We have cruised on Royal 20 times, and have always brought soda on board. Like you, I only like a certain soda, Coke decaf, which may not be available on board so I always bring my own in my carry on bag. I usually bring at least a 12 pack. You should have no problem.

Some have said that they use a luggage tag on their soda, and have not had a problem, but I tried this once and the porters shot me down on this, so into the carry on luggage it went!

Does Freedom of the Seas have a Broadway show like many other ships have? Momma Mia, Cats, etc? I can't locate this information.

Thanks to all 👍

Hi!

My hubby needs his daily red bull. Is this included in the Royal Replenish Package?

The price of my grand suite on Harmony, 4/22/17 sailing, just went UP $1300.00.

Looks like Royal has finally caught on to the great pricing for this ship, and made some "adjustments" to the price!

I just checked the price of my Harmony Grand Suite and the price has increased $1,300.00. This is for the 4/22/17 sailing. Is Royal now onto this pricing snafu?

I am booked...just went into look...what a shocker!

I also just saved on Harmony sailing Western Caribbean on 4/22/17

$4,018.94-Grand Suite including travel insurance (new price that I booked today)

$5,661.18-Grand Suite including travel insurance (old price that I originally had booked)

I know the new promotion states Harmony is excluded, but my booking and deposit went through.

Found it...thank you!

I don't see Harmony listed? How are you searching for this?

I feel RCI has backed themselves into a corner with the BOGOHO sale. If they ever put an end to it, how will they handle the current inflated prices, and bring them back down to what the realistic prices should have been? Won't this be transparent to their customers that they totally inflated the BOGOHO prices, and the sale was never a sale at all? The calculations below are just a sample of my perception of the sale; they are not actual sale prices that I have selected from a current sailing.

Example BOGOHO:

$2,000 1st passenger

$1,000 2nd passenger

Example regular prices:

$1,500 1st passenger

I have 3 RCI cruises booked for 2015, but will be canceling 2. I am taking my grandchildren on a Bermuda cruise in August, then that's it for us for cruising RCI for a while. This sale business has really put a bad taste in my mouth for a cruise line that we had really enjoyed in the past. I just don't like the way they have been doing business lately. I assume they have been doing well with the "sale" as they are still sailing with full ships, but I will probably be bringing my business elsewhere. Sorry for the rant, but this has really been bothering me.

We generally sail in a Grand Suite. So does my sister. We arrive at the terminal together, and always arrive on the early side, 10:30 to 11:00. She and her boyfriend alway get their luggage early, well before muster, and they unpack and are all set prior to the drill. We always get are luggage late, about 6:00, and have to unpack after dinner.

There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when you receive your luggage. As long as it ultimately arrives, which it always has, all is good :)

Jersey Boys!

I agree that this sale is just awful...I heard that it was ending g today, Feb 1st. However, I logged on this morning, and it's still here. Reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day".

The prices seem inflated to cover the half off the second party. Now I need to do math (granted, not much) to determine the per person price. This ongoing ridiculous sale just really annoys me. Additionally, since we buy cruise care insurance through RCI, the price for the 1st cruiser is higher than the price for the second cruiser. I then try to determine if the price for the first cruiser was not inflated if the the insurance price would be cheaper. Yes, this has happened to me once.

I, like many others, have cruised Royal extensively, and in our case, exclusively.

I have three cruises currently booked for this year with RCI, and will be canceling two...only keeping one that we are taking our grand kids on.

I don't like game playing when trying to plan our vacation. Sorry for the rant, but I was really looking forward to this BOGO sale ending TODAY!

Thanks to all...we will stay with our current suite as it is very close to the stairs. We are very excited to try the concierge lounge on this class of ship!

Hi,

We are two able bodied cruisers in our early sixties. We are booked in a grand suite on deck 12. Do we need to go down to deck 11 to access the bar area, coffee machine etc.

Would deck 11 be more convenient? Any recommendations? This will be our first time on the oasis class where we will have access to the lounge.

Anyone? I would also love to see #1556!
