  1. Any mention of the suite lounge is disappearing from all documents.
  2. So many factors. Using a non-bank ATM will likely get you a bad or forced exchange rate. If you are going to use a foreign ATM, use a bank ATM. I recommend getting it done when you arrive a day early. Finding an ATM without Internet access on an excursion can be very difficult. ATM fees could be $5 at the foreign ATM and $5 at your bank. If you pay for an ATM transaction, a 5-cent difference in the exchange rate is only $10 for 200 euros. I agree you should probably get your Euros before you travel so you have cab money when you arrive. My advice. You probably won't need more than 200 Euros if you use a CC (without a foreign transaction fee) for incidentals on excursions. My bottom line is that I don't sweat the exchange rate for 200 of any foreign currency.
  3. I have two. We got one on board two weeks ago. New style.
  4. You can only use two days. The price will likely be the same as a pre-purchase.
  5. If you purchase Internet access before the cruise, you cannot use any free days or discounts.
  6. You will need to create a new ID for each free day.
  7. Could be chocolate-covered strawberries, dessert cakes, or a rubber, warm, cheese plate.
  8. Your arrival time is meaningless.
  9. No hacks, but most ports have free Internet at the pier in the terminal. Buy one person -- 4 devices
  10. There is no secret. You have no idea.
  11. Probably a poor choice of words. Getting transportation and driving round trip will probably cost you 2 hours total. I'm just trying to discourage a roll-your-own.
  12. If it is on her account as pending, it just means RCI has not settled the transaction. It wasn't declined, but if RCI thinks it was, have your TA resubmit the payment ASAP. If it shows up on your CC twice, it's a straightforward dispute with your bank as a duplicate transaction.
  13. Chill Island is somewhat quiet unless someone brings their Bluetooth speaker. Cabanas have the same problem and I'm not paying $1,000+. The new adult beach will have a DJ. And obviously, if someone is flying a banner no one is safe from noise.
  14. That all changed with Starlink. It's only called Voom, and it's always cheaper to buy a two-device plan before you board.
  15. That's the point. If the ship is not offering an excursion, then it's not possible. It's a reasonably long drive to the space center.
  16. Same thing for us. We stopped scanning and taking pictures two years ago. Why bother?
  17. They can't do anything at the terminal. It would be best if you went to Guest Services on the ship on Day 2. And I agree don't tell them. Could also be KSF impacted the prices.
  18. Yes, maybe they could give you the picture they took, and you could use it on a future cruise.
  19. There won't be any Express Boarding if the ship isn't boarding. You'll be in the same chairs as everyone else at the Terminal. IMHO, this probably won't save you more than a few minutes. I think RCI is trying to incent you to scan your passport and take your picture so the pier agents don't have to.
  20. To clarify, you are buying Internet access (Voom). Wifi is free, and you can use it for the RCI app.
  21. Good point on the sales tax. There are excellent buys on the ship.
  22. You need to put your phone in Airplane mode, sign on to the Voom internet, and turn on Wifi calling. There is no charge from your cellphone provider, just RCI to pay for Internet access.
