About how much should I plan to spend if I want to be in a similar position to you? I feel like the wife and I have been missing out on ways to cruise more by not spending any time in the casinos. We like to gamble for fun, and would not be expecting to hit jackpots, we would just want to position ourselves to be offered comped or discounted cruises so that we can take more trips. Thanks!

UPDATE: Due to the fact that one of our port stops was cancelled and replaced with a sea day, we were able to get lunch reservations at Izumi Hibachi for that day once on board the ship. It was excellent and the kids had a blast!

Anything above zero is excellent. Thank you brother. I am hoping that they add more lunch for Hibachi that day since we will be stuck at sea...

We are on Symphony from March 17-22 and they just cancelled Labadee yesterday and replaced it with a sea day. Does anyone know if there are port fees associated with Labadee, and if so, how much of a refund should we expect?

Aaaaaaand they cancelled Labadee

My bet would be that they just have a minimum that they want to earn and that if you reach that minimum, they will sell you the room, otherwise they will let the bids continue until the end and let the largest ones win.

Thank you so much!

Ahhhhhh - ok then this actually makes sense! Thank you! I see - we will def be on the lookout for this, then. Thanks!

Hello Fam! I have been looking through the activities for our upcoming sailing on Symphony (March 17-23) and I only see a Teen Skate mentioned on one of the nights. Is it possible that this has yet to be planned, or is somehow not available? I haven't sailed RCL in 10+ years and I am not sure what to expect, so I don't want to set my kids up for disappointment if we cannot go ice skating on this sailing. Any input would be most welcome and we hope to see you onboard if you are also on our sailing. Thanks!

My wife and I booked this sailing for our family and our boys have no idea what's coming. I hope this will be one of their fondest memories from childhood when Mommy and Daddy took them on a surprise cruise. Can't wait!

11:30am boarding times. We shall see!

Aha! Thank you for this info. I will be sure to come back and update this thread after we return for posterity.

Agreed - but there were no availabilities to accommodate lunch time for 4 for our sailing. If there will be an opening for lunch when we board, I will take it, but that gets to my original question - will there be times available that were not made available in the app/online before the sailing? Thanks!

Question about this - are the reservation times allotted for the planner limited? Do they hold back a certain number of tables for reserving once on board only? I was hoping to get Hibachi reservations but the times are too late for the kids. Thanks!
