Sorry, my original post was directed to the person who started the thread.

We used both whatsapp and iMessage without additional charges. In airplane mode of course

Does Sabor offer a Margarita Pitcher? or just single serving margaritas? Are premium "top shelf" margaritas offered?

I'm not sure about pitchers as we do not drink but we were offered what looked to be an appealing sampler for someone who does.

I am recently off of Freedom of the Seas with my two sons (17) and (23). I purchased the 3 device internet in order to connect to wifi. All phones were placed in airplane mode as to be sure no use of data. Download the application WhatsApp. and have all those you would like to communicate with land and sea do the same. Through the application you can text and make phone calls and you will incur no extra charges with Verizon.

Why would a TA want you to transfer a reservation that is already complete. What is in it for the TA and what are the benefits to the customer?

Unless your credit card is at or near the limit of what you are allowed to charge, the best thing to do is use a credit card.

 

I would NEVER use a debit card because of the holds placed on the account on your money.

 

Remember with a credit card, you do not owe the money until the charge is cleared. OTOH with a debit card, if there is a hold, you do not have access to that money anymore.

 

The other thing is that with a cash account, you need to wait in line at the end of the cruise to get your remaining amount of money back. There is no issue with a credit card. My vacation time is too valuable to wait in line to get my money back.

Agree.....you can check the charges via the TV and you will also get a print out in your stateroom on the last evening allowing you to verify charges. The line on the last evening was terribly long for those who chose other methods. Not how you want to spend the last night on the ship.

You will see everything from prom dresses to jeans. Slacks and a button up would certainly not have been frowned upon during the sailing we were on.

Thanks for the responses....there will be 7 of us and likely lots of luggage.

We will be sailing Oasis of the Seas in October. We are flying in the day before. Do most people purchase transfers or just get a cab?

Loved Sabor!

On Freedom, the sign on the wall said Starbucks with the logo and they used Starbucks cups.

We just finished a sailing last week and my minor son(17) was in a room with his brother (23). However, when I completed online check-in, I had to pull him to my setsail document. When we traveled through security, I used my setsail(which he was listed on) and his birth certificate to scoot right through.

Shoot....guess I need to rethink my beverage pkg. I just assumed it would be the same.

We used Whatsapp on our sailing. Of course it requires wifi and the person you are calling/texting must have the App as well. We used it to communicate on the ship as well as to those back home.

Is Starbucks included in the Royal Rep pkg on Oasis....it was on Freedom of the Seas in July

We ended up booking with 3 Ocean balconies and one Boardwalk balcony on 11 toward the back of the ship.

We are just off the FOS (July 2016) where we had 2 balcony ocean view staterooms. I have two sons 23 and 18 and was wondering if the inside balconies would be more appealing to that age group. Thank you for your responses .

Planning to book the October sailing for the Oasis. For those who have sailed, is the preferential balcony view of the boardwalk, central park or the ocean? Thanks!

Well....everyone I had spoken with compared Carnival to a Super 8. How hard is it to get chairs on the pool deck of Carnival? Is there an adult only pool?

We are just off RC Freedom of the Seas and we are looking at cruising during fall break in October. Trying to decide whether to stay with RC or checkout a Carnival ship. Anyone been on both cruise lines that would offer a comparison?

Are the perks usually better with a TA or RC agent?

We are just off the Freedom of the Seas.....looking at the Oasis for our next voyage.

We are fresh off freedom. My 17++ kid was sent to his room as well. He was with his 23 YO brother.

We just got off freedom today and there didn't seem to be any issues with our sailing.
