For the promo I think the requirement was you had to be gold already.  Since you were in a star class maybe they'll make an exception but according to the promo you would only get 8 since it was your first cruise and wasn't gold.
You can call crown and anchor society number.

I do this for a living, and yes a lot of material gets moved. All roads need to put fill in 1 foot lifts and need to be compacted to 95% or more before next lift can go on. Also many underground utilities go in under a road like water, sewer, drainage and power, so a lot of digging and putting back. after all is in, then gravels go down, then finally pavement. It's a long process.

I was 11 points shy of diamond when I booked my double points trip for March odyssey cruise, but wanted to used my diamond perks for it. So I found a cheap 6 day balcony in November double points to get me to 81 points. Then got to fully enjoy my 8 day cruise in March with all the vouchers drinks. Then got 32 points for that cruise. So now I’m 4 cruises from diamond plus. One will be on Harmony in December.

The last 2 cruises there was only one theme night, and that was Caribbean night. Have not seen any other yet. But with things opening up, maybe more will come. I miss toga night.

Yes, I was on that cruise too and was watching us dock, it took the Captain 3 attempts to dock.

We had well over 20 MPH winds in March and swells were so bad, they delayed offloading for over a hr. They had to call to see if it was worth staying docked. But they got the OK and we got off a hr. late, but stayed a extra hr. On dock side, no one stayed as winds were coming from that direction and were brutal. We were at breezy bay, and wasn't to bad. The wind did calm a bit, so it turned out a nice day, but the sun was out. If cloudy, might not turn out nice.

I'm going to try this out for my trip on March 26th 8 day cruise. I have always got the drink package, but now a diamond member, I'm going to see if it worth it or not. The package for my wife and I was going to be $1250 for both with gratuities. I plan on drinking the same as always and will see what total bill is at end of cruise. I'm not into special coffee's or fresh juices, so it will be mainly drinks and water. But by my calculations, I would need to drink 9 a day (4 free and 5 for package) to break even. Days at see I can see doing that, but the 3 island stops, not so much. But I will have fun trying and will let you know how it came out.

There’s a different policy to cover that scenario and you’ll get a refund

After my cruise, all I can say, boy I’m glad I didn’t buy the drink package. I saved about $1100. My wife and I had about 70 drinks total. We drank more on sea days and went a little over our vouchers, but not much. Island stops we broke even or didn’t even use them up. In Aruba we didn’t get back on ship until 7pm. Then we had 4 glasses of wine at 1/2 off and the casino gave us a bottle of wine and we don’t gamble. So with all that, I only spent about $150 on drinks. Granted I’m not a huge drinker, but I don’t think I held back if I wanted one thinking I would need to pay as I had over $900 in OBC due to cabin price change, so money wasn’t a issue. But as I was thinking about my last cruise on Allure in November with the drink package, I felt sometimes I was getting drinks to make me feel like I was getting my money’s worth, but really didn’t need it. So for me being a Diamond member, the UDP is not worth it.
on a side note tho, it seemed staff wasn’t to excited that I was a diamond member by there expressions, and it seemed like all my drinks we very weak almost virgin like. Yet on Allure with package, tasting the booze wasn’t a issue. Even on CocoCay, I found drinks very weak Maybe it’s just in my head. I guess I’ll find out again in December on Harmony.

In November, we enjoyed a lot the aqua show.  Especially my wife with the men divers.

This is happening to us right now on odyssey. They asked for blood donors. Now they are full bore to Aruba. We are supposed to be there 8 am tomorrow, yet we arrived at 10 pm tonight as they could not do what needed to be done with patient.

Very windy and high swells. They held off disembarking for 1.5 hrs to see if it would be safe to dock. They got ok and we are staying a extra hr. Winds have calm a bit, but on dock side the waves are crashing big time against the shore. But it’s sunny and sitting on by daybed at breezy point with a lava flow drink.

It was less then $20 for a taxi for my wife and I on Saturday. Imho you will pay a lot more for a transfer.

Glad to hear you are getting sun. We had calm seas but it was windy and overcast and spitting the whole time we were there.

I leave in 2 days on a 8 night southern on Odyssey of the seas. I’m in a aft JS for the first time, and excited to see if aft rooms are as good as everyone says. I also look forward to Aruba where I set up a horseback excursion as my wife always wanted to do on the ocean beach, then we are off to ride UTV. And most of all, not needing to wear a mask on the ship.
