I agree completely! If you can book an aft boardwalk on deck 10 or 11 on the Oasis class ships, the view is amazing and you can enjoy the aqua show from your balcony.

I have 2 cruises booked from Barcelona this year on Oasis. One was booked through a USA agent and one in the UK. The USA cruise for the drinks package has a headline rate of $69.99, when you check out it adds on 18% tip and a 10% Spanish tax. The one priced in £ adds nothing on, it's all included in the headline price. They are 2 separate cruises so the price is different so you can't compare exactly the cost but it's within a few £ per night. So I would say no- you are not being ripped off, it's just a different way of pricing things in different markets.

On this episode of Windjammer guests behaving badly... I watched a lady just stand there at the wall next to the condiment pumps and eat her dessert..and then she just left and walked off. This was after I watched another guest taste test stuff as she put it on her plate..just full on picking it off her plate with her hands.

I loved the cabin 10329! Last cabin.

Reminds me of my grandfather. Always thought someone was trying to pull one over on him...

This is why my range bag is only a range bag and nothing else.

You two look like you are having so much fun! Looking at your upcoming cruises, how long will you be on Independence in August? We will be on her starting the 24th.

Where are best Aft Boardwalk balcony rooms on Harmony of the Seas and what deck is best? Thanks

Thanks, was able to cancel my Sake & Sushi lunch and rebook ; saved a couple of $$ , but that's money in my pocket not Royals'.

The Four Points Sheraton at the corner of Highway 1 and 18th Street is close to the port and also offers shuttle service both from the airport and to the cruise port. I would recommend requesting a room on the east facing side as there is quite of bit of traffic noise from Highway 1 on the west side.

According to google, the current exchange rate is essentially 1 dollar to 0.8 pounds. So $25 * 1.18 = $29.5 final price * 0.8 = 23.6 pounds. Pretty similar number. It's always important to compare final price to final price.

Wait til you get on board then pay in dollars.

Yes, I prefer GT over GK. Am doing GK on Freedom next month and we'll see??

I also had a problem trying to use my OBC to purchase airport shuttle tixs on the website. Tried it on the app and it worked. so maybe a glitch on the website??

Yep, type-o. Should be 19-23 Aug 2024

Yes, got the conformation. I'm happy.

I've noticed the pricing plateau as well the past several months. I think we may have finally hit the ceiling on dining (and beverage) package pricing. Now if only internet and shore excursion pricing would finally top out too...

True. The one and only time we had some OBC left it was from the credit card and it was returned to the CC.

Symphony seems like a popular choice. I also chose Symphony for Dec 1-8, upgraded to a gty balcony. I actually tried to sneak in an 8 day on Oasis for the same week but 3 different reps weren't having it. I'll usually try something 3 times with different reps (like upgrade prices) before I go to plan B.

Well, we spent Saturday at Baha Bay. It's a nice place but expensive. Our tickets said to meet at zone 3, but it was actually zone 2. At the designated time, we got our wrist bands and walked to the buses. The buses were packed. 15-20 drive to the resort. After a quick security check entered the resort. If we come back in Dec, the grandson is going to love Turtle Beach (kids area). We explored the area and ended up relaxing at Baha Bay Lagoon. Overall, it is a very nice facility, but expensive. Example - $5.00 for a 12 oz. can of water, $16.25 for a double scoop cup if ice cream. If you decide to leave early, It's a $25.00 can ride back to the ship. We are discussing weather it is worth going in Dec.

We just booked for our June cruise on Quantum of the Seas with the deal at $39.99. Looks like it will be interesting.

Alaska is amazing, went in 2017 and it's still my favorite vacation/cruise. The White Pass Railroad is a great excursion, definitely one of the highlights for my family. Enjoy this trip!

I was able to get 30% off today on a 3 night dining package, with gratuities included. I rarely see sales beyond the standard 20% on the three night packages.

It would seem i need to start up the novena again! And i agree: much easier to buy new than mend!

The sale that came out today had the best deal I've seen yet on a three-night dining package for our sailing (October 13 on Symphony) -- 30% off the the rack rate instead of the usual 20%. Not sure if this affects many other sailings, but if you've been on the lookout for those rare deals on the three night package, now might be a good time to take a look.
