Enjoying your review.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Yes

I love sea days.  I eat a relaxed breakfast in the dining room.  Have a spa treatment, read, do the daily crossword/Sudoko puzzles, play trivia, and people watch.  

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us.

Other than the coffee card, just about everything in the planner is dynamically priced - a change from 9 years ago.

I did notice that.

Our flight arrives in Orlando at 9:46am and we booked transfers through Norwegian to the port...what time should I put for Check in?

You are cutting it really close on timing.  Yikes!

It’s been 9 years since my last trip with Royal.  I am diamond but it seems like there have been some/lots of changes.  We are traveling on the Brilliance.

1.  Muster procedure- where/when do we go to check in? 

2.  Is there a cost for ordering room service?  Does it matter how much you order?  (I know to tip delivery staff)

3.  Is there pizza available other than buffet?

4.  Does the Park Cafe have the roast beef sandwiches?  What are the hours of operations?

5.  How much are the specialty restaurants?  Can you reserve dining times/places online before our trip?

6.  Do I need to make show reservations ahead of time?

7.  Do they still have the “Quest”? 
8.  Is there a ‘Behind the scenes’ tour?  Cost?

9.  What is the cost for the drink package (alcoholic beverages)?
10.  Can I use my diamond drink coupons for specialty coffees?

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.  Looks like you had a great trip.

Thanks for sharing your review with us.

Can anyone share information about what benefits come with the key/vip?

I am diamond level but it’s been years since my last cruise with Royal.

Yeah looking forward to your second week.  Again thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for sharing your review with us.

Love the quarter pushing game.

I don't know what kind of places you normally stay but a razor and loofa in the shower makes it crystal clear to me that the room (at the very least, the shower) wasn't properly cleaned. That is not "a typical start" in places I stay and I don't consider it a typcial start on any cruise line.   

I'm not sure exactly how I would handle it, but, I have a feeling nothing less than the hotel manager would be at my room.  As someone else stated, I'd be worried about the sheets and to that end I could see myself stripping the bed and dumping it all in the hallway insisting they get me new bedding.

Prior passenger's personal effects left in the bathroom is 100% unacceptable.

Agree

I'm sorry but I had to Laugh Out Loud at your crowds on the pier comment.  This is what the Costa Maya pier looked like last month when we visited and there were five ships in port.

I have never seen so many people on the pier.  Crazy!

One time I was flying home from Sarasota visiting my dad. I had come straight to the airport from the beach, and still had on my swimming trunks with nothing on under them. Something similar happened with the body scanner, and they wanted to do a "frisk search"... The guy pulls out a flashlight and shines it down my shorts. Unfortunately I had just come from the beach, so there may have been some "shrinkage" involved. Luckily I was cleared to fly, and went on my way... 

omg too funny!
