really enjoying this review thank you. we are on Meraviglia in November so are finding this really useful.

Worldtravelista1 - how was the embarkation - disembarkation in Barcelona - we join there too and wondering what time we could get on the ship?

finding your review really helpful, going on Meraviglia in November with a fussy eater so seeing this is exactly what I need. do you know which restaurant is for Bella experience at dinner?

we got our 140 point block on the day the 140th point was earned during our last cruise.

just wondering about bottled water and the drinks package - is it included and if so is it included in the dining room?

We are travelling on Meraviglia next year and wondered which dining room we will be assigned with the Bella experience? We know the time will not be confirmed until boarding but do not know if there is a set dining room for each experience, can anyone help?

Also if anyone knows where I can see daily planners for Meraviglia I would be grateful if you can point me in the right direction.

thanks

Does anyone have recent daily planners - we are on next November and taking new cruiser family members with us. thought it would be useful to show them daily planner for a hint of what is to come. we have also not been on Meraviglia so a new adventure for us all.

I like my cosmo made with gin, a variant for those who don't like vodka :cocktail:yum

i used the customerserviceuk email 3 weeks ago. I received an acknowledgement email the next day to let me know it was received but it did take a week for a full reply.

it also cost us $10 per person per day to upgrade from select to premium. as it costs $10 for one spirit drink or about $12 per cocktail having more than one drink per day made this worth while. I wonder what RCL will do with the bookings that include a drinks package that no longer exists - might be worth checking with TA or RCL

We were on Jewel from 17-24 July including the unexpected extra sea day due to not being able to port due to weather. we agree that there are not enough pool chairs or loungers for the number of passengers on the ship, and people were resorting to lying on towels on the upper decks. I did notice 'pool patrols' and the removal of towels and belonging on the sea days, but mostly in the morning when everyone was activelylooking for a spot. Also if a 'vacant' lounger was pointed out to pool attendants after a time they did take action. I also found that asking those around if the lounger was free often provided the answer. The area around the pool was most popular and to be fair most people did not seem to be reserving more seats than they used. There is more than enough space on the upper deck if more loungers were made available - RCL please add extra loungers.

dining reservations for my cruise on Independence on 1 May only opened last week:confused:
