Or on turnaround day. It's a tourist guide to rome. With pull out maps. I tried to read it and too much for me. I just dont think I'm a big planner type. I booked stuff in rome and crossing my fingers and toes it goes off without a hitch. Wouldnt be the first time in my life my planning wasnt perfect. But for me to spend hours pouring over plans and maps feels like work to me. If all else fails I'll call a taxi. I'm more of a let's wing it type. But I could being it to the conference room on turn around day. Next sunday they changed the meeting place. Just that particular guide to doing rome is marked like that from what I can see. And here I am doing rome, but man that book had just too too much stuff to read. A vacation is supposed to be fun not work.

I read on some thread that icon has a bigger food budget than other cruises. It's still doing a seafood buffet the day you board with lobster and shrimp. Idk f it was ken or who said they talked to someone who confirmed a bigger food budget. Like for fruit there were a lot of berries to choose from added to the standard fare.

I guess I like it kind of warm. I took pictures of the new chairs. I'm sure you too have seen comments on this thread about zip ties that were cut to allow the chair to go back more. I didnt cut these. They are angled back. Not what I had on oasis, I think I I had one of ewch a upright and one like this. Now all are like this. I took a picture showing the angle and a close up of the zip tie that keeps it from the position being changed. Though idk if there are other slots. But I've always had at least one upright chair. These are half and half. Not upright and not loungers.

Joke or for real. In the card room where there are library books, a book on rome has a tag saying if you steal this book and take it off the ship a alarm might go off. A couple of pinnacle couples saw it and said it's someone putting on tags as a joke, not real. She said she has been on many cruises and never saw other tags like this tourist book on rome. Any possibility it's real and royal put the tag on or someone doing as a joke.

This is my first oasis class since last December. I had read people posting about zip ties and think I know what they mean. All the balconys now have these chairs that arent straight backed, they lean. I want a straight back chair to read in. These offer my back no support and yes both have those zip ties so they cant go further back. They also cant sit straight up and down. Every balcony has these. I am obviously not a fan. I want to sit and read a book with my back supported. Up until now I was a oasis class fan, but I've now changed my mind. There is no place to sit and read where I can sit in a regular chair and see the ocean. I'm glad I have adventure b2b for xmas. I dont like these new balcony chairs that the back leans back and no back support. Just awkward imo. I have 2.0 and 3.0 booked but I wouldn't be unhappy to do a smaller ship. I'm almost debating oasis (3.0 and 3.5) after harmony. This one day I'm so hot and the next I'm freezing ...I know people say typical texas isnt helping but I hate my balcony chairs.

Dont hate on me but for me this week I'm either too hot or too cold. Florida I left 88 or 89 highs. Last 2 weeks I was fine. Last sunday it was 70 in Galveston and I didnt pack anything warm. So I bought a top and bottom fleece. Others also were caught and cold. So they must have turned off the ac. The WJ that night was a sauna. Little kids screaming and felt like 90. Went down to casino later that night and also like a sauna so hot as it too was packed with bodies and no ac. Then the next night I promised this one lady who is all that showed up to Mdr I'd come. I was so cold i was shivering. I shivered for 20 minutes in a light weight dresserier top and then my stomach started too and I couldn't eat. I said sorry but i need to go get my fleece. Night 2 is dress up night but I kept her company. I keep my condo 82 to 84. I'd guess it was 75 or 76 in the Mdr. I really was shivering, my stomach still hurt the next day. I talked to another couple who flew in from SC and he bought a light weight kinda wind breaker in the logo store that looks nice I think looks better than fleece. He pointed to his wife and says she bought one of those $10 shawls she was wearing. They too were freezing. This was in the crown lounge. Last night I'm freezing again. Costa maya wifi out all over the area. So I'm told, so phone service didnt work. Last stop is today cozumel. My tablet takes such poor pictures idk if you can tell but its pouring and foggy. I have my cabin ac turned off, it's still cold in here imo. Maybe I'm just old but my body isnt adapting to these constant texas changes. I now gotta get a whole bulky outfit, top and bottoms home, I bought the pants too. Others besides me I overheard say the ship is having trouble adapting to suddenly cooler weather. Idk if you can see how hard it's raining here in cozumel. I took a picture of the carnival ship that maybe shows it's also kinda foggy. I know my picture taking stinks. But it's raining hard here. I dont care for me, but too bad for families. My suitcase will be brimming over. I also got a crystal block. I gave away all my champagne but will have another bottle next week if you want. Flying so cant the champagne home. I'd give away the block if my arm was twisted a bit. My suitcase will be FULL. Looking forward to seeing you next week.

I just booked 2025 and feeling shocked. I watched about 9 days and every day the price was up about $10. I could book star first what the want for a balcony on radiance at the end of the season, and then looked at excursions and still feeling shock. If 2025 are a deal, I must be missing something. Ov price on end of season radiance is up $150 on a ov in the last 2 weeks. No way I'm booking a balcony at that price. Asking over $3500 for a balcony. I guess 2025 is just a reflection of what's hit in 2026 before the higher prices hit 2026.. I think 2025 is high right now.

Yes diamond coupons are anywhere anytime except the robot drink maker. Pesky parrot too has some robotic thing it's not good at. Have to use a real bar tender. One lobster free, but you can order a steak or something else free. I order 2 appetizers, dont think I've ordered more but I guess you can.

I went out of terminal 5 on adventure last month and it's like a separate entrance off a main road. Not close imo. I used uber, I didn't drive, but each terminal is far. Terminal 1 is like on another road to me. Really far. It's not like the terminals are lined up like miami.

Consider yourselves lucky. I booked nignt 1 and 4 on allure and without notifying me changed my night 4 to late night 2. They seem to have forgotten about sending notices to cabins when they change time or dates or Mdr tables. I talked to them onboard this week and asked why someone else could book wonderland but I was told no. They said just depends which restaurants book up more. Each week they decide. I'm tired of the uncertainty.

Enjoy. I didnt know you were going. Have a great time.

I would ask, and tell them you need hc boarding which will also get you on sooner. I've asked when I was with my sister who has balance issues. Just explain to them.

Are they out of terminals nearby? I have heard they sometimes will doesnt hurt to ask, worse comes to worse do uber. Confused by your carry on drinks. Its 1 bottle of wine PER ADULT. On the soda or non alcoholic its 12 PER CABIN. If you are solo the answer is yes.

Wow looks amazing.

Idk I am clicking deck 4 to see them. Before deck 5 couldn't find them so I just now click main dining room then deck 4. I could take a picture to show. So click main dining... then click on the menu, then the night is working now for me. Nignt 8 showing...
