We booked in February for August and our cruise planner was open for drink packages, dining, spa and specialty dining.

I have been looking over the Cruise Compasses from a few Eastern Itineraries as we are sailing Eastern in a few months. However our ports are different than the Compasses that I've found. The ports on the Compass Itineraries I've seen are Nassau, St Thomas and St Maarten, the ports for our cruise are St Maarten, San Juan and Labadee. Anyone have the Compass for this specific Itinerary? It wouldnt match the other Eastern Itinerary as it's two sea days to start the cruise, while the other Eastern Itinerary is Nassau day 2. Our Itinerary we are in Port days 4,5,6.

Thanks :)

I found on the excursions I booked you can see the times the excursion is offered before the payment screen. You might need to remove it from your cart too after mock booking it if you don't purchase.

Very interesting!

We went on the Dream two years ago, and I agree, didn't measure up to RC. And I haven't been on a RC ship in 10 years! We took our two daughters (7 and 2 at the time). They loved it, but they didn't have anything to compare it to as it was their first cruise. We booked late (like 6 weeks before the cruise) and were left with the late dining time. My two year old slept on the table two of the three nights. The price was honestly outrageous for a three night cruise (could have been due to booking so late, but comparing prices now, it looks like thats the norm) My husband and I are going on Oasis in August and we are paying significantly less for a seven day cruise than we spent for the four of us for 3 nights. I will say my kids loved it, loved meeting all the characters, but honestly, they'd probably love RC for the Dreamworks characters. I will say that Castaway Cay was very nice but Coco Cay is nice too. Maybe not as kid friendly, but to me just about the same. I'd probably do any cruise line over doing Disney again. It was something I feel I only needed to experience once.

136 to go!

Following! Enjoy your trip! Thanks for letting us follow along!

Do they ever go on sale in the cruise planner like the beverage packages/spa treatments/ Internet do?

Thanks :)

I'm with you. We booked direct thru RC as well because I thought it would be easier to go thru them and have complete control over our reservation. We've had to call numerous times and every time it's like pulling teeth to find out what's going on. Yesterday, with the new sale I called and wanted to change our room and I was basically fought on it saying we locked in at the lowest rate, 45 minutes later, finally got the room I wanted, with the onboard credit with the new promo yesterday and it was about 100 difference. Customer service lady sure was fighting me on it. Not impressed with the pre cruise service either!

Family members had expedited passports done a few weeks ago and it took a little over a week.

I just renewed mine and it took less than 3 weeks to get it back just by the regular renewal process. It did state it could take up to 6 weeks though.

Sure you didn't have more than a glass of mimosa? ;-)

This sounds like a blast! I'm wondering what ship you are on as well!

Well that's no good. For some reason I thought I read somewhere they showed up on day 2. Thanks for the info guys!

I've seen the ship also sells drink cards for 10 drinks for 80 dollars or so and it's like a punch card so you can drink as you wish but it's kind of discounted at the same time. I think this is the route I'm going with on our upcoming cruise as I don't drink much and the package would be too much

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think if you use Sabor on the dining package, you're given $30 towards your dinner.... at least that's how I've understood it

We tried to get ours switched to the soda package instead of the wine, casino ect like perks the boardwalk balconies have offered. It was a resounding NO. We may or may not have asked more than once. [emoji3]

We have now switched to an ocean balcony which has no perks.

We held a cruise for this summer for 24 hours and they offered us a bottle of wine and cheese if we booked.

I'm kinda in the same boat. We are trying to figure out Oasis dining too. Also, I saw you could use the Galley brunch as a "dinner" if you're buying the 3/4/5 package.

I used a myVEGAS reward the day we booked our cruise. I "purchased" my OBC reward thru myVEGAS and it gave me the instructions on how to redeem. (It's an email address you have to send your reward number on OBC voucher, reservation number, name, sail date.)

It states one reward per cabin, not per person

I emailed and the following day I had my OBC showing on my account

Super easy!
