Thanks for the great advice.

The reason we want a couple nights in the MDR is this will be my son's first cruise and we'd like him to experience as much of the ship as we can.

Is there a way to find out the MDR menu and schedule for an upcoming cruise?

We have the UDP, but want to dine in the MDR a couple nights based on what is being served that night. We know that the second we get on the ship we need to make our specialty dining reservations, so having all the info will help where to eat at what evening. Thanks!

Last week I won the $100 OBC which I put towards our November cruise. I had booked that cruise about 4 weeks before winning that prize.

A couple days ago I won the 10% off prize, which I am putting towards our June '22 cruise. That cruise we booked a couple months ago. I'm still waiting for the confirmation on that one though. Crossing my fingers there was no fine print to deny that one.

Perfect. Those posts answered my question. Thanks!

How much are shots anyway? I have the Refreshment Package, so curious what my free virgin Pina colada + a rum shot would cost compared to paying out of pocket for a regular Pina Colada.

For our cruise next year we booked South Beach because we were told it was a bit quieter then the other 2 locations. I'm not sure if that is actually true though.

I won a $100 OBC that I'm going to use on our Thanksgiving Navigator cruise, so that will come in handy.

Still sold out. I think I'm just going to try and get the 10% off my Symphony cruise for 6/2022.

I had the same issue. I called and it was no problem. We did purchase the Refreshment Package for my wife though.

My 7 day Navigator drink packages are also more expensive than my 7 day Symphony. Odd.

It's Black Friday or bust!

Thanks, Steverk.

I know most of the sales for things like drink and dining packages usually last for 7-10 days at a time. Does anyone know if their Black Friday sale is just for that one day or do you remember it lasting for multiple days?

We purchased The Key, but it is for our June '22 Symphony cruise. We are hoping the cruising world is 100% back to normal by then and all the benefits of The Key are available.

Same prices as the Summer Sale.

The Summer Sale they had that just ended was pretty decent for the Dining packages, Drink packages and The Key. We didn't notice any price drop for our particular cruise during Memorial Day. I've heard the best time for sales is during Black Friday. We are hoping for a drop in Coco Cay add-ons during the next sale.

Hoping for a 4th of July sale this weekend. We didn't get one for Memorial Day, so you never know.

I've seen a couple instances where people ignore the red seat covers with "RESERVED" in large letters at a show.  Then the Genie comes along and tells they have to move.  At this point they freak out and claim all sorts of things.  Some slink away quietly knowing they got busted, some have a full Karen moment even in the pre-Karen days.

Naturally they rant about Star Class but it's their own stupidity on display.  

Lots of people do the same with the reserved rows for Sky Class.  They see empty prime seating and decide to go for it only to be blocked by a crew member.  Then the whining begins.  I feel bad for the crew who have to police it, they've heard the same old rant every show, every cruise.  

When I had the Key one time there were two us at the Flowrider during the hour reserved for Key members.  We just went again and again after each other.  Other non-Key guests were giving us the stink eye.  Too. Friggin. Bad.  

Don't like it?  Buy it.  

Their ship, their rules.  Don't ever feel bad using the perks you paid for.  

We will have The Key for our Symphony cruise next year. I guess we should be prepared for "the look" as well. Knowing me I'm actually going to like getting the look. Lol.

Thanks KWong & Linda!

This probably sounds like a silly question, but since we are on the topic of coffee, does anyone know if French vanilla creamer is available on the ships? More specifically on Symphony.

Welcome to the message boards!

All ships and even week to week there can be small changes in port times so there is no one answer to this question.

The cruise planner might allow you to book both but make sure you leave at least 90 minutes between excursions, maybe more since these excursion don't always run on precise military timing.  

Thanks for replying and for the advice!

Does anyone know if it is possible, while in Puerto Costa Maya (from 8am-5pm) to do the sloth/monkey experience and do the ATV excursion in the same day (booking through cruise line)? Thanks!
