I'm too far out to have this show up in my planner but when it comes "live" I plan on ordering knowing, as silly as it is in 2023/2024 to still have to run around the ship to make dining ressies instead of online. however I'm sincerely asking why you will cancel. Is it because you have to go book on the cruise? Wouldn't you just be ultimately spiting yourself by not getting and either ultimately paying more or eating your meals in the MDR? I haven't sailed RCCL in quite a while (although Diamond) so I'm honestly asking since I'm trying to catch up on everything that has changed (or not LOL) since last cruised. Thank you.

Thank you. We like the pub and I'm planning on getting the UDP so we will also be able to eat there too. Life and Coconut look good. Happy to hear about your knee and that surgery wasn't required. Thank you again for your help.

I couldn't find a picture of the bed placement on cruisedeckplans either and my cabin was the last one that was fully aft so I took it and hoping for the best LOL I was on the Allure and LOVED the neighborhoods (we use to sail the Explorer series) so I hope I don't miss it on the Odyssey (although I don't miss it when I sail other lines). I guess we will keep each other in the loop with what we find out about the ship once it gets to the states (is it this weekend?). I hope we can book our dining and alcohol soon but guessing it will be closer to the one year mark.

That makes a lot of sense and thank you very much!

Hi. I am planning on getting the DBP and my dh would be fine with the Diamond Vouchers. I am the drinker. We both get the 4 vouchers per day as Diamond but is my name linked to "my" voucher so I have to always order the drink or can my dh just take the 8 vouchers and drink during the day even if I'm not with him. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I'm sorry you cannot purchase but it makes me feel a little better it's not just me LOL I can also just see the Hilton for $25. If the OBC was going to leave after Black Friday, I would have just purchased it to have but I really think we will stay on the ship that day. I'm a Disney freak and have APs (live in NY) but Im not doing that trek back and forth for one day I rather use the ship. Happy planning!

If that was the case, I would bet minimum for a round or two and then cash out. Still more money than nothing but why wait. If you wanted to cash out your OBC, I would do so in one sweep and then use the cash if I wanted to go back and play or for whatever I wanted.

Thank you for chiming in. Do you see that you can purchase the alcohol and dining for your February 2025 Odyssey cruise? I cannot purchase anything for my April 2025 Odyssey and really wanted to purchase the UDP and Alcohol package. Thank you.

I JUST NOW finished reading this at work! WOW, thank you so so much! I loved your review and appreciate all the time you took out of your trip to post. Where was your favorite bar on the ship and did you get surgery finally on your knee LOL

No, I just meant keep the same two cabins. Book as many people as you can in the Star class and just the minimum in the balcony. If the extra star class people don't want to sleep on the couch, they can go to the balcony cabin to sleep.

Yes, this is exactly what works. I transfer the money to a slot machine and cash out. Whether you play or not doesn't matter because when you bring the slip of paper to the window, they only know to give you what cash is listed on the stub.

Will do. Thank you!

Thank you. It really wasn't something I needed answered but thought it was strange that the $50 OBC would just pop up. Yes, I can call my TA but it is what it is and if it stays (or not) it's really fine. I would use for alcohol or dining but I can't even book that yet. Thank you for being so helpful with my questions, I really appreciate it!

Thank you. So, perhaps the $50 obc will stay until my beverage and dining open? I have $150 but from TA and not a CA Discount (I'm Diamond) but my group rate is $1K less for a "regular" not connecting balcony cabin.

This is what pops up:

That the OBC would "pop" up? I am in a group rate with my TA, who happened to have a group rate for the date I wanted and my balcony is little more than $1K less than Royal's site. If this is the case, will it sit there until I book something? In addition to the group rate, I also have $150 OBC from the TA and a night of specialty dining but that is different than the pop up $50 from Royal. No, it's not for a specific excursion. It just popped up. I will see if it happens again and try to take a picture.

It really didn't "post", it like popped up on my screen??

Hi. I just booked yesterday for my April 2025 Odyssey cruise. I cannot book any dining or alcohol packages yet (but I'm so ready to do so with the "sales"). However, this morning when I went onto my booking I see a $50 Promotional OBC that popped up from RCCL. This is not OBC from my TA or RCCL when I booked, it is new pop up on my RCCL site. The only thing that is showing me I can book is Port Canaveral Hilton Day Pass, for $25 pp for $50 total. Do you think this "Promotional OBC" is just for Black Friday or do you think it will stay in my planner until my dining/alcohol open. If you think it will go away, I'll just book the Hilton Day Pass since I rather use than just let it go and decide closer if we want to stay on ship or not. Thank you very much.

Yes thank you. I wasnt aware until today about the drink vouchers. That is a plus and hoping to try the lounge on Odyssey.

Thank you SO much! I will look at this in a little bit. Thanks sooo much!

Oh wow! I wasnt aware but this is fabulous news! Thank you so much! Yes we will. However, I will still be getting the alcohol package but my dh may not now and he can use the vouvhers and get the soda package. Thank you both!

I would book as many as you can for the room and keep 2 in the CP balcony. However at night, the extra girls can go sleep back in the other cabin. They dont care or monitor where you sleep at night. What a fabulous trip you are planning!

Thank ypu. Without our kids and parents with us the wifi may be good even though we like to disconnect on a cruise. Looking forward to trying lounge. Thank you. My dh may do that. We will have 8 tickets a day. However I want the alcohol package sonot sure if he doesnt need to get.

Yes, Im happy he is wrong🤣

Thank you. I actually JUST NOW found that out on another thread and someone sent me the C&A benefits. My dh told me last night it was 4 for the cruise, not daily each, which now has me questioning if my dh needs a drink package, but guessing I will need to get for him since I am the drinker between the two of us. My dh could use the 4-8 drink coupons a day for his beer and occasional bloody mary but I thought if I had the package, he will need to purchase. Is this correct? Thank you.
