But please wear more than JUST a T-shirt! 😆

Having been on two ships with the Bionic Bar last year, I kinda agree with retiring the concept. 
We used it once on Odyssey since we had never seen it in action before. The quality of the drink was underwhelming and we never used it again. (I'm pretty sure the robots don't put much effort into the drinks since they're not gonna see a tip! 😆)
At about 3 days into the cruise, it was practically abandoned by guests for the remainder of the cruise.
On Quantum a few months later, I didn't ever see it being used.

Thank you for this information. I really appreciate it 🙏

Welcome to the boards, @Aaron B.
Please be sure to mention these people on your official post-cruise survey. As mentioned by @SpeedNoodles, this is only a fan site not affiliated with Royal Caribbean.
Also, I'm glad to see a new member with a complimentary first post. We often get an influx of new members that join up specifically to complain. (Often about things of their own doing/misunderstanding of policy).
In fact, this happens so often that I initially misread the title as "complaints" instead of "compliments"! 😆
 

Hello, Candy. Welcome to the boards. As someone who's spouse has to eat gluten-free, I've made a few posts about how well Royal Caribbean accommodates her dietary needs. Here's a good link to one of my posts.
 

Matt has an article on this today

One thing I'd clarify, not all ships have a GF section in the windjammer, though will label a few GF choices. And the ones that do vary quite a bit in their selection.

And private transportation accommodations from the port!

I was just going to suggest this to you, @Art T.. I posted a while back on how to I viewed our GTY cabin assignment using the "Bar Code Trick".
 

Thank you for your detailed and informative post. We sailed on FOTS in January and were very pleased with how my son's GF diet was accommodated, minus a few hiccups. The only two disappointments were - no GF pizza at Sorrentos the entire cruise, due to supply chain issues, and no designated gluten free station in the Windjammer. It wasn't a big deal - we would just ask a chef what he could have and they would bring something from the back kitchen if asked. Otherwise we were very pleased with how smoothly things were in the MDR and at Giovanni's. 
We are sailing again in 2024 on Symphony of the Seas - I'm hoping it will be just as wonderful.
 

I hope you mentioned them on your post-cruise survey!  This is a  fan site only, and Royal Caribbean will not see this message.  Glad you had an awesome time!

If this is a serious post, how does anyone, regardless of age, making Pinnacle impact you negatively?
Are you upset if someone re-marries and their new spouse gets top tier status because they married into it? 

I appreciate all of the support I receive from this community!
Thank you!
 

Hi Qeyton and SPS, Cool! Cool! idea to scan the barcode! I downloaded a QR and Barcode scanner and indeed a series of SKU-like numbers appeared. There it was, our deck and what could be our room number indicated by the last 5 digits! 🙂 Thanks! Hoping that indeed this will be our room number eventually which would be near the already assigned connecting room. My question is this though, why would RCC go through this process? Beats me. 😞  At any rate, thanks both for the heads-up and tip. X fingers this is the one!

We can link the reservations, I just wasn’t sure if that automatically linked the tables as well. Thanks! I’ll call and make sure.

I think you will need to call and have your reservations linked, so you'll need each party's reservation number.
I not sure the app is set up for this. I'm certain I've seen it on the website, but, of course, I can't find it!

From the Royal Caribbean site FAQs:
 
To avoid that might I recommend a cup holder like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0781K452Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Assuming people aren't taking cups maliciously/intentionally (which I feel fairly confident in thinking people aren't) a holder will help identify his cup as his. Other options are stickers of his choosing to slap all over the outside (just don't cover the bottom where the chip is)
Option 3 - he doesn't carry the cup when he's not going to use it and just makes use of the soda options at the bars which will be given in regular cups. Honestly probably harder to know because even I never know if I'm going to "use" the cup and just carry it everywhere.

Well she got the escorted departure at least.

I assume that you are talking about Belize, correct?  There was a changing area on arrival to use and lockers to keep your stuff. (The lockers have keys with lanyards you can attach to yourself or something you are taking with you.) We changed into our bathing suits and some shoes that we didn't mind getting wet (sandals, water shoes). The walk took 30 minutes just because there were stops along the way for the guide to give information about the area, plant life, and local wildlife. It's not too far of a walk at all along a gravel/sand path.
TIP. Get a waterproof phone case for taking pictures inside the caves. It also works as a good tethering point for your locker key.

Interestingly enough, in a letter to upcoming spring break cruisers, Carnival has included this policy that they will be cracking down on speaker use in public spaces. I'm guessing that they are expecting a lot of wireless speakers to make their way on board during this time.
