Went to Guest Services and got a full refund

As @ATG posted, today is sea day and we will be on time tomorrow for Labadee. We had gone to Hideaway Bay yesterday with friends, but it was so windy and cold at 69 degrees we only stayed for a half hour.

Currently on Oasis and we are still docked at CocoCay. The Captain is waiting for the wind to change direction and then we can leave, probably within the next hour or two.

We put in a bid slightly over minimum for a suite on Oasis, got our reject email the night before we sailed.

Quantum-class ships have a Playmaker’s that overlooks the indoor sports complex area.

We did a 3-day last month on MSC Divina out of Miami. We were supposed to go to Nassau and then MSC’s private island Ocean Cay. It was so windy we couldn’t dock at either port. So we just had two sea days before coming back to Miami. We didn’t get fined or anything!

Glad you were ok. Saw videos on FB of the slot machines knocked over, that must have been so scary.

Oh wow, how incredibly exciting for you!!!!!!

We changed cabins last week and were asked to pack everything (went from Deck 10 down to Deck 6)

We had the pleasure in 2022 of sailing into and then docking in Sydney at the OPT. I have many wonderful memories from that cruise. Hope you have a fabulous time.

The J3 Junior Suites on Odyssey are great for families because they have one and a half bathrooms! That is such a great feature. We got a J3 on Odyssey through a last-minute upgrade and loved it. Since there is just 2 of us, we usually do the J4 Junior suite, which has the split bathroom but only one toilet.

We have learned that not allowing a bread basket is a great start to watching your weight. Or my husband will request one breadstick or just one pretzel roll.

Something is off. Here is the list of QR codes and the points needed for each level. I got a certificate for 2,000 points. It is only good for an interior and I played about $1,000 of my own money. So he should definitely booked through either the NextCruise deal or NextCruise on the app, because a balcony or junior suite is one heck of a deal for $20!

You do not bank it on the card. You play $260 and then cash out. You will have a voucher for $240. You take the voucher to the cashier and get your $240 in cash. You can then repeat that within an hour or whenever you want. But you must cash out from the machine, some players are not aware that on Royal the machine does not automatically cash you out.

We are on Icon first of March. Bought the 3-night dining package several months ago and it is no longer showing available to purchase. UDP is still available.

For instant certificates with a NextCruise booking, the rule has been that you must call Club Royale and book within 30 days to get your Free Play bonus and your NextCruise onboard credit. If you are not booking a casino certificate then you have 60 days to book and get the NextCruise OBC.

We just did MSC Yacht Club last week on Divina. We really liked it. Hope YC Seashore is great for you.

Galaxy was open today for lunch, as this became a sea day. I don’t know about port days because we didn’t have one.

Currently on the Divina and we have had a horn player one night in TSL and last night was a guitar player. Since the seas have been rough and windy we have not been able to port in Nassau or today at Ocean Cay. Some YC guests are not happy about this but we are just enjoying the YC experience on this short 3-day cruise.

Yesterday we received notice of our upgrade for New Year’s on Odyssey. Went from a balcony to a junior suite with a mid-way bid.

I was wondering if they would make Messi the godfather. We learned about him last February in Buenos Aires on our South American cruise. And when we got home, the excitement when it was announced he was signing with a South Florida team!

Two days ago on Symphony we had a medical evacuation on the Labadee pier. IMG_2256.mov
