It's an 8-day, 7-night cruise.

Looked good to me. Minor signs of wear and tear in our cabins (we switched during the B2B) but nothing I would care about (I'm not picky and the cabin itself isn't very important to me). The rest of ship was fine and we hadn't been on anything but Oasis class in quite a while (save one Alaska cruise in 2018 where the ship wasn't important to us).

Add your set sail pass to your Apple wallet or scan the bar code if an Android user. Numbers should appear under the bar code. The numbers to the right of the dash represent your cabin. In some cases you'll see "GTY" but most of the time you will see your cabin assignment.

Yes but you have limited options for the 1st 4 as you have to use them in by breakfast. We used ours for some iced coffee drinks and some extra bottled water from Cafe Promenade for the 2nd half of the B2B. You could try getting mimosas or something from the WJ bar or the MDR during breakfast.

No worries. Happy to help! Possibly hopping back on Indy in October myself for either a 4-nighter or another B2B 3 & 4 like we did last month.

Agents? PC has facial recognition. If you used a passport you don't need to see an agent. You just scan your face at a kiosk and go right through.

It has its own parking garage.

That video was before Mariner (the 3rd ship at PC that has since been moved to exclusively using terminal 5). Indy and Harmony now share terminal 1. Been on both Harmony and Indy recently; parking and check-in was a breeze both times. Ignore the video, it's outdated.

Yes, in the US you can request to change to any available cabin in your EXACT category. Some have posted they may not let you but I've never had a problem. You also don't need a reason to request a switch. I got a GTY on deck 6 last month and had my TA move us to deck 10 just b/c we prefer higher decks. There was nothing wrong with our deck 6 cabin, we would have been fine with it.

They e-mail you a PDF file. My proctor stayed on the video chat to make sure I received it and that the info was correct. Nothing to be nervous about.

Inappropriate? No, do whatever you're most comfortable with.

Plastic-ish biodegradable straws on both Harmony and Indy over the past few months have been great for frozen drinks.

You can book it any way you want. If the prices are available, you will see them on the RC site once the sale actually starts.

This. HUGE HUGE difference b/t JS and full perks for GS and above.

Yes. Used that exact type that had recently expired myself last month.

Agree. We had dinner at Sabor on Harmony 5/29. Booked ahead of time for 15% off or whatever so it was even more reasonable. Our family of 8 reordered apps for the table about 5 times. The guac is always good too. Didn't love the entrees tbh but the churros and chocolate banana chimichangas for dessert were also a big hit. The jalapeno margarita was good too; didn't except actual sliced jalapeno floating in it but if you like spicy...

Minors can absolutely use their 4 vouchers on anything non-alcoholic. My 8 and 12-year-old nieces became addicted to virgin daiquiris on a recent family cruise. They can also be used for bottled water, fresh squeezed OJ, coffee drinks, smoothies in the vitality cafe, etc.

After not getting a compass on night one on Indy last month, we asked our cabin steward to leave one each night and he did after that.

Great, something else to look forward to.

In my defense, I tailgated a crew member into the SL who was bringing the breakfast cart and politely told him about the situation. And of course I didn't stick around after getting my coffee so as not to disturb the huge gathering of 3-4 people who rightly belonged there. Watching soccer at least. Just a big fan. Haven't actually played since high school. If I tried to do anything athletic right now I'd surely injure myself (unless competitive eating during a cruise counts).

Some of us may or may not have recently done the reverse one morning even though we were neither in a suite or Pinnacle. 🤐

It’s a slightly altered Long Island. It has midori & sprite & a funky green color.

That's why we always bring gallon ziplocs to keep our "room cookies" fresh. I'm a bit older than your son, lol, and I usually start out grabbing a half dozen or so on day one and replenishing them throughout the cruise. Hope you find him some ranger cookies.

On Indy last month I want to say that the bar was open immediately but the food may not be available for a little bit. The bar and kitchen have slightly different hours. Big fan of "The Pitch" as well as their burgers and garlic parm fries btw.
