  1. If its refundable then no problem asking for it. Nonrefundable yes can be gotten out in a slot machine. If you get some free money I spin for it first. I get it says $6 but first day gives me $8. Then transfer some amount from your cabin to the machine. If you dont gamble a certain percentage, I've read you can only do this once, so make sure you transfer it all at once. I only got cash out twice, the last time I was sick and thought I must have covid and would be isolated in my cabin. Usually spend it lol. But it can be done and I'm not a gambler.
  2. I check in online, not the app. Try both as one may open before the other. Its midnight the time zone the ship leaves from. Idk about not filling in passport info, I fill it all in. I got one coming up in less than 2 weeks out of Galveston so its midnight texas time it opens. Suites can board 1 hour earlier than their assigned time.
  3. I did the very aft boardwalk balcony. It was loud. They played football games so loud i could hear with my door closed and it's a long walk to the elevator. That being said I liked it better than central park which feels more closed in. I liked being able to see out the aft, though it's not as good of a view as I hoped. I have boardwalk booked again, on utopia for one. I like them for the lower price usually than a ocean view.
  4. It does sound like they dont want people leaving labadee. Someone on your ship? I am sure they will let you all know .. if you rented some thing that could leave labadee. "I just received my cancellation notice for the wave runners on March 17 sailing on the oasis" just have a couple extra lobster and a extra drink and enjoy your cabana.
  5. Sounds like misinformation to me. It's a island, off from the mainland. Not saying they arent hurting but Belize for instance is the mainland. Imo much worse and more pushy. I wouldnt believe every rumor. Just be careful as always.
  6. Harmony he was actually squeezed into different elevators different nights. Better to have him out there.
  7. I have seen some JS on older ship not much over 3k. There is a huge difference in what carnival offers with a suite and what royal offers. Carnival on the new class offers bubbles. That's it. The only perk. Rcl has a suite lounge and drinks and wifi and other perks. Nothing is free. If you prefer a no perks suite on carnival go for it.
  8. TAs are almost always cheaper. I got voyager booked from PC to spain. And it's a lot less than for the next legs onboard once it's a regular sailing. I think the cost of the one way flight is daunting and why more people dont book TAs.
  9. Idk a way to put a hold other than call my TA who can do it. He also has better group rates. I dont think you can put a hold on a cabin.
  10. I booked two of these 8 day adventures. Eastern and the southern, with the full ABC. Nice ports but considering adventure is older, not cheap prices imo. I can do a week in a inside balcony on oasis vs these inside about same price for me. But adventure has some nice ports cant hit with oasis class.
  11. I've said forever it's not right solo cant book gty. This is specific to royal Caribbean. I do gtys on other cruiselines. Call a ta and see if they have group space is all I can suggest. Otherwise you have to book with a fake 2nd. And yes I'm aware have to cancel that pax before the cruise leaves to get the extra solo loyalty pt.
  12. A couple boardwalk balconies would sve you money. If you dont mind walking I did the very aft balcony where I could see out the aft. I'd save the money. Lots on that ship for everyone to do.
  13. I looked at rhapsody out of tampa last part of 2025. Is there any good way from PC to tampa? I read it will take bright rail 5 years once its approved. It's not that good of ports it's worth the cost of parking, I'd like a shuttle from one coast to another.
  14. Im D+ so get 5 a day. That's plenty for me but I drink the free stuff as well. I'm not much of a drinker. Probably why rcl is catering to the young new cruiser who will spend more.
  15. I like grey too. After I redid the 1st condo in grey, even the flooring is grey. Supposed to be the color of driftwood. Then I read grey is now out. Hahahahaha. Too late. I still like grey. Planning on this being my forever home so I really think I need to be there to see colors and styles. Not pick from here. He was supposed to call back with quotes. I'm still waiting. Idk what price range hes talking about. Cabinets can run 10k to 40k. Big difference.
  16. The cabinet guy said making new doors to fit are also pretty expensive. I know white cabinets are now popular and I like wood cabinets. I'm thrilled with my new condo. So much space idk what I'll do with it all. I want maybe beds in all 3 bedrooms for guests. My sister and bil travel with his daughter. I'd like new living room furniture, I hope there is a place near by that delivers. Wish I was already moved, but still stuff here to finish up. The cabinet guy called but I'm not ready to commit to new cabinets until I'm there. My little oceanfront condo I wasnt there. I wanted upper cabinets white and lower a light grey. He did them 2 tone. Both colors on each. By the time he sent pictures was too late. It accomplished what I needed and I wanted him out. But I wanted them painted different. I really think I need to be there in person when the kitchen is redone. Hard to wait to move.
  17. This one. Island lady I think was on serenade something like 63 days and rejoining the ship in Barcelona. It's a good read and it's on the serenade.
  18. When I get moved I will update the kitchen, at least appliances. I havent made a final decision on replacing the cabinets. They are dated but in good condition. For sure all the appliances. The refrigerator has a wall on both sides and I was told the condo really doesnt like people removing walls so I cant go bigger than what will fit in the space between the walls. Replace with stainless appliances. You can see a cabinet just beyond the refrigerator and the brown stripe where you put your fingers to pull open cabinets. So it's not just a matter of replacing hardware, all the kitchen cabinets would have to be totally replaced. I gutted the kitchen here, it's a big job. I'll decide when I get there.
  19. I did oasis last march and missed the 10:30 am time so I too got 11 am. I arrived just around 10:30 and checked in and they pointed to a place to sit for 11 am but I'd guess i was only there about 10 minutes tops when they started calling us to board. It went fast to board. Lots of walking but i got on smooth and fast. Cant complain.
  20. I'm sorry to hear of this. Even if you were estranged it still is hard to lose a loved one. It must bring up a lot of old memories.
  21. There is a whole long thread called the world cruise. All the posters posting live are on serenade. They did quite a bit of work before the world cruise, not sure how much will remain, like laundry added.
