If I’m a betting man I would say they are going to start offering 3/4 night cruises

Sorry for jumping on this thread (Newbie ??).  If my wife wants  "Zero Proof Cocktails - Frozen / not frozen" - do those fit under the $10.00 cost of the Classic package ?  When you look on the comparison chart it does not specifically call out NA Fruity Drinks, whereas on the premium side it does ??

You won’t be.  As long as you book your rezzies as soon as you board, you will have plenty of options for days and times.  Last week on EX the only “compromise” we had to make was instead of eating at Chops at 6:45 on night #2 (formal night), we had to eat at 7:45.  Big deal.  We got all of the other dates and times we originally wanted.

Even Teppanyaki ??  That one is so intimate & popular, can't imagine it will work out.

Pay full price......get first pick

Pay reduced priect....get leftovers.

 

This has always been that way.  I'm pretty sure if you cancel on the ship, all you get is OBC.  Will it work?  Seems like a lot of hassle, just to get a time slot.  Plus in theory, you can cancel on the ship, and before it can be rebooked, someone else booked the newly opened slot, which would be funny.

Hey - I hear ya (and mostly agree)... however this is my 1st time doing a 3 night specialty and feel like I'm going to be eating at 10PM every night - was hoping for some sage advice & not getting leftovers.

Has anyone figured out a way to pre-book specialty dining in advance of being on board when you purchase the 3-night dining package? 

 Based on what I see in other posts, it looks like the 'advice' is to book the restaurants you want separately, pay full price & then have them convert to your 3 nights free when on board (thus generating credit for the full price payments)? 

Does this work - does it 'peeve' the team off when this happens? Does it work?

BTW - I only have a JRSuite, so won't have a Genie.

Yep. Again, set the app to this week's sailing, not yours.

Holy Cow, Didn't know I could do that - That is Awesome !!!  Thank you !!

Menus for all dining venues, including CK, should be available in the app - set the app to this week for the Eastern run.

Tried that, not working - can you see them on your app ?

Hi - Does anyone have, that can share dinner menus for Eastern Caribbean 7 night for Coastal Kitchen aboard Harmony of the Seas?  Trying to plan 4 specialty nights, and don't want to double book vs. a nice menu at Coastal Kitchen.  TIA

I have been on Harmony twice in the last 10 months and thought the ship looked great both cruises. 

Thank you - That's all I was hoping for.  A recent update.

I understand.....you mean that the ship is not Tired because in ship years, it is still young.  What you wanted to know if it looked, like someone forgot to  comb their hair, and put make-up on.  Furniture can look used after a year and rust on ships, makes it look like a ship.  But in 5 years, the ship will also look "dated" which is a common item also.

Thank you for helping us describe what most people had figured out without your articulation. I too love when people ask questions in a way that doesn't meet the spirit of what they really are looking to understand. Thanks for making sure we all understand what I was looking for... if it added value within the context of this feed.  Seems like most (pretty unanimously) understood what they original question sought to understand.

Good thing I have a Port Side cabin 🙂

How does a ship look tired?  Just curious

 

"Tired" (which is why it was put in quotes).. meaning worn down, poor in appearance, unkept.  I also said that Royal Caribbean usually has a very high standard for their ships.  My curiosity was in that fact that recent drydocks did not update anything "customer facing"... and after 3,4,5 years things can wear down, and lose their quality. 

Either way, I plan on having a good time. These boards are full of these types of questions (the ones that aren't super important or urgent); so I thought I would ask the group for some insight based on their own experience.

But - The photo is really funny, so let's just pretend that you truly didn't understand my question, and are just being "obtuse" with your question.

If people are thinking that the Harmony is tired looking I REALLY better re-think my end of the year cruise on the Adventure😇

I'm not thinking that, I'm asking recent cruisers the question.

From my understanding ships go in every 5 years for refreshing/updates. 

That is not totally correct.  Ships must be dry docked every 5 years or so to make sure all the technicals (engines, steel, props ect) are in "sea worthy" condition.  This happened in 2020/2021... They did not do any updates to things like cabins, public spaces, etc.

Hi Everyone - Today (40 days out to May 13th sailing)... I booked the last Junior Suite, and the last Balcony onboard the entire ship... phew,  just made it!

This cruise will make my last cruise as Diamond, as I move to Diamond Plus after this sailing!

We had sailed on Harmony in 2018 (remember Sabor where Playmakers is out back)... how it the Quality of the Ship holding up?  I mean, if there have been no major refurbishments since before then, do the cabins & showrooms/restaurants still meet high-quality Royal Caribbean standards, or does the ship look "worn"? It's last dry dock 2021 was only "technical" in nature and didn't bring any new features (such as Playmakers / Giovanni's) etc - 

Going to have fun either way, just surprised to see "nothing" has changed for several years.

Any idea of how to get a hold of Ana Riberio aboard the Odyssey before the Cruise?  I'm looking for her assistance for a very special celebration, and would love to speak with her prior to boarding ?

Hi everyone - Looking for a 1/2 day fishing trip charter for 8 total fishermen - Who have you used?  The closer to the Cruise Port in Falmouth the better, but if we have to travel, I'd prefer MoBay over Ocho Rios...

He was highly visible, we spoke to him several times, and try to attend Captain's Corner, you will certainly be able to approach him there.  He is so comic he could be a headliner!  Ana was the same way also.  The Veteran's tribute was wonderful and she had everyone weeping!  Her personal history is quite fascinating and moving as wells!

Thanks again - I was hoping to find an email for either one to make contact prior to boarding (perhaps I will start another thread) Your suggestions will work if unable to contact prior to boarding

Incorrect, we stepped off Odyssey less than 24 hrs ago, Capt Sindre Borsheim is the current master.  And in our opinion one of the best, most personable and reachable captain in the fleet...love him.  We love Cpt. Per too.

Thank you Thank you, It's a good chance that Capt Sindre Borsheim will still be the master on the Feb 19th sailing, since just taking command - Thank you all for the intel ! - Now, getting a hold of them - you mention he is one of the easiest to get a hold of ??? Any thoughts on how to do that?

Hi everyone - Can any current sailors provide me the Name of the Current Captain & Cruise Director aboard Odyssey of the Seas?  Know it's a stretch, but will they still be there in Feb 2023?  I think I read Ana Riberio is the CD and just signed on in November.

Anyway to get a hold of them - I have a request for my sailing as part of a VERY SPECIAL Occasion 

Into day 3 aboard the Inaugural Celebration from Miami…. Lots to share when I return (highs and lows)… anyone need any questions answered while I’m on board HMU

@CarnivalShips480 following as I will be on that sailing at would like to attending the naming also

@CarnivalShips480 Following   I would like to see it if possible

Well - Google is really good......  Took a photo of the chair, and it found it!  

Now that I see it Jimmy- That is exactly what I want  - Are you sure that your Cache is not buffering ?  Can you share a screen shot with a different browser - So close Man !!
