I think you will be ok with 2pm, I didn't see that much tearing down until about 3pm.

I second that sentiment! But only 40 days for us and we are on the same itinerary, watching for Wonder to arrive in St Thomas now!

I just came into this thread just to read as next year we may do the reverse. I now get promotional email that shows me as ELITE (I was Diamond then, but about to make my first cruise as Diamond Plus next week, if there a level above Elite with X?

My Dad told me that all the time.

Thanks! I think we are just going to visit the Magic Kingdom the Friday before we head to the port, we will be happy to just walk in Main St and then spend the day looking around. Taking one day out of the several visiting family in the area before headed to the port.

Nice timing on this photo for me, just coming into the thread and will watch with enjoyment, we are coming down in a few weeks for Wonder, but my wife and I, just starting retirement are going to come early and do one day in the Magic Kingdom, we were there first in 1974 and then many times, but haven't been back since 2003. Can't wait to see it again.

With regard to pricing, there are balcony discounts for the various levels, so giving them your Captain's club number should help. Is that what they call it? After 23 Royal Cruises, we may try X soon.

I wondered about that while watching the sailaway last Sunday, Wonder was docked with her port side facing the terminal, so I saw the wings where empty when she sailed out.

I don't remember if I asked in this thread at all, do they ever let the public out on the bow in this ship? Love being on the bow of the Voyager and Freedom class, but when Oasis Allure came out they only had Diamond events out there, but they quit that in 2016 when we finally made Diamond. Would love to go out there, not sure why.

So much has happened in that 5 years, but I have been thinking about that Symphony cruise a lot with Wonder coming up.

For what its worth, people on our May 26 sailing have had no luck with the app, everything is being done on the website.

Have fun on Allure, still Gina's favorite ship.

That seems reasonable, watching as I am about 50 days away now. I hope @DennysDad comes back and lets us know what happens.

Its been awhile, having been on Freedom in 2008 and 2015, but there is usually activity in the CL until 1am or so, frequently saw Karaoke up there and other entertainment. I think the MDR opened at 6:30am, but that is probably old news.

FWIW, I put in what i think is an extravagant bid on all the sky class suites. I'm thinking its not likely as this is on a holiday week and the ship seems pretty full. The only other time I did a Royal Up bid was on Mariner 2 years ago, but right after I bid on a JS, I found the price was next to nothing on an upgrade to SUITE GUARANTEE which netted me a JS cheaper than the min bid. For this cruise I purchased late and the prices have gone up, I could do other cruises for the price of just upgrading to a JS. Since this is our official retirement cruise, I did put in a bid on these suites. Would love to end up in a Crown Loft Suite. Friends had one on Allure in 2013 and we loved that cabin. Fingers crossed.
