You used to have to make reservations for three shows but now it is only Spectra's Cabaret.

I thought it was a typo at first too but when it was said in the next post, I figured it was something outside since he was talking about the yard. 🙂

We had booked a suite GTY which typically gets assigned a junior suite. We received the email to bid through Royal Up prior to being assigned a cabin. We bid on a grand suite and an owners suite. I check daily to see if I am assigned a cabin when I book a GTY and found we had been assigned a two bedroom grand suite, which is definitely an upgrade from either a GS or OS. I immediately went and cancelled our bids on GS and OS, they had not been automatically cancelled. I never got an email to bid again on that reservation and I honestly never went looking to see if I could bid as I was very happy with what we were assigned through the GTY.

We were very surprised when we got it and loved having the two bathrooms. The cabin slept 8 and there was only two of us! No way would I do 8 in that cabin, unless I had 6 little kids. Four sleep in a very small bedroom that has two pullman in it. Two get the sleep sofa, which was actually part of a large sectional. Master bedroom was good sized with a bathroom with a tub.

Not in my experience.

With an android, you need to get a barcode reader. On an iphone, once your setsail pass is available, you put it in your Apple wallet and below the bar code is a number and the last digits are your cabin number. If your cabin is not assigned yet, the last digits are GTY.

That is great to know that they will cancel bids made prior to a GTY assignment. I didn't give them that chance and was able to cancel myself. Maybe I will rethink bidding in the future.

See above.

I had a suite GTY and got the Royal Up email and bid on a GS and OS knowing I would likely get a JS for the GTY. I was assigned my cabin a few weeks prior to the cruise and received a 2 BD GS! I quickly went and cancelled both of my bids but I was nervous until we boarded that we would win something that was less than the cabin I was assigned. I won't do Royal Up on a GTY anymore. I know it is rare to get something better than the minimum but it does happen.

Based on those itineraries, I thought it was Liberty. You can see water, you could be behind this area. This is Freedom but you get the idea.

We have done suite guaranty in the past and have received JS cabins but also did well once and got a two bedroom GS on Anthem. I would be careful about a guaranty on some class ships as I do not like the aft facing JS on Voyager and Freedom class ships as they are behind the large gray space at the back of the ship, so the balcony is set way back in the superstructure. I would have no issue doing guaranty on the other ships though.

Where are you seeing they have contacted a lawyer? You can believe everything you read on the internet. It would make sense for them to seek guidance from a lawyer, it doesn't mean they are trying to blame anyone. Having someone not emotionally involved guiding them is a smart move. My heart goes out to this family.

Doubtful they will bring a larger table but from recent videos online, both of those cabins have small dining tables. Could you bring one over to the other balcony and try to finagle some kind of gaming table using folding board games and a vinyl tablecloth to hold it together? Even a large piece of cardboard with a tablecloth over it might work.

Was it the transfer bench kind that is supposed to be half in the tub and half out? We have one of those at home from a multitude of orthopedic issues. You just adjust the two legs in the tub shorter and the other two are out of the tub. The shower chair we got on Anthem was just an armless stool. We were in a balcony cabin for that sailing and nothing bigger would have fit in the shower.

First night in CK is typically the filet mignon which is a very popular night which could be why SL was overly crowded.

Not correct, it is 60 days in advance for sign language interpreter requests, 30 days for other requests.

From your other posts, it looks like you are on Anthem. There are three different types of JS on Anthem. There are some JS that used to be called Spa JS and actually have a tub and a stand alone rain shower that has a tiled seat in it but it would easily fit a shower chair and has a very short step into the shower. Do you know what type JS you have? The ones on the hump at the aft elevators have the stand alone shower.

Yes, you can request a shower chair from the special needs department. Request must be made 30 days prior to sailing. The chair is more like an armless stool, not the transfer type elongated chair.

It is really strange.

This was just posted in a different forum from Wonder.

We have had similar happen on Oasis class ships out of Port Canaveral, so that is why we avoid sailing from that port now.

Each person in a cabin can have a different payment method setup, so there is no need to make arrangements with each other. They won't see charges for someone paying with a different payment method.

She does have two cabins on one sailing but she is on the prior sailing with a friend.

That is great advice to follow. Having gone on this journey with my Dad, I know how different things can be for each patient. You positive attitude and the love and support of your family and friends are so important, along with your medical care. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I don't post much on the medical discussions on this thread but this just hits close too close to home. 🙏🏻

You only get the points for one cabin.
