That's fair. I'm not terribly upset - other than the fact that the restaurants they did reserve for it appear to be exclusively for it for our trip duration, and we (I, lol) really wanted to eat at Biergarten. There will be future trips, so it's not the end of the world.

Yea, I suppose so. It seemed like the message was "we haven't opened reservations yet" when in reality it looks like the message was *actually* we have too many people hitting our servers. Would be nice to have that be made more clear.

Starting out with: I didn't get them, so there's that, lol. Anyway, this was my first time trying to get "in demand" reservations. Is it normal for the website to be at "we're sorry we can't check reservations at this time" and then jump immediately to all the spots being sold out?

To be honest, I highly doubt its a cost issue. I've sailed concierge thrice, so I know what the cost is to passengers. I also just don't think there's that much demand for a never ending flow of alcohol. What I could see (and would like) is something like they have at the park club levels...

Yes, well... kind of. Here's the deal: If you booked directly through them, shoreside concierge can book you the SUV / personal transportation. If you used a travel agent, you have to book separately, but shoreside can tell you who to go through, and you get the same price... just a little...

Having just got off the Fantasy last Saturday I'd have to say... I agree 100%. Of all the onboard stores, and spaces, nothing was emptier than the Tiffany store at any given moment.

In order of likely relevance to a honeymooning couple: 1) semi-private room. 2) hammock. 3) private changing area on the island. 4) Safe on the island. 5) refrigerator. 6) Drink service to your location. 7) rentals included. With only two people it's less "worthwhile" than with a bigger group...

SHould you get one? If you can afford it, probably. They are really convenient. But, as others have implied, don't plan on engaging in any "honeymoon activities" in it -- they aren't private, and the changing area is a corner that can be screened off for one person standing.

6. Six days !

Thanks! That's our plan as well, albeit with an even shorter time (hoping for no more than an hour max). His brother and sister will be in with him, but might be off playing on their own. And he has definitely entered his "not a baby!" stage, so putting him in the nursery would be... hard.

The crash course began yesterday, so hopefully this was a moot question :).

So for some reason, we thought they had changed the policy from requiring potty training to being a strict age cutoff for the Kids clubs. Looking at stuff for our trip leaving in 2 weeks... we were wrong. Anyway, our three year old son (young three) is semi-potty trained. He's 80% good but we...

...Are there any? This is our third cruise (Fantasy -- Departing the 13thb), and we aren't really planning on doing much in port at either of the non-castaway cay days other than getting off, poking about for maybe an hour and getting back on the ship. In our past two trips we've spent...

We used SmallWorld to book and got some cash back. Other than that, though... nothing, and it's not really worth it IMO. I probalby would jsut book directly in the future like our previous two cruises.

Cool beans. Thanks for the answer.

I think I read somewhere that they no longer prohibit diapers / pull ups in the kids club? Is that correct? (sailing in two months, and out three year old is in pull ups).

@gotomu212 -- I agree. I also paid for the family sundeck, but I don't expect peace and quiet there. In fact, the only part I actually expect peace and quiet is the specifically designated adult only areas. Which, the concierge sundeck is not one of. To be fair, I can get being disappointed...

A toddler/small infant can easily drown in 4 inches of water. Tiny Humans are simultaneously incredibly resilient and incredibly fragile.

What makes you assume that? My first assumption would be it's a safety rule, not a "no playing allowed" rule. Setting that aside, did you notice the concierge deck as a whole getting more use? I know on my last trip it was mostly barren aside from the two times they had the happy hour up...

My wife and I are beer drinkers, not wine drinkers, but if the level of beer is any indication -- it's about on par with the rest of the ships offerings. Nothing really great, but at least a few options that aren't god-awful.
