@Shanethegriff, we booked a 9-night August 2024 sailing on a Symphony JS last week. For this cruise, our price was +/- $2,960 pp w/o gratuities.

We usually pick our own cabin, as we have found the potential savings from doing a guaranteed cabin not to be worth giving up the option to pick our room. Having said that, we decided to "roll the dice" & try a guaranteed cabin for the first time when we sail on Symphony (JS) next summer since it will save us +/- $1K per person (+/- $2K in total).

We tried Royal Up for the first time during 2023 & had "beginner's luck." We took 2 cruises last year & had successful bids for both. For our sailings on Ovation and Anthem, they contacted us 4 days and +/- 30 days, respectively, before our sail dates to inform us of our successful bids. Good luck with your bid.

The weather has been intense so far on Anthem. Were originally scheduled to arrive in Port Canaveral (PC) tomorrow (Tuesday) @ +/- 12 PM. They made an announcement this afternoon that we won't arrive there until +/- 6 PM & will only be there long enough to restock provisions. Accordingly, no passengers will be permitted to exit the ship & all shore excursions in PC were cancelled.

We recently sailed on Ovation, for which we didn't get our SeaPass cards until our cabin became available. We headed straight to CK for lunch on embarkation day. Upon arrival @ CK, we provided them with our room number since we didn't have our cards yet & they were able to look up our room / confirm we were eligible for lunch there.
