Thanks, that was definitely my first point of reference. 2024's TA leaves November 3rd. I'm thinking the one in Fall 2025 may leave earlier because (according to post #440) the ship will be in St Maarten on November 9th.

Of course not confirmed yet, but is there a "rumor" of when the Odyssey TA will be in Oct/Nov 2025... or even the departure port? Thanks!

All good! Not sure how long it lasted for, but I found the press release that Royal sent out when they included it in the UDP, stating $35/person. (I also added that it's from May 2019, because folks def would assume it's recent... lol)

We had the UDP on Symphony in November 2019. It was definitely $35, which we thought was a lot since those menu prices were on the "inexpensive" side. Essentially, we ordered more food because we could. (In my opinion) lowering it to $20/person made sense. But not so much anymore with the recent semi-drastic increases.

Hi! I heard there is a place near the Nassau cruise port that has different Dole Whip flavors? Would anyone know the name? Or location? Thanks so much!

Since you are in a higher-end suite, a suite concierge will reach out to you before sailing. Maybe let them know and they will work their magic...

Thanks, I have tried that!

Confirmed! Or you'll get an "Unable to add" error. It's consistently inconsistent.

I think it’s the one on Post 623 🙂

First off, thank you Twangster for all the information (and photos) you are bringing to this thread. Will be on Radiance PC next year. I don't think the "A Taste of Asia" menu is available on the (usual) 7-nighters?? Just the long cruises.

Wife and I have been there kinda often. We aren't beach people. Twice, we went to Coco Beach Club... essentially because it was cheaper than usual. We liked the lunch and the pool. Sometimes we've stayed on-board. The last 5 visits, we've had reservations for the Up, Up, and Away balloon - and it's been cancelled each time due to winds. Either we find out the day-of when we show up, or they will let us know the day before. Have a few booked that go back in the Fall.. will try again for it. We just want to go once 🙂

A few weeks ago on Harmony, we had to skip Costa Maya due to winds (or tide, I don't remember). We were automatically refunded about $8 each for port fees.

Circling back on this (as the OP, I thought I was following the thread... but I guess I wasn't!) - The people at Next Cruise couldn't give a definitive answer either. To be "safe", we didn't get any NCC's this time around.

A few weeks ago on Harmony, my wife got the Caramel Frappucino... $8.20, which included the 18%. Didn't look at the price beforehand, so I wasn't expecting it to be that much; it had been awhile since we've ordered from Starbucks.

Last week (on Harmony), I was also able to use the D+ BOGO for Sabor lunch on Day 1.

Hi, I have already reached Prime and sometime in April, the Annual Tier (Interior) comp offer will hit my account. I am cruising the last week of March.. if I buy an Open Booking (NCC), would I be able to keep the booking # and apply it to my Prime cruise – if I book it in April? If so, I figure some extra OBC from the NCC can't hurt. ** To note - the NCC is $200 ($100 per person)... we'd upgrade from the (comped) Interior, so the balance will most likely be more. Thanks!

Are you able to cancel the bid altogether... then re-bid using a different card?

That is correct!

We were able to use our D+ BOGO on Voyager (Oct 2022) and Anthem (Dec 2022). The only "stipulation" on both occasions was that we each had to get the $34.99 Price Fixe - which we had no issue with.

Before my Anthem cruise in December, I found out my GTY cabin # thru the hack. While not a terrible location, I saw others available (in the same category) that I preferred. Tried calling Royal that day, but on their end it was still unassigned. I even tried telling the person that I knew what my cabin would be (and how I found out), but they weren't aware of the hack. So they couldn't do anything. The cabin was officially assigned about two weeks later - but by then, there was no other availability in that category. Ah well.

As long as the organizer makes that 100% clear beforehand, folks who decide to participate should have no issue with it.

Yeah - we have Coco Cay on Day 7, which I'm honestly not a fan of. But that's a discussion for a different thread... haha. Hmmm, strange. On Anthem last month, it was Cheers. And on the list of benefits on the website, it's also Cheers. But whatever it's called, it's the same thing that you described. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/crown-and-anchor-society-benefit-grid.pdf Thanks again!

Thank you. Since Harmony is an Oasis class ship (and also the Western Caribbean itinerary), my guess it will probably be the first sea day? Day 2 on my sailing. Pretty sure it is the same event... I'm relatively new to the "340+ club", but I think it used to be called "Lunch with an Officer", where an officer dines at your table. Post-shutdown, it's now "Cheers with an Officer" - which is still lunch, but they just greet you at the beginning.

Hi! Will be on Harmony (Western Caribbean itinerary) in a few months. Does anyone know which sea day will be the D+ Cheers with an Officer lunch? Day 2 or Day 6? I've read reports that on some ships, they have it for both Pinnacles and D+ on the same day. On Anthem last month, it was different days. Thanks!

Before 2020, we always dropped off at the Thrifty/Dollar location (2400 Miami Road) - just outside the Port Everglades entrance. Their shuttle was so convenient, but unfortunately they closed. Last March, we rented with Sixt and dropped off at their Fort Lauderdale Downtown (2901 SE 6th Avenue) location. Uber from there to Terminal 18 was $10 + tip. Very easy.
