Don't worry about it... We had the same thing happen to us on Adventure in February. We arrived at 10:35 and they checked us both in. We were onboard the ship by 10:55.

I did this on our Harmony cruise back in December... So that we could maximize our Diamond balcony discount we listed my wife and I in separate cabin and my daughter and son in law each in one of our cabins. I bought the DBP for me and RP for my alleged cabin mate. I did this all by calling in. A better sale came along for the RP and I was able to cancel the RP online and repurchase it without problem. There was only 5 or 10 minutes or so where the two weren't purchased so if I had cancelled and never repurchased I don't know what would have happened. Probably they would have canceled the DBP but at least I was able to take advantage of the RP sale without having to call in. YMMV

One way to get a bit of an earlier indication is to watch for new pending charges on your RoyalUp listed credit card. When you see a pending charge you know your bid has been accepted. It won't be a lot earlier but when waiting every little bit counts.

My experience is similar... We use one bag of wash and fold every 7 days, usually day 5. Generally, it's underwear t-shirts, swim shorts and socks. I've never had an item come back with any damage at all. Knock on wood.

I had one on Harmony back in December and I think I remember Hibachi being excluded. It'll be in the fine print of the certificate.

58.347% to be more precise. 🙂

I like staff taking care of it. It's cleaner and when there is a line it moves faster.

My daughter and 2 grand daughters are gluten free and really enjoyed Giovanni's on Harmony.

I feel bad for the kid...

I was on Adventure last month and didn't notice anything (not saying you aren't). I wonder what changed?

I have one in my hand within 90 seconds of getting on board 😉

I think the ultimate version would be what they are doing this year. 12 day TA at the end of April on Anthem to Southampton, a 2day short cruise to Paris to get the ship on the right schedule and then the 7 day Norwegian fjord cruise to wrap it up. I'd spend a few days in London afterwards as well. I know that won't happen with the current redeployments and the change to cruising in Norway... We'll see how it all unfolds.

I wish... 🙂 What the plan is is to do the EB TA and then make it a B2B and stay on for at least one more cruise. I'd do two more if it possible but I'm not sure if I can swing that. I've done a good number of Caribbean and have quite few more already on the books. The EB TA allows some new itineraries on the subsequent cruises that wouldn't be possible if came WB Also, timing is one of the reasons too. My 60th b-day is February and by the end of April I'd like to be sliding into semi-retirement.

I'd love to do one but the plan for my first TA is April/May 2026. I'm eagerly awaiting their deployment next year. If I could have gotten an east bound TA that did the arctic that would have been amazing 🙂.

No, it's not a benefit anymore... You get special times for the flowrider and Rockwall and the public ice skating but not to bypass the lines during regular times.

Are the Arctic TA's only done westbound?

It is not included or charged separately. If you want to tip you can do so with cash or if they give you a receipt (hit and miss with the receipts). I generally cough up $2. Others might do more or less.

For the main theatre the reserved seating is mostly redundant. There is lots of great seating available for almost every show. The ice shows often fill up but the main there is usually anywhere from 2/3 to 1/3 empty.

Navigator is a great ship! I've sailed her several time as well as other voyager and freedom class ships. Navigator is the best. I hope she stays a long time. Quantum is now coming and you'll not likely ever see an Oasis class ship. I'd way we have all we could hope to have here. What would you replace her with!

They are 1 L Evian

Three Alaskan cruises and never seen a blanket in my room for that purpose... I saw people wrapped up in them up on the deck but never bothered to find out where they came from.

eleven people were shot in Atlanta in the last 24 hourst. I'm not worried about Jamaica.

All depends on the fee. If you are going to enjoy a relaxing beach day it's going to cost you something... Folks are paying for Nachi Cocom and Mr Santos, why not a Royal Caribbean one that offers what those offer but allows you to take advantage of your drink package or loyalty perks. Sounds like a winning offer to me.

Yes, order the refreshment package. They can order frappes at Cafe Promenade as well as any other non alcoholic beverage they desire.

I mis spoke, I meant to say I hadn’t been on Allure. I’ve been on Oasis. 🤪
