2 weeks ago on Harmony they had Strawfish plastic biodegradable straws -
$100 Non Refundable a Deal Breaker For Me
dcgrumpy replied to cruzsnooze's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Exactly. My $1350 balcony was up to $2500 when the final payment date rolled around. -
Do ships routinely dock backwards?
dcgrumpy replied to FloridaGram's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Port side doesn't really mean a view of the port. we were in a starboard room 2 weeks ago. We backed in twice and went front in once. But each time we had a view of the port. -
Deluxe Beverage Package On Board
dcgrumpy replied to hazeleyes46's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My Mariner cruise this summer is still BOGO50 with the Memorial Day sale, I wish it was 35%. -
Yep, we had absolutes no issues on Harmony last week. We were seated within 5 minutes of arriving every day. I was prepared for the worst since since the ship had the highest passenger count since relaunch. But was pleasantly surprised.

I think last week on Harmony was the first time that I've attended Love and Marriage and there wasn't a bra size, or in-law question. LOL

Scarlet Lady May 13 - 18, 2022 on board review
dcgrumpy replied to thrifty99's topic in Virgin Voyages
From what I recall yes, initially guests were supposed to wait and get their own food and then it was changed due to Covid so that guests weren't lined up waiting together. Of course my memory may be incorrect. LOL We never had to wait long in the Galley. But we sailed at 18%, so it's hard to compare it what it will be like at fill capacity. -
We sailed on Mardi Gras in October and I loved that feature. We would get read and go into the app as we left the room. By the time we got to the MDR our table was ready. We didn't encounter any long lines on Harmony last week. I normally don't make reservations beforehand because I want flexibility. For Harmony I made reservations every night because I had read how bad the lines. We were pleasantly surprised. We were seated within 5 minutes every night and were able to change times a couple of nights. Even the line for people with no reservations was pretty short. I don't think I ever saw more than 10 people waiting. I'm crossing my fingers for our upcoming Mariner cruise.

Deluxe Beverage Package On Board
dcgrumpy replied to hazeleyes46's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Last week onboard Harmony it was $98, there was a BOGO 1/2 off. Which was 50 cents a day cheaper than what I had paid 2 weeks pre-cruise. I would purchase ASAP if you know you want it. I waited and the price ended up increasing by about $10 per day. And as I give that advice I still haven't purchased mine for my Mariner cruise in July. LOL -
7-7:30

I had MTD on Harmony last week. We had made reservations for every night before boarding. I was able to change the time on a couple of reservations after boarding.We ended up at the same table every night but one. Lines weren't bad at all. We were seated within 5 minutes every night. The line for people without reservations was very short every night. I've read horror stories about long lines but we lucked out.

Unfortunately, no. -
Not receiving Royal Up offers
dcgrumpy replied to luckybecky's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Not really sure. Can't be bothered with extra paperwork? They'd get extra commission from people that successfully bid. So they'd get a little extra money. -

Some big box TA's, like C##### don't participate in Royal Up. -
Guest Staying in other Room than assigned
dcgrumpy replied to Gerbilicous's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The assumption is it has to do with access to pediatric care if necessary. -
Guest Staying in other Room than assigned
dcgrumpy replied to Gerbilicous's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For many cruises out of Bayonne Coco Cay is the last stop, followed by 2 sea days. -

dcgrumpy replied to Gerbilicous's topic in Royal Caribbean International
So is St Kitts. I'm sailing on Harmony next week, we stop in St Kitts followed by 2 sea days. A number of people had to cancel because they had children under 1. -
Cococay - First day or last day?
dcgrumpy replied to rbschultz's topic in Royal Caribbean International
First day. I prefer the last day to be a sea day. But it's not a deal breaker. -
RoyalUP? (Bid for stateroom upgrade)
dcgrumpy replied to John&LaLa's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I think it varies by cruise. Not sure if there is any rhyme or rearson. For my cruise next week I was able to bid at 90 days out. I'm 80 days out from another cruise and so far I'm still getting the 30 days, message. -
RoyalUP? (Bid for stateroom upgrade)
dcgrumpy replied to John&LaLa's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Interesting. According to their website the rule is waived for underage married couples. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/international-age-policy "No Guest younger than the age twenty-one (21) will be assigned to a stateroom unless accompanied in the same stateroom by an adult twenty-one (21) years old or older. A guest's age is established upon the first date of sailing. This age limit will be waived for children sailing with their parents or guardians in connecting staterooms; for underage married couples; and for active duty members of the United States or Canadian military." -
Help deciding to bid on Royal Up
dcgrumpy replied to Cruisebride2006's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Are your kids under 21? If so, they have to be next door or across the hall from you. You would need to put one adult on that reservation in order to keep it. So only one adult would get Suite benefits. -
Why can't I find this on my reservation?
dcgrumpy replied to sadiwest's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You can try doing a mock booking. Or check the original confirmation, if you received one.
