It's to keep @Big Dawg Ron out. I approve.

I enjoy fried cakes.

Both did the emed Covid tests and NEGATIVE!   Two more days!

It may be a bit of a risk, but you might get better pricing if you wait until you board.
We did that a few years ago on Oasis and got a good price (sorry, can't remember the cost).

It's up to you to use. It's basically a pass to access the thermal spa area as much as you like.
Depending on how many people buy it and of course actually use it, it can be empty or crowded.

It's great as an option for variety with the Ultimate Dining Package. I don't think I'd use one of the 3 night dining package meals on it..but I've also already tried it a couple of times.

I anticipate we'll miss the spring break crowd, but it'll probably still be higher capacity. Either way, just happy to be back on board! 

This is typically viewed as a good sign that you are likely to win your bid. 

If the biggest issue is bar service - I'm suddenly seeing giving up drinking as a big perk 🤪🤣
Thanks for the tips! We also tend to avoid the Windjammer (other than for dinner on occasion when we don't feel like getting cleaned up for the MDR) so it sounds like this will work out well for us even if capacity is high. 

I would agree with @dr martini , pool bars are slammed, though flashing a little grease to the pool waiters helped the drink issue. We’ve eaten at hooked, 150 central and Jamie’s and have had good to great service across all three. Windjammer I will try to avoid at all costs. We’ve been getting light bites for breakfast at park cafe each morning. I can’t comment on MDR as we haven’t been yet. Trellis bar has been busy at times depending when you went. My kiddos are my governor for visiting other bars so far. Saw flight and it was awesome. Haven’t tried to get them into adventure ocean yet so I can’t comment on availability there. Seems like staff could be the rate limiting step in terms of overall service. But I’m just happy to be back in symphony nonetheless 

I guess on that note - any thoughts or reviews on Hooked? In theory it sounds great but I'm concerned about seafood quality and if it's worth the visit.

We're on B2B April 30/May 7 sailings...wonder what the capacity will be. I'm with you....the thought of Hairspray not running isn't exactly breaking my heart!!

Oh they are quite delicious, especially when dipped in tea or coffee. Or just with milk. But they are not doughnuts... 🙂 

An alternate consideration could be purchasing a Thrill Island cabana - that way, you have a place to relax inside the park, the purchase I believe comes with waterpark access, and your kids will know where to find you through the day.  

I'm definitely fine with that one. 🤪

Is is possible? Yes. 
Are there a lot of variables (delays at customs, delays at security, ship coming back in to port late, traffic) that could cause you to miss your flight? Absolutely. 
YMMV, but there's a strong chance that this could bring a lot of stress at the end of a very relaxing vacation.
