I always get the carbonara, usually with the filet but you'll tell us. In the past I've also asked for the fried calamari from the the lunch menu as an app and it hasn't been a problem (much better than what you posted from Fish N Ships no doubt). Cannolis sometimes wind up as a to-go dessert after all that. Giovanni's has always been the one specialty restaurant we pay for when it's available. As a frugal cruiser, we used to always eat there on night one when RC had the "first night done right" BOGO promo.

Not a bourbon drinker but I'll try anything once, especially when it's free. Looks/sounds good.

You can on Harmony. Until I found the extra latch/deadbolt to double lock it, my young nieces were just letting themselves into our cabin via the balcony, lol. Our family had 3 suites in a row and had the balcony dividers opened.

You now have to enter your CC when you make a bid so don't worry about that part.

You should be able to find pictures and videos of every type of suite. Just make sure to use the full, correct name when googling or searching on YouTube.

See above answer. As I thought, you meant 1 bedroom grand suite.

I just stayed in a 1 bedroom Grand Suite with my in-laws in an Owner's Suite next door. Perhaps what you're calling a "1 bedroom suite" is a Grand Suite?

Regular sea pass card.

I'll be racing Freedom there twice while on Indy next month, twice. Same arrival times.

I believe you, but totally different experience for us on 5/30. Our group of 8 from 3 separate cabins just arrived at the check-in area and were escorted to our OTW cabana. The wrist bands were hanging from a hook and our attendant just told us to put one on if we were going to leave the cabana area so we would be allowed re-entry. I didn't go anywhere and never even put one on.

Burger looked good (but I won't be turning down a 2nd patty, lol). Penciling it in for dinner one night.

Ditto!

Just checked your signature to see if it was the September cruise I was looking at but it's not. It's not actually worth it to go out of our way to cruise extra just to get to D+ sooner but it's hard not to play with the numbers once you know you're getting close, lol. I think I'm also subconsciously keeping my mind busy while we await our official GTY assignments and RoyalUp bids for Indy next month.

Yes.

Nice. We're currently toying with the idea of figuring out how/when to book 11 nights before the June 2023 family suite cruise. We would land on exactly 175 points afterwards that way. There's a very inexpensive Harmony cruise in September that happens to fall over my birthday and my wife would only have to take off 4 days from work (she has so many days saved up it doesn't really matter though). Then we'd just find a 4-nighter at some point.
