CruzOnBye Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Me, hubby and our kiddo will be venturing on this ship for the first time. Kiddo had his first (surprise) experience on Independence of the Seas this past March and he was mindblown! So I can only imagine his reaction to this one. He doesn't know about it, or any of the next 3 we have booked . We have a stop in Nassau, we will be staying on board and enjoying the activities! But it's game on at PDCC! No special purchases this go around-basic interior room, no dining package, but we will have the DBP! It's paid for but hoping to get a deal on Black Friday and get some cash back. For a 3 nighter I think we have plenty of free foodie options available on this ship. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzOnBye Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Check-in update: Fell asleep at 10pm. Woke up at 11:15pm. Fell back asleep. Woke up at 12:01am and jumped up to do the check-in! I was like a kid waiting for Santa! Check-in didn't open until 12:10am...longest 9 minutes of my life but we scored 10:30am port arrival! Room: We originally booked this cruise when we were on Odyssey last December, for a really good deal. We booked it through Next Cruise and transferred to my TA at MEI Travel, as an Interior GTY. We generally have booked 99% of our cruises as Interior GTYs and never expect anything other than a blacked out Interior room, which we are always content with. Anyway, after check-in last night, the room was not assigned, however Deck 7 was, along with an assigned muster drill station. I remembered reading on here about the barcode trick...so I gave a shot. Based off the deck # and last 4 digits of the BC, it seems we got bumped up to a Boardwalk View Interior! I think that is super cool. I read online, it is one that fits 3+ people (lol I had to be sure) and this specific room had a lot of great comments and videos online (yes I never went back to asleep last night, I was too excited!!) Just thought I'd share because I haven't heard of these "bumps" happening much anymore with GTYs, but it seems it is still possible! Royal Up hasn't sent any emails yet but the ship seems pretty sold out. I wouldn't RU anyway after this "bonus". I am keeping this nugget of info to myself and making it a surprise to the boys WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzOnBye Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I know some folks like to know RUB offers- mine just came in today. As mentioned above, I'm pretty content with my freebie Boardwalk View room so I don't plan on bidding. Otherwise, I may have attempted to roll the dice on one or two of the below.

Casino chip collector Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Hi, I collect Royal Caribbean casino chip. Still missing the 2 x $5 and $1 Allure of the seas casino chip Trying my luck, if you happen to drop by the casino, could you help to change for two of the $5 chip and $1 chip in relatively good condition for my collection. I will pay for the chip, postage and additional for the troubler caused. Thank you. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
