Icon of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!
BecciBoo replied to Lloyd555's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It started out at 99$ per ride, then on the inaugurals there were no takers so they reduced it to$39.99 and then lately even $19.99 was seen on a port day. IMHO as long as you do Oasis class zip lines for free, my guess is, they'll eventually do it free...but we'll have to see. -
Same here, at least a dozen Costa Maya and at least 8 times to CoCo and we docked or tendered and had great days at all of them. In fact in 27 years of cruising we NEVER had any port cancelled even in Hurricane Ivan which diverted our fight to Fl.

We agree, we've been trying others since Nachi was sold to a new owner I think in 2020. We went to Allegro Cozumel just south of Nachi through Resort For a Day last September and had a great time, but again somewhat disappointed with food, property was perfection. We've been to Paradise once before and had a great time, I got so fuzzy I don't remember what the food was like, but booked it again for our Jubilee cruise.

OK just had to...doesn't all the 25 or so years of cruising memories have any value at all? We love to cruise and won't give it up until we topple out of our wheelchairs, doesn't have anything to do with perks, although once many years ago, we did a B2B, just the one with a 3 day and a 4 day on Majesty, just to say we did one and it made us Diamond. We were then ecstatic we got the balcony discount and started doing those a lot, we loved being in the lounge and getting way more than 4 drinks too. But when the vouchers came along, we stopped going in the evening. They took away the priority boarding line and we were disappointed at that since we'd done so many trips and were stripped of that perk, but we would still cruise RCCL if there were no perks at all. You gotta get away to where the boats come from right? So like I said, less cruises but we'll still be sailing and happy to have what's left of them. Whether it's on other lines too or not.

Recently diagnosed diabetic

They don't need this information. I think most people who've been diagnosed know enough about what to avoid. -
It might not be the same, but I think it's doing just fine. I love the newer ships, we'll just cruise more infrequently...but I'm not dissatisfied at all. Just disappointed that things all over are more expensive...I still remember when gas was .24 a gallon and a loaf of bread cost .35! That's life.

BecciBoo replied to stuckintexas's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Of course, I've been T2 for about 15 yrs~! But I allow some carbs on a cruise, but not sugar or most starches. Everything has carbs but meats, doesn't anyone know that. -
There was nothing but late seating left since we just booked her and we leave in 3 weeks so I called and mentioned this very thing to the rep and she laughed at me! Anytime dining was not even available to click on "waiting list"... but she said she got us on it. My only hope is to work it out with the MtrD onboard.

I am D2 and I find no trouble whatsoever keeping to a diabetic diet. I tell my servers from the get go, no potatoes, rice or other starches, no bread, no 😠rolls, no deserts except sugar free. And they do have coconut cake and key lime pie with no sugar, just make your requests the first night and they will be glad to help. We're pretty much carnivores on cruises and there is no limit to the protein choices. -
Carnival Jubilee Feb 2024 - funtimes, menus, etc
BecciBoo replied to weezal's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Nope I tried several times: the only dot that worked was the late seating one. I couldn't even get the one under Waiting List Times to process on my PC. I may just call them tomorrow and see if an agent can do it!
