Sea Squirrel

As everyone else said, You can share your vouchers.

They have Genie's assigned to Star Class guests on Icon, Oasis and Quantum Class ships. Here is a quick rundown: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-is-the-royal-genie

I guess it is safe to say we are hoping for those Icon escalators. Best of both words...win-win!

Lol, IDK. Some days I think they could be using formaldehyde and Sea Squirrel wouldn't care as long as my vouchers work, lol.

The best advice we can give is be up front with your genie with your wants/needs. As others have said, each are different. We've loved every genie we've had. We've had a couple that we weren't thrilled with until we realized we weren't communicating our preferences. Turns out, they are good at what they do but unfortunately can't read minds so we started being more up front. Once we did that, they knocked it out of the park. Shout out to Shane, Leticia, Augustina and Smitha. They've all been all-stars!

Laughing at "fake food truck". I'll take it. The updated elevator banks would be nice. After watching Matt's walk tour, the NOLA style mixed drink machines and the upgraded milkshakes would make me a happy camper. I'd love the fresco Greek but probably a bridge too far.

I definitely should have phrased better @Ampurp85, you are correct. I was just being facetious in my comments. I've always appreciated both yours and @OCSC Mike comments/input. My apologies if I sounded snarky, I didn't intend it that way.

Wow, it didn't take long for the regulars to throw cold water. Sorry for hoping maybe Royal has kept a few secrets up their sleeve for Utopia and trying to spark a little conversation. Geez, this place is turning into a virtual Crown Lounge, lol.

Prices are crazy high but... we'd been watching our June Harmony sailing hoping a Star cabin would open. We searched everyday and doing this, we saw reductions in our CLS twice in 2 weeks resulting in a $3800 reduction. We cant explain it, our TA couldn't either. CLS's were almost complety booked. We didn't care why, we repriced both times and saved the money. I guess you never know. btw...Star Loft came available at about $9k pp. no thanks. We'll enjoy our much cheaper CLS.

I was thinking more along the lines of a marketplace, etc. cant change the footprint of an Oasis class so much but a few new additions would be welcome.

We've appreciated all of Matt's articles and even his Icon walk-through video. I'd love to know thoughts comparing Oasis Class to Icon and what we can expect from Icon to be added to Utopia. We've passed on Icon for Utopia. What's say you?

We've never had a genie meet us after an excursion but we were "pier runners" once and our genie sent a golf cart to come get us (communicated off shore via whatsapp). It was comical. All the pier runners for 2 ships piled on. As for breakfast, usually it comes from room service but we've asked a genie for ck. No problem, delivered hot and fresh. I believe the opening time of ck has a lot to do with it.

My opinion is going to be unpopular but I'll let it fly. Budget for paying for bags. It is an Alaskan cruise. Weather is unpredictable. We traveled in August. Some ports were warm (seattle 90s). Some were rainy, some were cold. Also, give thought to excursions. We had hiking boots we wouldn't normally take on a cruise. We did glaciers and bear watching. Those boots and rain gear were worth it. Even just a quick run to Tracy's Crab Shack, it poured. Plan accordingly.

Does anyone know if the 1hr early boarding time via concierge is still a thing on Harmony?

I feel the same way about Nori. I didn't even know about soy wrappers until I saw a comment from @WAAAYTOOO and tried it on my last cruise. All I can say about that is life-changing. Now I love Izumi.

We weren't able to get those knock-out prices but were still able to get HB for 38.99 for two of our Utopia's...thanks to this thread! It has been 74.99 since we booked when Utopia opened.

Hi @Ryan79, was the cooked shrimp the crispy shrimp roll?

Our UDP dropped from 287.98 pp to 249.99. We rebooked and saved 134 for 3. DBP steady at 81.99. It was 72.99 a few weeks ago.

I didn't see this posted so apologies if it is a duplicate. Europe for summer 2025 (Jun-Oct) is now available for booking. Odyssey, Voyager, Explore, Independence, Allure and Brilliance.

Hi @Jessi Patterson, unfortunately the Harmony escape room is closed for maintenance since March '23. We chcecked with CS for our upcoming sailing. I think they are doing puzzle break as a replacement.

We're on HotS for spring break so I asked Customer Service. Something tells me it is down until dry dock. Big sad face.

Sorry. That was Endicott.

Yes. A small boat came along side almost as if tendering. Excursion guests left the ship to the smaller boat that went to the glace face. The smaller boat met Ovation as it docked in port and excursion passengers offloaded back onto Ovation. You can see how far away Ovation really was from the glacier face. The small boat gets very close.

This seems to be the general consensus on here; makes sense. I totally agree on the service. I can't remember a time the CK staff hasn't consistently gone above and beyond and earned extra recognition beyong the AGs in our eyes. Always top notch.

Thanks, that makes sense. I never paid attention to them asking our cabin number.
