Just meet at a different lounge. If they don't drink and they are not in a suite, what are you planning on doing for dinner? Kicking them out so you can eat at CK or joining them in the MDR? What you are asking doesn't make sense to me, but I agree with the others, don't ask, save everyone the embarrassment

According to CruiseDeckPlans it is on Deck 12 Here is a list of all the ships

Just a side note... If you go through the check-in again, you might be able to select an earlier time. If an earlier time doesn't pop up, just close it, it won't change what you already have. But try it a few times, it has worked for me a few times

I am not a fan of stairs due to leg surgery, but I have stairs at home so why not have them on vacation too? 🤷‍♀️ I really didn't have an issue with the depth or width of the stairs, I thought I would!! We unpackaged, brought the clothes upstairs, and left the luggage downstairs. Our Room Attendant asked if we wanted her to store our luggage under the bed (My DH was recovering from wrist surgery) We didn't see the need. It was just the two of us and the luggage was not in the way at all. We did move them behind the chairs, but even where it is in the pic, it wasn't in our way

We always do a Cash Account... I believe I have been able to change from the CC to a Cash account during check-in at the pier. On the last day, after I have looked over the account, I change it back to a Credit Card.

Or let us make reservations 7 or 14 days before the cruise... It gives those paying full price plenty of time to make their purchases. I think it would be easier on the staff and the passengers

I got the Coffee Card and the water package... So I think I will be OK but I didn't think it was good in the specialty restaurants. I'm weird... I like caramel macchiato in the morning, french vanilla occasionally after dinner, and any frappe in the afternoon lol

Thanks! I never really thought about it because I have always had either the DDP or the Refreshment Package. On our upcoming cruise, I don't think I am getting a drink package, and wasn't sure if I wanted to waste a voucher for a latte lol

Buy a specialty restaurant dinner and receive one complimentary nonalcoholic specialty coffee beverage (exludes Starbucks)4 4_You will receive one (1) complimentary non-alcoholic specialty coffee beverage with the purchase of dinner in any specialty restaurant. Excludes Starbucks. What if you have the Ultimate Dining Package?

No kettles anymore (that I remember) but you can use the Lavazza without a pod for the hot water

I wasn't a fan of it either... I tried it once and since then, I was happy to walk down to Cafe Promenade or Cafe Latte-Tude depending on the ship! I got a good laugh at your comment!

I wonder if WJ will have a per-day credit with the UDP LOL

When we booked the UDP in 2020 for a 2021 cruise it was $20 and I could swear that is what I had read on CC when Playmakers was put on the ships. Guess my timeline was off

That was only Izumi... Playmakers was always $20

When we had the UDP on Symphony we had dinner at Chops then walked over to 150 CP and ordered dessert. Years ago when we were on Harmony, people on CC asked about me and if I could see if you could just get the Globe and the price. The chef came out and said he would have no issues doing that if he wasn't too busy... The best advice I could say is just ask on the first day, maybe they can tell you what day/time would be best, As far as the kids, the upstairs where the bar is on Oasis Class is also the reception area and it does have tables... So my guess is yes, the kids can sit at the tables.

In November 2022 I booked a JS for 2 people on Oasis for February 2024. for $3100... Like everyone else, I have looked for price drops but it has only been going up, up, and up!! Today I did a mock booking and the JS is $5200 I am no math wiz like my DH but that is one heck of a price jump!! About 6 months ago I looked to book my bonus son on the same sailing... The lowest price I could book a gty balcony for was $2150 for 2 people using my discount. Today it was $2300. I have been saying this is my last RC cruise unless prices start coming back down... I haven't looked at other cruise lines, but I have looked into All-Inclusive Resorts.

We grabbed stuff from Park Cafe or WJ and put it in our room for late-night... It's hard for us to turn our hours upside-down for 1-2 weeks of vacation

I have done 3 cruises since the restart, 3 different ports and all of them had lines for check-in times. They didn't take the next time slot until the one before was cleared. It is a a fingers crossed ~ hit and miss! You can go through the check-in process and try for an earlier time.

This is just a guess, but I would say 2 and 6 would be the formal nights I have seen from Tuxes and gowns down to sundresses and slacks Do what makes you happy 🙂

Any and All Cruise Line could create their own video with some key points on a loop!! I saw a Vlogger Couple while I was on a cruise last year. I was next to them while they were creating some content. We actually saw them a few times during the cruise doing their thing... Normally we don't pay attention to what people are doing around us while we are on vacation. They do them we do us. But they were constantly arguing, reshooting and their language and volumes were not kid friendly!! We weren't offended but it took away from our downtime. I don't know if they were new vloggers or had thousands of followers, but If I ever do run across one of their vlogs, I am not sure I would watch it I only subscribe to a few cell phone vloggers 😄

Depends on the itinerary... Typically Night 2 and Night 5 or 6 But some itineraries have been 3 and 6 I wasn't too concerned because someone shared their latter on the same ship a few months earlier, so I knew the basics What ship and itinerary? and what types of suites?

Check your spam folder too! My first suite we never saw the email because it went to spam 😕

I have been on 3 cruises since the restart, 3 different ships, and different experiences in the DLs Symphony Aug 2021 the DL was a ghost town. I walked by it several times a day and never saw anyone, not even an employee. I don't think they put out the appetizers. It was the 2nd cruise after the restart, and the total passenger count was 1127 Liberty Feb 2022 I only went a few times during HH, it wasn't packed but there were a good about of people there. Appetizers and Petit Fours were served by the staff. Enchantment May 2022 I went to the DL most nights, Stopped in the CL but there were not many people there... The Appetizers and Petit Fours were self-serve and were probably the best I have ever had in a lounge. I am guessing that is why it was as active as it was. Again, I only went for HH, I didn't g in the morning for coffee!! If the DL, SL, and CLs would bring in flavored cream options or syrups, I would go in the mornings 😛

WOW!! I went through something very similar years ago in WJ... Both parents and 3 young kids. The server put down a fresh tray of meatballs. The middle child grabbed some meatballs, one rolled onto the floor and the kid bent down to pick it up. My first thought was WTG, most kids would leave it on the floor. After she picked it up she put it back in the full tray!!! 🤦‍♀️ The server was still there, pulled the tray, and politely told the child not to put food back on to the tray, Then the kid grabbed something with her hands, I told her its wrong to use her hands and some other words, but I was very respectful in what I said. The server then came over and grabbed that tray of food and told the parents to please keep an eye on their kids and what had just happened. The parents then told the server it is their vacation they paid for the right to eat there and their kids can eat how they want to., It is none of her business how their kids behave, I was floored!!

I have never paid for the cruise with points, not sure you can. But if you pay the TA with the RC CC you do get double points
