Is this a booking for after being amped? I’m almost certain the purple slides are going to be installed. 

You make up a user name and PIN. If you want help just go to the Voom desk, they are more than happy to help.

No handle, opening is near one side. Holds 12 ounces with a fair amount of ice. I use mine at home, but unfortunately i in another room and I can’t get to it at the moment.

My dates are 3/30/25- 4/4/25, Grandeur of the Seas. Both substitutions mentioned would be acceptable. I have NRD.

Does anyone know what they are substituting for Labadee on 5 night cruises with Dominican Republic? Cruise is end of March 2025. I have received no emails about changes. They are still selling the same itinerary. I wish they would give the option to cancel since they know they aren’t going to Labidee in advance.

Sometimes it’s like they don’t want to make money. If the price is decent I book, if not I wait or find something else to do with my vacation dollars. I have not encountered OPs exact scenario, but some that have given me pause. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be.

Thank you for the honest review. We will be sailing Harmony in December. I am that silly person who buys the RC sweatshirt. I laughed when I read that in your review, I buy sweatshirts for everywhere I go(: I appreciate the insight on the tours, particularly the all access tour.

I had the key on my April Grandeur. It was only a little more expensive than the internet and I was solo. There was a small fruit plate in the room. The lunch was great, luggage drop off was great, breakfast was great, but the best was the debarkation. Skipping the line was priceless. For the right price I would do it again.

I found one on the Jewel.

I agree, the television selection is awful. I brought my iPad to watch streaming or have background noise while getting ready.

Don’t ever sail Grandeur. 

I was just on the Grandeur and it was in pretty good shape. My room was good, no weird sounds. There’s always some maintenance, but nothing very disruptive. WiFi was generally good, I only got kicked off a few times in my room and got right back on. The crew was very nice.

The string bracelets with the charm is in the EFFY store.

"Second call - I had reservation # with ocean view cabin booked. I was told I couldn’t get the upgrade credit because I already had an ocean view booked. Was told I should have booked an interior and then they could have upgraded me to an Ocean View. I ask him to check with his supervisor but still got the same answer. I ended the call and tried again for a different person."

 

This is what I did and it was wrong. I booked an interior thinking they would upgrade to an ocean view. Wrong. You have to book the ocean view and they will pay the difference. Now we will be cruising in an interior. No problem. I haven't sailed in one for a long time so we will see how it goes. It is terrible that they give you bad advice. It is the second time they have told me wrong information when I have called. 

I’m now more confused, which is it: book the interior or the OV? Is there a certain timeframe that you need to do this. Next cruise talked me into the card while I was booking with them. They said that I could just take $300 off the cruise before final payment…

Cafe Latte Tude Grandeur of The Seas. Picture taken 4/29/24.

I know this isn’t what you asked, but the beds on Grandeur of the Seas are excellent. I’m in an OV and I have no complaints. I don’t like firm mattresses.

I booked a cruise for next spring as a solo in an inside stateroom and now I’m considering a JR suite. If I pay the difference to upgrade the booking will I get 3 points per night instead of 2 or am I stuck at 2 because the original booking was not a suite? Thanks in advance.

I’m on Grandeur right now and the food has been good. The desserts are a little bland, other than the red velvet cake at Chops Grill. I have no complaints.

This will be my 1st B2B. I understand that the Diamond drinks reset at 5am each day. Does this mean on the last day of the 1st cruise I get 4 drinks starting at 5am AND an additional 4 drinks when I receive my new sea pass card....for a total of 8 Drinks that day?

My parents are both Diamond plus and on a B2B on Granduer. I joined for the second leg and I can confirm that they each had 10 drinks available. When we got something together at the coffee place they were both informed that they had 5 more drinks.

They made me remove mine.

That’s not what I wanted to hear, but I appreciate the information. 

This is my first attempt at Royal Up. Is it normal for offers to disappear?(I’m 3 days out) they’ve been showing submitted and now they’re gone. I wasn’t expecting anything, inventory was low and I just wanted the experience. I bid on two different upgrades if that makes any difference.

Can I wear my glasses?

4 days out and nothing. I wasn’t expecting anything, but I thought it was fun to try.

Sure hope not. As it is, get run into enough w/ people staring at their screen while cruising the halls/decks/etc. 

It is not, from what I heard this morning. In room WiFi was bad, that’s probably why you have people walking around staring at their screens. They’re searching for a stronger signal…

I watched her leave on the webcam today. I have people on there and I haven’t heard anything negative. I’m curious if the WiFi is better, I’ll find out next week.

There’s a divider at the end of the balcony. I have 8329 on Harmony later this year. There’s a video for my room on YouTube ( it’s not my video). You can google your room there maybe a video for it too. I think the obstruction is the same minor one. I have to stand up to view the aqua theater. Enjoy your balcony.
