We got Express Boarding for Icon tomorrow! I originally checked in online, but after reading this I went back and scanned our passports and took new photos. Crossed my fingers and toes that we'd get Express Boarding and we did!

We only play slots (and sometimes video poker). It's easy to track points and not a mystery like with the table games.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's in the works. Depending on how things line up, it might be enough to push me to try Celebrity again.

My husband and I are the same tier status too and he gets better offers than I do. It's not based solely on your tier status.

Those offers are based on your actual play in the casino. If you play more, bet more and have more points at the end of each cruise than your wife then you are a more valuable player to the casino and they give you better offers. 

Email today from Club Royale about Hard Rock Partnership perks. Discounts on rooms at Hollywood and Tampa. Signature and Masters receive an "annual complimentary stay" with property credit. I can't find anything on the length of the stay.

Are there places at the port to rent mobility scooters? My hubby is fine on ship, can always go slow or find somewhere to sit. My fear is the long walk from port to Perfect Day for instance.

When you exit the gangway, there is a tram that will take you from the ship all the way down the pier to the island. Then there is a short walk to pick up another tram that will take you around the island, making several stops.

but I got a nice RU from an inside 4V to a panoramic OV 1L on Indy.

Excellent! That's one of our favorite categories on Voyager and Freedom class ships. Enjoy!

Doing a 5 day cruise from ny to Bermuda in October. I get motion sickness. How bad are the seas that time of the year ?

I bring non-drowsy Bonine with me. I usually take one about an hour before the ship leaves the embarkation port just in case there are rough seas. One pill will last 24 hrs. Then I gauge how the seas are when deciding to take another the following days.

Yes, we received a Royal Up offer for our Prime cruise. In fact we receive Royal Up Offers for all of our casino booked cruises.

Radiance Nov 2, 2024: Coco Beach Club was $86.99 and is now $75.99!!!! Going to check my other cruises.

We are on Wonder right now and there is a wedding party onboard. We were on Allure last week and there was a wedding party onboard there too. Is there a phone number you can call where you can talk to a person?

At least the photo on the app shows several guys and none have a sport coat/jacket on, definitely looks less formal than Empire Super Club (though the server in the picture seems have similar/same uniform as ESC)

Also only 5 course, so less than ESC and mentions biscuits and short ribs vs ESC highlighting Wagu and caviar -so hoping pricing will be at least little less. Obviously not cheap lol

I hope so. It seems like a fun dining experience. We took the auto train a couple of times from Virginia to Florida and enjoyed the dining car. It was nothing fancy but to me it felt like fine dining, lol.

OK, guess it's only sorta new. I've never seen anyone mention it before.

I recall seeing it once before with NCL's Upgrade Advantage, which I believe also uses PlusGrade. Maybe Royal is just starting to utilize this feature.

We have 50% off an Ocean View Infinite Balcony for our June 1st Icon cruise. It's been in my account for a while, but there was never any notification from Royal that they dropped the minimum bid price. We are currently in a Central Park Infinite Balcony which is fine for us. Besides, we like to pick our cabin location.

We just got off Allure this morning. They had Crown Royal (not sure if it was in Schooner, Vintages or both). I think there are some cruises when they're out and others when it's back in stock.

That pricing would be a no for us too. And if the dress code requires jackets for men, that would definitely be a "no" from my husband! 

The 2024 "Signature Event at Sea" has popped up in my Club Royale account. No details on the website, but I found the PDF associated with the offer code.

It will be on Symphony out of Cape Liberty, NJ...four dates. I had hoped it would be out of Florida, but I'm sure there are a lot of players out of the NY/NJ area, so this will be convenient for them.

We've requested a specific room in the notes section and that has worked. But...our most recent interaction with the website left us waiting several days with no response. We ended up calling and booking to make sure we got the room we wanted. We now call and don't waste our time with redeeming online.

Both times we were at Terminal 5 in April, there were no gates when leaving at the end of the cruise. Unlike Terminal 1 where you may have to scan your receipt on leaving before the gate will open.

We're still waiting too. We have several Utopia sailings booked, our first on July 22nd. I wish there was more info on the menu, etc.

omg!!! I would have screamed among other things. lol Overwater cabana is looking like a good option again.  

It was quite surprising when he just emerged from some foliage near the entrance and started making his way to the al fresco dining area. Perhaps he was late for a reservation!

We saw an iguana in April. We were sitting in the main area under the pergola and he just strolled through.

We were on Adventure last week for a Southern Caribbean cruise and early dining was at 5pm even though our invoice said 5:30pm. I think you can show up as late at 5:15pm.

I see the new one if i use Icognito mode.

It looks like it the old site is there if you click on the "Do you want to see more options".

Looking at the Google Street view is what got me a little worried.

I pulled up the Google Street View and at the bottom it says the image was captured in Jan 2023...over a year ago.

According to the Port Canaveral Cruise schedule, the only ship over in the Terminal A area will be the Disney Wish. There shouldn't be much traffic.
