Casino Royale Annual Cruise benefit - timing?
sailor05 replied to watcher_62's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We just did this and combined 2 interiors for an oceanview balcony. -
Grouped Reservations Have Different Checkin Times
sailor05 replied to ProximityG's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Just have everyone walk up as a group and just have the ones in front have their passes out, won't be an issue. My in-laws are slackers and never check in when I tell them to and usually have another time and always have boarded with us. -
Heard rumors about drink vouchers
sailor05 replied to Ret MP's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I can see good and bad. I will like that if I am out after midnight I don't have to make sure I use my vouchers by then and have to cut into my next day's drinks. I get freebies in the casino so this will actually be good for me. But the bad is on the last night I could use the 4 from the last night then my 4 from the debarkation day as I don't get anything in the morning before I leave. -
Casino Royale Annual Cruise benefit - timing?
sailor05 replied to watcher_62's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Have you tried going here to check for offers? You can't book anything until it shows up here unless you're onboard the ship and they offer you something based on your points. https://www.clubroyaleoffers.com/ -
$10 minimum and they do $5 hands on sea days in the mornings like at 10 or 11 am. They still use shoes.

My brother is a first timer and did not check in for his cruise on the Wonder tomorrow and now it says check in has been cutoff. Any idea of what time he should get there and will there be an issue for not checking in??

RCL Coffee Cards: Beware FALSE ADVERTISING!
sailor05 replied to 70KToM's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Heck, I'm fine with room service coffee and get espresso at the diamond lounge. I was actually considering getting the coffee card for our cruise in Feb, but after reading this thread I will pass. Between the diamond drinks and free drinks in the casino, specialty coffee was about all we were lacking as we don't want to waste diamond vouchers on them -
Anyone ever stay here? It's got a great price and we just want somewhere clean to sleep, nothing more.

Do they check if wine bottles are sealed?
sailor05 replied to sweetpea2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I just do it the old fashioned way and bring rum runners. Not because I'm cheap as I get free drinks in the casino + 4 free diamond, but because I like to have a drink in my cabin/balcony without having to walk all the way to a bar and back. I get oj delivered each morning with my coffee to use as a mixer. -
Hold that 2nd Lobster Tail and 3rd Entree in the MDR
sailor05 replied to MACE's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My personal opinion is they should just do away with the lobster nights. I HATE fish and the smell of it. Lobster nights smell terrible! Then there wouldn't be any complaining about getting a second or third one... -
I'm thinking the op was wanting some sort of refund for which there's no reason for. Needed to be settled on the ship by enforcing the rules or allowing a change of cabins. The marijuana nowadays smells like skunk and I can't stand it. Now the weed of my time is a different story...😎

Something is wrong. I've booked many and NEVER pay taxes or gratuities on excursions. Since they started their Black Friday sale I've heard many having screwy issues with pricing

How Long After Disembarkation do I get the RCI Survey
sailor05 replied to plettza's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Most of the time I get them the very day I disembark. -
Paper Diamond voucher receipts MUST be about tips
sailor05 replied to ggo85's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I always tip in cash, $1 drink outside the casino and $2 inside because that keeps the servers coming back to me and it's rare for my hand to be empty (except the hand holding the gambling money!). My last cruise I had to go to guest services twice to have drinks removed because at dinner I was being charged for others at my table. So, I'm all for making them document who's being charged and saving me that wait at GS. -
Breaking $100 bills into smaller denominations
sailor05 replied to xray0111's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I take mostly $100 bills and break them in the casino for port money. They have machines where you can cash your vouchers and break large bills into smaller ones. First you put in a $100 bill and it will give you 5-$20's, then you break each $20 into $10's then those into $5's. I don't think it goes to $1 bills. -
Using Gift cards for onboard credit
sailor05 replied to takemeaway2008's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Gift cards have always been great gifts, especially brand and/or store specific cards. Gives them more meaning than just generic visa cards so I can definitely see asking for these for Christmas or birthdays, just wish Royal had a better system in place. -
Labadee, Haiti stops...affected by local unrest?
sailor05 replied to Dreamer68's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You have to excuse the jerks on here. The "other place" has become SO much better because of the lack of no-lifers who have nothing better than to criticize others. They assume that you also have no life and live on here.... -
I remember a 70's night, white night and Caribbean nights earlier this month on Oasis.
-
You "should" be able find the package on sale for $73. Drinks for the most part are $14 each. So at $73 it takes about 5 drinks to break even. Add the 4 free diamond drinks to that and now it takes 9 drinks to break even. That's 9 drinks every single day, even when in port and days that you may have a hangover. This does not include the free waters, soda's juices, etc, and of course these prices have 18% added to them.

Icon of the Seas, Tiny Diamond Lounge, bad location?
sailor05 replied to umbrahold's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The past 3 cruises I haven't seen more than 1 or 2 people in the lounges. I go in there to get a free espresso and leave. -
Last week on the Oasis they had plenty of good seats available for those who didn't book in advance. So even if you want to go to a show with no advanced booking, just show up.

We did it on the Anthem in 2018 so hopefully we do it on the Oasis Oct 9th! I don't know if being such a huge ship makes a difference with the maneuver or not...
