Similar situation and question - so there will be no impact if one person (the no show) doesn't have a green check? I can show up with my green check and board with no problem? I have a room booked for 2 people, but really don't have a second occupant at this time, and it might not get filled. In theory, there might not be a second person to check-in.

Did you use a booking code? Maybe it was included somewhere in the fine print and you just didn't see it??

I was on Magic June 10th and was able to get it. We got it late at night - like around 11p or later. It did take about an hour to get it, but that's the price you pay! (also, $6 dollars + tip). It was hot though, so no issues there.

Oh man, maybe I'm glad I'm not getting offers, some of those look very enticing and hard to pass up, I'd be tempted to try and sneak another one in, against my better judgment - not to mention VAC days 🤣🤣🤣!

First time Prime this year, and had offers before the year reset, now nothing! What a bummer lol.

We were getting offers almost weekly. We booked our Prime certificate for October, back in April, right after they were issued, and then our offers seemed to drop off right after that. I was hoping it was because we didn't have any points for the new cycle, but it sounds like that isn't the case, what a bummer! I guess we'll throw some money at the casino in October and hope for the best! In reality, it's not like I have the schedule to squeeze any of the offers in right now anyway, but it was comforting knowing the offers where there lol.

Pretty sure it just has to be booked by that date, but the sail date can be after.

Glory was my first and favorite ship. I'll never forger her. 🥰 But yes, I've mixed up Sunshine and Sunrise a time or two, and even Magic, because I was ready for Norfolk to resume cruises with Sunshine, and had that in my head for a while.

Yes, the GF got the "free" massage as well lol, the lady pretty much did not take no for an answer and just sat down and started doing her thing to give a "sample." I wasn't prepared for how handsy those beach massages are! In any event, she did one leg and then said she'd do the other for $40. Not saying it was a bad offer, but we had like 5 bucks cash at the time, which we gave her. In our defense, we tried to say no! Lol.

Curious if people with new offers have accumulated points since April 1st, when everything reset? I was getting offers up until right after that. Hoping when we cruise in October and get some points, we'll start getting offers again.

We did slides on Symphony and Oasis - most fun after a few cocktails!

Darn! I haven't seen any offers for a while, and I was hoping it was due to this!

Great review! I was on Symphony last October, and pretty much spot on review. (Except I really liked those onion rings at Playmakers! I really liked all the apps we got there!) The beach as St. Maarten though! I did end up buying a hat, but, man, just let me relax! I know, it is income for them, but it was so constant. I will say I had the Voom Surf and Stream, and found it to be decent, one of the better experience I've had with ship wi-fi.

Yes, same for me, and I was very suspicious lol. So I called Carnival to confirm, and they said yes, included everywhere on board with this offer. Booked and interior for $100pp and $200 OBC, couldn't pass that up!

I think this is determined by your spending habits. GF for same offer as me, except my OCB is $100 and hers is $500. She pent way more than me though on our last sailing.

Similarly priced, I'd probably do the Premier offer. I haven't done one yet, but just kind of want to to see what it's like. That's just me though.

Not sure how much insulating those insulated cups did for me anyway. As long as I can get the machine to work, I'm good.

I did both, VeriFly and brought everything, so not sure if it made a difference. I'd probably do VeriFly because it really want a hassle, and went not.

Just want to say, if you click the terms link for FJ1, it's actually free drinks everywhere on board, at least for me. This was enough for me to grab one of those!

Curious for the results!

Yes, you can book was many as you have different codes. Kind of mad my offers box had been dry for the last month or so...😡

Me as well! I may poke you for some questions too, if they end up no showing. Wondering how much of a wrench it throws in to check-in and boarding, and things like that. I may end up in the exact situation on a cruise in February, where my partner and I each have a room booked in our name, and were going to bring a couple who now appears they "can't make it."

I would take the Horizon over the Magic without a doubt, but I like the ports on the Magic better. Aruba is one of my favorite ports ever, with Grand Turk pretty up there. Really like Curacao, but the excursion I did there wasn't my favorite, mostly because I wanted to do some snorkeling, but spent a lot of time on a bus and the sun was setting by the time we got to the beach. Amber Cove and La Romana have probably been my least favorite ports, but personally I prefer a nice pretty beach. Excited to go to Bonaire in 2024, but haven't been there yet!

My BoA card is my Royal Caribbean card... Wonder if it's even worth checking 😂😂😂

I agree, I did this a few times, throw an afternoon nap in there and I was at 15 without even a buzz. But I can see why they limit. Had to budget better lol. The GF was in the casino till about 3am, and yeah, it was all the same day. Didn't know what the cutoff was, but sounds like 6am.
