This'll be our third cruise since it restarted! First one was on the Celebrity Edge in Sept, followed by the Disney Fantasy in Jan. We will be going on the Symphony on the April 23rd Western Caribbean and Perfect Day cruise. At CocoCay we will be having a Beach Cabana at Coco Beach Club, very excited about the views and food! First time there. My wife and I also have passes to the thermal suite all cruise, so hopefully it's not too crowded. Day 1 - Depart Miami Day 2 - At Sea Day 3 - Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico (Possibly Mexican Salsa Experience and Beach Break) Day 4 - Roaton, Honduras (BOSS Underwater Adventure) Day 5 - Cozumel, Mexico (Legacy of the Maya: Ruins and Chocolate Tasting) Day 6 - At Sea Day 7 - Perfect Day at CocoCay (Beach Cabana at Coco Beach Club) Day 8 - Worst day ever, Disembarkation My wife and I are VERY excited for this cruise. We're going with her parents, aunt, cousin, sister, brother-in-law, and two friends. All in all, there will be 10 of us, all with the UDP, my wife and I are planning mostly everything, so it'll be fun trying to make those reservations the first day... We all either have the UDP or Refreshments Package. This is our second cruise on RCL and most of the parties first cruise ever. All of us will be in Balcony rooms, but we submitted a Royal Up bid for a 2-Bedroom Aquatheatre Suite and a Star Loft Suite, for that Genie Service. We only put in the minimum bids, so not expecting to get them. This community has been so great answering questions about all things cruising. Probably have the entire cruise ship memorized from watching hours and hours of Youtube videos. Let me know if you guys have any recommendations. Will update this as we get closer to the date!

Royal Caribbean only has a contract with ESPN I believe, so they'll show whatever ESPN is showing at the time.

There is no comparison between Wind Jammer and Cabanas, WJ is soo much better. And food on RCL is better.

I have a question for y'all. We did royal up bids on a 2 bedroom aquatheatre suite and a star suite. If we win our royal up bid within a week or two of our cruise, can we add people who aren't cruising to our room? Or if they have a room and refund it for FCC? Thank you

The food is much better on RCL, and Celebrity for sure.

Thanks for the info. Wish they had something like the medallion with Princess.

Are WOW bands worth it?

That's good to know, I tried using my global entry card to get on a Disney Cruise in Jan, no dice. Guess the person scanning it just had issues, luckily I brought my birth certificate.

Where is Covid testing $139 at CVS? I've only seen no cost covid testing there...

Anyone know what the Symphony currently has?

Was easy for me, the employee asked me what the reason was (diabetes), and just put it through.

April 23 Symphony

Found this from last week on another blog.

I would also like to know, will be going on the Symphony in April. My wife would be devastated.

Question for everyone, I'm in a party of 10, we all have the UDP, and I have everyone's reservation linked to mine. Can I go to a specialty restaurant and create reservations everynight for everyone? We all want to sit together, yes I know it's a very large group. I would make a list I could just show the host. What are the odds that we all could sit next to each other?

We're on the Symphony on April 23 and put in some bids on star suites. Minimum bids, so we will see if we actually get them. Coming from a balcony. If we do get them, the genie would be amazing.

Unless you're flying premium seats, where are you seeing $3k for a roundtrip flight for two? Flight costs aren't that raised right now.

No, you must both get it. My wife and I are cruising in April, and I can't drink (diabetes), so I contacted RCI and they let me get the refreshment package and her get the unlimited drink package.

Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it? Make sure you delete all the data as well.

How much is The Key on your cruises? Ours jumped all the way up to $41.99/day

You get unlimited specialty dining for 3 nights.

Cannot wait to be on the Symphony in April! Glad to see all these pre-covid activities coming back! Love the on-board competitions!

I would definitely look up a golf cart tour of Rome, so fun and you can get much closer to everything, than in the busses. A lot of Europeans take European cruise lines, especially if they speak a different language.

yah... sometimes it takes them awhile to find the information.

Hopefully it's a mixture of both, adults only area and suites only area.
