I carried a case of soda on recently with no questions asked. It was a good workout for the arms as it got a little heavy towards later in the journey to the room cabin.

They will also offer a Bill W meeting onboard so tell your sober spouse to be on the lookout for this meeting. Only 2 of us showed up for the meeting on a cruise I took in December 2023 but maybe more will show up on your cruise. Have a great cruise!

Surprised they are not using the Magic Carpet to tender or does Ascent not have this feature?

Word of caution on the non-alcoholic beers. I tried this(after my doctor said to abstain from drinking) for about 3 weeks and I was soon again drinking beer and other things with alcohol in it. My own experience tells me that this was not the answer for me. Just wanted to share my experience with you. Have a great trip!

Stayed in 7309 on the Edge(a corner sky suite) and did not hear a thing from Eden on a 7 night cruise. I liked this location but you will get full sun on your deck for most days and the walk is longer to most areas but you can also hear the waves from this position on the ship.

To clarify, you can get the non-alcohol package and she can get either alcohol package but you need to call them to explain why this needs to happen.

Yes. You need to call them to request this. She can upgrade anytime.

I originally booked the same type of room as you and went to buy the Classic drink packages and realized that for about the same amount of $ spent, I could move up to Aqua and get the drink packages,Blu, and spa included. I thought it was a good move. Blu was well worth the upgrade!

I could hear the waves but barely. The room is in a great location as one set of stairs and you are at Oceanview cafe while going out the door, you are on the walking track one level above the pool and Solarium. Down hall and one set of stairs from the Sunset bar. I would stick with it if I was in your shoes! Have a great time!

We were on the Summit(same M class sized ship) in mid December in Aqua class room 1122 and you could here some noise on deck 12 from the movie. It was not loud but you could hear it. I think the wind direction had to be just right to hear the movie that was playing.

I brought on a case of Inca Kola Diet(a soda) in Miami and no one said a word. Nice to have it on the ship.

It wasn't the band as much as the DJ playing music that was loud and obnoxious. It certainly was not what the most of us wanted to hear. If it was my choice, 70's and 80's music would have been played at a lower decibel level.

I was on the same cruise and it was a pleasure meeting you. I found the music content at the outside pool in the afternoon to be not what the average age of the people on board want to listen to. I spoke to many folks who did not like the content of the music as well. Just my opinion and I did let them know my thoughts while on board and after in the survey.

Maybe their cameras will freeze up due to the cold weather and no one will see the game other than those that attend in person!

Good luck on viewing the Saturday night game Dolphins vs. Chiefs as it is only being shown on Peacock(a streaming outlet). This will be the first ever NFL playoff game where one has to pay to watch it.
