As I said before, I didn't do it with an agent. I did it through the app using the next cruise option....

Is the next cruise desk the best option to look into? With it being last day, I doubt I'll get anywhere near though to ask. Also don't want to request another through the app and get double charged

I did it through the app. Normally you get the blank invoice shortly after but still haven't.

On board right now. I did a next cruise deposit over 24 hours ago, but haven't gotten the email. When I check the app, it just says I'll get an email within 24 hours. Any idea who I'd need to speak with on board tonight if it doesn't show up? We get off the ship tomorrow morning. Normally I get the email within a few hours of doing it.

Ah got it. So if we went to say chops night 1,we'd just pay for one of us?

For the diamond plus free bag of laundry, is that 1 per cabin or since my wife and I will both be D+, would we each get one free bag even though we're in the same cabin? I guess same question regarding Bogo specialty dining on day 1, could we do day 1 and day 2 and essentially then get 2 free dining later in the cruise?

Thanks

Curious for opinions. We fly out to Rome in a few days to board Odyssey for its transatlantic back to Florida. With all the crazy going on and things seemingly escalating every day in the middle east, would you still go? As of right now, we're planning on going but just being a little more cautious.

Looks like what some thought might happen is going to happen, at least for 5-8 daily. Found that on another group. No more diamonds in the lounge from 5-8. Maybe specific to whatever this sailing is, but wouldn't surprise me to go forward. Glad I don't care and never go to the lounge.

Love it!

Wife is a wine drinker, I'm not crazy about it but maybe this would open me up to some.

I know "worth it" is very subjective, but, considering doing chefs table for the first time ever on our transatlantic in a few weeks on Odyssey. Right now it's like $88 a person. Is it worth a try? Normally we're too busy to commit to such a long dining experience, but we'll have more time with it being a crossing. I know specialty dining is generally more expensive onboard and I don't think I've ever seen chefs table offered at a discount onboard that I can remember.

Yes. YouTube obstructed vjdww balcony in Odyssey, quantum or ovation and you'll see numerous videos of different views. Some you'll see mostly life boat, others better.

Interesting how the price varies. I'm on Oasis end of February and early March, and the price was $61.99per person. On Wonder at the end of March, it's $51.98. I would have expected Wonder sailing to be higher than oasis since it seems they charge more on Coco cay for everything on the newer ships.

The new swim up bar and dj area looks awesome. An upgraded version of oasis lagoon I feel. Booked it on 3 cruises before the day pass increases like beach club did

Clean teeth are clean teeth! Worry less about what other people do and enjoy vacation more.

I give kudos to the lady exercising and flossing her teeth!

True. And we don't travel with a massive amount of stuff. I plan on price watching to see if upgrading goes does, or we may put in royal up bids for even a boardwalk balcony. For the amount we're in our cabin, this being our first interior may or may not enjoy it. We shall see. Excited for our first b2b though

So as a follow up, decided to use my casino offer in another way. Ended up booking the following week on oasis so we can do our first ever back to back. Was able to get the same interior for both weeks, so may or may not try to Royal up.

Right now, upgrading to lowest category oceanview balcony is about a grand. No thanks. Lol.

One thing I considered is doing a free 3 day on Freedom, get off the ship and go down the cruise port and hop on Indy for the 5 nighter, so a total of 8 nights. Could also do that with free cruises, but felt like more work than keeping oasis.

Currently I have the Oasis booked in February. It's a free casino cruise, so only paid port fees and taxes. It's a 7 day, goes to Nassau, Coco cay, Labadee, and Falmouth. Lackluster at best. Our cabin is just an interior. For the same week, I can book a different free casino cruise on Independence of the seas. It's only a 5 nighter, goes to Falmouth and Nassau. With this cruise, we'd be able to get a junior suite comped. I've gone back and forth on just keeping what we have or moving to Indy. We've sailed on both ships and been to all islands for both.

I ask my wife this question all the time and then it's quickly followed by her yelling "wrong one!!" 🤷

I'm leaning towards keeping 10:30. Economy for 6 hours doesn't sound enjoyable

Oh we've done 9:30s out of FLL many times
