TIME TO PLACE YOUR BETS!!😂

Nah, no idiots here; the key word is hopeful! Some of us are just hopeful to see Utopia based in PC and prefer to think positive!😉

Just got my cancellation email and my purchase history shows a refund will be processed. Also, got our $50 OBC for our October cruise. Sure wished we had bought a few more! Better than nothing though!

Utopia is the one I'd like to experience as soon as she's ready! I could care less about Icon but DH says he'd like to cruise Icon at least once.

In my experience, the only time you may not be able to get lunch at Chops is on boarding day, which is usually at the Italian restaurant. Chops should be available for lunch on all of the other days. Maybe it's just not posted yet. Several of our upcoming cruises are missing various things, so we're playing the wait and see game!

I really like the solariums on the Radiance class. We board Serenade this weekend and, from the videos, the solarium still looks beautiful and peaceful. The big Lion statues and large pillars makes one feel like they are somewhere in Greece. Very nice touches in there.

We've been on a few in the last few months and have not seen that. We were on Mariner last October and Odyssey last February. Now, they are only allowing one 750ml bottle of wine/champagne per person to be carried on board, no longer 2 bottles per room.

This reminded me that, when on Mariner last October, some pre-teens/teens were in Playmakers at the billiard table and started throwing the balls vs using the stick, and were even throwing them so that they bounced off of the table and on to the floor, not just once, multiple times. It got so bad that another adult stood up and told them to stop! The kids parents were sitting in there drinking and just laughed about it. Really???????

When on ships with the large Promenades and the beautiful classic/vintage cars on the floor, I cringe every time that I see kids crawling all over them and sometimes banging on them! It then becomes understandable when I see a parent leaning all over the car to have a picture moment! They used to have signs saying DO NOT TOUCH and sometimes even place a rope around them but anymore the cars are free standing. DH just tells me not to look but it still really bothers me. Is it just me?

Here's the latest: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/seaweed-sargassum-florida-caribbean-scn/index.html

Yes, ours showed "suite" in the beginning as well; however, I failed to print them out or take a picture right away and now it's gone! I snoozed and losed!!! I know, the word is lost but that didn't rhyme! Haha!

We are boarding the Serenade in 10 days on March 25th in a JS. Our set sail passes and luggage tags do not have "suite" on them ...... yet; I am checking daily.

See post #4 but thanks.

I hope I don't get flamed here for my answer but here it is: There seems to be lots of different opinions here. If I were you, I would ask this same question to one of the officers on board your ship, unless, of course, you don't want to hear their answer, and don't want to alert anybody of your intentions. Just sayin'. That would be the smartest and safest thing to do. At worst case, they just might suggest that an adult walk back to the ship with the minor to make sure he makes it there safely. Problem solved!

It shows a zipper in the video posted above.

We enjoy the hump balconies and never noticed any noise, and I am a light sleeper. Happy cruising! Cheers!

Of course, patience only goes so far in some cases; may be worth that phone call, unless you visit the LA on board. Good luck!

Yes.

I paid for one Premier Package, which is still listed in my Cruise Planner; however, the $50 OBC is also showing up. Patience Grasshopper, patience.🙏 Cheers my friends!🥂

Sorry, didn't fully read that one, so you beat me to the punch! ...... this time! LOL!

Now I am starting to wonder if RCCL needed a short-term loan?🤔 This was probably a good way to get some needed cash flow.😉 LOL!

I don't know. I would think some of us are "hopeful" vs "delusional". JMO! Cheers!🤞

Our RCCL Visa was charged.

Just booked a package under DH's name and it only charged us for one and only lists his name; however, it did not ask for my CC number, so how will it be charged? Something is definitely wrong here but we decided to try it anyway for our upcoming October cruise. Didn't have the option for our cruise in 2 weeks though. Weird but kinda exciting! Cheers! Update: Just received an email confirmation for $88.99 on my CC! Wow!

Oh yeah, Harmony has a lot of wonderful specialty dining options, so my vote is the UDP for sure! Happy cruising and dining! Cheers! Besides, there are lots of freebies on CocoCay to enjoy without going to the ritzy Beach Club!
