Went live at 11 EST. But is it set to literally be 45 days from each day of the cruise? I assumed that you could book for each day of your cruise when it goes live. But unless I can't see how to change the date, it looks like I have to do this tomorrow, and the next day, and the next...??

For my cruise, the app had no information. Which was an issue when needing to know that dinner plans didn't conflict with a show or party. All wording indicates I can make reservations now, despite it being 46 days out. But trying to book, a cryptic and not obvious message just says, "check onboard". Does that really mean "not live yet, check back later"?

Is that the same message people see if the restaurant is full? You guys are right when you say how poor the app is.

I don't think a $600 is worth it in loot. I would not spend that much. I could spend $400 on drinks in 7 days, but that's about it.

here's a website that gives you an idea of the actual schedules of sailings.  they get loaded pretty close to sailing, but gives you an idea of previous schedules...

I'm not sure if you meant to provide a link or website name or to say "there's" 😉 I'm searching now, maybe I can find it. I did find something from 2021, so the general date of when things are might be correct, but the times would be off. No more staying in port anywhere until 10pm 😞

While I have you for the 4th or 5th time, any tips for how to eat. We would eat at 5pm if we could, so 5-6 is good, though as late as 8 could work. Thinking that on the first day, eat at 5:30, but that may mean 6:30 until done and heading to sail-away. Next day is at sea, so could eat anytime if there wasn't a show we needed to see. I think shows have 2 seatings now? Maybe first night see a show from 9 to 10 and then to PJ Party on day 1, then day 2 eat at 6 and see the first show? Then we have Cozumel so I guess need to be back for dinner then and see if we can make a second show. At Sea the next day would be before Bimini, so we have to arrange around Scarlet Night. I'm not sure we have time to eat, see a show (or visa versa) and do Scarlet night. Bimini day we would probably just do the club, then go back for lunch unless we want to stay, then come back for the sunset on the beach and go back to the ship for dinner again.

What are the deals when you are on the cruise and they try to get you to book another one "for today only" 🙂

Still a little unclear. If you take an Uber directly to the correct place (the terminal?), and have just a shoulder bag each and one medium sized wheeled bag, where do you go and how do you avoid help you don't need?

I know it can change, but without a schedule, how can you plan dinners? I'm hoping to find the paper schedules that may match the Jan 29 sailing or come close. I know they changed port times and cut 1 hour from Cozumel and 2 hours from Bimini! In particular I'm wanting to know when to NOT schedule dinner for the sailaway, if PJ night is the first night, which shows are what night, when to not schedule dinner to see the roundabout start and the pool part on Scarlet Night, etc.

Thank you! If you could add me to the spreadsheet, I would appreciate that.

Thank you. I'm not a room person because I'm not in the room but to crash for 7 hours. So could have the smallest room and it wouldn't matter much 😉 But we went with the XL. They were kind enough to move us down a floor and a couple of rooms aft to have all glass. I feel better about it.

Does the app distinguish between brunch/breakfast and dinner? If I wanted to make a reservation for brunch at the wake, but then also wanted to make a reservation for dinner, would it block me?

They have managed to move me to another XL and confirmed that does have a ham,pack, but not if it’s steel sided or glass. Will report back when we know.

As of last week, 10346A DOES have a hammock. So I got free $50 OBC I guess. 

 

Any further thoughts? Should I switch? Looks like even with partial glass, you will see no water unless standing at the balcony. No view from the bed or the chairs, or the hammock.

I am in 10358A on the Scarlet Lady. 

I'm so lucky I stumbled onto this thread. My room is 10358A. I have partial glass. Should I ask for a switch? Seems the only way you would be able to see water is perhaps from the bed and if you are standing. It looks like sitting in a chair, the metal would completely block your view of anything but sky
