No reservations needed for We Will Rock You when we sailed Anthem in March.

10 drink card was offered starting on day 4 of our September Liberty of seas cruise to Canada/NE. After gratuity was added, $116 for 10 drinks. Since we did t get drink package due to the ever rising cost of the package and DH gets free drinks in casino, we purchased a card on day 8. That was because the casino was closed all day on day 9 due to us sitting in Bayonne thanks to Hurricane Lee. So no free casino drinks. Card saved us approximately $50.

We sailed last year and took my dad along. When we tried to book a dune buggy excursion prior to the cruise on RCL website, it would not allow me to book my dad due to him being over 65.

For my upcoming WOS sailing in December:

We got this one to use on recent liberty cruise. It’s magnetic and we hung it on inside of bathroom door, that way when we opened the door we could see to step inside but didn’t have a night light shining throughout the whole cabin to disturb our sleep. It worked great. Plus it rechargeable.

Thinking of booking a Mediterranean cruise for sept 2024 on RCL Oasis. Anyone have a way of getting a rough idea on what excursions would cost. I did try looking at current sailings to the same ports as this cruise would have on the app but all the excursions listed do not show any prices.

On liberty now and the casino has taken a good bit of our gambling money already too. As for seeing people win at machines you have played, that happens to us every cruise😖🤣😂🤣😂. Well hopefully our luck will turn around and we will bring money back to PA!!🤞🏻

Wow, making me think I need to pack more jeans and hoodies when I start packing tonight for thurs departure!

Yes, distilled warmer and extension cord for DH’s CPAP were delivered to our stateroom as requested through the special needs request department

Following along as we also boarding on 9/7! Get her primed for us!😂

According to the Tampa port website they have been reopened

From this current thread, they state that the CD and captain have been very straightforward

Coworker in Allure now and she is having a blast! Go have fun, don’t sweat the small stuff and form your own opinions. If all the negativity was true, the ship would’ve full and the demand for cruising wouldn’t be as high as it is!

We enjoyed our cabana at Nellies Beach

We like chill island

Thanks! I just checked and changed all of ours to 6:45!

We too are from PA so we do hate the winter here so we have done Caribbean cruises many times, western itineraries are our least favorite. We did do Alaska at end of July 2019. I was hesitant since I love the beach, but Alaska did not disappoint. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! And we talk about the cruise all the time. Yes the price is more, but you are also celebrating a significant milestone in your marriage, so why not a once (or twice) in a lifetime vacation. And as someone else posted, the glaciers are shrinking, so go now before you don’t have large ones to see anymore.

Just google RCL special needs form. Then when you go onto the page that google brings up, you fill in your info and click submit. That is what I have done for all 4 cruises I have this year for DH to get distilled water for CPAP machine.

Good thing I booked the UDP when it was on sale a few months ago. Snagged it for $266/pp for my Wonder cruise 12/10. Currently on sale for $288/pp but have seen it priced over $300/pp for same cruise. We plan on Mason Jar brunch on embarkation day.

When we cruised with my MIL, SIL and 2 minor nieces, SIL needed the notarized form. Her last names are the same as the nieces. Ex-BIL complained about wasting his time to go to notary but at least he went so the girls could go and have a good time. As one poster stated, they are apparently starting to enforce this rule. As an ER nurse, who is required to be educated on the subject, I feel this may be due to the crackdown on human trafficking of minors.

FYI: when you buy a dining package, you can not prebook the day and time like you can on NCL. RCL will make a courtesy reservation for day 1 or day 2 of the cruise for whatever restaurant they choose. Once you get on the ship, you will need to head to any restaurant to make your other reservations and /or change the one they made for you. If you pay for them as individual restaurants (not as a package) you can pick a day and time. Also, my time dining (MTD) is not like freestyle dining on NCL. As you know on NCL you can go to the MDR anytime between the opening and closing hours. MTD is a time period between RCLs early and late dining times, so usually 6:30-8:30ish. And they recommend a reservation for the time you want to go. You don’t have to make a reservation but they do have 2 lines to enter the MDR, one for reservations and one for without. IMO, food quality and taste is about the same as NCL. Something are better, some are same, and I wouldn’t say there are many things that are worse. As far as drink packages, we try to figure out how much time we are actually spending on ship and about how much time we will be in the casino. DH is the drinker and gambler, so he qualifies for free drinks in the casino. If we feel we will drink enough to cover the cost of the package, we will purchase it. And we always call because they will let me get the refreshment package and DH the deluxe beverage package since I do not drink. I hope this helps you coming from someone who has sailed NCL 21 times and and RCL 5!

I have liberty on 9/7. The earliest MTD slot I could get was 7:45 every night!

Oh we just got platinum pin on our July adventure of seas cruise. Maybe they had them left over🤷‍♀️

DH and I use the same card. We have had varying amounts for holds on credit card with RCL.m. We have been on 29 cruises total and the other lines we cruised with did the same thing.

I have read that they closed this and apparently it’s not reopening. Has anyone else heard this? If it’s not true, I know DH would love to book it
