Looks like Dining is back up in the App…..can see menus for restaurants but not bars. Now I can plan when I’m going to book my Specialty Dining, CK or Main. YAAAAAAY

22 DAYS TO GO!!

(Sorry @PPPJJ-GCVAB if I stole your countdown thunder)

The more the merrier when it comes to excited countdowners!

That was awesome. You have the tango look on your face.

Ooo I cannot see the video! . I can just imagine the ‘Tango Look’ though!

We did the Crystal Caves excursion and loved it!  On our second day…we took the city bus to Horseshoe Beach…another great time!  

Glad you started this topic!  Not sure why I was waiting to send my own request but your post reminded me that I needed to do so…which I also did today!  Already got my reply that they are working on it  

It’s perfect time to send that email to the dining room!  Be sure to include ship name, date of cruise, and reservation number on the subject line.

Email rcldining@rccl.com 

Oh my gosh awesome pictures Raye!  Gave me the best chuckle especially the pics of you and Dan hosting the “birdies”! Oh and that scuba reflective one is !

Happy sailing!  Hope your first night onboard is perfect so far.  Looking forward to some updates along the way.  I’m guessing no one here decided to do a live blog!   

Absolutely TWO bathrooms is key.  Connecting OV Balcony rooms are perfect although not sure any of them are for 3 people.  But you should be able to find two rooms next to each other…one for two people and one for 3.  Sometimes a room for 3 is very difficult to find.  In that case you can book a room for 4 and a room for 1.  Once onboard the adult you put in the room with the 3 children can move into the room with the other adult and the 3 children will have their own room.  Perk for doing it this way is the room with just one adult will earn double points.  If this way of booking is still cheaper than booking a 2 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms (I definitely believe it would be!)…it’s a win-win.

Welcome to the message boards.

You are correct, there's no more Diamond Plus line.

For Express Check In, you need to have the setsail pass say it (regardless of C&A status). In order to get it, you need to do the check-in on the Royal Caribbean app (not website), scan your passport in the app (not enter it manually), enter all contact info, add credit card, upload check in photo, and then do health questionnaire. 

Are they still only doing express check-ins in Miami?  If so, will other ports join in somewhere down the line?

For me…once you’ve been to a few of them…you feel as though you’ve seen them all!  Almost always same or very similar questions.  Just not entertaining enough to sit through.

Agree with @Ampurp85 regarding timeframe and payments, etc.   Typically a three person room cannot become a two person room without price adjustments typically increasing…or perhaps not at all!
You could also just leave everything as is and have that second person be a no show.  Once onboard…the third person in your room can just stay in the other room for the cruise.  Their keycard will still be connected to the original room but you can get an extra key for the second room from guest services.  

I still do not see it listed!

You 23 weeks pregnant? You have any random symptom for anything in the last 24 hours?

Pregnancy question I get. But the health question is just dumb now since probably half the people boarding have some symptom in the last 24 hours that has nothing to do will any communicable illness.

Exactly!  Allergies are just starting to hype up big time right now…anyone with any sensitivity to anything outdoors is sniffling and perhaps even coughing a little.  Me included!  Not sick…just allergic!

It’s getting real!  We have 28 Days to go.  In weeks: 4 weeks!

I did my online check in  I sail out May 31st.  I haven't seen anything about luggage tags.  When should I start seeing that?

Probably May 1.  My sail date is May 16 and my tags showed up yesterday April 16.

I think you mean Nassau?   Not really any dining spots in the new port area but some cute vender booths.  

we are under 30 days to go!  My luggage tags and cruise documents showed up yesterday!  Love it when I can get all my papers in order!  

Thanks for giving your thoughts on Hideaway.  I think I will keep to my plan of checking it out for an hour or so next month.  But I am going to cancel my September reservations for Peter and myself.  

You still need to check in and choose your boarding time…maybe not at Midnight but...

Tomorrow is PDCC which is usually a stay-on-the-ship-day but we will be going to Hideaway Beach

Ahh perhaps you can give me your opinion?  I’ve read a few comments from others and still undecided if it’s worth it or not.  
I plan to check it out for just a short time while on my Symphony cruise next month but can’t stay for long as the rest of my group is unable to join me due to the kiddos.  I paid $35.  I’m curious.

Peter and I have it booked for our Utopia cruise (paid $40/pp using OBC) and keep wondering if that $$$ would be better used elsewhere!

Obviously, I’m having a bad hair day.  

Loving the pic, Raye!  I’ve been rocking the baseball hats lately and already have several put aside for my May cruise!  Although looks like you’ve got the visor look going…I think I’m gonna steal your idea and purchase a few!

Love the waterfall pic!  

5 WEEKS TO GO……

Today the price went down on the Baha Mar excursion.  Saved total of $60 ($20per adult $10per child).  Strange thing is this excursion does not show up on the Cruise Planner…only on the App!  Very strange…

@HappyHav I will gladly let you know my thoughts on this.

Packing list:

Red bra and panties (double my odds)….  CHECK

I’m not old yet, but I’ll be 75 in 2045.   While that’s not old either, I’ve abused my body some over the years.  I might not be very spry. 
 

I’m glad I had the opportunity to be in path of the eclipse this time around. 

Hey who says you have to be spry?  

All you will need is your eyes and possibly a hi-tech wheelchair contraption!  Heck…you and I have been around long enough to know we can only imagine what technology will bring in the next 21 years!
