You are in, what did you bid on?

Yea, the ACE is brand new. I've see a couple reviews comparing it with the DJI Action 4 and the GoPro 12. If you don't plan on using it soon I would wait. DJI Action cameras come out in August / September, GoPro is about the same time period

Been in an Aft twice, once on the Gem and once on the Breakaway. We had a fair amount of vibration when cruising slow. Also each morning we had a fair amount of ash / sot on the balcony. On the Gem our balcony was washed down every morning

My wife enjoy dining with others and have been asked a number of time in the main dining room if we mind sharing a table with another couple. Never had a bad experience, in fact it was the opposite. Our last dinner with another couple was a couple from England who were in their 90's. They were a hoot

That looks pretty nice, I swear they come out with brand new units every 6 months Lol

Our old one use to do that but our new one is fantastic. It vacuums, mops, cleans itself. Even has a built in camera so I can drive it around lol. Dreame L20 now 30% off https://amzn.to/47FrdhK

Not sure about the rest of the ship but in the Haven restaurant we had the same waiter for breakfast lunch and dinner

I'm more concerned about my robot vacuum getting stuck under the coffee table while we are on a cruise than any "Danger" we might run into

A few years ago while in Vegas and staying at the Bellagio I had a couple for the breakfast buffet. It was amazing, they had a station that all they did was make fresh hash browns while you waited. Best I've ever had

Ask your room steward, ours brought me a gallon

Have a great time!

Let us know what you end up with

Love Tampa. We always stay at Tampa Marriot Waterfront. You can walk from the hotel to the cruise terminal

A GoPro or DJI Action are GREAT cameras for time lapse. I use a small external power bank and the camera will go for 24 hours. I really like the DJI Action 4 better than the GoPro 12. For day time lapse I have it set to Video and then I set it to every 2 seconds https://amzn.to/3umRl2D Power Bank, plugs into the USB port https://amzn.to/47EEfMi This Tripod is excellent, it fits on the railings perfectly https://amzn.to/3QLNQKq Here is a few

I've given up trying to pack early with the exception of my camera and snorkeling equipment. Last time I pack early I forgot underwear. Only had on what I was wearing to board. Luckily it was a warm cruise and I had brought two pairs of Speed O's and a couple trunks. The Speed'O's filled in well for my briefs Lol

Use these they work great https://amzn.to/3R0bAMi These are great for allowing you to use ALL the outlets in the cabin https://amzn.to/47cQ7FL

The Haven sundeck on the Jade is above the courtyard, its the very top deck The Haven Sundeck diagram is not correct. The Sundeck is above (on top) of the Haven cabins that surround the courtyard. The courtyard of the Jade I believe it like the Gem with a glass enclosure Skip to the 12 minute mark of this video, it shows the courtyard and sundeck

$199 seems like a huge waste of money. However boarding really depends on the port and the people working there. We have sailed out of NYC numerous times. Twice in the Haven were it was easy peasy, a few other times were it was hit or miss. One time it was like they just hired a whole new staff and nobody seemed to know what to do.

I had bought the 900 in 2016 and bought the 1000 in June. This camera is simply fantastic https://amzn.to/3R7y0vn

If you are interested in doing any type of time lapse I was take a good look at the new DJI Action 4. Its heads above the GoPro 12. I've been using Action Cameras since GoPro 1, DJI has a real winner with the Action 4. I've run it head to head against the 12 on testing and its just better. The 12 still fails when it comes to overheating. It seem GP can't figure that one out. https://amzn.to/40AN9rQ The new DJI Pocket 3 is simply awesome https://amzn.to/3FYhDL1

Just stick in your luggage, I wouldn't even bother asking

I would call back and see if you can get a manager to explain what they heck is going on

I just did a mock booking on a number of Haven Cabins on the Epic for February 4th. Hard to believe they are "Sold Out"
