Some people tip every meal. Some at the end. It also doesn’t help that some CK’s you always get the same waitstaff and some you don’t. That is why some prefer to tip daily. For me, we tip at the end depending on the service. If we have more than one waitstaff, we make note of names and find them on the last day. I am actually not sure if auto grats go to them? Maybe someone else knows.

Just going through the thread...about 10-11 people and whoever is coming with them. But just so you know, there are many others who are not on the message boards who are part of the RCBlog cruising community who are also going. It’s going to be a good one! I’m really excited. Thinking we might all need a FB group or something to stay in contact? What do you all think?

Welcome @DebAtSea! This is the best cruising community out there!

+1 on this comment as well.

Sounds like a good idea since I don't want to blog it alone this time. Short cruise, too many friends. But I will gladly add my two cents in here and there. ? Waiting on our fearless leader....

It's ok. I am used to it by now...#sadLulubot

PSA: For all of you who booked the inaugural sailing on Odyssey, note it on "When is your next cruise" and I can add you to the master list. (Only if you want...)

We're on the same deck! But way at the other end of the ship!

So just to be sure, Odyssey is not exactly like Spectrum in that it doesn't seem to have the Golden/Silver JS that Spectrum has correct. I finally had time today to take a more closer look at the deck plans that @CGTLH shared and it doesn't look like they have that Deck 16 setup like how Spectrum does. But it is considered the same class of ship as Spectrum?

I know what you mean. That's how I felt for Anthem in March.

Throwing my name in...November 5th, Odyssey Inaugural! Unofficial GC! Cannot wait for this one!

Woohoo! I have a feeling I will be adding a ton of people to the list on that sailing!

I don't know if they ever started it at Teminal A. As as July when we sailed Symphony, they never had it up and running yet. In speaking to the suite concierge, they were still trying to get it approved.

Hang them in the bathroom when you shower.

At the moment, there is no LV out of terminal A to MIA or FLL.

Jeans? Must be cold! Lol

MEI has group rates for specific categories. Not all categories.

I thought you booked with @CGTLH?

@SpeedNoodles this was our conversation last night: Me: So...You know Royal is coming out with a brand new ship called Odyssey. We haven't sailed it yet. Hubby: Ok, did you already do something? Me: Well, it's a 4 night and a ton of people are going. I may have put something on hold. Hubby: Do I really have options here? Me: Not really. Love you. ?

The only inaugural that we have done is the Oasis inaugural back in 2009. For us the draw is sailing with friends, and like @Rose City Cruiser mentioned, being the first to check out a brand new ship. When we sailed oasis, they gave out some complimentary gifts as part of the inaugural sailing (towels, key chains, etc.).

Yes ?

Where’s your YOLO spirit? We can have lemon drops together! ?

I am cancelling Brilliance for this one. So many from Brilliance are going on the inaugural and Odyssey works out better for us for timing.
