So, of couse, the first thing I had to do was check my C&A level for my upcoming cruise. It is correct but if it wasn't I would have already been on the phone with RCI.

Have a great cruise on the Allure.  I made sure she was in great shape for you.  Bon Voyage, OB!!!🛳️🛳️

I do the checking in for both of us too when it is ready.  I have everything printed out for both of us all ready in a folder for our May cruise.  Not a big deal for me to do at all.

I do the same.  I look for cruises, then call our TA to book it.  If we are back home, I do all of the checking in and printing of our passes, etc.  If we're in Florida for our cruise(s), our TA does it all for us, since we don't have a printer here, and she doesn't mind doing it for us...she even booked our covid tests for both of our cruises in Feb and April.  She then had our results emailed to her and printed them out for us also.😉

Made me check my app, since we will be boarding the Adventure in 14 days, and it still shows me as being D+.  Definitely, reach out to C&A or maybe your travel agent.  

 

 

You board Adventure as I get off off Allure.

I really want to know how everyone is getting these big price drops.  I have religiously checked all of my cruises, and the prices have only gone up.  Mine next month never went down, and that category is sold out.  I had hoped to upgrade to a suite, but those were sold out when we booked.

 

Same with our January cruises.  The one is up $150, and the other has the category sold out.  I thought maybe our May cruises next year would drop a little, but they have not budged.  I can’t believe I booked all at the low point.

I have the same problem as you.🙄

@Sunshine3601 Yesterday Caden and Aubrey picked up the Zinnias I started over here.  Today they are planting them.  
 

I love that you've got your beautiful grandchildren so excited about planting gardens at such a young age!

Thank you for asking.   My eye is a little swollen, no where near as much as yesterday.    I am able to at least open it today.    Although this morning it was all gooey and glued shut.   I just took off the pressure bandage they put on yesterday afternoon and gently washed my face and applied some vasoline and a standard bandage.    Definitely getting a little purplish.    Doesn't hurt at all, just uncomfortable with the stitches so close to the lower lid and stitches kinda tickle my lashes.

Good to hear that your eye doesn't hurt, Debbie, and that you can open your eye today.

I hear ya, Mark!  Someone on our NE/Canada thread said there's a price drop on Adventure....nope, not in my case..There's only 2 balcony staterooms left, and the price is $1,000 more than what we're paying.

Happy Birthday wishes on your Granddaughter's  7th Birthday!  Nice double celebration, with it being her Birthday and Easter Sunday all on the same day!

I select "follow" on roll call.  This is usually where someone will post there is a drop.  The one that has been posting this time says he got an alert for the price drop so I would guess there is an app out there for this.  The biggest drop usually is after final payment.  I would bet it is so they can offer OBC rather than refund cash.  
On our next cruise there are a few jr suites but only 1 above that.  We have a RU on a GS pending but little hope.  Although we were able to move up to GS and really enjoy them the last 2 cruises, we need to get back to enjoying OVB.  It’s hard for me to find a GS at a price that feels worth the extra over a balcony but hey, I look!  😂

Is this for the Alaska sailing on Ovation?    No, I doubt any tanning will happen there except maybe your nose😅

That is Awesome...I forget how that works after final payment, does it show up in cruise planner or wait till you board?    Time to cash out at casino after tips, etc. are paid. 🥩

 

Thank you for asking.   My eye is a little swollen, no where near as much as yesterday.    I am able to at least open it today.    Although this morning it was all gooey and glued shut.   I just took off the pressure bandage they put on yesterday afternoon and gently washed my face and applied some vasoline and a standard bandage.    Definitely getting a little purplish.    Doesn't hurt at all, just uncomfortable with the stitches so close to the lower lid and stitches kinda tickle my lashes.

 

We had storms blow through last night but nothing as bad as they were predicting.    Today is beautiful sunny day with an expected high of 70f.    We are going to make a run to garden store and pick up some bags of raised bed soil and some top soil for a couple patches that Eric wants to plant grass seed in front yard.       

 

Yes, the Alaska cruise.  👃 I will be careful. 
I was surprised to see this one drop so much but thankful.  They will tell you it will be about 2 weeks before it shows up but our last two showed up within a couple days they would email it’s excepted and then post it in the cruise planner.  You can then use it to make cruise planner purchases.  If I cash out in the casino this time I may play a little before cashing out.

Thankful your eye is not painful.  Hope it keeps getting better. I hate getting gooey eye.

Glad the storms missed you.  It has been nice here too.  Yesterday we planted 44 tomato 🍅 plants and today 29 pepper 🫑 plants.  While planting today I hit the straw on occasion.  At places I went wider than 12".  Think about that when doing the core.  Easy to do because of the size of the bale.

Nope, I am going to leave them in the house so that when I die, someone will have to deal with tossing them in the trash or saving them trying to figure out why the exist.

Get the silly thing every 80 points?  I will get one in that case in December on the Harmony.  

[Lionesss]

So I was on hold for 50 min today with C & A to try to correct my status.  It was boring.  No music?????  Every few minutes a recorded prompt stated. “ your call is important to us, all our representatives are helping others, your call will be answered in order it was received”.
 

I hung up. I just checked my APP. It is correct now.
