Ack! Never in a million years would I have thought this would be an issue. So frustrating. :(
Thanks for your help.

So, i just called MSC Cruises to link family member bookings to ours so we could purchase excursions and sit together during dinners, but I was told this was impossible because we all had different drinking packages. Did the customer service representative make a mistake?
Are you really unable to go on the same bus/ excursion and/or dinner table because you have a different drink package? It never even occurred to me that would be a thing as I've never experienced that in other cruise lines.
Is it possible to do it once on the ship?
Any help would be appreciated!

Awesome! Thank you everyone. Saves us from having to take towels just for that.
In terms of 10am, thanks for the input on that.

Hello,
My family plans to get to the Port early for a Royal Caribbean cruise (at around 10am). Does anyone know if they provide towels at the pool that early on embarkation day?
Thank you.

Yeah these sales are fake. Now I know better.

I've purchased several shore excursions through the Cruise Planner after booking a cruise. Don't worry about the wording that tells you what percentage discount you are getting, just watch the prices. Also, anytime you purchase a shore excursion, and the price drops, you just cancel the one you have, and then repurchase it for the lower price. Unfortunately, RCCL doesn't just credit the difference: you have to cancel and rebook. This is also true for anything else you buy in the Cruise Planner.
But, it's worth the effort. I booked Chops at a reduced price, and cancelled/rebooked it twice more. I ended up with $21.99 per person. Using our C&A BOGO coupon, the dinner cost us $21.99 for two people.
Ditto. We will continue to check and see if any deals show up for what I already bought. Hehe. I saw the unlimited dining package at 50% off (had huge pink banner saying 50% off) and made me think it's regularly $190 and did some math and seemed cheaper than booking each dining restaurant by itself. But price is still $95 per person so you can imagine my confusion.
Now I know better and can temper my expectations.
Thanks everyone.

Royal uses dynamic pricing. You will frustrate yourself if you try to figure out how they compute their "percent off" numbers. Just look at the bottom line and ignore any of the "percent off" stuff.
Ok that's very helpful to know. It had bee over 10 years since I last cruised, so wasn't aware of how things worked.

A good price is one that you are happy paying for that experience.
Yeah I choose my experiences first, but if I can save some money along the way to help pay for things it's always a nice bonus. I can't imagine anyone that would rather pay $69 for something if they can pay $50 for the same thing.
Thanks for the insight and way. 🙂

I'm a bit confused about the prices on Royal Caribbean's Excursion website (the one where you can actually purchase stuff from after you bought a cruise).
I bought a full day at Coco Cay pass which was listed at 10% off, so it came up to $56.99. When I go look today, the price is no longer 10% off, but it is showing up at $56.99 anyway. Is that the regular price?
I also booked a Nassau by Air and Sea which was 20% off. However, the price is showing up the same $73.99 for adult and $54.99 for kid. As is, I'm finding it weird that the percentage off prices ended at $0.99...
Does anyone have any experience with this or bought excursions in the past and had similar issues?
Also is there a place to check what the regular prices are for these things so I can really see if something is a good deal?
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!

@kribar I've seen some YouTube videos with the planners, but they are so low res they are useless. I travel in a couple of weeks so I'll post them here as i haven't been able to find any myself :(.
