    Best "emergency" card?

    With the Chase Disney Visa, you are only receiving 1% back on your everyday charges. For everyday charges, if you like the idea of not having to think about categories and maximizing your rewards, plus you pay off your card charges monthly, you are much better off getting a credit card that...

    Harmony of the Seas: 2 Questions

    You mentioned your group but didn't say how large it is. It will be much more difficult for a larger group to get moved to set dining times this close to your cruise, but it never hurts to try. Make sure you have your travel agent put you on the waiting list for the early/late dining. If you...

    What do you have on top of your fridge?

    Nothing, though it's probably got some dust layer that I need to wipe off.

    Thanks @peacefrogdog for sharing this! We recently leveled up to Emerald on our most recent sailing on RC -- and this would also make us Gold tier with MGM. I'll have to look into both of these programs to get the match!

    RC - Ovation of the Seas out of Seattle

    We sailed on Ovation last year and had a great stay at hotels before and after our cruise, however both were downtown though neither was really too far from the cruise port. Before our cruise we stayed at The Sound Hotel which was a lovely boutique hotel and a Hilton property - we absolutely...

    Rookie Refillable Mug Question

    We planned to get the refillable mugs just for coffee, however we ended up not buying them. Pop Century has the coffee makers and the front desk told us they could have as many coffee pods delivered to our room as we needed. I told them that DH and I often drink 2-3 cups every morning and they...

    Recent experience - FoTS 9/17 - 9/20/21

    Frankly... we felt safer onboard the ship than we do locally in our own town (we live in the deep south in an area with a high population of non-vax'rs). Masks were required for most indoors unless you were eating or once seated in the Royal Theatre. As for outdoors, no masks were required...

    Cabin door magnets

    We were just on FoTS last weekend and they do allow you to decorate doors but we did not see a single one decorated, though we only went up and down our floor and side of the ship (7th floor, Port side).

    Recent experience - FoTS 9/17 - 9/20/21

    DH needed a weekend getaway and decided to take a 3 day cruise on Freedom of The Seas. We only booked 3 weeks prior. Boarded on Friday 9/17 and debarked on Monday 9/20 and had a fabulous time! We had a balcony cabin and hooray for double C&A points! Thought I'd share our experience - let me...

    Anyone renew their Sirius XM radio subscription lately?

    So here I am 3 months later after my $2 deal and I just did an online chat with to try to cancel my service again. I asked to cancel and the online agent asked me if this was due to the pandemic. I said yes and he reviewed my account and offered me the $4.99/mo + taxes & fees deal for 12...

    Anyone renew their Sirius XM radio subscription lately?

    I just did an online chat to cancel the service in my car since I'm working from home and not driving it at all except to run errands twice a month. I had absolutely no intention to keep the service. Their first offer was $60 plus taxes and fees for a one year contract. I declined so then the...

    Favourite deck on Harmony for an oceanview cabin with balcony?

    Deck 12 is not just beneath the pools - Pools are on Deck 15 and there is another deck of rooms on 14 (there is no Deck 13). We were on Deck 12 in 2019 and booked this deck again for our cruise this year. We loved our ocean balcony mid-ship last year and that's what we booked again.

    When re pricing do you have to re buy drink pkg?

    I have been wondering about this and glad you asked, OP! We were are among the fortunate ones who purchased the $18 a day Deluxe Beverage Package when RCL had their computer glitch and later decided to honor. We have been watching our cruise fare and trying to determine if the difference is...

    Anyone else hate the Mega size rolls of toilet paper?

    We ordered the free roll extenders from Charmin a few years ago and they aren’t a perfect fit with our existing holders but they do work great! https://charminspindle.aerofulfillment.com/en
