We had the option to leave between 2:30 and 3:30. We stayed until 3:30. Our all aboard time was 4:30 though. We would’ve enjoyed a little more time. 1 negative with the RCCL excursions are you have to meet in the Royal Theater. It might be nice to just taxi over a little earlier. Like others have said, you just want to make sure you allow plenty of time to get a taxi back and factor in the traffic. You just never know if it’s going to take a lot longer or not.

I was on Oasis last week and didn’t receive any invites. I did see the paper you attached, but must’ve missed the top tier/information, so this is good to know. We are 7 points from Diamond Plus and I thought it was odd not to get any invites or a description of our Diamond Benefits.

Did you add the passes to your cart and then get the price at check out? Just checking as we just went to Atlantis last week. We purchased the excursion through the ship and it was $219 per person. I had priced it directly with Atlantis, it said “from” $95, but when I went to check out it went up to $190 per person (for ages 13 and up), kids are $95 per person. Since this was without transportation, we kept the excursion we purchased through the ship. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back!

Ok so yes, you’ll more than likely get a Central Park or Boardwalk Balcony. I would keep checking the price for an Oceanview Guarantee as they tend to fluctuate.

Out of curiosity, which January sailing? Also, did you book a Neighborhood Balcony Guarantee or an Oceanview Balcony Guarantee?

Let me start by saying...I have never sailed on Quantum. I've been on Anthem, Odyssey, and Ovation. We just did the 7/29 sailing to Alaska on Ovation. If you're set on these 2 ships/itineraries, I would definitely go with Ovation. On our sailing we were only in Victoria for the evening and it just wasn't enough time to do much.

I've asked for a mattress topper on our last 2 cruises (Odyssey and Ovation) and was told that since Covid they are no longer available. The reason being is they cannot be washed. The room steward put about 6 comforters folded in half for me and it helped on the 1st cruise, but the 2nd cruise it was no help. I felt as though I was sleeping on a brick. 😐 I know suites are "supposed" to have nicer mattresses, but have not experienced them myself.
