Same for us. We like having Diet Coke in the can so the refreshment package allows for that. I just tell them that I am using the Refreshment package and when I am using the Diamond vouchers - that way everyone is one the same page. Only once did they mess it up and they corrected it when I saw it on our account.

We did the Odyssey in July this year (Rome, Santorini, Mykonos, Ephesus, Naples). We took our Granddaughter for her high school graduation gift. We have also done the British Isles cruise on the Jewell two years ago. Spain and transatlantic are both on our bucket list for we can check off two for one!

We will be booking tours ahead of time also. What tour company did you use? We have used Vidor before in Italy and really like them.

We we finally booked our first Transatlantic cruise for March 2026 on the Harmony OTS going from Galveston to Spain. Our friends that are going too live in Houston, so we will go stay a couple of days with them before heading to the cruise port. We will both be retired by then so we will be able to relax and enjoy without the worry of work stuff. We are also staying a few days at the end in Barcelona. Checking off some of our Bucket Lists!

We always get it and find it is a good fit for us. We like the Key check in, the lunch once aboard and they will take your carry on luggage and put it inside your cabin, we like having special access to things (such as ice skating, flowrider, and etc), you also get to pick your luggage up in a different area that all the others if you do put your luggage out the night before. One of the name reasons is we each get our own WiFi as we always need that and all in all, we feel like we get our monies worth.

I can't answer your question; however, we will be on that same cruise. Hopefully all will go smooth for you guys!

We pre-ordered Euros from our bank and used credit cards when possible. Our CC company did not charge foreign exchange fees.

We will be on the Odyssey in July (Rome, Greece, & Turkey) - so it appears that the elevator situation isn't going to be "fun" for us. We are taking our 18 year old granddaughter on this cruise for her high school graduation gift so hopefully (fingers crossed) that we can make the most out of it. Service and food are big for us and that seems to have positive comments from most.

We changed our Alaska cruise to a Canada cruise. We had a change fee of $100 per stateroom. No certificate was issued, it was just changed.

We stayed at Springhill Suites Newark Liberty International Airport in October and will be staying again in June for our cruise. Nice hotel.

The Key has been worth it for us. We have done the Key on our last 4 cruises and on our 2 upcoming ones.

Our last two cruises were on the Jewel of the Seas. I purchased wine thru Royal ahead of time and all the wine ordered was in our cabin when we arrived. However, the cabin steward did not have cork screws and they called the dinning room/room service people and they would only come to our cabin and open the wine for us!!! I took it down to one of the bars and they opened it for me. After that we just took a bottle down unopened to the dining room and they opened it can kept it for us the next night. From now on, I will take my own cork screw. I actually have a Royal Caribbean one that they gave us years ago so I will just bring that one. I even went down to Guest Services where they told me to take it to a bar to get opened....This has August 2022 and October 2023.

I just did this in October. We rented a car from Hertz (thru Delta). You have to take a taxi to Hertz. We drove to Montreal airport for our flight. We didn't do the trains either due to us not familiar with them either. The only problem we had was trying to get to the rental return lot at the airport. We finally pulled up to departures and hubby went in and asked. The airport was about 2 hrs drive. Once you get out of downtown (Hertz) you are on a major highway so the drive wasn't hard at all (except for the 5" of snow falling like crazy!).

We loved it! We even got snowed on ! There is a lot to see and we love the Jewel. There were a lot of excursions in each port of call so a wide variety to choose from. The food/service was excellent also. This was our first Diamond cruise so the 4 drink coupons were put to good use. I wish we had time to have done a B2B on this one.

The 70's night was the most attended thing on our last several cruises. We look forward to the 70's more than anything else. There were many that dressed the part and we enjoyed all of it! We are 66 and no canes or walkers here; however, so what if there were - the music was way better back then and what is out there now! As a matter of fact, the dance floor was full and many were on upper floors dancing & singing too.

It is the Fall Foliage Canada Cruise on the Jewel. They only have like three (October). We were on October 20-30th this year. We went out of Cape Liberty port and ended in Quebec City.

The Jewel is one of our favorite ships! We just sailed on her twice with the latest being October 20-30th this year.

We have the Key for our Jewel OTS cruise this Friday. The email said arrive at 11:30 am. The earliest I could pick on the app was Noon but we will get there at 11:30 am. We have had the Key several times and 11:30 was our time with all of them.

It is fall break for my Grands this week and it is fall break here next week so that is probably why so many kids are there.

10/20 Jewel

One of our favorite things to do! Sometimes hubby will come off with a "I can't un-see that!" or maybe even "I need new eyeballs!" (Our youngest granddaughter coined the "new eyeballs" saying

We have done the Key several times which makes it so nice that they put our bags in our room before we are allowed in there.

It really doesn't bother me with what everyone wears (such as PJ pants, shorts or similar) in the dining room, shows and such places. Once they set down, you don't really see that anyway. It doesn't change how much a enjoy my meal or the show.

You are correct (Jewel, Liberty, and Odyssey)

I just checked my app and all 3 of my cruises show up and no orange message. Hopefully it is corrected by now.
