Just wanted to give an update to Complimentary Coco Beach Club Cabana! It was legit and my Brother & Sister In Law were not charged for it. They are Diamond Plus members, the same cruise they paid for a junior suite but were also upgraded to a grand 1 bedroom suite (but was told by RC this probably will not happen in the future). They always book all their cruises through Costco. Coco Beach Cabana was our best day. Food and service was amazing. It was just very relaxing and chill. If I could split the cost with 6+ people I would pay for this in the future. I would just consider it an all day excursion. We wanted to spend another day here.

Thank you! We may just do the early seating time of 5PM. It was still available last we checked. since there are 3 sea days, arrival day and only one late port day, 5 might be doable.

Well I got my Sister In Law all nervous so she called Royal Caribbean and made sure she had a zero balance and she does. They did say she lucked out with the room upgrade because they don't do that anymore because of Royal Up. She did not ask about Cabana because she didn't want it to go away. I've traveled with them a lot over the years and am very close to them, we always do same excursions so us saying no to something doesn't happen. But she would never pay that much for cabana. They have been loyal customers for close to 20 years, traveling all over the world. They have around 375 Cruise points. I will update after our cruise.

Diamond plus get a room upgrade if that is available, so that upgrade makes sense. They are not big gamblers. She wouldn't drop more than $100 in the Casino. She was going to call on it but was afraid they would take it away. It shows as a charge but they never charged her credit card. She can't even attempt to Royal up this cruise I sent her the link. She did Royal up in the Spring with her Daughter on a 10 Day Mediterranean cruise. She is going to call on it to put her mind at ease.

This gives me a chuckle. Trust me they would never pay $1538 for a cabana for one day. It shows up on her account as a credit for $1538 which in her words "That's Crazy!"

We are lucky to be cruising with Diamond plus Brother and Sister In Law at the end of the month. Apparently they were comped a Cabana almost 2 months ago for our 10/30 sailing. Is this something that normally happens? They are allowed 8 people total. Seems like a very generous gift considering they are sold out for our day at Coco Bay. They were also upgraded from Junior Suite to Grand Suite. We are Gold so no perks for us worth celebrating but looking forward to a relaxing cruise.

I have not cruised in 9 years, and this is our first time selecting My Time Dinning. We are cruising with total of 6 family members 3 separate reservations. What time does the My Time Dinning room open? I know it suggests reservations but earliest reservation is 7:15 PM. The whole point to my time is flexibility. All our reservations are linked so my sister in law can make reservation for all of us. I am hoping because she is a Diamond Plus member maybe earlier times show up for her. Any recent experiences would be appreciated.
