We are currently booked on an infinite veranda Aqua Class - if we bid up - can we bid on SEVERAL categories - can we bid up on a sky suite; and aqua sky suite and a celebrity suite? Or can you only bid on one category - hoping bidding on several could give one a better chance?

Can you bid on more than one upgrade at a time - for example - if in inside cabin - could you bid on a balcony cabin AND a suite - hoping ONE of the two would work out? Or can you only bid on one?

I thank you for your speedy response - good to know - by the way we paid 43.99 - saw it online on cruise planner before we got the email announcement. Also, to show how prices have increased - we had a cruise during pandemic that was cancelled - we had reservations for the BEACH CLUB and only paid $75. I still think if you are paying big bucks for a suite - Beach Club should be included as there once was a special beach on Labadee with steaks on the menu (no Lobster) but no extra charge if booked in a suite. But, as long as we pay - they will keep these things up. Recent cruisers will laugh - but many years ago when we started cruising there was NO SUCH ANIMAL as a specialty restaurant - ha - Still a cruise lover here - despite the changes over the years - still my favorite vacation!

Question on drinks - will we be able to use our 5 drinks per day from Diamond Plus at this area of the adults only beach??

Royal Caribbean still has artist renderings of all the varied cabins and suites on the ICON of the Seas on their website. Hoping that SOON they will release actual pics - to see the reality of the cabins. We have appreciated the real pics (not renderings) of some of the public places that have been posted here on CC. Sales are good - so I guess no real hurry for the actual cabin pics - but really look forward to seeing them eventually!

I thank you kindly for the pics and the postings - much appreciated - BAY VIEW it is!!!

We recently stayed at Intercontinental hotels in San Diego and Ft. Lauderdale. We were pleased with the cleanliness and service at both. Since we are now IHG members, we would like to book the Intercontinental in Miami for a future cruise. What category room should we select for the best view of the ships in port? Ocean or Bay View - we will be on ICON so hoping she will be easy to see - as larger than many. If anyone has pics from their window that has a good view of the ships - share pic and/or room number please. I thank anyone who is kind enough to reply. Smooth sailing to all!!!

I thank you for the speedy reply!! Much appreciated:)

IF I am correct I think the coupons were good only in the evening in the past - is it true that your free drink coupons can be spread out all day; not just before, during, and after dinner? Thanks for your answer - appreciate it We have not sailed Royal for some time - been on Celebrity - and just wanted to clarify.

Booked Beach Club during Pandemic on Oasis for $75 - we are now booked on ICON for August 2024 - cost is $302 ON SALE!!! per person. I can't decide if we want to spend that much for the Beach Club. Maybe price will come down. We are paying high prices for booking a suite, wish this were included in suite fare. In Labadee with suite we had a private beach and different buffet with steak, etc. As long as people pay what they ask - why should they reduce the price. But, $75 to $302 per person is a bit much.

Pics greatly appreciated!!! - keep them coming please!!! Anxious to see cabin pics - especially suites rather than just the artist renderings~~

On one of websites it said that some HE Penthouse suites are larger than others on the NCL Prima. Does anyone know if this is in fact true? And if so which cabin numbers - they span from deck 12 to deck 15 - If anyone has stayed in this type cabin on Prima please advise. Thank you so much!

Booking a cruise to Bermuda next year with Celebrity for the Broadway themed cruise. We are selecting as we cruise Celebrity often. The Broadway cruise uses various lines, NCL, Celebrity, Seabourne, etc. Has anyone sailed on one of these before? Just curious as to how much extra entertainment you got - and how you enjoyed the experience. It looks good!!! If anyone has sailed on one of these - would appreciate comments. Great to have Broadway stars to entertain.

Thank you so much for the information - boarding tomorrow - excited to be in Haven and hoping for decent connection - appreciate your help!

WE are in a corner aft cabin - do you think that will make internet connection better or worse in that location - I once read internet service better when closer to center of ship - I know NOTHING about that - just asking - thank you!

We usually make reservations for the MDR - if not going to a specialty restaurant. Only frustration on Breakaway and Escape - line for dinner - same line for those with reservations and those without - seems it would be easy to break line in two - on left side reservations - right side - walk ups. It would make things easier for all and less waiting for those with reservations in line. Just my opinion - never had more than a 10 or 15 minute wait - but then why make reservations?

I was looking at the Haven dinner menu on another site. It listed Starbucks drinks - can I assume that even in the Haven this is an extra cost? There was no asterisk or anything saying price added on the menu?

We were able to get reservations for Million Dollar Quartet - but when we try Burn the Floor - it keeps saying error message - log out and try again . Also for Syd Norman's Pour House - it says reservations 249 dollars each - that CAN'T be correct - hope glitches clear up. Anyone else having problems - there should be no charge for the Pour House. This is for the Getaway sailing March 18.

Yes, we booked this on the excursion section of the website or app - whichever you prefer. Thanks for the information.

We pre ordered a clam shell online for Great Stirrup Cay. Are they all in one specific area on the island or scattered? How do you claim one? Can you go to any that are unoccupied? Prior 2 cruises GSC was canceled due to high winds and not safe for tenders. Hoping we finally get some beach time there this year. Any information is appreciated. Thanks - smooth sailing to all!

We are traveling with a few other couples in March - sharing transportation to the pier from Pennsylvania. We can only check in online next week - if all couples do not get the same check in time - will they at least allow us INSIDE the terminal to wait? Reason I am asking - on another cruise line - I had a check in at 11:00 - 2 minutes later after my check in online my wife did hers and her earliest time then was 12:00. Since we are married they allowed us BOTH in at 11:00 - not sure how NCL handles this. Any advice if we do not all get the same check in time? Anyone who has sailed out of NYC recently - tell us how your check in went. Some saying less staff and longer waits than before covid?? Any comments appreciated - thank you!

I thank you for the detailed comments - we are so much looking forward to this balcony - if weather good - want breakfast there most days. And noodle bar info appreciated - any other tips - feel free to tell me more - getting excited - 30 days to go!

I thank you kindly for those videos. Despite quite a few of negative reviews of GETAWAY last few months, we are looking forward to our Haven experience and hope we have a great cruise. Smooth sailing to all.

Anyone sail recently in 9316 on Getaway? Booked for the huge balcony and Haven perks. Just wondered who your butler was and how well he/she did. Also, wondering if any issues with vibration in this aft cabin? Any advice or tips greatly appreciated. Sailing out of NYC on March 18 - so hoping warm enough to use the balcony before we have to wait to be more south. Also, who was your concierge - always find them so helpful?

Thanks for the information - I know Haven boarding is a snap with snacks and drinks waiting to board. I just wanted to be sure that our friends could at least enter the terminal - no problem waiting to check in - just as long as they can at least enter and not be outside.
