Damn, I was hoping mine was super rare. 🤣 Thanks @crzndeb & @HicksRA.

Does anyone else have the font I have for my old style Harmony? I earned it in June 2022 and received it 5-6 months later. Every post-covid old version I've seen pics of has the above font but look at mine...

No surprise there. My March 2024 spring break Wonder booking looks like a great price compared to the current online price but historically it would have just been a decent price. My June 2024 Wonder isn't that great (although still significantly lower than online) but this is the new normal, especially for newer ships during busy seasons. Bring on Utopia! 🙈

You get your 1st at 140, then every 70 thereafter... 210, 280, etc.

We never got one last year and I didn't even realize we were crossing 140 so I took care of it over the phone afterwards. My in laws got the paper I mentioned on Wonder earlier this month. Like many things, it can vary.

I stand corrected.

You win, mine only took 5-6 months.

You should receive a letter in your cabin on the cruise during which you reach/pass 140. It will give you the option of having it delivered on the ship (if in stock), having it mailed to you (which may or may not take a while), or you can decline it. If you don't get a letter, you can go see the loyalty ambassador.

I don't expect to ever amass much of a collection but that's probably how I'd feel. I got my first one late last year (old style) so at least the oddball will be special, lol. FWIW, Wonder was still giving out the old style as of last week. My in-laws got their first and I was expecting a new one.

You get your first at 140 pts, then every 70 pts thereafter.

I’ve read several reports of couples being able to book any nights they want (as along as booked on day 1 or 2). Sounded like yet another “it varies” situation. It’s advanced prep for me. 7 more points til D+…

Magic beans! If you plant them maybe you can grow a beanstalk that grows into the sky?

Central Park Balcony. If you look across… other people’s balconies. If you look down, Central Park. Here’s one a few cabins down…

The one thing that could make me immediately stop cruising!

Famine on a cruise ship??? Noooo! 🤣 Sorry, couldn’t help it. I’m fine with kids on the ship. I kinda have to be since my wife is a teacher. A lot of the new extra stuff just doesn’t appeal to me (except the included food).

Am I the only one who doesn't actually want Icon to come to PC?

That's what a good TA is for, or so I've been told. 😁

That idea seems to be changing though. Miami also used to be the #1 port but now it's PC and short PDCC cruises produce tons of revenue from what I've read. It's doesn't matter a ton to me. I'm guessing they didn't flip flop Wonder and Utopia b/c it would have involved holding back bookings on Wonder until they were ready to release Utopia.

Have them call C&A, make sure she gets her own C&A number if she doesn't have one, then ask for them to be linked. They should be able to make her Diamond before the cruise.

She prefers to be called “Party Animal”. They’re nearly identical ships. Wonder is closer to “new” than “not that old.”

I understood that part, although for all I know you really are a party animal. 🤷‍♀️ I wasn't kidding about us though. 🙈 I really didn't find our Indy short cruises in July all that different from 7-nighters in the summer. There were still lots of kids, the Solarium was still the Solarium, trivia was trivia, etc. Maybe if we actually went where the party animals go I'd notice, lol.

And we'll be some of the younger (OK, maybe not THAT young anymore) boring people onboard... so it all evens out. 🤣

Neither will we but we did enjoy our last 3/4 B2B to enjoy the ship and CocoCay x2. Hoping for a repeat. 🤞

The countdown clock will hit zero at 10am et on 6/20.

I think you may have a good deal of company.
