I bring magnets, magnets with hooks, my clothing cubes, clothing hooks for attaching our swimsuits, and I love my shoe organizer that I can hook to door…use it for everything I need, like lotions, googles, toiletries, shoes, etc. Love that I can see everything right away and makes everything organized! 
My steward loves how everything has its place. I’m sure makes their cleaning easier too….🙌🏼

Absolutely Agree! Loved The Sushi & Sake Lunch! That Champagne 🍾 🦞 Lobster! Yummy! 

I received my email for Royal Up Bid the 3rd week of April for my July 8th cruise. 

A week ago the price for the DBP on the RCB Group Cruise was $110 per day. It's now down to $80 this week.  So I think we'll see movement.

What in-cabin PA system volume controls?  🤣

What did you think about the views from the landscape style windows? That sold us and yes, we had no problem going just about every night!😎`

It was one of our favorite parts of the space. We ate a bit later than most other diners appeared to in CK so there was tons of room (and also, low capacity anyway), so they set us up with a space so we sat next to each other and could both look out the window as the sun was setting. Amazing. 

This was my experience on Odyssey - they encouraged us to come back every night and let us make reservations through the week ahead of time. I don't expect the same experience on Allure later this year, but will definitely be trying to go every night! 

Also adding on to my previous comment, the Coastal Kitchen experience I had on Odyssey was by far my favorite dining experience I've ever had on board. Marlon (our waiter) was our favorite and we loved chatting with him each night. Really hope to meet him again on another ship.

Hahaha! Well, we do leave generous tips 😁

Thank for the info! It was nice for us to experience for CK on the Anthem the first time. Even though we were offered on other days when they called us to ask to come again, we had a specialty dining package and wanted to experience different locations. 
It’s good to know we can come any dinner nights if available. We met many Pinnacle members at other restaurants though out the week who told us, they were going elsewhere for some dinners, and it wasn’t as busy. 
We are in another Junior Suite on Our July Cruise on Oasis, so will hopefully try CK on that ship!

@YellowBrickRoad  Ceil and I just got off Anthem this morning.  We were in Junior Suite 11232 (Sea Class) and went to Coastal Kitchen @ 5:30PM every night!  The only requirement is you must make reservations which are subject to availability.  Also, it was mentioned you cannot make reservations any more than 24 hours in advance - that means you must take it one day at a time.  I am guessing other suites take priority, but that is not stated.  FYI, suites were sold out on our sailing and there was plenty of CK availability.  Valentino waited on us every night and he was awesome.  Also note, Junior Suites cannot do breakfast or lunch at Coastal.  Here is a pic from the on-board app which pretty much says this...

 

“There are only 2 of us and NO WAY would I have 1, 2 device package to share.  We almost came to blows the one time I tried it and we kept kicking each other off when trying to change devices.  Now, everyone gets their own plan with their own log-in and peace has reigned ever since.  Well...mostly always....some of the time”
Totally agree with WAAAYTOO 👆🏼…..May cost more individually (even though I have gotten sales that are close to the multi device plan) but worth every extra penny I have spent for peace of mind.

Absolutely loved the Sushi and Saki Menu for Lunch….The Lobster Roll was Amazing! 🤩 
Takes the guesswork out as the chef chooses the menu and did not disappoint 🙌🏼

We used Rexall Antigen test in Ontario…$30 verses $40 Shoppers. 
We used it to board ship last week with no problems at all. Got on at 10:30…only took 5 minutes from time we got in terminal to ship. 

I don’t drink much alcohol but I love a pina colada made with amaretto instead of rum.  Yummy.  I also like a good mudslide but they fill me up so quickly….one and done with those.

Hi. I was on the Anthem Mar 13th. I brought our 3 WOW Bands with us but found out they weren’t using it as of now and would not activate it. They did tell us New ones will be coming soon…..
 

I am sure somebody in a JS got into the CK day 1, but I would think it is few and far between.....rare, rare, rare.
Usually, you yo to the CK on Embarkation day and inform the host you are in a JS.  They will try to work with you for the cruise.  However, you are space available.  As has been stated, times not be what you want.
Next @YellowBrickRoad think about the length of your cruise.
I have been on Anthem 5 night out of Cape Liberty.  If you purchased a 3 night dining, than it will be 2 in the MDR.  Let me say this....so nah people purchase the dining package that the MDR is fun to me and I get better service impo.  They have less tables to wait on and they get to know you
~~~~Did a cousins cruise 3 yrs ago on Anthem.  The family did MDR in only ...late sitting.  10 of us so lots of people to keep track of for the cruise when it comes to personal choices and service..  Hubby and I had done multiple Royal cruises so I knew what to do...ordered wedge salad for the week(off the menu) on night 1. My cousin due to medical reasons can only eat fish or pasta.  End of dinner night 1 they asked his deires regarding fish and pasta.  They worked hard to make the MDR a specialty.  They knew that my husband and I always had  Bourbon and coke for dinner, cappuccinos after dinner...we never ordered them after night 1, however every night there was our cocktail as soon as we sat and cappuccinos for ue after dinner.  They also knew I was always too full to have dessert and they would pack it up to go for me to put in the mini cooler.
CK is great and technically he service is amazing, but if you are in a JS and not doing the dining package you might but be pleasantly surprised how amazing the MDR can be...sea day make sure you goto the MDR d get the tuttisalad.
 

I just did a quick search in royalcaribbean.com and I couldn't find anything restricting JS guests to night 1 and/or 2.  Just dinner only and reservations are required.  Yep, I don't know where that comes from.
