You can try emailing ID_Concierge@rccl.com and asking. However, we we have tried this, they generally reply to contact again after letter. 

Thanks. I may try that when it gets closer but for now I can wait a bit longer.

Generally about 3-5 days out for Suite Guests. 
 

Way too early now. 

I guess that is something else that has changed in the last 3 years LOL we are trying to re-learn RCL. Thanks for the response.

Hello everyone!

It has been about 3 years since we have last sailed with Royal. 3 years ago we got emails for all of our cruises from the concierge about a month out asking if we wanted to book a cabana. We depart on Nov 30 on the Independence and we still haven't received our email. We are really hoping to book an over the water cabana at barefoot beach.

Should I try to find their email address and send them a quick email or should I just wait?

Thanks!

Is there a dedicated suite area on Coco Cay?

There used to be until they redid Coco Cay to make it perfect day at Coco Cay.

I have been checking the drink packages every couple of days for my Nov Indy cruise. It went from $61 to $65. I checked last night and it showed $52 so I booked it for my husband and I. This is the cheapest it has been since we booked our cruise so hopefully it went down for some of you.

I loved the over the water cabana at Labadee better than the cabanas at CocoCay. We had to walk a ways to get into the water at CocoCay whereas the water was right there in Labadee. The suite area is way more private in Labadee and the food was nicer. We saw plenty of fish at both locations so that wasn't an issue.

@Belle Happy Birthday!!! Hope you are enjoying your day!

Hope everyone else is having a great holiday weekend.

@AndyB Great job on the loss!! Your end of the year holidays are almost EXACTLY like ours except my husbands birthday is Oct 6, Son's is Oct 30, then Halloween, Thanksgiving, cruise, Christmas, then my birthday (Dec 28).

I would love to think I won't fall off the wagon but my husband doesn't support IF. If I wait to eat at my normal time then he will say that I am starving myself 🙄 But if I can being strict with my diet when hes not home then hopefully it will be a wash.

Very nice poem today! The last 4 months are always crazy in my family. We have all the holidays and all of our birthdays plus this is our time to cruise. We love the cool weather...hopefully it will come soon!

This week the scale FINALLY budged! I am down 2 pounds!!! I have been eating cleaner and back to intermittent fasting. I am doing 18:6. It worked for me before and seems to be working again.

My husband will be home 3 days this weekend so I know my diet will suffer. I am hopeful that I can get in some exercise.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday.

This weekend my husband was home so we enjoyed time with him and even went to the park since it was semi cool and cloudy and played baseball and soccer with our son. It was great family time and GREAT exercise.

My son is on a weird sleeping schedule. He even napped yesterday which is odd because he hasn't napped in about 3 years. He went to sleep last night around 730 and woke up at midnight and got sick. We have been up ever since. I am ready for a nap LOL Hopefully my weight doesn't go up too much since I have been snacking in order to stay awake.

Awesome!  Thanks for your help!  I love this as an option.  We have 3 straight port days with early starts.  Room service breakfast will be welcomed for sure!  

No problem! Glad I could help. Early port days are the best days to sit on the balcony and enjoy a nice plate of eggs benedict.

We just booked our 10 year anniversary cruise on MSC in the Yacht Club and saved over $600 with my military discount! This will be the first time we cruise in June and our first time on MSC. I am so excited (and shocked!). 

@cruises42 Enjoy your cruise!

Regardless of what RCI ship you're on you can when staying in a GS and up. Enjoy !!

That's awesome to know! Thanks.

Were in a GS on Allure #9244 will we also be able to do this?  Thanks this will be our first time in a suite.

I haven't been on the Allure so I can't answer this question 100% but I would think you could.

oh great!  Glad to know we can order from the MDR breakfast menu!  I would like to order for a specific time in the morning so I'm glad to know we can order the night before.  Thanks for explaining!  Oh and I LOVE eggs benedict!  

 

Is there a menu available in the stateroom for the MDR breakfast/lunch/dinner) or do we have to ask the room steward or concierge for it?  

 

Thanks again!

Breakfast and Lunch were in the folder that is in the room prior to embarkation and dinner menu is usually on the bed the night before when they leave the cruise compass. I believe the dinner menus can also be found in the concierge lounge.

Whenever we stay in a suite and order from the MDR it is usually 30-45 mins for delivery. We order breakfast, lunch, and dinner as we aren't big fans of the buffet. As far as ordering the night before we usually just order when we wake up but you can place an order the night before for a specified time. We do not use the cards you place on your door as we prefer to get eggs benedict, eggs over easy, and french toast.🙂

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions we can answer them as we only stay in suites. 

Congrats on all the weight loss! 

For the umpteenth week in a row I stayed the same. I am also on my monthly so that doesn't really help much LOL I did start taking a daily vitamin since I hardly eat in the summertime. I can't eat when it is hot. Can it be winter already?! 

My cruise is in 100 days and I would love to be 199 so 5 pounds. I started Beachbody exercises back again so hopefully that helps too.

I had a non scale victory. I tried on my favorite shorts. They are a large and a bit snug especially in the thighs but nothing ripped so that's a plus right?!?! 

We are sailing in our first YC cabin June 2020 so I am glad I found this post. I love the idea of having the mini bar tailored for us as we do not drink Gin. I am looking forward to more tips.

I am interested to read your answers. I will try to think of some questions to ask.

When not in my bathing suit and cover up, I am usually in maxi dresses and flip flops. I will change for drinks and dinner. When in port if we are planning on walking a while I will wear shorts and walking sandals.

Does anyone have an extra C&A point I can borrow until after my cruise on Harmony in October??

I'm at 54 and need one point to make Emerald.   (obviously this is a joke...please treat it as such)

We are also at 54 points and waiting until our cruise in November to hit Emerald.

@JennyB1977 Your dinner sounds yummy. I have never heard of the UN diet it sure does sound interesting and I am intrigued to see how it makes you feel after a while of following it.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
