Just to update, I got in touch with SAS. They have drivers at POM starting at 6, but said most passengers don't start coming off ships till 7am. Still enough time for a 11:40 flight I would think. Especially carrying off bags and having TSA precheck. Well hopefully.

I know I could call again later when there is an answer, but figured I could also ask here. Anyone know the earliest pickup time from POM that SAS will do to get back to FLL? Have a 11:40 flight on SW out of FLL. We plan to carry off our own bags. Thanks.

We are on Symphony in Feb and are stopping in Nassau as well. Plans are to either stay on the ship or to find another small island we can get to besides the port. Been to Nassau several times. Seen enough of it.

I would agree that it's likely Freedom or something similar. At least temporarily.

July 2018 correct? Since I don't see anything available for my cruise in February 19.

My login has been fine since the second week of the new portal. Now I log in and I went from Diamond to "Pre-GOLD" with 0 points. What the heck happened?

I called the Access dept using the phone# above and they took care of my request for large print compasses ....said they would be in my room but if forgotten, go to Guest Services on ship. Also, said I would need to see Guest Services on ship for close seating in the theater. So.... I will do that! Nice service.

And I appreciate all the good info above.

While I don't think they'd have an issue giving out the large print compasses, I wonder if they'd ask for proof of blindness for specialty seating, etc. While I think they wouldn't, I'd probably bring my son's certificate. Any other "benefits" he would get besides lp compasses and seating accommodations. Just want to ensure if he wants something that I can arrange it for him. Thanks.

Who/where do you contact for the special needs department? My son is legally blind and would love the large print version.

That’s interesting to know. We have a GS booked on Adventure in 2019 and I wasn’t aware of that.

 

Something else to look forward to.

It wasn't on the letter they give you in a leather binder in your room. It was on a separate paper (like the invitation you'd get for a past guest party). Can't say they offer it every sailing or not, but they did for the Suites on ours last June.

Suite Sun Deck access...which is on both sides of the Pool Bar on Voyager class. Also get to have breakfast in Giovannis instead of the Windjammer or Dining Room. Also get backstage tour included. And I believe you'd get priority tender if you have a stop that does it.

Wow. Those portions are tiny! But then again, I'm from MA so my seafood expectations/experiences are different than most.

I thought Playmakers was supposed to be free?!

Most of my account looks correct as of yesterday. Can actually get to Cruise Planner now too

Believe that is an old picture of "Sunshine" of the Seas....

Have a link to cruise planner on my reservations now but it just logs me out as it brings me to the main RCL cruise planner page. Won't let me do anything. Really poor setup.

Planting has begun in Central Park.

 

 

 

 

Do they have to change those plants out before coming to the US in November? I thought the USDA wouldn't allow plants in from Europe?

Agree with all the others. Just tested sign on myself. Looks like it "could" be better, but at this point, it's clearly not. I was able to add my other cruises, but I see no way of accessing the cruise planner. Wonder what happened to my OBC that showed up yesterday?!

Windjammer $20 BOGO deal for days 1&2 only.

Hahahaha. That's precious!

But seriously, there will definitely be something no other ship has. They always do that with a new class and then trickle that change back down the line. But with all these new updates recently, you can sure it will be something new to increase the revenue stream....new pay restaurant or attraction for sure.

Nope. They were dredging the harbor and we had to skip the stop. Ended up in Dominica instead.

Just checked and my Symphony cruise still has the Ultimate listed as 203pp. Nothing about added gratuities.

Maybe they are mounts for robo screens similar to 270 in Quantum class??

No one on Adventure is going to St. Lucia for months. And Royal will continue to mislead and obfuscate the issue because they know how popular St. Lucia is and how unpopular Martinique is with many cruisers.

Agree. The dredging in St Lucia is scheduled to take till November. Not sure why they keep trying and don't just make the change to all future itineraries for the foreseeable future. Suspect it's much cheaper to go into St Lucia so if they skip it for another island, they likely take a loss.

I never updated this thread, but did get a responses to my multiple inquiries on Monday of this week. They were all the exact same response cut and paste. Said he has no internet, but to respond to the email and he'll reply with a confirmation. Doesn't seem the best way to do business, but I'm sure he is a decent operator. We have just moved on to another option at this point.

I agree with the sentiments about rebooking out of need or due to the fact that an itinerary isn't out yet. We normally book a JS onboard with the last itinerary available to move to the new itinerary once they are released. Gives us the 100 deposit and 100 OBC (since they eliminated the Next Cruise cert in any good capacity). Now if we do this, we are locked into a cruise we don't want. Guess we'll be booking the day they come out and forgoing the onboard booking.

Not sure if I can put the link here so I'll just say search for Antigua vip tours and you should find it. Think it was $175 for two adults and a child. Let me know if you can't find the site.
