I never thought about this until our cruise 3 weeks ago on Harmony! We were on deck 7 portside, very conveniently close to the aft elevators. A couple of times (early in the cruise) we came up (or down) using the starboard side elevators and realized we couldn't get across to our cabin because of the Boardwalk! We figured it out after that and it really wasn't a problem, i loved the location. We just had to think about which elevator bank to use! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned that from personal experience on Oasis class ships too… 😁 We would take the stairs on the “wrong side” and end up adding steps to our day 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that all of our devices now use usb-c. We will be bringing our usb charging tower that has 5 c’s and 2 a’s. Only the old USB a outlets. We have the adaptors for USB a to USB c, which works well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cruise starts the day before the Super Bowl so I'm sure we can watch at Playmakers. I am sure they will also have it on the big screens at the Aqua Theater. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually care much about the teams, but I really enjoy the SB commercials, and they don't show them! You get this same ESPN, or whomever promo, every few minutes. I am going to try and avoid it in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity still holds its place in our most expensive cruises, consistantly being above $3300 for a balcony and 2025's Asent Sunset Balcony cost us $2499 for 2. And I consider that a real deal for their newest ship, but we booked so far out it was reasonable... but ICON now holds it for an inside cabin! Another deal at $2400 for in inside accessible. We booked it last October. Booking early is your best bet. Now that cabin would cost us triple what we paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a balcony were not such a great value for 3 people (with diamond discount it works out about the same or sometimes cheaper than interior), this would be our regular spot. 😄 It's been mine on all my Oasis class sailings, I spend naptime there! 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted December 2, 2023 Author #342 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the pricing comment @BecciBoo... Reminded me that I was going to post our prices of cruises. Prices only include RCL cruises with a balcony - somewhat 'apples to apples' since we usually cruise over holidays/summer due to our work schedules. Prices are cruise fees plus taxes, per person, per day (not counting gratuities or extra onboard spending) in a balcony cabin. We were always 3 people in the balcony: Edited December 2, 2023 by APDMOM Date correction 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to cancel our cruise in January on Odyssey, which would have earned us our first crystal block. We thought we would lose that opportunity, because we did not think Royal would keep up with the change... but look: We get our first crystal block on our next cruise. Allure in May. I’m excited!

Rare BecciBoo Posted December 3, 2023 #347 Share Posted December 3, 2023 We were getting our third block for ICON and I had to go and book Voyager for a quicki in March and that may have messed it up. Thinking they'll be giving it to us for Voyager...darn cruise addiction! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted December 3, 2023 #349 Share Posted December 3, 2023 🤣 First breakfast is mainly in Diamond Lounge where he gets our lattes and a pastry. Second breakfast is usually at Rockets or the main dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
