Utopia of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!
twangster replied to Lloyd555's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The Orlando airport experience leaves a lot to be desired and parking isn't cheap. -

It also holds the title for the smallest amount of parking. 🤣 Can you imagine how bad it will get with the two biggest OA class using T1? -
I made my cruise! However I don't do trip reports every cruise and I'm not doing one this cruise. Sometimes you just gotta cruise! 😎

Icon 2 🤣 -
It sounds like you would like A2S to avoid close connections but then you find fault with A2S for offering long connections. If the connections were legal they can be sold. It's not the role of A2S to protect you from yourself. Flight delays happen. I'm encountering one right now on my way to a cruise with air booked through A2S. Flight last night didn't happen so I just boarded a plane this morning and now I'm flying the day of the cruise. If this one delays as well I won't be cruising today. I knew the risks associated with booking the last flight of the night, the day before the cruise. A2S cannot overcome everything the airline industry might throw at us. I think you have the wrong expectations.

It is a periodic travel agent call. It does appear that Utopia will start doing 3 and 4 night cruises. At this point we don't know how long that will go on. It appears as though it will be well into 2025 but these are the details we expect to learn next week. -

Great. I'm on a ship next week. Ugh. Maybe I'll get good NextCruise agents. 🙂 -
10 Drink Card at Embarkation

This appears to be from Christmas of 2017 (or earlier). Over at Royal Caribbean Blog dot com they have Grandeur Cruise Compasses from over the years. Somewhere around June 2018 they switched formats. Prior to June 2018 they used the format: ------------- HEADING TITLE---------------- Text about the special of the day For example: After June 2018 they started using: Heading Title Text about the special of the day For example: Since the photo uses the old format of ------------- SEA DAY BEVERAGE PACKAGE SPECIAL!---------------- This appears to be from Christmas of 2017 (or earlier) -

Flights for Oh Canada Day eh were way cheaper into BUF but enough of this plain talk. Let's talk some ship. -

Navigator is 20 years old. The class of ship was designed a decade before that. People didn't have so many gadgets back then and CPAP machines were not that commonly carried on vacation. Neither were cell phones (carried by everyone on vacation) in the early1990's during the design phase of those ships. A lot has changed and now newer ships have features old ships do not. Quantum class ships have an outlet on one side of the bed near the lamp by the nightstand.

There is no question about the convenience of deck 17, all things being equal. The biggest reason to look at the JY is the low price point to gain Sky Class perks compared to deck 17 and 18 suites. -

I think that is a safe assumption. -

It is pretty much a Junior Suite except it has Sky Class perks instead of Sea Class perks. Spectrum has some but on Spectrum they are located in the Golden suite area. Oasis class has long had a number of Sky Class suites that are not deck 17. This is just another example of a Sky class suite that isn't in close proximity to the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen. I've stayed in a GS on deck 6 close to where the JY are on Utopia and loved the area. Close to everything down low. The only catch was riding the elevator to CK. -

Not through Royal. Some FB groups may track Genies, at least current assignments. I'm not sure anyone knows of future crew assignments.

I suppose anything could happen and she could be delayed to Nov. 18. Like maybe a crane falls on her. 🤣
