A few more numbers if anyone is curious, I heard the cut off was 1163 pts for top 30 pinnacles. One lady told me she missed it by 10 pts. Or maybe she only had 1163 but needed 1173. Here are a couple more numbers. Over 3800 pts for top.

A slightly off topic but kinda on topic. People have posted no change for D+. Well actually because there are so many pinnacles they moved the D+ cheers with a officer from day 3 to day 2. It messed up peoples booked lunches. It's usually day 3. D+ was busy moving lunch. Now I'm booked day 3 izumi lunch next 2 weeks, but also who wants to have this big steak lunch, which was fabulous by the way, here on harmony and then have bogo dinner a few hours later. So the number of pinnacles affected our cheers with a officer lunch date too. Moved the date. We had the best fillet mignon. Everyone's was perfectly cooked. All pronounced it fabulous. Way better than chops which I think has a fillet but not this round thick fillet mignon.

Lol we heard facial recognition was fixed last sunday. We were onboard about on time. Hot hot hot. 97 in roatan. Forget those winter jackets. I'm so hot. I have a picture to prove 95, but missed a picture of 97. .. but it's hot.

I havent yet applied for utopia. I have applied for the week before, bella2 on wonder, then we booked utopia. Onboard harmony so cant do anything right now. But I do have obc for wonder. The week before.

138, dec 3 and dec 10 also say same thing, no diamonds during happy hour.

Hahahaha. I'm onboard now too but only went once at 5 pm. Guard at the door. More people wearing pins than not wearing pins. I'm ok with it, since I rarely go at 5 pm. Hi george, just getting caught up, but early excursion in the morning. Next 3 weeks same it says as we posted. Click on welcome aboard tab and we knew this before we boarded.

Splitting hairs but on allure I did the cheers with a officer and the rib eye was very tough. I did it 2 out of 4 times lately. Boarding harmony and if its the same tough steak I wouldnt bother, I'll leave. Pinnacles got the fillet so it's not the same cheers with a officer.

If the price was right I'd book mardi gras. The week I was on vista I did pay restaurants and got around the Mdr dinners. Supposedly they have now improved dinners lately. I do like their pizza better and guys burgers. I like I can order surf n turf in their steak restaurant without paying extra. I booked dream in January for the more unusual ports. I didnt say food was the only reason for booking. Aruba curacao columbia costa rico and panama and now docking in panama is up in the air due to the protests. 2 died. Several ships lately skipped. Celebrity and carnival I'm aware of. Waiting to hear. Getting close.

Lol that's what I said, just move and it's possible... now I'm planning a move and prices are making me say ... maybe not. Prices are much higher than even pre covid. .. imo. After harmony I'll still need close to 200 .. I dont think "just 200". .. I think 200 will take forever at these prices.

Make sure before you cruise YOU are booked in the JS is what they are saying. Whomever is booked in the JS gets the extra loyalty pt.

Yes click on the banner where it says welcome aboard. .. I posted a picture of the banner and what it said a week maybe ago. Lower half above the buttons at the bottom. Very few high loyalty last week. 19 pinns and few D+. Seems odd to me they say for the next 3 weeks the access is cut, and top 30 pinns. I'll be wanting to know how many each week coming up for them to do this. Imo not very high numbers. Ok took another picture .. though my check in has checked out, cant do safety briefing . Many said they didnt know where it says welcome aboard was a link to info. ..

I could be wrong, but I think now it's a smallish paper bag. I might find out on harmony. I did bring 3 weeks of unders but who knows.

Voyager is scheduled past fall 2025 in europe. I doubt she will return in 2025. Idk 2026. My friends have her booked b2b oct 2025, so she wouldn't be back in 2025. When were you hoping for?

Yes carnival you upgrade before your cruise, royal you upgrade after your cruise,.. simply put. Easy for me to remember. I'm turning diamond next on carnival. So I'm diamond (200 pts) when I board. I'm at 197 pts. It's a 14 day. For sure I hit diamond. I had some dinners on carnival I couldn't eat and switched back to rcl. I switch back and forth. Food mostly.

Well I just made it worse. Cruises seem to be like potato chips cant stop. I added the next leg, 10 days Mediterranean to greece ends in rome. So now I have to fly home from rome. Never saw athens and thought no time like the present. Yes maybe a TA in the fall from rome I can find idk. I'm not getting younger. Didnt feel comfortable while my parents were alive going very far. Suddenly I can.

Well my upcoming harmony only the top 30 get to eat in ck. So cross that one off. I'll never be top 30 unless only 29 onboard lol. All 3 say top 30. Already posted before I even board. Still would love free wifi.

For me included free wifi is the one I want. Personally I think royal perks are better. I enjoy my free drinks as D+ and 2 days, just want more wifi lol. I'm on carnival in January and will miss those free perks. Sorry but I do like them.

Prices arent out for may 2025, but I'll look and hopefully not faint. It's a TA there, so no ta to get home. I have to fly, either from Barcelona or add the 2nd leg to see greece and fly home from rome. 2nd leg isnt a deal imo but I'm already on the same ship. That's probably a good idea to do a fake booking flight from rome to orlando may 2024 .. since I cant see may 2025. Yea im retired. Mom died in January which is why I was here in dallas. Promised myself for 20 + years once I could I'd go further. Now I'm old lol. Scary solo.

Just for comparison .. even during this sale, side by side. Mariner first screen, then harmony where I think even lunch is $2 more. 209 for unlimited on may 6 mariner is excellent lately, specialty dining for lunch sea days and dinners. Best I've seen lately.

Every rcl cruise has dynamic prices, meaning they change. Right now many items are on black friday sale but perhaps by the time you book the black friday sale will be gone. Also harmony costs more than the other royal ships out of Galveston. Lunches are on sale 40% off black friday. Harmony Jamie's 14.99 pp plus 18%, mariner 12.99 plus 18%. So the ship matters. I wait all year for this sale to buy excursions. I'm gagging over carnivals prices for excursions. I'm on carnival next jan and nothing in planner on sale. I purchased maybe 5 for 30% off for rcl, 1 for 25% off. Also once you hit diamond on rcl you get 4 free drinks a day and a day of wifi free I dont get elsewhere. I'm going to really miss my free drinks and wifi on carnival. They have awful perks. It's not apples to apples imo to take a fluctuating price and compare to a static price. It's no secret royal has the best perks of any line.

Oh no and I dont think prices are dropping. I booked the TA from PC to Barcelona and then was looking and the b2b leg goes to greece and italy. I'll already be there, finally just told TA to add the b2b and see the Coliseum. I feel like I'm losing my mind as these prices just seem to be adding up. I promised myself when I got to florida I could book more but didnt anticipate prices going up so fast. If I'm already over there, it kinda makes sense to see greece. Dont care about italy but ends there. Yikes. Well that's probably not good news. If you were already over there would you add the 2nd leg to greece and italy? Knowing how much you spent to fly home? I sure picked the wrong time to move and cruise more.. not like I choose the time though.

Off subject, sorry. Speaking of flying I see you are in italy. I'm in the process of a b2b ends in rome italy end of may 2025. Do you happen to have a idea what a flight costs from rome to florida? Am I going to be in shock?

Yes my TA can book the shuttle for me.

Lol well there are people who want special treatment .. can I get it early? If I ask nice. .. just kidding. Agree.

I think that's why he is asking now about adventure as each ship is different. I had to use for only night 1 and night 2 on allure. OP I too have adventure booked so I too am curious about adventure.
