I will be perfectly honest. We have not sailed UT yet (booked for next March), but we just sailed LB last August (2023) and we did not enjoy the ship too much. We booked LB solely based on itinerary (it was going to Canada/NE) and once onboard, we found her to be lacking compared to her sister ships (Freedom/Independence). Now, UT is a whole other class, so it really isn't a fair comparison, but the thing we found lacking the most about LB is the she has not truly been amped. We missed things like El Loco, freestyle machines, even hand washing stations at the WJ (LB doesn't have these). The entertainment was typical of Freedom class ships, but the ship itself seemed a bit more run down than Indy and Freedom. For that sailing, it did not matter to us as much because we were off at the ports a lot, but I personally would not do LB again unless it was an amazing itinerary or she gets amped.

Safety hazard and how to escalate further up
Lovetocruise2002 replied to Someone_else's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If we can remember this, then we can keep this thread open. But it’s getting close…. -
What?! No way! That makes me sad, next time please come say hi. I love meeting people from this RB Blog community. That was the sailing that almost did not happen for us either because of health issues with my Dad, so when you mentioned your Mom, that resonates with me. We also will be spending some time in Rome in July after our Voyager sailing. Can't wait to follow your adventures!

For a September sailing, assuming you did not make final payment yet, you are still free to change flights and you would not be charged a change fee by Air2Sea.

No secrets here. And I only won twice lol. But my gut tells me that it is easier to win with 2 people, rather than 4. And @mom2mybugs, why not just bid on all that you are interested in? That way if you win, you’re good with any of them. For Icon inaugural, we bid on anything that we would be happy to move to. But I bid the highest on the room category that I suspected was still in inventory.
-
Have you tried to call them? I book frequently with Air2sea but have never tried to change after final payment. However, with a 2 hour difference, it would not hurt to call and at least ask if they will waive the change fee.

Exactly! Gave up guessing long ago!

2 Royal Caribbean Blog Facebook pages?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to USFFrank's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
This is the official interim page. https://www.facebook.com/share/bmabYSpVFuWfVZtG/?mibextid=LQQJ4d The other one is a fake. -
You can bid on as many as you want, but the system will only let you win one.

We can all help @Matt by reporting the non-legit page. -
Omg...some of these tangents from live blogs lol...first Batman and underwear math, now lucky red undies

An add on comment re: Oasis rink...it's definitely smaller. Back in the days of our first few cruises (20 something years ago), Hubby used to drag his hockey skates on board. He no longer does that. Not only is it pure chaos, but the ice surface is awful for moving around. I know nothing about skating or ice surfaces, but Hubby tells me it's not worth it. He and the kids still go for a skate each time we cruise, but don't expect much.

Marla is awesome! Tell her that Sabrina and family say hello. We had her last year on HM in the Villa and ran into her again during Icon inaugural. I am super happy that you decided to blog this one. While I have nothing booked for Icon in the near future, we do want to sail her again one day. And I am super interested to know what the uncharges are for SC. Rumour has it that they have changed it to include few more things, but then someone said a few weeks ago that was not the case. So please let us know what your experience will be. Good luck on your RU bid, but it might be a blessing if you don’t win it. That balcony has zero privacy! You will see when you get there. Go to Swim&Tonic and look up. You can practically touch the RLS balcony.

Yet another snafu with final payment due
Lovetocruise2002 replied to TessFromFlorida's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
But that has happened to others. Most of them stem from the last round of Black Friday CP purchases/refunds. Too many! Even with the help of my TA, my head is spinning. -
Yet another snafu with final payment due

I actually wondered the same thing because even I am second guessing if cancelling and re-booking is worth it. -
Total Solar Eclipse 2045 & CocoCay
Lovetocruise2002 replied to Rackham's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hubby just told me that some cruise lines are already offering Iceland/Spain cruises for August 2026. I asked him where he saw this, he said a FB ad, and of course he could not tell me which cruise line lol. But last night, I took a look and he is right. Cunard already has sailings open to Iceland/Spain that are focused on the total eclipse in 2026. They are almost sold out. Not that I would want to go on Cunard at this point in my life. Princess has already announced they will have sailings going that way as well, and Holland America too. If Royal or X could commit to such a sailing to Iceland/Spain for the total eclipse in 2026, I would seriously consider it. Can you imagine seeing the beauty of a total eclipse in Iceland?! I want in. But I don't want to sail Cunard, Princess, or Holland America lol
