  1. Icon on the 9th, the build up has been fantastic
  2. The last time I got the DBP, before making Diamond, I noticed something strange. I got a mimosa at breakfast in the Windjammer, later I saw that there were 3 charges for this. They are 0 dollar charges but I noticed that this happened in a couple other venues. I wondered at the time if they were padding their drink counts for DBP customers.
  3. We did Allure B2B 4/3 in January. We won't do it again. My wife found the party atmosphere on the 3 night to be too much. Also as stated before PDCC is getting really old. We're going to do Hideaway Beach in a couple weeks off Icon to see what that's like. The port upgrade in Nassau has also helped. Being from New Hampshire getting to Florida doesn't make sense to do anything less than a 7 night. I'm starting to eyeball the 11 or 12 nighters from Bayonne as they at least over a bit of diversity in the itineraries.
  4. Update, two of the cancelled/refunded cruise planner items have now been recharged to me. Still nothing charged to my son. The orders list for the cruise still showed everything getting charged to my son, it will also make it difficult to cancel and rebook. However then only thing we've rebooked is Hideaway Beach at CocoCay which dropped in price twice. We're still along way from final payment so have to keep monitoring.
  5. We're on Odyssey next November. On Feb 12th all my Cruise Planner purchases made under black Friday sale got mysteriously cancelled. Then they were all reapplied as a single transaction under my son's name, same sale prices. The refunds did show up on my card but so far there has been no charge to my son? I have my TA monitoring this as I also have had Cruise Planner issues affect final payment amount. From the previous experience I've learned to track and watch all these things very carefully.
  6. Not available on the March 9th sailing. So looks like you'll get the first run.
  7. Realized I didn't do an ice-cream update. Vanilla ice cream on Allure was back to just "normal" nothing special. We're on Icon in a couple weeks and I plan to give theirs a try. I have no idea why I've started to worry about ice cream . I've never even done the soft serve.
  8. Everyone has their own tastes, I’m also on Allure now’s. The MDR has been fine, tonight my Sole was so hot I had to wait for it to cool. We had a terrific lunch in Giovanni’s yesterday. Then, at the same meal tonight my wife didn’t care for her chicken parmigiana, but my son loved his. So everyone will experience different things, I just hope you’re able to enjoy your cruise. BTW the wheather in Nassau today s…coed
  9. I've only gotten it twice, since we've reached D+ I let my wife use a voucher for her morning coffee We had them this year on Odyssey and Wonder and had to pick it up both times.
  10. Just be aware that you have to go collect your card, usually from Café Promenade. If you order a venti they may check off the card twice. I was on a sailing and of day six I heard someone asking about their card, they had assumed is was loaded to their sea pass card similar to other drink packages.
  11. When we cruise out of Bayonne we either stay at the Marriott Courtyard or Residence Inn near Newark airport. Matt's article mentions the Residence and the Courtyard is just across the driveway. We then park at the terminal which is only about 15min away. Not really much in the area for food, but it's a five hour drive for us so we usually just order something in.
  12. I've been following this thread and another with interest as I had a similar situation a couple years ago and now watch all this stuff very carefully. I'm always learning things through this board. The "make payment" tab is interesting, however none of my cruises give me the option of selecting "payment details". I've booked through a TA so I suppose that is the difference.
  13. @Parkhopper I've been there multiple times with my wife and she was using a scooter. I would recommend it. I'm also of the opinion that I wouldn't get it again for over $100, but the way prices have goner up, $125 looks pretty good. I would plan to get there as early as you can to have a good choice of seating, my wife also had to avoid sun so we would always be looking for the shaded areas. Another hint is that you should make your lunch reservation as soon as you can to get your preferred time.
