I seem to remember a discount at the spa for C&A members.
This is from last year, but I believe I had the same discounts available on the Allure at the beginning of the year: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/crown-and-anchor

We just found out that when we sail on the Harmony 5/20/17 another couple will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary which also happens to fall on the same day 5/24, small world

Ok Let's dissect this response.
 
"Royal Caribbean International has introduced a new premium room (I WOULDN'T CONSIDER SOME OF THESE ITEMS PREMIUM,SCRAMBLED EGGS,FRIED EGGS,GRILLED CHEESE,HOT DOG AND QUESADILLA WOW)service menu in order to enhance the dining experience and to provide more options for guests. The new menu features upgraded items such as the Royal Wagyu Burger, a classic Philly cheese steak with shaved rib eye, chicken wings with a choice of four sauces, and a healthy grilled salmon dish with cucumber mint yogurt, to name a few.
In addition, new breakfast selections also have been introduced to the menu to provide an upgraded in-room breakfast experience for guests. Continental breakfast items, which remain free of charge, will still be available to all guests.(GUESS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ORDER JUST CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, THEY WILL NEVER GET IT ON TIME OR CORRECT)
A new convenience fee of $7.95 per order will be introduced for any orders including the new premium selections. This was introduced to better manage the high demand for this convenient and upgraded service.(SO NOW THEY WILL GENERATE MORE REVENUE AND BE ABLE TO HIRE MORE STAFF, SO ONE SHOULD EXPECT NO DELAYS, COLD FOOD AND ORDERS CORRECT) Breakfast items listed under the continental menu will still be free of charge.
The new room service menu will be rolled out across the entire fleet starting in March and will be onboard all ships by the end of May."

So I was a little worried when we booked a 12 night on the Serenade with the Family.  It actually turned out the perfect size ship.  When you don't have all the bells and whistles, it allows you to spend more time with the family.  You get to do some of the traditional things people did on cruises, shuffle board, cards, talking having conversations, and playing pool on the really neat self leveling pool tables.

A week before Us!  Enjoy, She is a great ship!

I heard that they were removing coffee tables from the rooms and I am not sure why they would do that?  It's always a nice place to put the room service tray, play some cards or use as a place to put sea pass cards so they don't get lost.

My son (16 and 5'11) slept on the sofa/bed for our Navi trip in March and fit.
I am trying for people on this blog to start posting pictures of staterooms.  Just think if we include a picture of the sofa bed in sleep mode, how helpful it would be.  Just a thought.

OK, here is my spiel, I was in Corporate Accounting for 12 years and the opportunity to do what I always wanted to presented itself.  I have been on the department now for 10 years and wouldn't give it up for the world.  I wished I had started earlier!!!!

Oh trust me, they are very lucky children and awesome kids as well, very proud parents.  We were on the Harmony this past thanksgiving for the inaugural voyage.  Check out the pictures I just posted.

Year 2016
First Hump Stateroom on starboard side forward.
The last photo isn't of a stateroom but people from the south will recognize these people.  They always come with us for Thanksgiving.  lol
 
 

Actually, I think they are considered 2D and 5D which I think were the old Deluxe Stateroom category.  The new purple shades indicating new categories is hard to figure out.  
 
These staterooms are only located on deck 7 forward and aft.  The preferred location would be forward because the aft ones have a bit of overhang in front of you which is a result from the venues located right below the aft ones.

Hello All,
 
I am not sure who the person I would direct this idea to so I hope the correct person reads this topic.  So I was thinking it would be nice to have an area that post pictures of staterooms located on all RCCL ships.  Pictures of staterooms help me with the following:
 
If bed is by window or slider The configuration of the bathroom Does it have a shower curtain or enclosure If it has a balcony does it have an obstructed view or the view it provides A way to confirm the "symbols" RCCL provides on deck plans match with picture (upper berths, sofa bed,connecting door, the location of the connecting door) I know the web has another site dedicated to this but it would be nice to just search RCCL.
 
I have attached some photos that I  submitted to the other web site for examples.   I say the more photos out on the world wide web the better.
 





 
Any Thoughts?

I much rather prefer to have the sofa by the slider vs the bed in balcony staterooms.  Is there anyway to figure this out on the Oasis class ships?  We are in 11300 on the Harmony on 5/20/2017.

We did a Christmas, New Years Cruise on the Serenade in 2015 which was very memorable for our family.  We were really impressed one night the crew gathered in the centrum, handed out Christmas sing along books and it attracted a really good amount of people.  They also had fake snow falling from the top.  Then on New Years Eve they had many different venues around the ship with different themes and music .  We went to the Centrum for a balloon drop.  We even went to midnight Mass on Christmas Morning.
 
Check out our Christmas tree!  My son had the idea of using old sea pass cards for ornaments.  
 
 
We are on our 6th Annual Thanksgiving cruise.  We are hooked.   The chef's really have the traditional turkey day spread perfected.  Plus, when you are on the inaugural sailing of new ships(Harmony last year, Symphony 2018) it makes it that more special.  

What do you call the white mushy stuff between a shark's teeth?...........slow swimmers.  :o

And when people post pictures of staterooms specifically the threads should be consistent with wording to make it easy to search.  For Example,  
 
Stateroom Photos "Ship Name" "Stateroom Number" "Category Class" "View"
 
Stateroom Photos Navigator of the Seas 9270 Balcony Ocean 
 
Stateroom Photos Harmony of the Seas 12305 Neighborhood Boardwalk
 
Stateroom Photos Anthem of the Seas 7715 Interior Virtual 
 
I pulled the information from FLEETWIDE RECATEGORIZATION GRID document.  I was thinking of adding "category description" but thought that was too much. Do you think people would embrace this idea?

I also wonder how much of the 7.95 will go to the staff?   I always tip the person who brings our breakfast in the am.
