Have been on Jewel B2B earlier this year. We left from T6 (which is usually just Carnival) and came back to T5. They had us park our vehicle at T5. Luckily the parking lots are right next to each other. So, yes....other lines will occasionally dock at competitor's terminals. Indeed have never witnessed an Oasis class at anything but T1, and very rarely if needed... T3.

LOL. I took a chance to post to you, assuming (by the music in you)...that it was you Dave. Figured something happened. Does Kathy know you reinvented her as well? 😄 And BTW...you don't look anything like Madonna. 🤣

Dave's not here. And who is hathy?

Because you are posting on it and bringing it back up to the top of the front page. 😇

Thank you! Simply not that difficult. 👍

Yes, indeed. Perfect trade off! 🙂

Would not bother me one bit to skip Labadee. I used to love the place before they put in the pier and changed the whole thing. We never swim there, since the water is so polluted. We usually take an early morning walk, then back to the ship as the bulk of the pax are coming to the beach. Lunch is nice at Barefoot Beach sometimes though.

The only Oasis class ships that has a convenient suites sun deck near the SL/CL is on Wonder and Utopia which is deck 18 directly above CK/SL. The other Oasis class sun suite decks are forward on the ship.

Lots of time on my hands during a cruise...most often we will take back up to the WJ if we don't want them in the cabin. When I do leave them in the cabin, I dispose of the food in the trash, rinse or wipe clean, and stack neatly. I never, ever leave plates of half eaten food in the hallway. Have seen too many of them tripped over, carts/wheelchairs/scooters trying to get by, and splat on the carpet. Ick.

Actually yes there is...especially in the morning. Pax think it is OK to put their "garbage" outside their door in the hallway for the taking. 😄 Me, I leave inside for proper .....more sanitary disposal.

Yes, I fondly remember! 🙂

If you don't like the show that is on....change the channel, or don't tune in. 🤪

We as well, doing the B2B end of Oct. and then staying on for the Nov. 5th. cruise. "Sea" you on board! 🙂

Indeed all very nice to have, which I totally enjoy! Shame D+ were kicked out of the CL lounge now though. 😞 I always liked having two lounges available in the morning in case the coffee machine was broken, or out of milk (a usual problem) in one, that I could use the other. Now...sigh...even Pinnies are kicked out of the CL/SL if numbers are too high.

Having had my main Visa CC number stolen three times now (online twice, skimmer at gas station), I needed a back up card to use until I could get the replacement card. The RCI Visa card has no annual fee, which makes it perfect for a back up for me. Otherwise I use it only for RCI purchases and am enjoying the OBC I get with it. Many times using it to pay gratuities, specialty restaurant fees, etc. on board. Even bought a beautiful new watch with it once.

Congrats on making D+ my friend! Some nice extra perks with that, including the amenity gifts and the balcony discount! We won't be back to Wonder until end of Oct. Another Halloween party again! 😄

Whew...that schedule would really require a nap!! 😮 Don't see any 13 minute time slot scheduled for one in there anywhere. 😉

Yup, mid summer not a huge draw for frequent cruisers...errr...old farts like me. 😉

Mmmm...rigorous walking tour in the morning....back to ship for full lunch with beer and wine. Sounds like afternoon nap time to me. 😄

You and me on that! I don't even pay attention to what the current stock price is on the RCI stock we bought years ago. We, like you, have pulled so much OBC...that we have considered our investment paid. 😉

Have witnessed many forms of the milk they put in. Sometimes, the little cartons they use in the WJ, sometimes the box milk, and sometimes the huge "bladders" of whole milk. I go into the lounges very early for my morning Latte and usually run into the crew member filling the machine. The taste usually never bothers me, though on rare sometimes .....they don't clean the lines or tank as well as they should and makes it taste sour.

If it is any difference to the "I only drink half and half crowd"....the milk in the Suites Lounge or Concierge Lounge fancy machines...is simply milk. Oh the horror! 😱

Sherri...nice to hear from you. 🙂 For some reason there are no Pinnacles in our VRBO rental house up here in Maine this summer. 😄

And also ironically...I have stock in RCI. 😄

The also ironic thing...is we that turned Pinnacle awhile back. So technically we should probably stay with RCI for the perks. But now that we have...we are now booking with other lines. Go figure. 😉
