My mistake. We have early TD for our October cruise on the Eclipse. On our March Apex cruise we have reserved SD in the Cosmopolitan at 6:00 PM each night.

Yes.

Agree, when outside walking around in the ports or on the beach. Inside the ship it's nicely air conditioned in all venues. I've read on CC some say too cool. Their opinion. Speaking only for myself, I don't take my designer Levis on Caribbean cruises.

Chill out and no need to be sarcastic. Since you didn't include any of that info in your posts is why I posted what I did. I wasn't being sarcastic or unsympathetic! All the more reason for you to book your cruise early to ensure you get the preferred dining type, restaurant and time. We are on the Apex in March and have early TD, confirmed.

Being life threating how do you handle other meals while on the ship? No biggie only meaning different waitstaffs will ask and if they don't you advise them just as you would the first evening of the cruise when you first meet the waitstaff.

If you get a different waitstaff each evening you advise them of any food allergies each time. No biggie.

Another reason we always book our cruises early. Get the dining times we want and the stateroom category and location we want.

And sometimes nice towel clips.

Adventure Ocean.

CAS tier level booking benefits like balcony and suite discounts. Also any booking promos RC may be advertising at that time.

Looking at that view makes me think one Bellini to many. 🥂

Yes. Also what is being offered on RCs website. CAS tier level booking perks also, like balcony discounts.

We've never participated in the silent disco, but have stopped by. Everyone seems to be in to it on the dance floor. I play the drums and like to see the air drummers and air guitarist's jamming to their tunes.

Yes.

Welcome to CC. Our past experiences, once we transfer the booking (s) to a TA the original deposit was all that was required. If we elected to be booked in a group space booking with the TA to get additional OBC and booking discount then we had to pay additional for the full deposit. Speak with the TA concerning their specific policy. I believe you have up to a year to move a placeholder booking to a TA. Up to 30 days if it's a booked cruise.

Oh yea, been there, done it. At least the navigation didn't require using GPS. 😉

Getting to the Tuscan Grille on the Summit is a bit of an adventure.

You can also enter the men's change room from the Solarium. There's a door to the left (men's only) or the double glass doors to the right. That will get you to the women's or the men's change room (on the left) or straight to the spa and gym. Also each locker in the change room has bathrobes. I don't use the bathrobes.

Considerate only a WAG. My Magic 8 Ball says, "no".

Exactly why no one can mention the names of any big box stores that offer a TA service. You're going to have use your imagination and use google. I wouldn't refer to any cruise line as "big box".

IMO, the biggest waste of public space on the Summit is where Park West and the photo gallery is set up. Cellar Masters could also use more tables and chairs.

When you walk in the gym turn left, head straight to the front where the treadmills are. To the left the four Peloton bikes I mentioned will be located there. Also one rowing machine. BTW, the gym was never locked. When the weather was I bad (September cruise) I was always in the gym before 6:00AM. In case you're interested, there is a change room with two showers, lockers (combo locks), couple of sinks, toilets, a dry sauna and plenty of towels. In order to get to the change room turn left at the Spa sign. To get to the gym, turn right at the Spa sign.

We cruised on the Summit post revolution in 2019 and 2022 and there is an elevator(outside starboard) to get to the retreat deck and also there is an elevator (outside starboard) to get to the roof top terrace.

Only the four Peloton bikes I mentioned in my previous post that are in the same area as all the other exercise equipment, there was no charge to use them. First I've seen this with Peloton bikes and not sure if it's fleetwide.

What! I never said I didn't read others opinions, experiences, positive or negative without interest or respect their reason(s). Only that they don't count (influence) with our cruise decisions. I also participate and share useful information and also find valuable and useful information by others over the years on CC. Your assumption (especially about your wit, 😏) is wrong. Your opinion on the balcony type I selected on the Apex is one great example of why your opinion doesn't influence (count) our cruise decisions. Especially those opinions not based on actual experiences. We started cruising long before even knowing about CC.
