Lots to see if you like to 'people watch' ! Also watch the parades if you are feeling lazy . We have always paid the difference when booking inside to upgrade to Promenade ... Until last fall. We did b2b.. Symphony (boardwalk balcony ), followed by Explorer (Promenade ). At the end of the week we realized we hadn't opened our curtains since the first day . After that we saw a great price for Wonder a couple months ago but price only good for an inside , so decided to give it a try , and loved it!! We enjoyed the Prom view for many cruises ( And you will too ) but will no longer spend the extra to upgrade if choosing an inside cabin , Cheers

D+ with 5 free drinks per day and still gonna buy the drink package ? GL finding your room !

15 mins. for a slice ??? I guess when the OP praised Sorrento's efficiency I understand why . I never wait more than 2 mins at Sorrento's and sometimes when ur Hangry that feels long ! Cheers

...11 nighter to Curacao ! Much nicer than Grand Cayman , JMHO Cheers

Though the obnoxious part is bang on , the clean your plate part is completely false ! You can order a second Entree at the same time as your first , they just wont bring it to you until you are "done" with the first . 1 bite or cleaned plate doesn't matter ! Cheers

It's one thing to expect the airline to screw up my luggage , but this adds another layer. At least it would be on the way home when I wouldn't need to $tress about it

My drinks , after the conversion to Canadian bucks , are approx. $19 a piece .... So ya , i'll quite value the vouchers !! Cheers

Awesome , that was my assumption Thx

If a cruise is cancelled last minute (a week out ) , Will I be refunded the pre paid Grats , as well as port fees and taxes ? Or just the Grats ?? Thanks

Oh , sweet , so basically it "Links " them for you then !?!

He beat me to it ! Math generally separates truth from fallacy

Yikes.. Don't hold your breath on that request . It's not a given anymore , and definitely not every night

I feel it would be much more convenient for you to link the Reservations . If you don't link , when you are going to booking all sorts of meals, shows, etc. you would have to punch in reservation numbers each time , whereas if you link them it will be clicking a box each time instead . Seems much less of a hassle Cheers

I agree completely !! If they are going to list it as a benefit of a certain level .... Then you should be able to access said benefit !!! , Otherwise it's a sham .

Also fresh squeezed OJ < specialty coffes , JR's shakes , And ... If you don't happen to use them all in a particular day , grab a beer or soda at the end of the day to store in the fridge for when u may want an extra ! Cheers And as Mike said ... if it doesn't entice you ... fair enough , probably NOT gonna find much value anywhere else !

Really , thoughts for the majority (myself included ) ,is that the first substantial benefit isn't achieved until Diamond when the free drinks start flowing . If you are a drinker at all , this will really add up to a TRUE financial benefit ! I have never bought the drink package as it is not worth it to me , however I do have a substantial 'bar bill' at the end of each cruise .Diamond gives me nearly $800 off of that bill for a 7 day for 2 of us . Cheers.....And Cheers again !

>>> Wonder why that is ?!? Cheers

Humorous how so many complain , but are also quick to join in ...

Well there.... You are the first I have heard refer to NCL's dining as chaotic...

I'm not sure I buy that theory as from what I understand most times specialty dining on Royal is hard to get reservations for , so they too should be spread out by that theory.. ?! Cheers

I have not experienced how other lines handle this properly ... (consistently) , with the exception of 1 NCL cruise that opened my eyes to the possibility , .... But I hope Royal can figure it out ! Based on my cruises since Restart , Royals MDR dining in general , is a $.hit show Cheers

You seem to be forgetting the part where (unless removing the auto Grats ) Everyone is tipping the first time around ! This is where the system is skewed for the worse ! So maybe you are suggesting remove the Auto grats and tip appropriately ?! Not what I am looking to do . Cheers ...And (?)

>>>> YIKES !!

I believe the cruising public will determine this one ! Cheers

>>>Ouch
