Marathon Man

Has anyone done the Cozumel Hop On Hop Off with Beach Break excursion?  What was your experience?  There are eight of us signed up for this, but I am having second thoughts.

We have linked our reservations with our friends who are traveling with us.  We all see the same OBC.  The others are first time cruisers.  I suspect that they are seeing our OBC.  Can someone explain this?  Also, the OBC is not really shared, is it?

Seven days from our third cruise.  Mainer of the Seas.

Thank you.

There's also no need to do it the difficult way for no other reason than "That's how we've always done it."  The messaging exists, the phones exist.  Use the best tools available.  Have fun and check in.

Correct.  Indoor plumbing, automobiles, air conditioning, smart phones - why deny advances that make life better and/or easier.

We have stayed in a suite on the Harmony and had our meals in the Costal kitchen.  We are booking a trip on the Mariner, and I don't a CC.  Does that mean that suite guests are in the MDR?  Also, are there any drink perks like on the Harmony?  The description of the room does not mention anything.  Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time.

We will be on a cruise in December.  Check in for our cruise in January begins while we are on our December cruise.  We do not plan on getting the internet package.  I know that the app works without the package.  Will I be able to use the app for check in of our next cruise?

Four couples are booked on the Mariner in January.  How important is it for us to link our reservations in the app?  I know that it allows one of us to make reservations for all of us, etc.  Does it allow one of us to check all eight of us in so that we all get the same check in time?

when money is the only interest,and your true loyal family means nothing,its time to cruise with another company, that really treats true loyalty with respect.

Maybe it is.  I wish you well.

Thank you everyone.  So many decisions, so little time.  

We are currently booked in a grand suite for our August 21 cruise on Harmony.  Toying with the idea of upgrading to a Crown Loft.  It's our first cruise in over 20 years, so we are looking to make it special.  I see that it would be a short walk to the lounge and dining room.  But I am wondering if there are any negatives to these rooms.  Seems like there of plenty of them un-booked.  Any opinions are appreciated.  Thank you.

Thank you for the responses.  That was the information that I was looking for.

I am looking through a Harmony Cruise Compass for a 7-day Eastern Caribbean.  We will be going Aug 21.  I see that they set the sports court up for pickleball a couple of days.  Do many people play?  Should I bring my paddle and shoes?

Hello everyone.  This will be our first cruise since 1999 (on Monarch).  We are sailing on Harmony out of Canaveral and decided to splurge on a grand suite.  I've been reading this and other forums, as well as watching many YouTube videos.  I think I'm mostly prepared, but I have a few questions.  

Will I need to make reservations for Coastal Kitchen for all meals?  We have 'my time dining'.

Is there any advantage to making use of the concierge services for reservations for shows, meals, etc over just using the app?

I am reading that there is special seating at shows for suite guests.  I am guessing that the app will take care of that automatically?

Once I get to the port, do signs direct me to the correct dock and garage, or do I just look for the ship?

Thank you for any response.  We are really looking forward to our trip.

Sailing on Harmony 9/21.  Can I drop off the luggage and the wife at the terminal and then go to parking?  I don't want to assume anything.  Thank you.
