I believe IT has completely messed up the Navigator dining packages.  We are sailing 9/12 and have not been able to purchase the UDP or any specialty restaurant for our 3 night sailing.  Nothing is available to book until night 4.  I have been able to start the reservation all the way up to putting in my credit card number.  I really don’t think they will let us back on the ship for dinner.  
 

This cruise is a 3 night Mon through Thurs due to the Cabo 5 and 7 night sailings.  

I am also on this sailing and couldn't get any specialty dining booked. MTD starts night 4, which isn't a thing. 

It is just $100 off. I used one for a B2B Nav sailing where the first 5N was comped and the 3N after was reduced by $100. I sail solo.

1600 threshold was because the 2021 season started in June/July. Therefore, not enough opportunities for points. 2022 is a full cruise year so back to the original threshold.

You need to play at the casino with your seapass card in the slots or give to the game host for table games. Anyone who plays at least a dollar will become CHOICE and then after the 2500 point is met you become PRIME. 

I am doing a B2B on Nav in Sept that is a casino comp. I brought Zoom for the first 5N cruise but the 3N cruise I will use my D internet and Prime internet discount.

Is there a reason why you are purchasing OBC rather than just paying your onboard account at the end of the cruise?  

Some people prefer to have as much paid for their vacation as possible. 

You just need to go to the C&A loyalty desk and they will fix it for you. 

I recall another person was doing the same thing and they spoke with Royal and got transportation. Call the regular customer service and see if it can be arranged. 

I went to one on my Jan 24th Mariner. There was free champagne but only after you had been there for an hour. I liked one piece and they wanted $975 on sale......they have lost their minds.

On Jewel it was 34.99 and definitely was included. And quite tasty. All 4 times we went. 

Well Jewel isn't Independence.

Not saying Izumi isn't included but that it's a credit and not the prefix meal. 

I found out on the 20th for a Jan 24th cruise.

FYI the prefix meal is not included with UDP. It's a $35 credit. There is a difference. The prefix meal is $39.99 plus gratuity on the smaller ships it seems. 

You will have to reserve when you are on board. Eventually they will show up in the planner but being able to reserve like you once did beforehand is still not a thing. Some shows will require a reservation, and a few are a first come, first served situation

I am currently doing S2S2S. I had to get my TA to call shoreside to get Indy to test me for my Harmony sailing. I'm in star class on Harmony so my Genie set up testing, which I literally just completed, for my Mariner that leaves Mon. Saw plenty of people testing to either stay on or transfer to another Royal ship. If it is within the 2-day timeframe, they will test you on the ship. If it is within the 3-day timeframe specified in the FAQs under B2B, they will most likely give you an eMed test. 

They will give you a smaller glass always or a can. They won't actually fill any reusable cups. They will give you multiple cups to fill your yeti with a free items.

Celebrity constellation was with us in St.Thomas. Went to the gym and saw 3 people in the whole thing. Spa and the salon were empty.

Our Genie Alexa told us St.Thomas was back on.. personally I would have rather had the credit.

Also there was a bartender on the suite deck. Hardly any people but fully staffed in all the places opened to guest

Keeping the harmony thread going on.

On harmony now in the solarium that doesn't have pools. Absolutely no one on the suite deck. I am in the 4 bedroom villa with @AshleyDillo and we have seen almost no people as we walk the halls. They gave away a CLS during bingo and will give away another in the casino tonight.

We have heard 2100. Had Chops last night and were the only people in the section until almost dessert. This was around 7pm.  Was some rain and fog eat but nice,  humid and sunny now. The villa is huge for 4 people.

It appears to be the ships with the most infections and not related to FL. I sail Indy on the 10th, I have received nothing saying it has been cancelled, in fact haven't heard about infections either, the same with mariner.

I sail Monday and got my email around 4:40pm today. I am okay with this. We have to have patience and fortitude to sail during these times. Since I am sailing solo, it will be easy.

I am on Indy Jan 10th, Harmony 1/16 and Mariner the 24th. The only way I won't be cruising is if I test positive. Chicago is bracing for a snowstorm. I am tired of this weather. I will cruise to nowhere as long as I can get some sun.

I'm on Indy Jan. 10th, and I am undecided. I'm hoping my daughter and I can dodge the covid-19 bullet here in NJ and we can make it to Florida with no issues. 

I am also on this sailing. 

I cruise on the 10th of Jan for almost 3wks. Unless I end up positive, I am still going. I am vaxxed, booster'd and continue to practice safe living. Who knows what may take me, so I am going to continue to live life.

I know someone currently sailing and the suite lounge drink list is in play. There have been live blogs that post that list. It is like 5 reds, 6 whites, maybe 6 different beers and then the list of liquors. Also, not just on Allure but all Oasis and quantum class ships that include suite drinks.

I have 27 days until I sail, and it is part of a S2S2S.

When was your allure sailing? That is not current policy in allure 

It is current policy I sailed in Oct, Halloween. There is a list for free suite drinks. Free drinks, not all drinks up to $13. Again, I think many people are thinking about C&A vouchers. From 5-8:30 they make drinks from this list. For example, Titos and soda could be a $13 drink you can get with vouchers, but you can't get that during HH because Titos wasn't on the list.  However, I could order said Tito's in the SL because it is available, but I would have to pay........unless i was using D/D+/P vouchers.

I have booked refundable deposits that were probably $50-100 more and then I have priced some that were in $1000s lol.......for a room that didn't even cost that much. There are many factors that determine how much it will be. It comes done to what you are willing to pay for in this case, peace of mind if something arises and you need to cancel.
