Sea dog if you are on adventure I just read a comment from a fellow passenger. They are glad the Mdr cut off people who booked early Mdr after 25 minutes, they shut the door.

It's been a while and it was balconys not suites. Wonder had a few as did a few other ships. They sent a email if anyone wanted to take them up on options. I would have been a yes to a free cruise a little later. Full refund and a free cruise. Havent seen it lately. Always a few who wanted to cancel and here was a full refund.

A lot of us were on a thread in the float away lounge named for someones dog. Hes been poofed from cc, but the group still exists. Bella 2.0 is on wonder, and 2.5 one day later is a 4 day on utopia. It's a way to cruise and run into familiar faces. I'm not a joiner but like their cruises. Sea dog was on bella1.0 oasis last spring break. Lol. What a time to pick, but it was someones birthday and we didnt think of 2000 plus kids.

I personally skipped over some princess deals with very low solo supplements last winter because I was already booked rcl. If its 50% more, why not consider princess if you arent booked yet on either. I dont get the whole loyal to royal ... though certainly wonder is more expensive than other oasis class ships you could choose. Maybe look at allure or oasis? Too much we dont know, except I do know I wouldnt pay 50% extra unless it was with a group of friends for instance.. lol like bella2.0

I'm sure it gets old but again you need to find a TA with group rates. I'm booked in a neighborhood balcony on wonder for about what carnival charges for a inside on Mardi gras or jubilee. I booked a inside balcony on harmony for about $300 less than jubilee inside. I decided to pay less and again skip jubilee though I'd like to do carnivals new class of ships and try out their new food offerings. I cant help it, my wallet says rcl .. but then I get a solo discount, which no one else gives. No wonder royal is cheaper than other choices. OP do you really think your experience is everyone elses. It's not mine. As long as royal is cheaper, I'll wait on mardi gras and jubilee.

Lol I thought you would be headed to the diamond lounge for snacks by now. Lol. I'll check back later. Following.

I hate the lazy math saying double pts, or now double double. Then solo says so I get 4 a day in a suite, double right. No the people who post double dont know basic addition. Its 1 pt + 1 pt + 1 pt possible solo in a suite is 3 pts, was 6 during the actual double decent where pts were doubled. Confusing for solos . ...I guess some posters think everyone is a couple. Idk why they say double when 3 are possible, not double. It's not hard to say +1 for a suite.

Are olives vegetables? You need some celery for that. Looks good.

I counted them only 7 excursions listed for colon Panama. I went on a similar on rcl and there were quite a few under $100 and up to 30% off. Not great but choices. Carnival doesnt have sales all the time like rcl, all full priced all the time. The eco cruise and gatum lakes was $99 on rcl full priced, vs carnival $114. I'm in a bit of sticker shock how much more expensive carnival excursions are. Cheapest is $114.99 pp.

I'm on one of the cruises that docks at colon Panama. We have had many threads in our roll call asking as if they cant scroll down and see the question been asked and asked and answered. The one out of Galveston which has been showing sold out since April. The few cabins showing are cancellations. Less than a week, a few days before final payment carnival changed their mind and had a meeting that a passport was required. They had been saying not needed. We have had cancellations and a few cabins opened up. .. at least I think there are a few cabins back up for sale last time I checked. OP I agree that people read Panama canal and dont see the word partial but assume it. There are very few excursions imo to see the canal. I'm surprised how few. The one big expensive one for about $200, but not tons going to the aqua clara welcome center for instance as royal has. None. I dont see good options. Maybe they sold out before I started looking.

I loved the free offerings. Only place to get that funnel cake. There is also a free buffet, in addition to the 2 snack shacks. Dont miss the free tram if you get off at coco cay. Its huge and a lot to walk.

Tenderloin for 2, is about the most normal, hard to get it cooked enough for me. Duck, venison. The lobster thermidor was good but had more mushrooms than lobster. Someone commented its the small lobsters used like Mdr size not large ones. Idk what was before but mine were smallish, lots and lots of mushrooms. Could barely taste the lobster. Good but not filling. I dont know what venison tastes like but at that price skipped it. Duck duo was from the old Mdr menu. I love duck but messy to eat in a nice restaurant. I want potatoes, not a veggie to look like potatoes.

I did Giovanni I think was oasis Bella 1.0 and they put that same gravy all over my fillet and I am not a gravy person. Kinda ruined it for me. They didnt ask and it disnt occur to me to say no gravy, didnt know it came smothered in gravy. There was some italian day sale a few of us booked. I dont usually book italian.

I came back from grandeur so loaded up with stuff to use my obc on I finally had to just say STOP. Last I got the most expensive bottle of aged tequila. I got 2 sets of towels, aqua that say grandeur, 2 sets that say royal. And i remember a kinda sweat shirt that says grandeur. Some more stuff. I couldnt pack it i had 4 legs with obc. And it covered my tips. It was grand in that way. Couldnt do izumi for bogo only chops and I didnt want italian...so I tried to spend in the shops.

No I dont remember this being true. Even now you can share your loyalty level between celebrity and royal but the pts add separately.

I got some obc for $92 from carnival and $250 for owning 100 shares of stock. It's all showing and I can use it all now. No deals so idk, booked 3 excursions so far. Booked that glitch on cheers they cancelled. No problem using obc that has posted .. and I'm using mine.

Do you prefer a bath tub, want a little extra space. Mardi gras suite used to include bubbles, not much. Earlier boarding. I'm solo so for me unless I'm getting something I want I'm a no.

Shows open about the first of the month previous to your sailing. If you can book them at all. I dont see which ship you are on, so who knows. Maybe its booking 6 for my time together, idk about that. Most my time tables are 2 and 4 tops.

I would say safe if you trust him. It's not like strangers can board the ship on a port day. It's just even more deserted in the library.

Mixed reviews here as well. I had a couple tell me it was a never again, so much meat. Not their thing. Didnt like it at all.

Or it could be booking obc from rcl is why it shows up, not some obc your ta took out of his commission. Or group obc. I'd guess group? I have several of those at $50, and a few of the $100 variety. Did you know if you booked a inside rather than a balcony you would probably get $100 instead of $50. The $50 early booking bonus isnt combinable with your balcony discount, you get one or the other. .. or so my ta said.

Any obc from rcl shows up now to be used now. I have obc from rcl groups and from owning 100 shares of stock. Maybe buy 100 shares of stock, dont need to hold it long, apply for obc and then you can use that obc before your cruise. They are saying to you only TA obc doesnt show up ahead of time.

How are you booking, prebooking direct? Just one restaurant? I saw multiple birthday celebrations over in Hibachi, I was on the izumi side which I prefer. I also ate at chops and 150. Chops 3 out of 4 items were wrong or inadequate. Didnt have time to wait for them to recook my steak. 150 is nice but weirder food. Many would choose Giovanni which has the same fillet steak chops has, just better at cooking it and service. I would choose one of these.

First week did a favorite of someone and never lost so fast. 2nd week on allure I searched for Heidi. I won $13.65 off the free $6 promo. Free 9 games. Heidi is my favorite with all the beer mugs. Now I'm sticking with Heidi for a while.

The beer wine and soda is now available in the suite lounge from 11 to 11 on oasis class ships.
