We've used it a few times so far and it's just nice going home with less work to do to get back to the grind. I'm guilty of dumping all our laundry in one load at home, so outside of dress clothes, it all goes and so far, it's been fine. Lol.

Is the free laundry perk only 1 per cabin, or since my wife and I are both diamond plus, we'd get 2 free bags on a 7 night cruise?

This is what I get when I go to the website and go to entertainment within the cruise planner:

So bizarre. I tried on my wife's phone and mine and get the same grayed out message. Not sure what else to do other than wait. You can't call and they're able to book shows are they?

Anyone have any remedies? Per the cruise group, bookings became available last night for the shows on icon next month. I can see them in the app, but when I go to any of them, I get the button grayed out. I'm on Royals wifi this week on Wonder, but I tried this morning via slow data on st Thomas and still no luck. I've tried the uninstall the app and reinstall, logged out and in, no such luck. Can't think of anything else to try. The website has nothing under entertainment

On Wonder, if we need to be off the ship pretty early, where does the line begin to form for self disembarkation for the first people off? Is it right near the gangway on deck 5?

Forgot about the Asia piece. That makes a lot more sense. It's so bizarre they don't operate the windows that are there and seem openable by a controller.

This is the first time on Wonder. Do they ever open any of the little windows around the sides and front for airflow? If you aren't in the pool, it's like a greenhouse with no air flow. I couldn't figure out this morning why the outside pools were packed and you could get any seat you wanted in the solarium until I realized it must have been 90 degrees inside with no air flow at all. So strange compared to the other oasis class ships. I asked one of the workers if they ever opened the windows since they look to be electronic and he just seemed really confused by the thought lol

I booked 150 central at full price via the app when I got on board for tonight (night 2). So I didn't talk to anyone making the res, so I'm thinking I just tell the waiter at the start of dinner tonight I want to use my bogo on my wife?

I love it. We were the only ship today at Coco cay on Wonder, which is rare now a days and man was it great being one ship. Hideaway is definitely our favorite and with one ship and lots of kids on Wonder, Hideaway was never packed and wonderful. I even found a 10 year aged whistle pig bourbon which I was shocked to see. I found it interesting though that currently they don't allow any shots, straight liqueur, neat, during "spring break".

So I booked 150 central at full price via the app when I got on board for tonight (night 2). So I didn't talk to anyone making the res, so I'm thinking I just tell the waiter at the start of dinner tonight I want to use my bogo on my wife?

I'm just going to use the bogo on one dinner tonight I think. I'm guessing when the waiter is asking about the check, that's when I tell him we want to use our diamond plus bogo?

I think maybe we'll do that. Just book 150 central for night 2 and basically pay for 1 of us. That would work, right?

Ah that makes sense, so we would have to do a dinner tonight on night 1 and then another one night two to make it work?

Help please. My wife and I are on Wonder, and just booked Chops for tomorrow night. We're both diamond plus. To use the bogo, I want to then use the free on 150 central on night to 5 which I booked through the app. Do I just have to tell them on night 2 in chops and it'll work out for night 5 at 150 if I pay full price at chops on night 2?

Up to this point, we're on Wonder in a lite over a week and April 1st, cruise mapper still has Wonder as the only ship in Coco cay. I assume cruise mapper doesn't update with all these ships being shuffled around, but is there anyway to tell if one of the other ships swapped out Labadee for the Coco cay day since it's rare for only 1 ship to be there lately?

I think you've had more glasses of milk in this trip report than I've had in the last 15 years combined lol

Just came out this AM! So worth a check.

Not sure if interested, but I figure with you on this sailing, you may not see it, but you may have an offer in your Royal caribbean casino portal that might interest you. If your account qualified, handful of Utopia sailings this summer from Port Canaveral. My account had one and my wife did so we were able to book a back to back on her. Just as a heads up! Loving the report!

Good point. Edge class I would picture being a similar experience, especially since most are 7 day cruises.

It's interesting seeing some of the "entertainment". My wife and I always had considered Celebrity but have never made the jump from Royal, but being close to your age, I'm not sure how much we'd enjoy it. The entertainment so far makes me think we may be bored on the ship. Maybe not, but just my initial thoughts so far based on what's been available.

Just had the realization that your last live, I was getting on a ship when it ended. This time around, I still have a handful of weeks before getting on my prime Wonder cruise. Sigh. Loving vicariously through you though and I love it!

What is this fan nonsense? We have our first ever Carnival cruise booked later this year. I've always brought a fan with on all our Royal sailings, are you saying carnival confiscates fans during boarding??

Never sailed celebrity but will be following along 😊

I can't complain! We hit the 4k point level after night 2 and since nothing was on the 6500 level, called it quits in the casino and booked an 8 nt on oasis next February down to Aruba. Lost about $900 total to get it. Worst part was I was at 3,100 pts needing 900 more, and we were up like $500 at the time, but that final 900 points was rough.
