I should have said Port Everglades, not FLL. It worked fine until we got to the port.

In our experience, not very well. On our last cruise, it showed one of our tags (that was in our cabin) as still in FLL for the whole cruise.

When we've had the UDP (we've only done it on Oasis class), we've always had lunch in Chops on embarkation day.

What a good idea - I will go back and edit my check-in to change to a later time.

I have checked in for both legs of our B2B in November. I assume the arrival time assigned for the second leg is meaningless, correct?

Since you hijacked my thread to talk about Cats, here's my take. You either love it or you hate it. I used to love it, but after one land performance and several at sea, I'm done.

I didn't mean that I thought COVID had anything to do with it - just using that as a reference for how long it's been since we sailed on that class of ships. 🙂

Thanks. We're on a B2B, so we should have plenty of choices.

I should know this, but it's been a long time since we sailed on Freedom or Voyager class - when do you make ice show reservations - pre-cruise or on board? (Mariner of the Seas. specifically). Back in the day (pre-COVID), we made reservations several different ways.

Who knows? We'll be D+ after the first leg of a B2B in November!

And believe me, I've heard them all! 😂

This was part of a promotional email I got this morning!🤣🤣🤣 (BTW - I have 173 points.)

We are driving to the port, so that is not an issue.

Thanks, everyone. We have decided to wait. We don't cruise again until next May, so we'll have plenty of time before that.

I have our passport renewal forms completed and ready to mail. We cruise November 2 on Mariner, visiting Coco Cay, Nassau, and Cozumel. I wanted to renew, since our passports expire 5/7/2024, so almost exactly six months later. My husband read an article this morning about renewals taking up to six months. Should we wait and renew after the cruise (and break the six months rule) or send them in and risk travelling with only a BC and DL?

Great idea! Thanks!

We will be reaching D+ on the first leg of a B2B in the fall. I know that I need to talk to the Loyalty Ambassador on the first leg to make arrangements to be recognized as D+ on the second leg. I have a question and need advice on specialty dining reservations for the second leg. I’d like to make reservations for Night 2, because it’s our anniversary. Should I wait to make reservations until we’re officially D+ and risk not being able to get a reservation or make the reservation on-line pre-cruise and try to get a refund later?

I don't care what these kids wear to the DINING room, but am I the only one that is disturbed that their grandparent can't spell "'DINING"? (Sorry - I couldn't resist!)

Exactly!

That makes sense. I still like having the app for checking menus, show, times, account balances, etc.

I thought you had to watch the video and check it off as completed.

How do you complete e-muster without the app?

We did this before a 12-day a few years ago.

I really appreciate all of the responses. I understand the process better now. Lose their money (OBC) and keep my winnings!

Thanks - I searched for threads on this topic and most them were about folks wanting to get their OBC cashed out without gambling. That's not what we're trying to do.
