Thanks!

Yes thank you! I also have a 10 and 12 year old.

I need to try this! Are there any other cocktail threads! I love trying new drinks and I kept trying to find some good ones on the grandeur-it was hit or miss. I’d love one then order it again and no good. I think I need to just find a good bartender and stick with them

Thanks, though I’d rather be at the 8:00 dinner anyway :-) felt rushed to get there at 5:30!

We went around a big storm last year it just made us a little late and was a bit rough.

when I booked our cruise they said the only time available was 8:00 for the MDR, 5:30 was full. I said that was fine. But under my reservation it says dining (waitlist) 8:00 ()

Does that mean I’m on a waitlist even for the 8:00 dining time?

I’m hesitant to pre purchase with it being end of August weather might be issue.

Problem is it’s ruining it for people that really need a service animal 😩 on our cruise last year I never saw a dog, but I did hear one barking all the time in a cabin when I’d walk by it. A true service dog would never bark...

Hmm what else can I ask for-blueberry pancakes?

Yep she only need Refreshment package

Yes. My son has stayed in AO on 2 different cruises at 12. We just explained that he wasn't ready for the teen group.

Do you remember if the kids club was crowded on those cruises? My friend was on a cruise last August and they wouldn’t let her 12 year old go down. Kids club was pretty crowded though.

If it’s a crew area will inside rooms right there 3765 be noisy? I worry about a door opening to the hall too?

The cruise I am on went down to $42, it was $48. They also added option of drinks plus Voom for $53

Is it even broken up by age? 12-14 15-17?

Same for Grandeur in August $42

We had 4 of us in a balcony last year no problem (11 and 9) this year balcony sold out so are trying two inside connecting. I’m going to miss sitting on that balcony. I used it a lot. But it was still cheaper havungvtge two rooms.

I bought the drink package on our last cruise and will again. I enjoyed the fresh squeezed juice in MDR for breakfast (best I’ve ever had) and I’d have a speciality coffee in am and in afternoon and cappuccino after dinner. (Yes I’d still sleep :-)) I also drink a lot of water! I’d only drink 3-4 or so drinks a day but usually the $12 ones.

Yes. We have done it twice.

Great to hear! My DD is tiny (only 57 inches and 58lbs) there is no way I want her in with the 17 year olds! We are on the Grandeur which is a small ship so doesn’t have separate ‘teen’ rooms (meaning 12-14) (15-17). They didn’t even really divide up 5-12 much

Has anyone had experience with a child moving down an age group? Our group has 4 kids, ages 9, 9, 11, & 12. We are hoping that the 12 yr old can move down to be with the rest of the kids...

I’m wondering the same! When are you sailing? I’m in August-I’ll let you know.

I will say one of the only things we liked better about our Disney Cruise was the mattress so much so that I wanted to take it home with me. I tried to find out how to order it and everything. Best nights sleep every. RCI needs to order those for all their beds!

 

When they announce that the muster drill "will be" in 15 minutes, the general consensus is you should start heading to your muster station then, and be there before the actual drill sirens blow. If you wait for the actual drill and leave your stateroom (or wherever you are) at that time, and get to your station 5 minutes later, there will legit be passengers upset with you. Once I even saw crew members aggravated with those people and they started marking them absent. It's counter-intuitive to me, because in a real emergency you're not moving toward to your station until you hear an alert, but whatever - muster drill is over faster if everyone goes early.

 

Have a great trip!

Yes! We were one of the last ones at our drill-I was like how did all these people get here already!

Funny cause my kids liked the royal cruise better than the Disney!

Any recent food reviews? We were mostly pleased last August with MDR. Is it the same menu. I don’t eat in the buffets.

Anyone know if a 12 year old can step down (she is size of a 10 year old) and wants to be with 10 year old brother and went on cruise last year and loved kids club. I also don’t want her on with 17 year old boys!
