On the Casino Royal offer site, select certificate offer look up from the menu and type 24TIER3. This is the listing for Prime.

Pepsi drinker here but I can tolerate Coke only in a can. Always got the Refreshment package. On Adventure in July went to the pool bar and was shown a brochure that fountain soda is included not cans. Returned to my lounger and asked the first server I saw for a can of Coke and a cup of ice and it wasn’t a problem.

Don’t know about Allure, but Oasis had roulette, blackjack, and 3 card poker.

We did our first OV on Adventure (2240) in July and loved it. We didn’t experience rough seas so can’t say whether that would have made a difference. It was also our first time in the front of the ship and the less crowded elevators was a major plus. This was a B2B and the second week we were midship and the elevators were more crowded. We are doing an OV on Anthem in March.

Definitely Coco Cay. Been there 3 times, once at the beach club (which I would do again at the right price). Was supposed to go again 2 weeks ago, but Anthem rerouted to Labadee and I looked forward to going there. The beach area was nice, give me a lounger and umbrella and I’m in my happy place. The only thing that I didn’t like was it seemed like everyone had their hand out for a tip. I am certainly not against tipping, and I understand it is their livelihood, but it almost seemed forced. Just my opinion. Didn’t have any interactions with the vendors, stayed far away from them.

Did the Beach Club in April ($79pp last Black Friday sale). You get a cushioned lounger with a small flag to put up when you need bar service, a nicer beach towel, a separate swimming pool and a delicious lunch. I would do it again but only for what I paid or less.

Glad I saw your post. My 6 Nov cruise had check in starting 29 Sept a few days ago. Went to the app and was able to check in and secure an early time. Thank you.

A few years back, went to an all inclusive and searched for reef safe sunscreen Found online and ordered (can’t remember the brand). First day on the beach I went to apply and it was a very thick white goop that was in no way going to be rubbed in. Went to the gift shop to see what they offered and it was basically every brand that I could have bought at home, including aerosol sprays.

I consider myself a moderate gambler. In April on Anthem, held my own during the week and ended up 56 points shy for prime. In July on a B2B on Symphony took a beating the first week and only accumulated about 700 points. Week 2 started off better and after 3 days was at 800 points, then went into quarantine. I mostly play the tables with a few slots thrown in. It could happen but then again it might not. But that’s gambling.

On my Symphony cruise in July, I mentioned to the head waiter on the first night, that I do enjoy the crab cake and they should have it on the menu every night. Every night after that I had a crab cake brought to me. All had chunks of crab. Wasn’t a Maryland style, but still good. Kudos to the MDR wait and kitchen staff for going above and beyond.

We sailed out of Miami. It was the paper explaining what to expect while in quarantine (general care, meal & beverage service, housekeeping, etc).

On Symphony I made the reservations on the app but only had to give the room number to the person checking people in at the venue. Except at the comedy show they said I didn’t have a reservation and I showed it listed on my calendar and they let us right in.

I was quarantined on Symphony (7/23-30) day 3 of our second leg of a B2B. According to the paperwork that I received when I was relocated to deck 3, it clearly says “Please know that we will be providing all quarenetines guests and their travelling party with a prorated refund of your cruise fare based on your time spent in quarantine and cruise time lost. This refund will be issued to your original form(s) of payment”. Before everyone jumps on the new member, one and done, yes I just subscribed but I’ve been in lurk mode long enough to know what’s coming my way.
