Just a tip when choosing a solo cabin you will receive one C&A point per night since technically there is no single supplement on the fare.

Harmony will have the full sushi menu however not all ships will have the full menu. It depends on the ship class.

Izumi sushi, best rolls or things to get

Truffled Lobster Tempura Roll has been my fav as well as dumplings for starter. If you want a cocktail the Spicy Okinawa has a good kick. Enjoy! -
Morning or Evening Stateroom Service Preference?
khynzelman replied to ZBrady's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
On the Quantum I wasn’t given a choice however I probably could have asked. I’m an early riser so the morning worked for me and the attendant as well. He mentioned he now has 25 staterooms instead of 17 so more morning services help him plan his day better. -

Yes definitely turn on the airplane mode. It will also drain the battery roaming all the time. If you want to make and receive calls you can purchase the on board Wi-Fi to use Wi-Fi calling while at sea.

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Grooming Treatment with Shave
khynzelman replied to Noah Thorne's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Book early as sea days are popular for the spa. Also ask about the level of experience the hair staff has doing men’s cuts and shaves. I’ve come across stylists that are trained in men’s services but mostly do women’s hair. So for the $75 you may not get that level of care you would from an experienced barber. -

CruisingNewb reacted to a post in a topic: MDR vs Windjammer for breakfast?
-
Windjammer wins over all other choices for me just because of the variety and ease. The MDR can be lengthy and unfortunately I've yet to have a properly cooked eggs benedict there. If the ships have it these venues are my favs: park cafe, solarium bistro, cafe promenade (great bagel bar), Two70 bistro, diamond lounge

I'm with you on this as well. I was excited about he d lounge and joke about the different lounges that are partitioned off somewhere in a corner. The Odyssey has a pretty nice one and does have windows. Maybe instead of one dedicated space the lounge could rotate to different venues throughout the cruise. I would miss using my key in the door though.
-
Maybe a different color key card for d and/or d+ and drop the pins except for pinnacle. I've rarely seen people where them and like me have clipped them to luggage or a hat. The key card color is a nice level of visible recognition. The staff wouldn't have to squint to read your level either. Additional Spa benefits. Celebrity gives free access to spa areas on a port day. The 20% off one service is nice however most of the staff are unaware of the comp add on service benefit. A free class in the fitness center. Change the BOGO specialty dining to be valid for the entire cruise except day one and day two. I've had hassles just trying to get reservations for this benefit. The staff have figured out ways to do this already. Priority using the Royal Up program. Maybe this is already considered it's just not published. Airlines do different versions of this. As a fan of the crystal block program it can be quite a chore to plan your milestone cruises in order to receive a different ship's block. So perhaps there's a way to have a flexibility in that benefit. Lastly maintain consistency in the program across the fleet. Some ships do or don't do certain things. i.e.-welcome amenities, upgraded bathroom amenities, chef's choice amenity, priority venue seating, and a working coffee machine in the d lounge

Yes the ship change and booking early definitely paid off to our benefit. I was disappointed the Norway ports were dropped but that just gives a good excuse for another cruise!

I loved reading this thread especially about the history of the C&A program from long time cruisers. Seems like the program is due for a change and hopefully the new C&A Ambassador will set that ship on course. Loyalty programs are all about recognition and reward. As long as they are able to consistently deliver on those promises hopefully most people will be happy.

I agree the amenity is usually repeats of what they have in the d lounge. But I do love the strawberries the most. The amenity I received on the Grandeur last week was a shrimp scampi, salmon w/ cream cheese, and grapes. I'm not sure who would want to eat warm fish on a plate that could have been plated hours earlier unrefridgerated. Maybe that's why they had a major Gastro virus outbreak on hat cruise.
-
Well, was just on the Grandeur and had a crab cake with a long blonde hair in it and the the beef tenderloin was cold as well (Maybe that's why they had a major Gastro virus problem on this cruise). Always glad to have other choices and went to the Windjammer instead and found it tasting great with the usual choices as well as a different theme each night. As I've heard many times it depends on the ship and the cruise. However if I only took one cruise a year I can understand it being disappointing. For what the cruise fares are I do expect more consistency though.

Excited for this bucket list itinerary. I've heard great stories from previous sailings. Any repeaters joining for advice?
