Go for it! The Villas are two levels like the Crown Loft. Plus you're right next to The Retreat Lounge and the upper floor leads out to the Sun Deck. Negative is Luminae is a deck down. Not the same amenities as Star on Royal. Laundry service twice, specialty dining (not sure delivered), and beverages. Plus stocked mini-bar. Key given, Butler no where near equal to Genie. Disclaimer: Only sailed in a Sky Suite on Edge.

No taxes or fees. However, when moving up to a Grand Suite or better you'll be charged the extra gratuity amount. JS gratuity would be $14.50 pppd while a GS or better is $17.50 pppd.

Wonder if a reverse of what I've had happen in the past occured. When a refund was supposed to be issued it was applied towards the balance for the reservation. Process for the reverse would be the reservation has the charge applied to it increasing the fare. Similar to when OBC is removed from a booking and a Cruise Planner purchase had it already applied.

Check-In for Linked Extended Family Reservations

No need to take/upload a photo in advance. -
As previously mentioned; Windjammer, Park Cafe, and Sorrento's. Another possibility might be El Loco Fresh. Playmakers and Johnny Rockets would probably open up later in the afternoon. Something else to try is looking in the app for various restaurants and picking "Show more" next to times. Then match the date to when you're in CocoCay. If nothing is listed for you sailing. Pick the "person", under your sailing details pick "Select a different sailing". Scroll to the very bottom and select "Get more details on ships we support.", pick the ship, and finally pick a sailing that coming up soon. Once loaded you can see the itinerary by selecting the calendar in the middle. Use it to determine the various port stop/day and repeat the process.

Silly as it seems I'll add to the mix the corridor/hallway the suites are on. Nice having a wide hallway, not playing dodge cart and the ability that two people could walk side-by-side. Also the area isn't as bright as the other decks. Lighting wise is it a bit dimmer. I'll also toss this in with the CLS. While you don't have a second bedroom, you at least have a second bathroom.

Check-in questions and other stuff too
CGTLH replied to skittermagoo's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
During the check-in process you'll pick the boarding times individually. Entering the information during check-in is on a per person basis. One device can be used to check-in everyone. Just keep in mind the process is one person at a time. Yes, using the app the check-in process is broken in to four parts. Travel Info, Arrival time, Vaccination, and Health and Safety. The Health and Safety part can't be completed until around 24 hours from embarkation. Vaccination is optional. This is a personally decision on brining the actual passport with you. One argument in favor brining it with you is the thought... Would you accept payment for something with a copy of a hundred dollar bill? Me personally, I'll normally leave my passport book on-board. However, I do carry my passport card. Seapass card is just a plastic card, think hotel key card. No issue if it happens to get wet. Leaving a bag, one again a decision based on one's comfort level. No lockers are available by the pool. This is a hit or miss item. Use to be a glitch where iMessages would work without having active Voom service. You could activate the messaging feature in the app for $1.99 per person, per remaining day of voyage. Sure, I think the cover charge at Johnny Rockets is $9.95, plus 18% gratuity. This would cover unlimited food and soda, exception would be milkshakes/malts. All the Unlimited Dining Package provides is access to all the specialty restaurants at a fix priced. Learn, learn, learn, and keep asking questions. Watch videos covering various topics. Read up or watch videos for more information about the various ports you might be stopping at. If you haven't already, read: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/getting-started I find using the phone/app to check-in is easier. It allows you to pick an arrival time without having to entering anything. -
Correct, they'll bring food from the restaurant. Booking time at the restaurant is an option if you desired.
-
Yes, you can get items from the Snack Shack. Not sure if they would be prepared at the Beach Club or the attendant would pickup from a Snack Shack. Not mentioned. Getting something from the buffet, that is unknown territory for me.
-
Your assumption is correct. Yes, the concierge should be willing to care of dining reservations beforehand.

If it is somewhere with very limited seating I'd say make a reservation for lunch. I recall on Harmony over Thanksgiving Izumi sushi was full within minutes of opening. Not sure about the hibachi side. Larger venues such as Chops, Hooked, and Jamie's seating isn't as limited. Now there might be a small wait to help pace the waitstaff and kitchen.

D# is Studio B E# are various spots on the Promenade. F# is the dining room deck 5 G# is the Aqua Theater A#, B#, C#: I have no idea

Charged more than $10 at Izumi Hibachi with UDP
CGTLH replied to PG Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Don't know of it is in official documentation. I've always been under the impression with the dining package it would be $10 for a single protein and $15 for a two proteins. Add to the mix the 18% automatic gratuity. This was also what was mentioned here on Harmony Monday when dining. -
4 points per night 1 point per night for being onboard 1 point per night for sailing solo in a non solo room 2 points (1 onboard + 1 solo) x 2 (double point promo)= 4 points

Odyssey was suppose to have a kosher restaurant. I do think it was only going to be available while it sailing out of Israel.

This morning at 10 the CC text message arrived for our bid. So the theory of multiple expired with one pending still holds truth. Nerve-wracking part was the wait as the other staterooms in the category were dropping out of inventory. #team17
-
Yes, deck 17 forward. Access is via stairs on 16. Think Harmony and Symphony have a hot tub. Don't think Oasis and Allure have anything. Wonder will have an area on 17 where the suites all are.

For US sailings yes, per: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/if-need-an-rt-pcr-test-before-i-cruise-where-should-i-go More on Abbott Brand Tests We get a lot of questions about Abbott tests, the most commonly available COVID-19 test brand. Here’s what’s accepted. Any Abbott brand test administered on site by a pharmacy technician or other health professional is accepted. This includes the common Abbot ID NOW test administered by many pharmacies. The test provider must provide you with a proper results document (no handwritten notes).

Trying to remember myself. I could have sworn blue towels had been left at least for the loungers in the past. In September on Allure (2BR ATS) some were left the night before CocoCay. Can't recall if any had been left for the loungers. Also think on Allure you could "order" towels. However, I'm not sure if this was for the CocoCay stop only or not. Normally in the past if you were in a full suite you could get towels from the station onboard without getting your card scanned.

Check the email for the bid confirmation. Should be a "modify/cancel" button.
-
FYI, on the same sailing: RoyalUp bids that I've made have moved to expired with one pending. Unable to cancel.

Sure the Genie has a default selection to pre-stock. Once onboard and the first meeting the exact specifications can be made. Only catch would be anything that wasn't stocked onboard. I know on Symphony 2018 we had a default stock in addition to some of the exact requests. Allure 2021 none of the standard stuff, only what had been requested. Feeling is the various juices are in the default setup. Don't ever recall asking for apple juice on Symphony. Same would apply for the some of the sodas (Coke, Orange, Sprite). Now thinking about it beer might not be stock item to keep it kid safe.
