I will be under this umbrella up on the deck! I'm Jay! Say Hello and introduce yourself! :)

Sailing in 8 days and we have the 421 package! My partner is all excited for the specialty spa drinks as well as everything else! :P

for RCI and Celebrity, You do get full credit for the cruise and you do have access to the onboard lounges and amenities depending on the ship and your level in the program. You no longer get the shareholder OBC though.

Hope that helps. :)

Got an Aft balcony for $299 PP

You can't beat that! Throw in one of the Allegrissimo Drink packages and you are set!

Should we plan a meetup for the few of us going for sail away?

Regarding the OPs question about clothing-just remember that this is not a nude cruise. Less is more, but nothing is not acceptable. :P Have a blast!!!

We are on the 9/27 sailing... so keep Divina nice for us!

LOL-I'm bringing my own umbrellas so we are going to get a ride to the other side of GSC, have our own shade, and use our drink package to get the most out of our last day of vacation!

Well, excuse me.mpg:

LOL. Thanks for that laugh!! :)

Oh and there are about 40 different kinds of bottled beers to try from all over the world! :)

And there are several posts here with copies of the Divina drink menus. :)

The Premium package-easily. Remember that IT includes all the special drinks in the Spa, Gelato, The Mini-Bar, specialty coffee drinks and no extra room service charges. As well as Red Bull, Gatorade... EVERYTHING except an entire bottle of wine or liquor. No brainer... If you sip one Blue Label after dinner each night you've almost 1/2 there! Personally, I'm excited to be able to try ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. I don't have to finish it. And if you purchase pre-cruise you don't have to pay the 15% service charge. It's YOUR vacation. Enjoy it!

The curious art of stretching a ship:

Because we usually have inside cabins, where the only real place to sit is on the bed. Not exactly comfortable for cocktail hour.

You get wine and you drink it on your balcony. You can carry drinks with you from any bar to your balcony. Or call room service. Sorry, it just seemed a bit silly to me. How would you drink a coke on your balcony or a coffee? It's all the same. Get it and drink it. :)

How would you enjoy wine in your cabin? Why is a balcony any different?

Cool. I have white overalls and Mario and Luigi caps and shirts, white gloves, plastic plumbers tools and big mustaches! Not much but it's kind of fun and I had it all left over from another party. So I'll bring them along! ;)

Seriously? I never been on a Royal Caribbean ship that didn't have lobster.

I was on Oasis once that had an escargot shortage, but that's about it.

The last 3 cruises I've been on on RCCL were charters. Perhaps that is why they didn't have lobster-the charter company didn't want to pay for it! I didn't think about that until you said they still do have it! Interesting and thanks for the info!

Thanks for the great review-I just finished. I hope you are still around to ask some question for my upcoming Divina Cruise:

I need shade. So I was thinking I might get an umbrella that I can attach onto any chair. I'd use it onboard and while we were ashore. What do you think? They have several and I could enjoy anyplace on the ship!

It's nice to see that MSC actually still serves Lobster! Last few cruises on RCCL they had done away with it!

Are there any LGBT meetings scheduled? How are they announced? I didn't see anything in the daily programs.

Camera lenses: I really liked the fish eye for in illustrator mode and for the videos. But not for regular still pictures. :)

I'm happy to get an extra GSC magnet that I will drop in the mail for your mother. :)

Thanks again for the time and effort. It really is appreciated!

Cheers!!!

Do you see the faces in the rocks??? I count at least 3. There are legends about them but I forgot what they are :)

How many people participate? I've got a little theme for it for my partner and I was wondering how extensive it is? Any actual costumes?

I know somebody here posted about using on the Divina. Can you just tell me how it works and how it worked briefly? Thanks!

There are shuttle services that go between the airports. You can also use a rideshare: Download the Lyft app to your smartphone-Enter promo code joseph4750 on the payment screen and you'll get $25 off on your first ride. That may make your ride less than the cost of the shuttle and it's a lot more convenient.

Mainly because we were petrified of another hour wait for that to come out, and delaying the entire dinner even more. Well, not petrified, but yeah. We just did not feel like waiting more than necessary. It was already long enough as it was.

I usually order the multiple apps and entrees at the beginning of the meal so that they all come out at the same time. :P

I see that you've never mentioned ordering another entree or appetizer. If you get something that you don't like (or want more of), why not just order something else? I routinely order multiple appetizers and may even order multiple entrees if the mood strikes me. I have seen others complain about the portion sizes-just order two of them! :) I know that I'll be ordering at least 2 of the escargot!!!

LOL-That's fun!!!

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next set! Literally!
