  1. At current prices I'm not interested in the Beach beds or Cabanas but I'm wonder if anyone has experience showing up on the day of and just seeing if there is any "deal" to be had. Rather than have it sit empty has Royal ever discounted these sorts of things, either on board the ship at the Shorex desk or on the island, once you are there?
  2. Definitely no free wifi. We couldn't even access the ship wifi from where we were at Columbus Cove. I'm not sure about other areas though.
  3. I think Ken mentioned earlier that there was supposed to be 5500 onboard.
  4. Maybe the tires need to be balanced.
  5. No, If you are in suite you'll have lavazza coffee machine. They will replace the pods everyday when your room is serviced. If you are not in a suite you get nothing.
  6. Is it top 30 only or all pins or are you in a suite
  7. No, if they have the status they get the benefits. However to improve the status they have to earn the points on their own. Call Crown and Anchor and make sure your accounts are linked. When they are your spouse should have the same status as you.
  8. We got it for $33 pp for Oasis next December. That was during the BF sale. At that price it is worth giving a shot. If I don't like it I can always just walk away and go somewhere else.
  9. Diamond has saved me money... On top of the Balcony discount ($225 per cabin), the drink vouchers have stopped me buying the DBP for me and RP for DW. That is a savings of $800 per cruise. DW will only use two vouchers on port days and three vouchers on sea days so that means that I have 5 or 6 vouchers at my disposal. The coffee machine in the Crown Lounge means that I don't have buy or use a voucher for my morning cappuccino. I'll buy a few drinks over the course of the week when I have run out but the cost of those is discounted sometimes by purchasing the drink of the day or using the coupons for beer and cider. So while it is not a total of $800 saving off the drinks it is still very very substantial. People often poo poo the photo benefit but I have enjoyed getting a formal picture on every cruise I have ever been on. In the past I had to pay for them. Now we get two for free. Another benefit that has value is the $10 off the laundry bag. I'm almost always going to use this service. I have no desire to wash underwear in a sink and hang them to dry. I'm on vacation for god's sake and $25 to have clean underwear and t-shirts without me putting any effort in is money well spent. I'll be diamond+ soon and it'll be free. Right now $10 that stays in my pocket is good. Later on $35 staying in my pocket will be even better. I'm not sure if Twangster was being sarcastic or just trying to make a joke or was sincere but he is a great poster and would have meant no ill will.
  10. I think this is a very important point... My suspicion is that current demand is a surge and not something that will be sustained over the long time.
  11. Is her status linked to your account. IF so then she will be diamond as well and get them.
  12. Or maybe one the first day and a different one on the second day 🙂 I'm sure I'll be there at least twice. With lunches probably 4 times 😇
  13. I've got the UDP booked for our Icon sailing in November... I've got a bad feeling that I'm going to spending a lot extra on those Tomahawk steaks.
  14. I'd head up on Day 1, scout out the location you want and see if you can get your name put down on the one you like. It'll be up to the guy at the bar if he allows preservation. I had success doing it on Navigator this year but YMMV
  15. Post this on your Roll Call. This will get lost on the general board.
  16. This!! I'd hate to be negotiating a wagon full of stuff around. Just checkin at 12:30. Cabins will be ready by the time you hit the deck.
  17. I don't think Jake is a Nun but staying inside the compound is still good advice 🤣
  18. No additional fee. I used vouchers and someone in our party (non-diamond) had the RP. We both ordered milk shakes from JR's and had no additional charges.
