Cruise Gopher

It’s open but has always been full.

Currently onboard WOS and there are like 6,200 people on this sailing (why aren’t kids back in school here) and the Windjammer area seems SO small compared to other Royal ships. The seating stops at the crossover bridge thing. There are hardly enough seats. Am I missing something here or did they drastically shrink the seating as compared to other Oasis class?

Same exact thing happened to us on the Symphony of the Seas a few years ago in the Mediterranean. Beach bed in solarium had book and towels on it forever so we finally just took it and put their stuff on a lounger next to it. They came back over an hour later and started yelling at me saying they had gone to lunch at the buffet, blah blah blah. I just layed there and ignored them. Then they went and got a pool attendant and came over and I said “oh there was nothing here when we got here, sorry”. Then some nosey Karens said “they (we) moved your stuff”. More yelling ensued, I continued to ignore them and they eventually went away. You don’t get to go to the buffet and eat a leisurely lunch and hold your spot. Yes I can see running to the bar or running to grab a hot dog or burger, but not a sit down lunch on the opposite end of the ship!!

False alarm, they sent an official PDF email a few minutes later. URHGHHGHGH can't wait for this testing stress to be over with!

I just did my covid test with On Point and it was negative, when I clicked to get my results and pulled it up online it's a VERY VERY generic looking screen showing my negative results. I was expecting some sort of official PDF form. Is this really going to be acceptable to Royal Caribbean?

$20 per day at the very maximum. Also, I’d want the ability to purchase single days only and not be locked into paying for every single day of the cruise. This would be nice if you had to work maybe just 3 or 4 days out of a 7 night cruise and just wanted internet on those days.

Not true. One ways are very common, and easy to do under most corporate and affiliate contract codes.

Not really no.

We are in the same boat, absolutely stressed to the max about the test on Friday. We are masking everywhere in public, staying home isolating until we fly. N95 masks at airport and on planes.

Not yet. I am sailing on 9/4 and have to do the proctored.

For the dining requests, I assume you are talking about specialty restaurants? Because Luminae is just come whenever you want, right?

I’m loving this thread, thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. Can people share what some of their requests have been to the shore side team prior to the cruise? What kinds of things do you ask for? Has anyone requested the Peloton bike for their suite? We have a PH on Millennium in November so I want to make the most of it. SO excited!

I’ve had luck in the past calling the Captain’s Club phone number and requesting them to mail them. That was like 2019 though so I don’t know if it would still work.

Omg 7:15! That is pretty late. Maybe I should switch us to Main seating as we usually like to go around 6.

@Norwich Cruiser do you recall what the earliest My Time Dining time was? I’ve been reading lots of threads about other ships where people say it doesn’t start until 6:45pm and long lines etc. (not specifically about Wonder of the Seas). So I am wondering if you can share your experiences or observations from Wonder of the Seas specifically? thanks!

What is your sail date?

Thanks. We are staying at a limited service hotel so I don’t know if they will print it for me or not. I guess worth a shot.

Anyone had the antipasto platter recently? If so, what was on it?

Anyone know what it is on Wonder of the Seas in Europe? I bought 24 “cans”

I am using On Point and they don’t have an app portal, they just email the results I believe. Can I just show the email from my phone? I won’t have access to a printer.

Did you book through a TA? If so, call them to have them add the prepaid gratuities to your reservation. If you booked direct, then you will need to call them to do it over the phone.

If you already have cruises with Celebrity on the books, just make a payment on the cruise(s) to meet the threshold required for the AMEX offers. You don’t need to book a brand new cruise to qualify.

Is there a piano bar on the ship? Like Schooner bar? If so, how is the piano singer?

The revolution process takes way longer than 1 week. When they re-did the Millennium and the Summit they re-did the inside of every cabin from top to bottom.

Why pay it all right now? Just pay the £1000 to get the AMEX credit and then leave the rest with a balance to pay at final payment time.
