Unfortunately, they are not transferable. Usually the free cruises you win in the casino have to be booked within 30 days of receiving and sailing within1 year.

I cannot speak to these specific cabins, however I had a friend sail on a different ship in a cabin beneath a bathroom and they could hear noise when the toilets flushed. They said it was really annoying.

We were on the Mariner, a different class, so it may be a bit different. We were in a suite and two of my daughters in a balcony. Key and suite embarked and disembarked together. This was arranged through suite concierge. We were able to all sit in the Key section for shows. It was convenient to have the drop off carry on bag area. I purchased the Key for them because they were going to get internet anyway. If something arises on the ship, the suite concierge would most likely be able to assist.

You won't receive double points for an upgrade. You keep the points from your original cabin.

My daughters and I always get pedicures upon boarding. It's become our boarding day tradition. We haven't booked ahead once and so far we've been able to get an appointment that afternoon.

My adult daughter was unable to go with me at the last minute. When they asked me I just told them she was checking in later. She turned it into her insurance, didn't affect my sailing at all. Her port fees and taxes were refunded. I actually received triple points because I was in a suite. Had a great time!

He becomes Diamond but he starts with 0 points.

If both you and your husband have the same C and A points, it won't matter which of you is in the solo cabin, but if one of you has more points I would book that person in the solo cabin.

I would call back to get a different representative and try again. Even if it was a mistake it's possible you might get further with someone else. Try to call during the day hours. It seems that you are more likely to get a stateside rep and they are sometimes easier to work with.

They are definitely coolers. I leave the cabinet door open so that air circulates around them. This seems to help. I also will leave the ice bucket in the cooler.

I don't have all your answers but the cabanas can only be booked through the concierge. I emailed the concierge and asked for one to be reserved about a month before our cruise.

I may be reiterating somethings already posted. I would definitely book excursions in advance via your cruise planner as the good ones often sell out. If it is already not available, the concierge may be able to assist prior to the cruise when you get you welcome email usually a week prior to cruising. Just email them back with your request. As far as the spa, unless you have a service you need at a specific time, I would wait until on board to get the discounts and they often run spa specials once on board. Also if you are interested in the Chef's Table ask the concierge if he can get a discounted rate. They often need to fill a table on certain nights and will do this. We were invited to join for free a second night but had already made plans with friends. Enjoy your cruise!

When we were on the Mariner and Harmony they were strict about the age.

In order to qualify for the free cruises or money off simply insert your seapass card to track your points.

Keep checking the cruise planner. On one of our recent sailings it showed up and then a few weeks later it was gone. About 4 weeks prior to sailing it showed up again. Possible there may be some cancellations.
