Does anyone know if we can add another couple to our dinner reservation if the other couple is a couple weeks ahead of when they can start booking? We are traveling with another couple and our room difference isn’t that big, but the date allowing us to make dinner reservations is Is the specialty dining an additional charge?

On the Apex recently they had signs at the entrance of several restaurants with their dress codes, all the ones with signs all said no hats. I would think visor qualifies as a hat. And it was enforced with us as well.

Different opinions. I think kids need rules for sure, but some independence and a safety net when they inevitably make some poor decisions. Outside of the couple times we got a 2BR suite we had separate rooms when they were teens/adults, and they have turned out pretty great. They got into way more trouble at home than on cruises!

Several years ago or then probably 16 or 17-year-old snuck out of his room after he was back for curfew. He and some friends were hanging out on the stairs talking, and security came, got their room numbers, sent them back home, and we got a letter the next morning telling us what happened and to make sure our kids stay in after 1 AM. I think it really varies by ship. Other times I know our kids have been out getting pizza at Sorrento‘s and no one ever said anything. Before anyone slams me for being a bad parent, we all agreed that they would be in by 1 AM, and I only found out about these things after the fact. I don’t share a room with my teen kids and I don’t check on them multiple times after 1 AM.

Thanks everyone! I think will take our chances in the Retreat. It seems like we usually change seats several times during the day anyway chasing sun or shade.

I am trying to decide the same thing for our group of 4. We are in suites but wondering if it will be hard to find 4 loungers near each other for a sea day. I was wondering if I could reserve it pre-cruise for the last day and cancel and get our ship credit back when we board if the retreat has good availability on the first couple days.
