Keep in mind cruises are one of the few vacations that charge for babies. I would leave the baby with grandparents. The baby will not remember the cruise. And it can be good to have some adult only time.

Another site that I frequent posted what the upcoming sale will be. They have always been accurate in the past. And it looks like the sale will be just a bit extra onboard credit. Staring at $50 for an inside on a short cruise. Upto $400 with a deluxe room on a 6+ night, nonrefundable cruise booked 6+ months in advanced. Not great.

Independence which is freedom did not have it in march.

I would call. It may be an error. They changed the ship. They should not change the price.

If you cancel past final payment you lose the deposit. So you should lose it in tgiscase as well.

Thanks

Wear bathing suits onto the ship. That way you do not have to wait for your luggage. And it will be one of the slowest times to use the pool.

We once told the kids when we were at the port.

Incase you are unaware you can narrow your search by month and ship. Doing that will help if you are looking for btb.

You will get coupons loaded on your account as a crown and anchor. If everyone is registered everyone one gets coupons. So it could save you money onboard.

I was reading that rccl offers a bag of laundry forba fixed price. Any idea what size the bags are?

I do not drink soda. However the rest if my family are big soda drinkers. But none of us ever get a drink package. The water and juice on the ship are fine and included. Also if someone really wants one it is included at Johnny Rockets. So you may want to consider forgoing the soda.

I called last week and upgraded room for december. It was quick and easy.

The grand prize goes to the first person who can state why the USA has the type of tipping policy it does for restaurant servers. Below minimum wage pay and make money in tips. 3...2...1...Go!

It was a result of the great depression. Resturant owners went from paying servers well enough to depending on patrons.

Thanks. I will let him know.

Here of a few thoughts I have.

1) the definition is according to merriam webster

"something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service" key word voluntarily

2) people are saying that people are lowlives for not tipping. How about the cruiselines? Are they lowlives for not paying more?

3) I know servers that make over $100,000 a year. I also know alot of people in these industries are happy to mislead you that they make a lot less than they actually do.

4) they have free room and board. So they can go without spending a dime.

He is in a power wheelchair. So he can get around easily. And yes he will be alone. My mom will be doing excursions lasting from 2-4 hrs.

My parents are going on the freedom in just a few weeks. My dad will be staying on board while in port. He is also in a wheelchair. Last cruise we found out the casinos are closed while in port. He is bringing a book. But I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions of things he can do. Tia

Call royal and they can set it up before you board. But if your group gets too big they will have to split you up.

I am not knowledgeable about all the ins and outs. But it would seem to me that if you switched you mom and husband. And then canceled your husband you would get the refund for you husband and that would make up for the difference between drink package pricing. Of course just because it would make since does not mean it is the reality. But I would check into it.

I thought it was just me.

If I remember correctly it was not in the dinning area. I think it was listed under activities.

The photos included are for only for the people in your cabin. And if you have minor children in other cabins they are also included. However for children in other cabins you have to let the photo gallery know to combine them. As long as one of those people are in the photo they are included in the package. Others would have to pay for thier own package.

Looking at a 4day 2019. I would normally just book and get price adjustments if it goes down. However we have a cruise in less than a month. Should I wait for the next cruise offer? I will booking nonrefundable eitherway. Tia
