derek burgan Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 We had a sailing on the Harmony that was cancelled in 2020 and eventually RCL rebooked us onto this sailing. "Can not wait" can't even accurately describe our excitement for the trip. Hockeyman55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek burgan Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 We began sailing on Royal Caribbean with the Freedom of the Seas. Absolutely loved it. We then did a sailing on the Oasis of the Seas. Again loved it, but it was a while in between sailings and my g/f thought she would enjoy a smaller ship more than Oasis class, so we went back to Freedom for our third sailing. The cruise itself was great, but we both agreed the Oasis class ship was better. Now we're on an even newer ship with tons of stuff our original Oasis sailing did not have. Counting down the days in anticipation. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyman55 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 We will be on this sailing as well. Our second cruise, with our first being on Harmony back in 2018. Counting the seconds until we set sail derek burgan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 7 more days until online check-in! Hotel - check. Final payment paid - check. Deluxe Beverage Package - check. Voom/Starlink internet+stream - check. Cabana at Cococay - check. Watching all of Matt's videos (some a few times) and live streams - check. Checking out past cruise compass and reading royalcaribbeanblog.com - check. Our first cruise with 3 other couples (our band) and we're all so excited. But who's counting?

Woohoo . .Cococay Cabana buddies Sounds like a very similar scenario that we have with @derek burgan with 11 of us total in the group and with 3 first time cruisers. Been scouring the internet reading reviews, cruise compasses and watching every video we can find.

kthejoker20 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is my second time on Royal. I'm a little concerned that everything is already sold out, on the ship and in the perfect day at cococay. Never had a problem on other cruise lines getting into shows and stuff. Are these ships and ports over capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelAndria Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 This sailing has been pretty popular and things started selling out in October, I think. I don't know if it's over capacity but it seems to be a popular sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyman55 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think with Cococay, it doesn't help that Liberty will be there the same day that we are so that is probably why most of that is booked up (and they get a 3 hour head start on us getting there . . . .booo ). I see some availability of rooms on our sailing so hard to say how full the boat will be. Comedy show im not shocked it sold out pretty quick with the small size of the venue it is in.

Hockeyman55 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 3 day, 2hours, 53 minutes until our boarding time Food I'm looking forward to Mason Jar brunch Wonderland - experience of it more so than the food since im a notoriously picky eater who doesn't like to experiment at all Giovanni's pizza Playmakers burgers and wings and dessert and well everything Perfect Day over water cabana filet mignon Perfect Day chicken sandwich and mozzarella sticks Park Cafe roast beef sandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Let us know what you think of Wonderland. Judging from your self-described "picky eater" my guess is it will be....odd. Hockeyman55 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek burgan Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm also going to Wonderland more for the experience as I'm sure 90% of the food I'm not going to be a big fan of. Have room service penciled in for after the meal. Hockeyman55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
