When do you sail? We're 5 days away. Maybe they're processing yours.

Just found out that our interior got upgraded to a balcony!! This will be my 4th cruise and first one NOT in an interior! Have to share here because I am keeping it a secret from my teens. Their 2nd cruise and they really wanted a balcony but we talked them into accepting an interior because we won't be in the room much anyway. So they'll be over the moon!

That's great! I don't have a dining package and am not doing any specialty dining so I won't be able to join. I hope you have a good turn out, though.

Awesome!! Well I guess you're no help to me. I'm hoping for lots of fun shows!

When do you sail @Pooch? I'm sailing on Sunday. I plan to bring mine home and post it all.

Gees.. That seems excessive!!

Can anyone tell me the size of the pool/beach towels. Just wondering if they are the regular sized towels, or big beach towel size. I hate trying to dry off after the pool with a regular sized towel. Also, can you take towels on excursions with you? Debating if I should pack my big beach towels or not. Thanks!!

Does anyone have a recent Harmony of the Seas Eastern Caribbean cruise compass? I've been watching and waiting and haven't seen a new one since end of January. So much has changed since then regarding Covid and stuff. I'm just curious to see how things are running now. Thanks!!

Yea, I've been thinking it sounds silly to offer it on embarkation day. Once your bags are in your room, moving it all would be a pain that I'm not sure is worth it. I'm curious to see if anyone has had to change rooms after day 1. Thanks for the update!

Thanks to you both. I think I'm definitely going to load up my tablet in case.

Hello. Has anyone downloaded movies or shows from streaming services to your tablet/phone to watch onboard? I was just thinking that might be a good idea if we hit bad weather or can't make a port or something. I'm not paying for the streaming voom onboard. This way there's another option to whatever is on TV.

You're probably right. That makes sense. It's the only reason I think they'd limit it like that.

I was saying the same thing. They're all the same things in different places. I understand Covid is putting a chink in everything, but couldn't they offer some vaccinated only excursions that are somewhat exciting and interesting? I've been searching the web for weeks trying to find something fun to do while there. Hopefully we'll all find something fun to do while there.

I noticed that, too. I went back to check double occupancy and saw the same. I don't get that. Why would they want to turn away people booking for 4? Even many of the suites have 4 person availabilities.

I often check availability of whatever cruise I'm on by searching for it through the usual cruise finder site. When I just went to check earlier it said no available rooms for 4 guests. So does that mean that my RoyalUp bid is no longer an option if they have none available? I'm still astonished that there are no 4 person rooms on the whole ship!! What the?!? Does that mean my cruise is almost at capacity?
