I love when they do the key lime cheesecake bites. Last time I was on Indy wasn't "high ranking" so I have never been to the CL, is it very small?

Welcome to the boards, I am not sure if the land portion will show on your account. As long as you have confirmations, you will be fine.

I have found out, thanks to the barcode trick, but they haven't been officially assigned yet. My brother is indeed kind for sharing a room with her . I always ask if she wants to go and try to make the arrangements for her to have her own room and she tells me no, she has plans. They never work out.

I loved this. I think one of my cruises has a stop in the Dominican Republic and I am going to look this excursion up. Those sea lions are so cute, the nurse sharks are adorable as well. I was cracking up at the birds.

I was just coming to say I can't wait for my firecracker shrimp. Also ventriloquist shows are creepy.

21 days to go....... Work has been stressful all around and the weather in Chicago has been bipolar. Sat and Sunday were like 30 degrees and today on Monday it was 65 and sunny. My documents were right on time for the first cruise but a full day late for the 3n and a day early for the last cruise. Royal IT strikes again. The luggage tags for the first two cruises are still GTY. Last time they updated around 10 days before I cruised to say the actual room number. So, I will wait until later and print them out. I believe I saw in another post that a few blog members and Matt will be on the May 20th-24th Freedom cruise. When I booked the cruises, it was just my brother and I going, each with or own room. But my mother turned Emerald after our Mariner cruise and now she is obsessed with making it to Diamond so she can relax in the lounge. Yes, not the drink vouchers or internet discount......but lounge access is her goal . She was upset that she couldn't go on Wonder, I had booked her, but she allowed her bf to talk her out of going. During that Mariner cruise I offered to help make her prime to get offers, she said she was going to be land traveling with her bf and don't bother. In March when she found out we would be doing these cruises she was sad, her bf had cancelled 2/2 of their land vacations. So, my brother was like, we can add her to my room, and she can come with us. She was so happy to be going. As usual she is brand new. I feel like she gets amnesia every time we travel, and I have to hear the same questions. This is her sixth RCG cruise and she texted me about luggage limits. Somehow her logic was that shorter cruises only allowed weekender bags and/or carry-ons . I just told her to pack as she would normally. Last week she fell at work and thankfully she is okay, but her front left tooth got chipped slightly. The dentist rounded it out and it is barely noticeable, but she was afraid she might have been toothless for the cruise, she is so dramatic. I did my pre-cruise shopping: which involves going to Kohl's, Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Walmart for any essentials, and giving Bezos his offering. After reading about wearing red (I hardly ever wear it) to ensure some casino luck, one of my casino outfits is a newly acquired red shorts and a red shirt. I am currently making my packing list and the plan is to pack a separate cube, with special casino outfit to contain the smoke, in each cube. I figured I will need about four cubes since I always carry an extra not in my checked bag.

I love how it is always one broccoli and one carrot.

Unfortunately, they were not. I think it is one of those YMMV things were for one reason or another some keep the status, and some revert to their earned status. I have met two former linked children whose status was reverted to the point total. One had D+ parents but they were reverted to Emerald and another had Diamond parents and was reverted to Emerald.

Did you get to feed and/or play with the sea lions? I love sea lions, they are so ugly cute ..........dolphins seem sweet, but I read they are sea sexual predators, so no thank you.

How will you hide the big ones?

This has been known for a while(since the release of itineraries in Feb), they posted about it in the "rumors and news" thread.

I'm on this sailing.

OMG, I hate the dancing and singing. And it's always the macarena, where they insist on crowd participation and my service begins to suffer.

I was over the bow and right under the captain's bridge on Mariner, it was very hard to take naps during the day. I believe it was room number 1821 or 1812. It was a view of the antenna and other hardware. But the sun from the floor-to-ceiling windows were breathtaking. I just found it odd at the time that it slept 4. Hopefully dinner is/was great tonight.

I wonder what the account issues were. Does the panoramic room say it fits 4? I think I stayed in one on Mariner and I found it small and noisy. I hope you continue to have good luck in the casino.

I prefer to fly into FLL over MIA even when sailing out of MIA. The longest it has taken has been about an hour on a Sun/Mon. I take Lyft and an XL should fit all of you and luggage with ease.

@GregD Yes RUB are a casino comp thing, they (the powers that be for RU) don't see what you paid as far as casino comps go. They just know they can possibly earn money on your room.

The option may require some price changes. An important note is unless you have permission to handle both reservations, the lead on the second room will have to call and make changes. It also depends on where you are in time in regard to the booking. If final payment has been made, your options are limited.........the same way if you did nonrefundable deposits. You could swap names for the two rooms, leaving the no-show in your room. They would get taxes and fees back if you are past final payment. Or you can call and move to a 2 person and have to pay the new prices. The person on the second reservation would have to swap out names.
