  1. You can also try to book it once on board in the app.
  2. It depends on how badly you want a balcony. Sure, book the OV in the group and hope the balcony prices are in the price range you want come final payment, but don't count on it. An even riskier bet is to count on getting a Royal Up at a reasonable price inside final payment.
  3. There's no break in her current schedule for anything like that.
  4. Ask that via the three dots in the upper right.
  5. The cabin sink is pretty convenient.
  6. Yes, though exact obstruction and how annoying it may be to you will depend on the exact cabin. View some cabin review videos on that deck on any Q class to get an idea.
  7. "The Icon of the Seas vessel being built at the Meyer Turku shipyard was alerted on Thursday, February 2, after ten o'clock in the morning. The cause of the fire alarm was a fire that broke out in one of the ship's stairwells. As a precautionary measure, all the approximately 2,500 people who worked on the ship were evacuated from the ship. According to the BTI, the fire broke out in the ship's upper deck structures. The fire was extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher by the shipyard's own fire brigade. Work on the ship was able to continue, with the exception of the fire area, just over an hour after the fire alarm was issued. The cause of the fire is being investigated. The material damage caused by the fire is estimated to be minor, the shipyard estimates. Anna Hakala, the shipyard's communications manager, told Yle in the morning that the evacuation of the Icon of the Seas vessel caused a slight delay to work. "Of course, this caused delays when the workers had to leave the ship. They have already returned to work. We are investigating the damage caused. Icon of the Seas is a cruise ship under construction for Royal Caribbean International that will become the leading ship in the Icon class. It is scheduled to enter service in 2024. The rescue department praises the ship's safety planning On-call manager Juha Virto from the Southwest Finland Rescue Department said in the afternoon that the first-aid extinguishing was carried out in an exemplary manner. "The fire had been contained, and it was left to the rescue department to ensure that people in the vicinity of the fire area had all been able to get to safety. After that, we used various technical devices to determine whether the fire could spread to the premises surrounding the fire area. Once it had been secured, the task for the rescue department ended quite quickly. Virto praises the shipyard's safety measures. "The good safety planning of the ship is reflected in the fact that there were no personal injuries during the evacuation. The security arrangements there have been handled quite well."

  8. Most don't and the odd one that does, it might be handled outside of the app.
  9. If you book an older/smaller ship on a longer itinerary you won't have that many kids, regardless of unique/unknown holidays (and you can also avoid partial charters usually).
  10. I think someone else reported walking from terminal A back to another ship somewhat recently. But, the trolly might be a good option - you should have plenty of time between the sailings so waiting a bit should not be an issue.
  11. Navigator has newer tech drone show at the start of the ice show - probably very interesting for an 11 year old.
  12. There's your issue - go on Oasis for half the price so the not-so-great things would be more palatable. I assume you realize that some of the complaints are known (CSR giving out wrong info about max table size) and avoidable (book a different ship/itinerary if you don't want kids, groups).
  13. The free texting option within RCI the app can work for that - you don't need a Voom package for it.
  14. If you filter the search engine here in the RCI section to titles, you can find a lot of things, including your request.
  15. It varies by ship, but usually as long as you pay for it by day 2, it can be for any night.
  16. No, she's coming right back to the west coast and a few sailings after the dry dock are already listed. The rest should be available after 2/13.
  17. She is due back from dry dock in about 5 weeks, so she may have some fresh carpet and maybe some other new/changed things.
  18. What internet traffic gets by without a Voom package seems to vary by ship and even device. You are likely to get some inbound traffic (notifications, varies by app), but unlikely any will go outbound.
  19. If you are sailing with someone else and both of you are charging the same card on board, have them cash out via the slot machine.
  20. Yes, but it may not be obvious in the planner as they are marketing it as a VIP pass.
  21. Look at one of the many new menu threads here - they are listed there. Assume that any sailing after next month will have those.
