    SPS got a reaction from Traveler in Wonderland Dining   
    We ate at Wonderland on Odyssey this past January and we very much enjoyed it. Even with my wife's dietary restriction (gluten/wheat allergy) the meal was quite satisfying and the presentation of each course and the signature cocktails was entertaining and fun.
    It was definitely something that should be experienced at least once. (FYI: "The World" dessert is amazing! Chocolate ball filled with salted caramel ice cream, peanut butter, and chocolate mousse. Then hot caramel is poured over the ball, melting the chocolate to reveal it's contents)
    Liquid Lobster, Tomato Water (without the bread foam on hers), and Reconstructed Caprese.

    Sashimi of Red and White Tuna

    The Chicken and the Egg (Crispy skin chicken with potato puree "eggs")

    The Rib "I" Luscious Short Rib

    The Bird's Nest (Deviled Eggs with Bleu Cheese and Hot Sauce on a "Nest" of Wheat)

    Has this been discussed at all recently?
    I put the Deluxe Beverage Package in my cart MANY weeks ago when the price was at the lowest I had seen, but I did not commit to buying it.
    Ever since, I saw the price substantially increase twice while the price in the cart held steady.
    I decided to buy it and see if my in-cart price would be honored an it was!  (And ya know if not, I could've just cancelled!)
    My order history, email receipt, and my credit card charges all confirm that I got it at the previous price that was offered.
    Has anyone experienced this with the drink packages or any other items in the Cruise Planner?

    @SPSyes, I noticed the same thing!  It wasn't on a drink package but it was on something else, maybe an excursion or specialty restaurant.  But I put it in the card and meant to go back to it later.  Kept watching the pricing change and increase so I figured I'd better make my purchase and the price in the cart was honored!  pretty cool!

    SPS got a reaction from Neesa in Gluten Free (Celiac) Dining Review - Royal Caribbean - Harmony of the Seas   
    To add to my previous posting about my wife's experience eating GF on Odyssey recently, a few photos my wife took of some of the gluten-free things she enjoyed!
    MDR - Crust-less Strawberry Cheesecake 

    MDR - Apple Pie ala Mode made Gluten-Free just for her! She liked this so much she made a request to have it again the next night which they gladly did.

    Crown and Compass Pub - Pulled Pork Nachos. VERY Tasty and a great value at $4.00!

    Café Two70 - Turkey and Bacon Club on a Gluten Free Bun and a Gluten-Free Puff Pastry (I can't remember any additional details about it.)

    DD is also celiac/gluten free, but we never thought to ask if some desserts could be made specially gf, and while she likes creme brulee, she didn't want it every night.  I'm going to send her the link for this so she sees what she might be able to ask for, although we will be on Oasis and not Harmony

    SPS got a reaction from Pattycruise in lower cruise price   
    No need to cancel! If the price is lower for the same category of cabin you booked, you can call and get a re-price on your current booking.
    They will reduce the outstanding balance on your booking to reflect the new lower price. Many, many of us on this message board do this all the time! It can pay off to keep checking back to see current prices!
    Also, if the balance on your booking has already been paid off, you can get the price difference applied to your cruise in the form of On Board Credit.

    SPS reacted to twangster in Global Entry and Clear   
    CLEAR isn't at any cruise ports that I am aware of.  
    GE isn't really required or used for cruising.  With the exception of Tampa many US cruise ports use facial recognition for passport holders.  Way better than GE.  In Tampa you give a CBP agent your passport, they may or may not ask a question and away you go.  There are no GE lanes in Tampa so it doesn't do you any good there.

    Returning to Port Everglades had something I had never experienced before.
    You just step forward one at a time to tablet screen to line up your face in a box on the screen, it verifies you with facial recognition.
    A CBP agent standing near it says, "Ok. Thank you" and that's it. DONE!

    SPS got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in NCL Ship Damage -- What Would RCL Do?   
    Well, we had a similar situation in regards to a shortened cruise. Our 9-Night on Grandeur out of Baltimore was delayed by two days because the ship had to stop in Port Canaveral for rudder repairs.
    Even though the cruise only ended up being 7 nights, we still got the original 9 C&A points along with a 50% cruise fare refund and a taxes/fees refund on the ports we missed as a result.

    DAILY gratuities of $14.50 per person, per day ($43.50 PP/PD for the three of you) is for the services of your stateroom attendant, head waiter, waiter, and assistant waiter in the Main Dining Room.
    Many choose to pre-pay these so that (1.) It's one less thing to pay for on your credit card after the vacation and (2.) If you're booking well ahead of time and making payments to the booking until the final payment date, it's an easier expense to cover.
    An 18% gratuity is automatically charged for specific purchases you make on board. (drinks, specialty dining, spa services)
    Welcome to the boards! Use the search function you'll find plenty of answers to your questions and a lot of great advise!
