Thanks. And I am in an EV. Bid on an iconic upgrade but don’t think I will be disappointed at all with the EV!! Can’t wait!

I love the way you phrased our chances lol!! And I concur. Will play lotto if it happens!! The EV we have is amazing so it’s a win win either way. 🙂

That was what I was thinking. It is a nice way to keep their margins up and also make others feel like they have won…

Thanks all. Confirms that the odds are poor.. but worth a shot I suppose. Nothing to lose.

I just got the email. Today is 52 days out for us.

Just got an offer to bid on a PH and Iconic for our upcoming sailing. Ship is sold out and final payments are in. Seems like a waste of energy and getting hopes up for something that simply can’t happen… we are in an EV so I am already thrilled, but curious about the rationale here.

How was this experience? Was it worth it? Have an EV booked and debating bidding on the iconic.. would love your perspective having sailed in both.

This is a great approach. Thank you!

Thanks. After spending 20k+ I was hoping not to worry about pennies at all. I have none left 🤣 but that strategy seems right.

Super helpful. Thank you. I am glad the premium package is “included”… not sure it will have much value now. But maybe we just drink less wine this trip 🙂 it’s a good problem to have in life.

How does the premium package work if you want a wine which is only available by the bottle? Can you do that? Is there a price point per bottle that is covered? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find an answer to that question. Many of the wines we like are not available by the glass, so wondering how that would work. we are in an edge villa suite but don’t think that would make any difference? thanks in advance.

Thank you both. I will not try to book in advance then. Surprised the app doesn’t tie my room to the included packages.. but I feel reassured now. I have never booked so close to sailing and was worried we would miss out. This experience feels like a dream come true so I don’t want to have any regrets or surprises.

Thanks for such a quick response.. Will we be charged?

Hi. We booked 15106 in June. When I try to reserve Specialty Dining they want to charge me? I was told this was included? Was I misinformed? I will be very upset as this was part of the reason we decided to pay more for this room. Also, many nights are already sold out- Will we still be able to get in? Starting to panic a bit. Appreciate any insights!!

Thinking of booking them for June. What were the best snorkeling spots? And how much was an extra hour? Also do they pick you up at the cruise terminal? Thanks!!!

Hi- We are beyond excited (no pun intended) for this trip in June. We wanted to do one last really special trip with our son before he goes to college and create lasting memories.. So we splurged. So many conflicting points on this class of ship and accommodation... Would love to know ideas for how we can maximize our time.. What are the best things for teens on this ship? Best dining? (he loves fancy dining) other tricks or perks we should know about? What is included vs not? (so many conflicting posts on that) Are there any venues he cant use, being under 21? If he meets friends, can he bring them to the retreat area? I am also looking on all the other boards for things in the Islands... but will take any thoughts here as well. 🙂 We just booked and many of the excursions are already sold out. It has been a while since we have cruised, and so much has changed, so I genuinely appreciate any tips from all of you.
