No need to see a duplicate post...

On board and in the Suite Lounge by 11am. First official drink, already gone... Moscow Mule, from the Champagne Bar (oh how I missed it)

At check-in they offered a nice pouch for your card. Nice size group of b2b folks

All checked in waiting to board. FYI: Just talked to the agent guarding the "lounge" All suites (Including JR -Sea class is still covered-), Pinnacle, and Diamond Plus are allowed in the "lounge" area. The lounge area has beverages (coffee, juice, and water) and some snacks like cookies and pound cake. Diamonds have their own holding pen.

Hotel breakfast, I do the same thing in WJ.

Will definitely share about the festivities. My only thought is if Symphony will truly be able to decorate. Not sure if they would local stuff or have stuff shipped to them from the US.

What a wonderful sight!

Pre cruise dinner delivered to the hotel room.

For some reason I want to say that beverage pricing already factors in gratuity when sailing out of Australia and New Zealand region.

Carnival Magic passing by Messing around some with Lightroom. Had to to make some adjustments to get any vibrance in color. So dull out here.

Made it to the hotel for the night. Homewood Suites near the port. Happened to see these menus in the elevator lobby.

On board background information. October 29th 2017 sailing (7n) Western: Port Canaveral, Sea Day, Labadee, Falmouth, Sea Day, Cozumel, Sea Day Accommodations: One Bedroom Aqua Theater Suite, deck 14 (A4)

Sorry to say... I'm back again ready to provide another quality LIVEish! This time around I'll be on the Oasis of the Seas for Halloween. For those that want to get an idea of what I'll be posting look back at my last journey on board Also, keep an eye on Twitter/Periscope for any material not posted here. Twitter/Periscope: @CGTLH

You got it...

Then comes the wonderful fold of dynamic beverage package pricing. For some odd reason Royal can't come up with one standard price for the Deluxe package across all ships and sailings. I've done a back to back where the package was a different price for each voyage. This was reflected online. Then on board when asked on board they said it would be the same for the next voyage. Next voyage, package price was increased...

That information came up when I clicked on view details. Sneaky it doesn't give those details otherwise. Would be nice if it did show any type of break down showing a discount. Like I said, used car sales tactics. Just add it to the list of other "sales". Add: Drink package sheet from Anthem

Yeah, Royal has really gone "used car sale" style in a very bad way. This latest promotion really makes it shine. Sad part it is accurate based on the assumption of on board pricing. Plus on the page it does state the price is including the discount. Issue is the banners don't make the claim discount is based on the on board price. This capture is from my upcoming Oasis sailing in January. Accurate based on pricing I saw on Anthem at $58 a day.

Edge will use Terminal 25 http://www.porteverglades.net/cruising/cruise-terminals/terminal-25/

Nope, just the nice "little" brother. Will say that rollaway was evil. Shift the wrong way and either the foot or head side of it would collapse. Had no locks on it to keep it from easily folding up.

For Harmony and Quantum class best would be a pouch. Those ships use proximity cards and the antenna runs around the edge. Other ships that isn't an issue. My case the hole was done at home for adding to my collection.

I know for a fact they exist on Anthem. I was the lucky one to sleep on one for 9 days...

Hooked... Just hope it isn't Seafood Shack/Rita's Crabshack 2.0

Here is a Sky and Star class card next to each other. The hole on the Star class card was added when I had gotten back Another casual observation that the scanner doesn't pick up. The cards I got on Harmony and Anthem have a metallic look to them. The ones from Allure and Oasis just seem to be a flat color.

Looks like this solidifies CP 150 and Wonderland in the same locations as Harmony. Just odd it was never included in other material and the deck plans. On the same subject of deck plans, odd I don't see where Izumi is located. Still on the Izumi thoughts, don't see on the US Symphony food page for Izumi listing Habichi, just hot rocks. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/symphony-of-the-seas/food/

Check out this Compass, starting on page 19. Sure something newer might exist, I just know it exists in this one. https://issuu.com/hochmania/docs/merged.compressed_7208cf1f53160b/19
