So glad it worked for you!! Enjoy 😄

I appreciate your write up. We are sailing on the Caribbean and had purchased 2 Thermal Suite passes for the week for $149 each as you stated. We ended up upgrading our CC/RC mini-suite to a window suite which includes free access to the Thermal Spa so I was able to cancel the passes. We actually saved $22 in the process and I feel better knowing that if we don't like the Thermal Suite, we didn't waste money on it.

I just booked ours yesterday and we are 60 days out.

We are in a suite on the Caribbean Princess and I was able to book our free first night SD on the app and was not charged. It showed the price and then a credit with a final amount due of -0-. I wish I had taken a screen shot, but it worked just as it should.

Good choice! Bigger bathroom and all the perks that come with the mini is a no brainer. Glad it worked out for you!!

Izena - I can't imagine running across snakes on your walks - even if they are not dangerous! I guess we all get used to nature in our own areas, but yikes! Jan - so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. Glad your grandson conquered his fears onboard and you all had a great time! Praying for your family. Belle - love and appreciate your encouragement! Today I weighed in 1.2 lbs less than last week. I've lost 15 lbs in the past 90 days and have about 16 to go to meet my cruise weight goal with 64 days to do it. Weather is finally getting nice enough to get out and walk again but meanwhile I've been doing yoga to get some exercise in. My golf leagues start next week so that will help with moving as well. We have another birthday party on Saturday for one of our granddaughters but I plan to eat ahead of time and stick to water - wish me luck!!

We have Princess Plus and I ordered our medallions and a couple bracelets last Sunday (4/23/23) for our upcoming cruise in July. We were NOT charged a shipping fee.

I was able to book our included SD reservation after we upgraded to a suite. I did this before final payment and was not charged. When I did it through the app, it showed the charge and then a credit resulting in a -0- balance due.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood.

I definitely find weekends harder. Seems every weekend we have something going on - dinner with friends, birthday parties for the grandkids, dinner theater tickets, etc. Week days are easier for me to stick to my routine so I try to be really good during the week and do the best I can on weekends.

I booked SD and later cancelled to book a different restaurant and received a credit back to my credit card a couple days later. I also booked 2 thermal suite passes and then later cancelled after upgrading to a suite which includes complimentary passes. Those charges were also refunded to my card within a couple days.

Hi everyone! I went out with friends last Friday after having a good weigh-in the day before. Well, I set myself back a week 😞 I should know not to go out with friends on a Friday in Wisconsin - fish fry, old fashioneds, and ice cream drinks are not good for my diet. Also didn't help that we went from beautiful 80 degree weather to snow this week which prevented me from getting out to walk. Today my weight is the same as las week, so no loss for me, womp womp. Buuuut I am seeing a difference in the mirror and in how my clothes fit so I'll take those non-scale victories and be better this week! I'm still (barely) on track to meet my goal by our cruise day so it's not all bad. Wishing everyone a good week and happy scales next Thursday! Congrats on the loss Susan and hope you're doing good Belle!

So the Cubs probably won't be "big" enough for a random July game either? jk, but hoping it's on in one of the bars!

Hi yes! I'm in Genoa City, work in Lake Geneva. I have a niece who went to school in Platteville 😄 I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting your routine back!

Ugh - sorry about that Alabaster - how frustrating!! Happy to say I was really good over Easter. We took my mother-in-law to brunch and I didn't cheat at all. Even with 7 grandkids, no candy either! I'm down 2.2 lbs today which I am thrilled with. I started walking this week now that we finally have some good weather in Wisconsin and it feels great to be outside and moving more. I'm nearly 1/2 way to my goal before our cruise and if I keep up the pace, I'll be there about 2 weeks before we leave - which I'll need to buy some new clothes! Love the WEIGHING analogy - hope everyone has a good week!

Have a great trip!!

Wow, you’d think they would fix that being an ADA cabin!

I received a detailed receipt from my TA after booking that shows all our reservation details, payments, OBC, etc. You can also view your OBC on the website by first logging into your account, then click on the "payments" icon as shown in the screen shot below. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see your OBC credits. Total Onboard Credits $125.00 $25.00 $150.00 Shareholders Benefits* $100.00 $0.00 $100.00 Travel Agent Grp Promotion* $25.00 $25.00 $50.00 *Please enjoy using these credits onboard as they are not refundable.

Our OBC from our TA shows in our account and has since we paid our deposit last July. We made 2 SD reservations a couple days after booking and paid by credit card. We are 1st time cruisers and just assumed OBC was for use while on board, which seems that it is. OP, if I were you, I’d just pay the SD fee now and enjoy the OBC during your trip so you don’t have to stress about getting a reservation.

Thank you. Luckily we are not booked in that cabin and hopefully our window suite won’t have flooding issues in the bathroom.

Sad to hear the suite perks weren't there. You would think the staff knows which should be provided. Can I ask which cabin # you were in?

I almost forgot I was in this thread, but I finally got my act together and started losing. I’m down 11 pounds overall (since mid February) and lost .6 this week which was great considering I went out of town last weekend and it was my birthday on Wednesday. The best part is that I’M UNDER 200 lbs this morning!!! I’m trying to get to 185 by the end of June for our July 1-8 cruise. Thanks for the inspiration to keep it up, or down, or off, lol!

Reserve Collection mini-suites and full suites can book rights away too.

I would definitely call the vendor and ask. I have not been on this excursion but did 2 catamarans while in Hawaii a few years back. One of them we had to run from the beach to the catamaran while the tide was out in order to get onboard. We were running in shallow water and hopping up onto a ladder (similar to a pool ladder). The other we boarded from a dock. I'm sure the vendor can provide specific details for their excursion and would know if you can be accommodated. Best of luck!

I was able to make a SD reservation on the app and the credit showed up right away so it didn’t charge me. Not sure why it works for some and not others. Maybe try updating your app as I know this is a somewhat recent upgrade.
