@Pattycruise thanks, I wasn't sure, I recall a short time they had to be booked and sailed by the 31st. But this could have been faulty info by the reps.

Those cookies look so good, and you are right, the churros never look the same, but still taste great! -
Yes. You can book any 7n or less cruise that sails by the 31st of March 2026, that is not on that list. I do believe it is a possibility that you must complete your sail before the 31st: so, if you do 7n it should be sailing on the 24th, a 3n sailing it must be sailing on the 28th, etc.

How far is paradise beach from the port? -
The discount is onboard only, you can only use one. So if you prebook internet, you cannot use the free day as a discount. You can use the free day on an extra device. if you decide to buy on board you are subject to the remaining days at onboard prices. Imho unless you are prime/rank in the casino or only need a day of internet, you are better off buying it beforehand.

You can use it on Icon sailings in sept,Oct, Jan and early Feb.

Thanks I just checked and both have dropped so I will be calling tonight.

@Pattycruise what level of prime was your friend? My brother is 2900pts only. So he is part of the last batch.

I really lucked up that Jan icon is available. My cert comes tonight but my brother's is the last batches.

I see they changed the brisket. When we were on Wonder at MJ, the brisket was more Jewish style in one large semi-tough piece. Now it's more BBQ style in slices. I like the crab beignets, but I only ate the beignets because I can't have mayo, and the crab concoction was made with it. My brother said it was meh. -
Not the person but you cannot combine "your"offers. You can combine same offers for different people to upgrade. In this case that person had tier2 and that person had tier2 so they combined two balconies to make a suite. Only same offers can be combined.

@Dulis all of your heartache could have been avoided. The key is to scan the QR codes right at the beginning and play for the certificate you want. I always check the list and point threshold before beginning I also recently learned they will award you the certificate based on play.

I tried booking icon for last year's annual, but it was in thr exclusion list despite being over a year old. Thank God I booked refundable but I will be booking it for Jan 2026. Icon is just too expensive on its own.

Yes. They consider NC a promotion and won't convert the deposit, at least that has happened to me. The first year I did it the NC deposit was applied to port taxes and fees and then in 2023 when I tried it, I lost the deposit. I stopped using NC when it came to annual certs. Which is why if I wanted to hold a room for my annual cert I book refundable now. But we all know ymmv when it comes to things involving royal.

The annual cruises are bare bones and it's always been interiors for prime, balconies for signature and suites for masters. The annual certs are exempt from all promotions because they consider these a gift. I do believe that signature and masters get another cruise that is just special to their tiers.

I had to zoom in because I was like there is no way someone is reading "Killer Cruise" on a cruise.......but . I like the cinnamon rolls that look like that, the frosting can be so overwhelming. During the pandemic I made them from scratch, just once, and I covered my brothers in frosting, while I just glazed mine and they were the best ones ever. -
Thanks @CHart I will finally be able to do Icon when my certs come out tomorrow. Since I want Jan sailings.
-
But just an FYI, NC bookings can be switched, those instant certs are bound to the 30-day rule. You can't combine offers but you may remove and add offers. So, to reiterate if you try to apply the annual offer to a NC booking you will lose the $200 deposit.

You cannot use Next cruise with the annual certificates. The annual certificates are exempt from all promotions. No OBC and freeplay is at the discretion of the rep booking if you chose GTYs.
