Eastern Caribbean, I like the islands over the Mexican Riveria and Mexico itself.

Does anybody know if the Windjammer has any type of coffee/tea syrups(Jordans skinny/Torani)

I am flying in a day early, it is the smart thing to do just in case you have a flight delay or God forbid a cancellation and the other reason is buying toiletries at the Publix supermarket after checking in at the hotel so you don't have to worry about what you can and can't bring on the plane. That is for people that are only doing carry on luggage, otherwise if you are checking your luggage then it doesn't matter.

My 3 drinks are Lava Flow with Kraken(Matt's recommendation)-Blueberry Mojito and the Moscow Mule

Led Zepplin- Stairway to Heaven, Fleetwood Mac- Everywhere, Eagles- Take it to the Limit

Does the food variety decrease if you show up at the windjammer later than earlier? Example: showing up at 10 AM instead of 7 AM for breakfast.

happened to me too

Has anyone had issues with the travel insurance thru RC the insurance company is AON. Especially if you have to cancel prior to cruising.

On my disembarkation day (Miami) my flight doesn't leave until 2:50 pm and I really don't want to hang out at the airport for that long. Can anyone recommend a place to visit for a couple of hours I plan on using Lyft to get around.

What is the criteria if you had 2 booked but end up that only one is going on this cruise. I do have a TA but other suggestions are welcome.. on Symphony of the seas Feb25 2023

I plan on using my Pacsafe Venturesafe 45liter backpack it is easy to get around with and is completely pickpocket proof. I know I don't have to worry about pickpockets on the ship but on the islands you have to be more cautious, and in Europe the pick pocketers take one look at my pack and they decide to look for easier prey. So if you are taking a cruise to the Mediterranean I recommend a Pacsafe type luggage.

My 45 liter and 15 liter size pack.

Yep...that's the same with me on that sailing also.  Got all shows booked.  Hoping that we're able to get our 2nd and 3rd specialty dining nights on the night we want once we board.

Me too

I have done all of my check-in process at the 45 day mark except for the health and safety part, also set sail pass is ready, it is now 32 days until embarkation and my luggage tags still show pending. Is this normal or should I contact RC services.

If you’re planning to visit guest services near the end of the cruise….I would recommend not waiting until the last moment. Guest services can get very crowded with very long lines on the last night.

Thanks, I actually plan on going to guest services on the day before we disembark in the morning hours.

How do you get the cruise compass PDF? Instead of having the cruise compass on my phone, can I place it on my Amazon FIRE HD tablet.

I was lucky enough to reserve my shows, but only because I checked my RC app daily otherwise I would have missed out. (Symphony OTS Feb 25th)

when it is time to pay the piper at guest services and you have one CC on file but you decide to switch to another CC, will guest services accommodate?

actually your check-in is 45 days out

I have been able to make show reservations during 45 day check-in Feb 25th - Mar 4th Symphony OTS -, reserved Hiro, Flight and the late comedy show for adults only.

Can you order more than one entree at the same time with this new menu coming out, excluding both the lobster and steak which are extra.

The credit card you should get is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, not the Chase Sapphire Reserve, it is a great card for all types of travel including cruising.

Thanks for the info. Happy Cruising everyone

I was able to check in on both the website and the app, it gave me a choice of either filling in or taking a photo of my passport, I chose to fill the info in. As far as a face photo I'll do that later, I entered all my info and all ready have my set sail pass and was told to bring all documents to the terminal and fill out the health questionnaire 24hrs prior to boarding and do the safety check. The question I have is that in the past you would place a photo of your vaccination card in the app and waited for confirmation, and now there is no spot in the app to take a photo of the vax card, is this something new?

On the new menu for Symphony OTS, does it correlate with the 1 thru 7 days as you scroll down the different menus? EX( 1st=Welcome aboard, 2nd= French, 3rd= Italian and so on).

Thats so I can reserve certain days on MTD.
