Thank you I may call for a switch! Does anyone know if it is still possible to receive a Royal Up bid after a GTY cabin assignment?

It’s me again….son and I are going on Symphony of the Seas May 10-13th. We received our cabin assignment today 14211 preferred an OV so I did 2 Royal Up bids! If you are familiar with this cabin can you share? Also can your Royal Up bid be accepted after cabin assignment? Is it possible to call RCCL and ask for a change within same category as I heard deck 14 is very loud? Thank you!

Thanks everyone I realize food is very subjective and we truly enjoy all types of cuisine! I have looked at all the menus, but have not dined in RCCL specialty restaurants and that is why I needed some advice! It has been 12 years since we sailed on RCCL ( please don’t flame me for saying this) but the food offered in the dining rooms bordered on inedible to unappetizing. It is one of the main reasons we left the cruise line. Thanks again for your thoughts!

Hello, My college son and I will be on Symphony of the Seas May 10-13th; I am considering a specialty dining venue one night because our dining time conflicts with a showtime. The choices are Chops $54.99 p/p, Jaimie O. $45.99 p/p, or Izumi $33.99 p/p. These prices are slightly cheaper today so I would prefer to book now. In your opinion which is the best option based on ambience, food, and price? We have the opportunity to sample these cuisines so curious to your opinion on these specialty restaurants on this ship! Thank you for any insight you can provide!

Hello, We will be on the 3 day May 10th Symphony sailing. I am considering buying the Chops dining package for $54 p/p for 2 adults; is this a good price? Also the coffee card is $31 and covers 15 beverages and does not have to be assigned to everyone in stateroom; can you confirm? Is it possible to get 2 specialty coffees in morning? Thanks for any input!

Hello, My son and I are booked on this short 3 day cruise. I was able to book Hairspray and HIRO. However, someone on our roll call mentioned there would be no shows on this cruise! Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks!

Thank you is there a quiet place on the ship for adults?

I booked Symphony! We are so excited! Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you we sailed on Allure over 10 years ago twice so I would like to try another ship! I tried to put a hold on a cabin, but it didn’t allow before payment. Any insights? Disney will allow a 24 hour hold prior to payment. I was a part time travel agent eons ago so I generally do my own bookings.

Thanks everyone for your informative replies! It really is a “ no-brainer” with a 20 year old! It’s been at least 12 years since we did a RCCL cruise so he doesn’t remember much from the Oasis class….I think he will have a blast. I can escape to the adult areas for some peace and quiet!

Hello, My son and I are considering a 3 day cruise in early May after he gets home from college and begins his summer job. I have narrowed the search down to 3 options in order of preference. Symphony 3 day from FLL, Allure 3 day from PC, AND Celebrity Reflection. My questions are primarily if you have sailed on both lines; will Celebrity be too sedate for him? Also will the RCCL cruises be too “wild” for me? Also I like the fact that Symphony has been refurbished, but Celebrity is cheaper! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I am going to book today because the Symphony sailing increased by $300 yesterday! Ouch!

We used Sorrento Limo last week for a driver out of Naples to the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii. Our driver was excellent, Michel, he did mention they are a small company. Their prices were extremely reasonable too!

Thank you for these updates! We are leaving from B’ham, AL on Thursday to board on the Dream Saturday and these are so informative!

Thank you for the info you provided it has been most helpful!

My son is a young adult (20) also we have a house at the beach so really more interested in villages not located on the water. Is it relatively easy to get a taxi from La Seyne-sur-Mer, Bandol, Hyeres, La Castellet?
