Does anyone know how the onboard specialty dining prices onboard compare to cruise planner prices? With the key you get 25% off dining, not sure if it would be better to wait to book until onboard. 

I’m on the Harmony sailing for Nov 28 and there is nothing showing available for Coco beach club, no day passes or cabanas. 
 

‘We also were supposed to be at Coco cay on day 7 but they moved it to day 2 and in my cruise planner some stuff shows under day 2 and other things under day 7. 
 

On cruisemapper.com we are showing being there with Oasis, Odyssey and Harmony, is this even possible?

This has been the protocol for a long time. Yes, we are aware my 6yr old granddaughter can not go into port if not on an excursion. We will make it work, we are just glad to be able to go on a vacation

I did not book prior to Sept 30. I booked a sailing for myself and hubby but I know hubby can not go. I put his name on there so in case I find someone else to go I can change names and keep my price.  If I book solo and then add someone they would reprice and it could be higher.

You would get double points for going solo.  But you rate will increase also.   As far as I know.

I don’t think it would increase since I will have already paid for 2 people. 

So if I book a sailing for 2 and I end up going solo I know they refund the taxes and port fees of passenger #2 but then does passenger #1 get double points for sailing solo?

The sharing between spouses was basically my question, I am not much of a drinker so what if I have 3 and hubby has 5?

Can these drink credits sharable with others or do you have to use them yourself?

When we are there Nov 29 it is showing 3 ships there, not even sure there is room for 3 big ships....Oasis, Odyssey and Harmony

We are on the Nov 28 Harmony sailing and our itinerary was changed due to not going to Labadee.  Now on the cruise planner for Coco Cay there are no Coco Beach club options, no cabanas or day pass....seems odd!

I don't know why this is shocking people. Lots of moving parts that also include egos.

Not shocking at all that's why I posted "without surprise to anyone"

Without surprise to anyone I see the PHE was renewed for another 90 days effective this past Monday 10/18/21.  

Is this ever going to end?

Guess I’m in the minority. Used to be the Indy now the Freedom but definitely freedom class.

The couch all the way over at the window in the photo converts to a bed. It's pretty big. We had 11317 and 11319 on Harmony so the layout would probably be the same as yours.

And those couches made into a bed? Because those cabins are showing for 2 as well.

12315 looks like a 1I category so it should be for 3 or 4 if I'm reading deck plans right.

It does show 3, but no upper berth and no couch bed....confusing.

The 1l right next to it 12317 shows 2 berths.

My kids are in a GTY balcony and their set sail pass shows deck 12 and if you scan the barcode it shows 12315 which is a cabin for 2 and there are 3 of them.

This is on Harmony Nov 28

My kids got this email, they are in a GTY balcony and do not have a cabin assigned yet, so they are moving then from an unassigned cabin to a different one?  Doesn’t make much sense. 
 

we are on same sailing and did not get an email.

I am friends with a crew member on the Freedom and text him saying we were going to be on board the end of the month and asked what he needed/wanted and he told me they get everything they need on board or from Amazon 

Last week I did not get my check bag until after dinner.

The other thing to consider is getting through TSA. If you have Pre-Check, then you may be good. Keep in mind also that boarding is usually 30 minutes before takeoff. Hope it all works out for you.

We do have precheck and I'm going to try and pack with carry ons only since it's only a 2 day cruise.

If its a Sat or Sun, I think its doable.  I wouldn't wait to be picked up at 930 though.  I would plan to walk off with your own luggage right away and be off before 8am - that would leave you plenty of time.  If its a weekday, traffic between Miami and FLL can be very unpredictable in the am.

It's a Sunday and yes would get picked up definitely before 9:30.  I'm leaning towards risking it.

I know they say no flights before noon. We are sailing out of Miami and flying out of FLL. There is an 11:15 flight home. We have precheck, is it worth the risk?  A couple weeks ago I feel like we took our time, got picked up at the port at 9:30 and sitting at the gate at 10;30ish

Just booked a 2 night Halloween cruise on the Freedom....seems a bit silly to fly from Iowa for 2 nights but hubby hasn't cruised since before the shut down because he has very little vacation time, so my 60 days just turned into 30.....woohoo

Thanks. That’s the same as the Oasis lagoon pool!
