I am hungry.  Where are my food pictures?  Hope all is ok?

If it is a medical emergency, I wish the person and their family well.  

I love your reviews.  We are going on Oasis in Nov 2023 for our sixth time.  I love this ship.  Enjoyed your pictures of the doors.  

It's 1 package with 2 devices

Most likely that was an excuse anyway.  I would not have felt bad for her.  If she had number 5 and they were now on 28???? 

I have so enjoyed your live from Oasis.  I was not sure about sailing on her in 2023.  We have sailed her 5 times before but you have made up our minds.  Thank you.

Why can't someone just ask a question without someone having to make a mockery of?

 

I don't feel twangster or brillohead were mocking.  In fact, I learned a lot about vegan vs vegetarian from their posts.  Did not realize so much was involved.  So I agree the OP needs to clarify what they are willing to accept when asking this question.  If it is just lard, then they need to say that.   

There are 7 spots left for otw cabanas at the beach club for 2199 for my Nov cruise on Odyssey.   So some people are paying the price.  When I first booked this cruise they were going for $1200.  almost double.  crazy

Contact them at @royalcaribbean on Twitter or Post on their FB page.  They generally are very responsive to these kind of situations.

I second this approach.  Sorry people did not read your original post.  If I bid on a particular cabin then I would be upset if they gave me something else.  If you do not get any satisfaction, then when you board I would ask at guest services if they have any ocean view cabins available.   Too bad you don't know anyone in one of those rooms - your could switch.  But please whatever happens, enjoy your cruise.  Don't let this spoil it for you and your family.

Hi everyone

yesterday I book a cruise and I selected suite guarantee. In the guess copy it says GTY but no mention of a suite,

 

Online is sys GTY but on the app it shows that I have an interior room with muster station showing.

 

sailing is in 2 months , should I be concerned? 

Please let us know how you made out

If you're wanting family conversation, perhaps ear plugs aren't the best choice. 🤔 Just sayin'.😁

Funny.  

My cruise this November on Odyssey still have many cabanas available.  They range from $999 to 2199 (over the water as CocoCay Beach club) 

Never stayed in a boardwalk cabin but from what others have said it is a bit noisy.  Your balcony is definitely not "private" as those across the way can see in.  Also can be see from the boardwalk.  But your balcony is a great place to people watch.  Cruise mapper shows it has an obstructed view?  Don't know if this is still a "perk" 

Passengers booked in Boardwalk Balcony cabins receive as bonus perks (complimentary amenities) the "EAT-DRINK-PLAY" exclusive package, which includes:

• 1 free meal (for 4 pax) at "Johnny Rockets"
• 1 free "Royal Refreshment" drink package (for 2 pax)
• 1 "Rock Climbing Wall" exclusive session (for the whole family)

The picture reminds of how it was pre-covid.  You checked-in and then took a seat.  Remember there was sections for diamond+, diamond, etc. Then when they were ready to board they took you in by rows.  Actually if people did follow their check-in times there would not be long lines outside.  And inside at least you are sitting down.

It would be wise to call to verify exactly what type of gty you have.

wow. It's all I can say.

 

My DS loved Labadee on his very first cruise at 3 and on his latest cruise at 11 (this June). Didn't melt down or announced that the burger was disgusting and he wanted to go to summer camp instead of cruising. He even loved the Costa Maya pier walk...

Children develop many of their attitudes from their parents.  I am so glad he loves Labadee.

Reason  #55 for not booking cruises through RC..

My TA had the same problem when putting in my husband's C&A number so it is not just when booking direct.

That doesn't seem right. We are only Diamond, but will be in a suite on Harmony later this year. I would like to know who to speak to if this happens, because we will not be happy campers either if we're in the suite lounge during Happy Hour and they use our vouchers. Did you speak to the Concierge?

I agree.  If I were in a suite and they used a voucher during happy hour, I would have spoken to someone to get it corrected.  Assume concierge would be the person.  No wonder why people are confused about these issues.  You tell someone that it is "free" during happy hour then they get charged and just figure you were wrong in your answer.  My husband can easily go use up his 5 drink vouchers  plus happy hour drinks.  Me - not so much.  

Mine is also missing. Only 3 showing for my Odyssey cruise also.  I am sure they will fix it soon

What is the problem with going to the restaurant?

 

Kind of a hassle to pack all that stuff up togo.

 

Do you really want to sit on your bed and eat Sushi?

 

Obviously the OP does want to sit on the balcony and eat Sushi.  Nothing wrong with that.  

Do they still have the boat that takes you to Columbus Cove?  If I had young children I would just want to take them to the closest beach. Burgers - guess they are not from McDonalds!!!

I never noticed, but from the cruise planner for an upcoming cruise on Explorer and Harmony:

 

• The following are not included in photo packages: Photos of others in your party not traveling in your stateroom; Group, Wedding, Quinces, Private Studio photography and other special occasion photography; Specialty Dining photography; generic photos of the ship, characters, ports of call, etc.; any special printing or retouching requests.

So what is included.  from this description, what is left?  We always used to get pictures taken when we got off the ship - is that now considered a port of call picture?  Characters?  they also included a generic photo of the ship in our packages.  Guess I will now cancel my package.  Not worth it since we are eating in speciality restaurants every evening.  Thank you for posting this.

That's a curious one ..... are you supposed to take a picture of your test result with your phone??? I don't think they want you bringing the physical test strip with you. Or maybe they do ...... 🤔

From the website  "you can show a picture of your negative home test on your phone, or present the actual negative test itself."

Funny - That is exactly what my husand would have commented.  You think I would learn to be more specific.  No the ear plugs are for when I am sitting on the deck or on Coco Cay.  Someone said the music is loud everywhere so I thought this would be a good thing to pack in case.  

I read many  complaints about the music on the ships and Coco Cay.  The complaints are coming from all age groups.  Ear plugs are high on my packing list now.  A family vacation should give people time to talk to one another - not yell or just give up because it is too difficult to converse.
