The poster I was answering to was said they were worried about RC canceling their cruise after spending a huge amount of money on flights and hotels. I'd be more worried about the airline than the cruise line - because, of course, airlines customer service is incredibly bad.

I believe the odds of your airline cancelling your flight/not allowing you to board are higher than the cruise ship doing so.

Back in like 2006 or something like that, they had Beatlemania - which is the most recognized Beatles tribute band in the world. The show is incredible and their resemblance to the actual Beatles is scary.

I'm also interested in knowing what Ship is going to Galveston after Harmony, but my 3 minute detective work gave me nothing. The only repositioning cruise (right now) scheduled for March '26 is Harmony going to Barcelona. Now, if you are interested in my baseless guess (which, why?) - I'd say it is probably going to be another Oasis class ship.

Wait, Phoenix as in "1901" Phoenix? That's a pretty solid get.

I'm not sure which sailing you are doing. But I'm going on Quantum for the 7 night VAN-SEA cruise and you can only get speciality lunch on Days 1, 2, and 6.

If you take away the ship, it's just you sitting on the ocean.

And thus, 'dressing to impress' others as to how little they care. Disclaimer: It's only a joke because that was some low hanging fruit. Wear whatever you want, I don't care.

Given that the Sky Junior suites aren't going to be available until 2025 and RC's IT department reputation. I'm gonna go with mistake. Either way, I'm not really interested in paying more than what I already did. I just found it interesting that apparently they are bringing the Sky JS to other ships.

Update: I finally realized why, when mocking a non-GTY booking for 3 people, it only showed me 5 available cabins. For some reason, the only cabin type that I'm offerred is a JY, which is a Sky Junior Suite. After about 5 minutes of research, those were previously only announced for Icon class, so it seems those are going to be on at least Harmony as well. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/harmony-of-the-seas/deck-plans/2334/06

@Debstr66CK is only on Oasis and Quantum class, so, sadly, no.

This is not in any way advice at all: But whenever I've brought either wine or sodas, no one from security has ever questioned me at all. And they don't really know who I'm travelling with.

Don't get me wrong. This is 100% my mindset going to the cruise, but was curious about the possibilities.

@BRY7 @Linda R SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE? What gives me a little hope is that the category I was offered when mocking a select-your-room, there were only 5 staterooms available. I'm not exactly sure how that works since we are only 3, but were offered 5+. Honestly, it's mostly whatever. I was just curious to know if there was any chance of anything better.

I either did a dumb impulse buy or a pretty smart one and got a GTY Suite on Harmony for January 2026 (don't tell RC but I got KSF while my kid is not in class). Anyways, I have a few questions: - Is there any realistic chance I get something above a Junior Suite? According to the reservations page, they only have 5 left that could fit us (I checked the suite for 2 people and there were plenty). - In case I do get something better, would I enjoy all the respective tier's benefits?

I've usually cruise without much extras. It's totally fine and I'm 100% convinced no extras are necessary. But for my next 7 night cruise, I did get 3 specialty dining lunches and the soda package. Our reasoning was: - We are travelling with a kid under 5, specialty lunches are free for the kid - so why not take advantage? - It will be our 3rd cruise in a bit over a year, we are kinda tired of the buffet and it's nice to have a nice sit down lunch. - For the soda package, I sometimes bring a 12 pack instead of buying it, but not having a car and trying to find a Target/Wal Mart/whatever and then having to carry the sodas until the stateroom is ready seems a bit too much, and I'm paying for the convenience. But it's totally ok in my mind to go 0 extras.

They wouldn't change the itinerary. If RC deems Colon to be too risky or unavilable, they would change it, they might change Colon to another port, or just skip it. But your cruise won't be cancelled.

I don't know what age are your kids, but I feel you. I once heard an older lady bitch because my 4 year old was being a 4 year old and playing with sand on the Coco Cay beach.

This may be a dumb question and sorry if it has been addressed elsewhere, but it's my first time with Black Friday offers with Royal. Is the sale expected to last all the way to the 24th? Or is it just a few days before the offer disappears? And another question is - do offers change during the promotion or do they stay the same.

@Xaa - I think they even have regular Starbucks cups at the CP. At least I seem to remember that but I may be wrong. But I still find it weird that the rules for the standalone kiosk and Café Promenade are different even though it seems to be technically the exact same product.

So...now that Royal seems to carry Starbucks as a default on Promenade, what is the difference between getting a capuccino here vs doing it at the standalone kiosk? I know that in CP - you can use your C&A discounts and your coffee card, but not in the kiosk. But I've never really understood the difference. I would assume that CP is serving Starbucks branded coffee.

At least they used a picture of an actual passenger during disembarkation as background.

You can always rent a car and drive from Disney to the port. There is a car rental place in Disney and you can drop it off at the port - I found that even with the "different location" surcharge, it was the most convenient option in my case, and close to the cheapest.

Unless you are having breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a specialty restaurant or skipping any of those meals - you are basically stiffing the people at whichever venue you are eating.

You know what? I think I was hacked. You are right. Honeymooners SHOULD! try out for the LMS. It's looks so fun and I wish I did it during my honeymoon. And with those amazing prizes, we were dumb. Or - y'know, do it because I need to be entertained.
