Crews23 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 This is our first cruise with royal Caribbean. We decided on it after watching tons of YouTube videos. Our family is coming which is a total of 7 balcony rooms. We got the drink package so far. I’m tempted to do Wonderland once on board. asquared17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderland is an experience everyone should try at least once!! We did it on our Harmony of the Seas sailing and it was just unlike anything else we had ever tried before. Definitely fun and worth it!! We got some great pictures too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2608 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 We are doing the Chops +1 and have decided to do Hooked because my lady friend loves oysters (she grew up in the bayou region) she is disappointed that there no crawdads being served.

Kristiru Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 My big brother turns 50 on Feb 25, we’ll be partying in the schooner bar that night! And pretty much every night of the cruise :) WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Working on booking this one for my Wife and I. We've been on Freedom 2x and hopefully this works out for us for our 3rd RC adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdwilly Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 My husband and I will be doing a back to back continuing on the March 4-9 sailing to celebrate our 40th anniversary! This will be our first time on the symphony. We've sailed on oasis, harmony and allure in this class and loved all of them. We really enjoy watching the cover bands on each cruise and hoping we can find out who will be performing on these dates. Mike T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 We got our booking deposit paid over the weekend and have CP Balcony Room on 12th floor. Looking forward to this one! @mike2608 We love Chops! Had fantastic service on Freedom the 2x we sailed on it. Thinking about popping for the 3 al a carte option since it's only $102 right now...that's like buy 2 get 1 free! Considering Chops +1 is $85...you might look at the 3 night dining option.

Mike T Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hello fellow shipmates! Hey, could someone please check their cruise planner for me (I don't want to sit on hold with RC)...We purchased the 3 night dining package already for $102...It's not showing up on my planner because I already purchased it and I'd like to find out if the price went down. I see the DBP went from $72.99 to $67.99 this morning and that's pretty good! Also, they are advertising the DBP and Zoom 1 device for $88.99...well, that's $.01 more than if you buy them individually (67.99 + 20.99)...so not really a deal there. Thanks for the assist!

Mike T Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Well, got my answer as the 3 night dinner popped back in the planner at $112.99. Looks like the Voom Surf and Stream went down a bit. If you have purchased this, you might check pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2608 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 It will be nice if by the time this cruise is sailing that we have Starlink 119 days left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Question for the cruisers on this one.... Was thinking of a way to easily meet and mingle with other cruisers in a fun and hopefully harmless way... Contemplating bringing a couple of our packs of Cards Against Humanity on this sailing. Now I say harmless, but if you have ever played this game, you know it can get quite crazy with the scenarios it can present with the answers provided. Amongst friends, that's all good and fine but with complete strangers...I question if this could create a scenario where we would have somebody wanting to toss another passenger overboard?! (kidding of course..but this game can be down right brutal at times) It certainly would not be to create any tension/ill feelings/problems or to offend anyone but rather just as a means of having some laughs and fun on a sea day on deck. Curious your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Anybody getting better than 72.99 and 50% off 2nd DBP with the Black Friday deals/fiasco with the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Anyone on this cruise get the DBP for $62.99...it's currently at $72.99 + BOGO50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNO Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 And just as of last night, we are booked on this cruise too. Mike T, WAAAYTOOO and asquared17 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAYNO Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Yep, we got our Royal Up email. I'm not gonna even try this time. I've never been successful, and we have two very decent cabins already. Good luck to those who are gonna try.

Thought about pulling our bid back and just staying but we bid minimum amount and Ocean View would nice. Had OV once on Freedom and enjoyed it at night.

WAYNO Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Only 55 Days! And I'm procrastinating. I need to book airfare, a motel, and ground transportation, before there's none left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike - EDIT as I should have posted this to @WAYNO We used it 2x and had no issues. I do a lot of research prior to booking and the rates I got from them were within a few bucks of what I was able to find on travel sites as well as direct with the airline. The upside is, if there's an issue with flights, they will handle getting you where you need to go. As for hotels, I don't know if they do that..>I think they do but didn't use them for that part. I did find some okay deals on Air BnB for our cruise out of Miami...found a South Beach Studio for less than some of the hotels out by port.

TheMick424 Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Anyone else unable to see the Solarium Bistro in the app for our sailing? It appears on the web based cruise planner, but no where to be found in the app if I select our sailing.

We are trying to plan our dinners accordingly and this really helped.. TheMick424 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAS from ATX Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 We looked on both the web planner and the app. I can see the kids menu and the wine menu for the MDR, but not the menus for actual dining. I might be doing this wrong, but I cannot find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, thanks..... From the Northwest to the far Southeast is an ordeal and even a chore, separate, over and above the cruise. Leaving at 5 AM the day before, arriving that evening, and finding your way to a hotel, necessitates a complete decompression when we get aboard the ship the following day. Pretty much two days of stress followed by an instant vacuum of no responsibility at all. I can't wait. FloatyBoaty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure one of the bars on the ship can help with that decompression!

Oh this storm is playing havoc. Portland is a mess and many flights are bypassing PDX, creating many more cancellations. We're to fly out at 5AM Friday. The cold is expected to continue, but the precipitation is expected to dry out for a day or two. Hope the highways start moving and the airport gets back to operating. I don't even know where to start if we can't get our flight. Cross our fingers! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
