  1. We usually don't do anything shorter than a 14 night...but opted to do a very unusual (for us) 4 night out of PC just last month. Three reasons...20 minutes to the port from home. Had never been on Allure before. Wanted to see Mamma Mia while we still could. Nice little fill in cruise, enjoyed Allure, but totally bummed that all Mamma Mia shows were cancelled. Oh well, adding to RCL coffers. 😉 And even a little 50 PC stock bonus to enjoy while on board.
  2. Agree there. Had no idea that we would score a double set of perks once we made Pinnie. 🙂 Perfect timing with our first X cruise coming up in Dec. 😉
  3. B2B for us in October. Fondly looking forward to sweet little "Enstretchment" again. 🥰
  4. We did during. Simple visit to LA's (Loyalty Ambassador) desk. If he or she is not there, should be able to find a stack of cards there, that you can fill out and drop in the box at the desk.
  5. Hey...I resemble that remark!! 😄 Looking forward to your birthday party on Apex. 🥳
  6. They did for me...luring me to X as a newly minted Z. 😄
  7. I love the flavored teas at the station. Will grab a couple bags with a cup of hot water, then use the ice machine to fill another cup with ice, combine... Mmmm...really good ice tea. 🙂
  8. Awww....where is the fun in that? Yes, we are like you...Pinnies in a suite. Fun to see the annoying looks from SL guests when they see my pin. 😄 😄 And no...won't wear my Pinnie pin on X. Don't like tomatoes thrown at me. 😁🍅
  9. My next cruise is July 10th. Still cannot submit bid. Standard response being "within 30 days or correct information". Yes, I know my last name and cruise reservation #. Yes, it is under 30 days. Stupid IT set up. 😑
  10. You can relax now...it was a joke. 😉 But if you want to get technical. Unattended means you are not out on your balcony...but your stuff is.
  11. We were there on Serenade last Dec.....start of the WC as first port stop from Miami. Indeed felt like a ghost island! Plus our ship was far from fully booked.
  12. We have been there when there were 4 ships at Coco Cay. Two of them just off from the dock....they were doing crew transfers just after Covid restart. One would dock up, unload/load, back off and then another came up. It was a strange sight. Will try to find the pictures.
  13. Oh you such a bad boy...that is why I always liked you! 😄
  14. We are boarding in Milwaukee. No land based hotel in advance there and no pre tour.. but Octantis is doing an overnight that first night there. Thus I guess you could say the ship itself is the pre cruise hotel. 😉
  15. With the transfers they will have to make, I am thinking each flight should not be that long. We live on east coast US...so it won't be much different than flying to our boarding city in Milwaukee for us. (We are back to back). Luckily we DO have layflat seats on our upcoming Viking trip to Sydney. 🥰
  16. Thank you...thank you! 🙂 I love the GS cabins on 17, so convenient and just the right size for us. Though we prefer the side opposite the door to CK/SL. Less foot traffic.
  17. Same thing once on Wonder with another O class ship in. We always walk onto the island early, do our walk around the area, grab a couple Coco Locos at South Beach, then an early lunch when they first open at Chill Grill. When two big ships are in...those picnic tables fill up quick. South Beach bar way less busy than the others, especially early like that. We are headed back to the ship by 1 pm when it gets nuts.
  18. I detest that on Wonder. No one ever seems to shut the door behind them when they open it with their sea pass card in the keyed entry. I blame that more on the ship though. Other Oasis class ships have the keyed entry door with a self closure on it. Witnessed many times pax walking up one flight from the WJ and just wondering around. Some of them unruly children in still wet swimwear. Really bad on a sea day. DH was coming out of the keyed access deck 18 to go to the suite's sun deck one day, when a group of 20 something young girls shouted to him to hold the door open for them. He asked "Why don't you use your key"? They admitted they were not in a suite, but like to go up there a lot to hang out up and party when they find the door left open. He shut the door before they reached him.....much to their disgust. 😉 Why even have a keyed access?? 😣
  19. Good point. So the OP is not going to go inside for a bathroom break? 😉
