Yeah, I'm experiencing the same issue. I did get my edocs 30 days out yesterday and now know my deck number from the info page and that we're forward starboard from the luggage tag at least. I just want the official assignment b/c that's not our preferred location although we'd be fine with it.

Commonly known as "the barcode trick." It can also be done by adding your set sail pass to your Apple wallet in the app if you're an iPhone user.

That's what I thought.

Yeah, fairly big track shift yesterday from morning to night. Still lots of uncertainty but those of us in central FL and especially the west coast certainly hope it continues to move westward. (I realize this is selfish as it means it will hit others but it is what it is.)

Yes, if you don’t like your assignment you can call & ask to be switched to any available cabin in the same exact category (if booked from the US). I switched a GTY as recently as July.

1. Not everyone’s schedule allows them to cut out June-November. That’s half the year. 2. There’s a low chance your cruise will be affected by a hurricane.

Wow, a rule variation that favors the players? Shocking.

No (unless you were already in a lower suite).

Bad enough that I don't really even bother checking anymore. Don't quote me but I want to say it's all H17, no surrender, and only certain tables are 3:2 while others are 6:5. I'd also guess it's all 8-deck or automatic shufflers. Hopefully someone will give you a more confident answer.

It's an ongoing issue with some sailings. I haven't been able to access my set sail pass at all since checking in 45 days out from my 10/24 Indy sailing. 30 days out today, received my documents, got my luggage tags, but still no set sail pass. This applies to app and website.

Agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that. Just to elaborate, without the ship, date, capacity of cabins already sold, original price and type of cabin, and a whole slew of variables, I don't find the info predictive of future results.

Ian, the one currently tracking right towards central Florida.

Oh I know. Don't mind me. Just trying to keep busy while stressing about this stupid hurricane. Enjoy your sea day!

Apologies for not giving you the credit you were due.

We might retire to Alaska by then! 🤣

FWIW, that's extremely early.

' If you're open to not being on a beach (which is obviously a draw to many), hurricanes really don't affect interior central Florida that much. You might lose some shingles or have superficial wind damage like gutters, trees can go down (we only have palms which won't go anywhere even in a hurricane), could lose power but usually not for that long (and that's what generators are for if you're so inclined), but the chances of any severe damage like losing a roof are extremely low. If we didn't have the water issue I mentioned above, I wouldn't be very concerned at all right now... and this is coming from someone with anxiety issues. Not trying to convince you, just making conversation. Florida is ummm... an interesting place, lol (I grew up in the Philly burbs and moved here after college in 2000).

100% correct... but usually a prepare for the worst, hope for the best situation. Been here for 22 years, seen tracks change both in my favor and against.

Still can't access my set sail pass for my GTY on Indy 10/24 but it's 30 days out today and I received my cruise docs via e-mail right on schedule. The luggage tags are blank but I can see the highlighted section (where your cabin is) and the main info page has my deck #. It's not terrible (decks 2-3 are really the only place I would truly not want to be), but not my first choice as I prefer aft and we appear to be forward. Happy to at least have some bit of info even if it's not my 1st choice location. I have a RoyalUp bid in and will look to move once the cabin is officially assigned.

I'm not a cruise ship logistics expert and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night. 🤷‍♂️ (I know you were asking in general and just happened to quote me.)

That sucks but totally understandable. I have no exciting plans in the next week but will still be rooting for a track change of course. This far inland there's never been much damage from past hurricanes (been here since 2000) but our house has existing water intrusion issues from poor construction so the heavy wind driven rain is problematic. Hoping for the best for anyone potentially affected.

Someone onboard mentioned they would be refueling in FLL.

Impossible question to answer. Too many variables & no one actually has the algorithm. Bid an amount you are comfortable paying. Past results are just anecdotal stories.

My 7 & 12-year-old nieces became quite addicted to virgin daiquiris on our family cruise a few months ago, lol. It was fun to be able to take the 12-year-old “to the bar” without actually corrupting her. One other drink kids might want to use vouchers on is the smoothies in Vitality Cafe.
