Not a problem on Glory. or probably any non-Excel class.

right, maybe it is an excel class thing

I am excited to be on the first page also, as I usually find these great reviews many pages in.

Yay!!!

Have a great trip!

We were on Celebration the first week of April and there were no french fries offered at the deli.

really missed them.

just off the Celebration two weeks ago.  friends and us could not get the debarkation part of the app to work.  we had absolutely no issues debarking the ship with the checked luggage and not having used the app.  we even received the luggage tags in our room two days before as usual.

i checked a couple of dates with logging into my offers.  A savings of $30-$50 per person on a guaranteed interior cabin versus the price I can get without logging into my offers, even with the freeplay offered is an absolute insult. When the offer says Up to $1250 off I expected more than the tiny amount that they actually gave me. I'll take a pass as others here have said and book my much better current offers.

Usually, the diamonds/platinums/fttf get the A01-A03 when they check in.  At least thats how I've been getting the boarding zones.  They haven't called diamond or platinums.

not true in my case.  diamond and received B03 boarding for upcoming cruise.

great review! the pictures of the icebergs are godreous!  the wildlife that you saw on that journey were spectacular!  Thank you for sharing with us.

Thanks Greg for showing us this photography tip! It is so cool!

Have a great trip! Your reviews are wonderful and full of so much information. Thank you for taking the time to write a live.

offers are always only available at the time of booking and not after cabin is booked. and yes, our PVP has always been great.  we also take a picture of the offer on our phone and bring it on cruise just in case.

in my past experience, if you both have the same offer then you will both receive the DOU in the casino.  If it has Freeplay, you both will also get that, however, if it is OBC then only the person booking the offer gets the OBC

does anyone have any experience with this cabin?  Is the closet space as large as a standard interior room?  Did you like the layout of the room? location? Is there a chair in room besides the storage cube?

Sid, was your room larger than the standard inside?  Did you like the layout of the room?  Thinking of booking a similar room and would like your opinion please

perfect thank you

Does anyone know if cabin 10365 is larger than a regular interior on Deck 10?  It looks like a square room in, but it looks twice as large as the regular interior rooms on that section of the floor.

Thank you

Chibang and Cucina are only free the first visit and $8 thereafter IF you have Your Time Dining.

Megan,

Thank you for the great review! It is always a pleasure reading your antics and fun. Have a safe trip back home and I am axiously awaiting your next review!

Sid,

Thank you for taking the time to take us with you on this trip.  The pictures were great, the commentary was informative and interesting.  Safe travels back home, and know that you touched each of us in a special way... each different... but special.  You are quite a unique man and I thouroughly enjoyed your review!

I guess that I have to get at least one proper Guy's burger before I go, but I'll wait till a little later. Those three Street Eats were basically a meal... 

We never had a Guy Burger in December.  We discovered the gyros on Lido and had that and gelato almost every day for lunch! The food options on that ship are awesome!

Open question for anyone here who knows the answer. This Chibang first time free, $8 second time. Does that apply to everyone...so it's no longer a part of the YTD? Also does Cucina have the same deal or just Chibang? I know on Mardi Gras and Celebration there were times I ate there just because it was close to my room. But for an upcharge I'd rather do Emeril's or something.

with YTD the first time at Chibang and Cucina are free and subsequent visits are $8 per person, even though it is considered one of your main dining room options.

Was on Celebration in early December with YTD

the tater tots at street eats are delicious!!! if you haven't tried them you should when they are available.

On the Excel Class ships your YTD dining room is the MDR, Chibang Or Cucina. You can select whichever is first available or one specifically when checking in on the app. 

we were on Celebration in early December and had YTD.

we were able to check in for Chibang and Cucina as soon as the restaurants opend, however those without YTD had to wait until 7:30 to check in I believe.

And the second visit to Chibang and Cucina are $8 per person for dinner as stated above, even if you have YTD

Sid,

That was the most beautiful tour of San Juan that I have ever seen! I have walked around the city on many cruises and have never seen the beauty that you captured in your photos!

Thank you so very much!

If you are really never going to do another LIVE review, at least we have been able to experience this one with you.

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

this is going to be such a great week! Enjoy

Enjoy your cruise!! We are all anxiously awaiting the three Live Reviews!
