Sorry for the dumb question but is there a place in the cruise planner to enter the code?

Been a while since I’ve posted but thinking about a cruise in Dec with our 4 kids who will be 18-24. I’ve never booked GTY cabIns before because we’ve always needed multiple and needed to be together. But now that they are older and I can have at least a 24 and 22 YO in each “kid” cabin , I’m thinking about saving $. My real question though is does anyone have experience with GTY reservations on multiple cabins where RCL kept them together or at least close? I realize it’s not a sure thing but wondering if they can swing it, if they try to at least keep the rooms near each other. we would definitely prefer to be nearby each other if possible

Please reply with your favorites and things that are just a no-go (such as Matt mentioned something about a horrible cauliflower dish on his Monday YouTube video).

Yeah…the more I think about it, I’m booking a car. It’s just not worth a few bucks.

Hey all, Any issues/experience getting UberXL or LyftXL from Port Canaveral on disembark day to the Melbourne (MLB) airport? We have an 1130 flight out so don’t want to have to wait a long time for one to show up. I am considering booking a van instead but obviously will have to pay more. Thanks in advance!

Thanks all! I’m going for it!

Thanks for the input to all. Everyone prioritizes different things but to be clear, I’m not the only one looking to get onboard as soon as possible (and yes, I’m a rope dropper at WDW too )….

I know during COVID this was a big no-no. Still the case? I completely missed the 45 day point and now have a 12:30 time in Port Canaveral. Would love to get on earlier to eat lunch.

When we were on Freedom in late Dec 21, they had a bowl game schedule at each table showing games that would be playing. Not March madness obviously but they were definitely aware of the schedule and promoted it.

Family of 6 here. As folks have already pointed out, 2 cabins is the way to go. I started with adjoining for a few cruises, but then switched to a balcony for my wife and me with kids in an interior across the hall. My experience is it needs to be directly next to or across the hall especially depending on ages of the kids. You usually need to have your TA call if you don’t split the adult names across the cabins. That way you don’t have to change the names after you are on the ship. As my kids grew into big teens, we ended up getting 3 cabins (normally 1 balcony for us with 2 interiors across the hall with the kids) as it really wasn’t much more $.

Agree that the ideal approach here is a button in the app that launches the pdf so you can easily access it. Also needs to be available at least early evening the night before for those of us (certainly me) that like to read through the CC as a wind-down activity each night to plan the next day. It seems like this is where they are headed but need to tweak the process of each ship uploading the pdf and making it available in the app (which is honestly the easy part).

OP said Adventure which looks to be sailing 4/5 night cruises, which I don’t think has had lobster nights for a while (old or new menus). I believe they are only on 7 night or more cruises.

I haven’t been following Icon news for a few weeks. Any more info on the Pearl? Just a glitzy staircase?

Agree. Was thinking the same thing. Well, fancy staircase with a light show.

I’ve not seen many renderings of the Promenade other than the 2-3 Matt has now on the blog that really feature the Pearl. Would love to see more there if they exist. I saw his comment that they are adding windows to the sea which I think don’t exist at all today.
