VK3DQ Posted September 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Folks The boarding passes are printed and the baggage labels printed and laminated, the flights to Sydney are booked and the hotel for the night before the cruise booked. Explorer of the Seas and the Grand suite will be waiting , but there is a HUGE problem , let me explain AS we are traveling Suites class there is a separate checkin area , but we dont know if we will be able to use this facility Can cruisers please advise Can we have Graham in the Suites checkin area or will we have to queue with those from 2nd and 3rd class :D We are all in totally dismay at the thought that we will miss out on the "RedCarpetSquare" perk lets face it nothing beats hopping on one leg on a red carpet square whist checking in for your cruise :p So perhaps cruisers can point the way to the "Spechial" checkin area at the OPT ,,, we only have 50 more days to wait Regards John Jean and Elsie:D:eek::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makawe Posted September 25, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2016 oh no fair...I want to feel spethial too....I may be in the cheapest of the lowly interior cabins at the other end of the spectrum but I reckon that's worth at least one small square of red carpet treatment.
