What we've seen on recent cruises is that the Concierge/Suite lounges aren't very busy so this shouldn't impact them at all. I'm thinking they looked at the numbers and decided that this was a way to make it look like they are giving something to them which really doesn't impact them at all. How many Pinns actually cruise with non-Pinns they want to share a cabin with? It only benefits the non-Pinn so there's no incentive for Pinns to do it.

Of course, if they have custody/guardianship, then it would. It appears that isn't the case. I'm guessing Royal for some reason assumed the grandparent was the parent.

We go to eat lunch at a place we've been to many times. Can't do that in port.

We always used to walk it. Takes about 15 minutes. With my knee injury it would take us a bit longer now so we take a regular taxi. Have done the water taxi in the past, but it's easier IMHO to just take a regular taxi.

Not to mention that Coco Cay is already scheduled for two ships basically every single day.

That shouldn't have happened unless he lives with you as a minor.

I had to actually read the thread to figure out what you were asking. Does it make a difference?

We drive or take the train but never carryon anything. With 635 pts we get 3 amenities on most cruises which we use for wine. We absolutely use our vouchers for whatever we want and the whole idea that it's "wasted" to use on anything but alcohol is ridiculous. It's not wasted if you use it. We also end the day with unused vouchers left over. I know that'll give a few a heart attack haha.

Pay as you go never cost us more than a drink package. We're D+ and get 5 free drinks per day. Most people do not get their moneys worth out of a package. A lot report they start out strong but by day 4 or 5, they just can't keep up. Plus, port days it's harder.

We just kept putting off going up to get a reservation. We're back onboard Wonder in Nov in a JS for another b2b so we'll make a point to go. We have friends going on the cruise also who are Pinnacle so hoping we can all eat together there.

Still relevant.

My understanding is that if she doesn't have suite privileges then they will say no. We did two weeks on Wonder in Jan and never even tried to get into CK. We ate there one time on Oasis a few years ago. We only book JS, regardless of ship size or amenities. We love the space.

The ones that then complain there's not enough for their kid to do. They also decide that the solarium pool is a requirement as their child "has to swim" when the outdoor pool is closed because a child decided it was a bathroom (actually happened like 4 times on that cruise). That was only one of many things that happened, including a family getting kicked off for something their teenager did.

How about 700 on Vision class during spring break? We've had that a couple of times.

Why are you making excuses for Royal? The entire point of this thread is that they removed the menus.

It's an 8 day SE coast and Bahamas. We know the menus inside and out. My point was we shouldn't have to go look for them. We didn't have to prior to recently. If you look at my history, you'll see we've done 8 and 12 nights several times out of Baltimore. That wasn't my issue. it's the fact they for whatever reason took the info out of the app.

We're on Vision in a few weeks. Until a few weeks ago, we could see the menus, but now they're gone. The menu was there for our last few sailings (last was in Jan on Wonder) for pretty much the entire time we were booked (months). We shouldn't have to go search for it on other sailings.

Why tiptoe around lol? It's Carnival that announced yesterday the change to scooter policy.

There are plenty of people who report booking them even though they don't really need them. As for the poster you quoted, out of Baltimore, the ship is a small one (Vision currently) and it has much fewer accessible cabins. We always book a JS and have to book early to get one on that class.

LOL. I wasn't paying attention, but they do play it at CC.

DH and I get 6 as D+, so 3 each. It's been 6 every time since they started doing water only. We also get 3 bottles of wine (Pinot Grigio) as we're over 525. DH doesn't drink it but there's really no amenity that he wants otherwise.

Have you heard "Perfect Day" played yet?

My parents lived in Oregon for a few years and used to talk about how they rarely used an umbrella because it mostly drizzled. It rarely rains like it does here on the east coast. Plus, my post was kind of tongue in cheek to your post. You know, as in you would never lower yourself to use an umbrella.

That's because it doesn't really rain there, it drizzles.

Celebrity does. Royal doesn't. Pack a small travel one or cheap ponchos.
