If you think getting yourself the deluxe pkg and her the refreshment pkg will work out better you can cancel the packages you purchased and be refunded that amount.  Then call and they will allow you to purchase the deluxe pkg for yourself and her the refreshment pkg (you don't even really have to explain they don't seem to care).  

 

I'm fairly certain the zip line is separate but I've never done either so not entirely sure.

Got it, I understand! Thanks!

Also the Thrill Waterpark — Rise & Slide And Full Day Pass include the Zip line or is it separate?

Yes, Wonderland can make all of you specialty dining reservations not just at Wonderland.

 

Not sure about cash limit but if your wife would use the refreshment package (mocktails, soda, coffee, and water) you can buy the deluxe and she can get the refreshment but you must call to do that.

Will definitely do that for the reservations as soon as we land on the cruise!

I'm a little bit lost about what you mention for the refreshment package and deluxe beverage package. I bought the refreshment package. Do you say cancel my refreshment package, buy the deluxe beverage package, call and explain that my wife don't drink alcohol and then I guess out of the amount of the deluxe beverage package they will reimburse or credit certain amount?

Sorry but it's my first time doing all this process!

Thanks in advance!

As soon as you board making reservation should be your first stop.  Skip the reservation kiosk in the Promenade and head up to Wonderland. We have used Wonderland several times and there has never been more than 2 others in line.  The Wonderland host/hostess is over the top helpful.  Then head to the Bistro for lunch, is is seldom overcrowded on embarkation day. happy sailing Symphony is awesome. 

Thanks for the tip!

When you mention "skip the reservation kiosk in the Promenade and head up to Wonderland" does that means that in Wonderland I can make the restaurant reservations for all of them?

Is there any cash limit to carry on board? I say this because I don't have the Deluxe Beverage Package but I will definitely drink alcohol on board (my wife don't drink as much as me and is not worth to buy it) and also cash for tips. Is this the best way or are there any other better ways to handle this?

Yes, but only as courtesy to free up a table wait for others.  

Just did it, thank you 🙂

 Probably. If you have reservations booked for MTD it would be a courtesy to cancel them, so that the time might be available for others. 

Just did it, thank you 🙂

Should I delete MTD and keep only UDP from order history?

*Update*

UDP again for 179.00, bought it.

I still have MTD at 7:45 on my order history along with UDP at 6:00. Should I delete MTD and leave only UDP? Is it possible to change the reservation time later on? Are offshore excursion done before 5pm even if it's a 8 hour excursion?

Thank you guys!

I had been watching for the Unlimited Dining Package from the day we booked our Symphony of the Seas cruise for September 12th, 2020, and when it finally showed up it was going for $179.00 per person ($358.00 for two).  We bought it, and I continue to look each day for price drops, as I've already saved over $400 on other add-ons that went on sale after the initial purchase.  I've seen it go back and forth between $179.00 and $199.00 a couple of times since we bought it on Dec 18th.  Mostly, it was staying at $179.00 until just yesterday when it went back up to $199.00.  I advise you to buy it now, just in case there are a limited number being sold, then keep watch on the price and if it drops, cancel and repurchase at the new sale price.  You can always cancel if $199.00 is too much for you and it never does go back to $179.00.  I would bet it will go back down.  It's difficult to say when those sales will be though.  Aside from the Black Friday sales, they seem pretty random and not on all holidays.  Most other add-ons for our cruise have increased in price as well lately.

Thank you for your advise!

I did saw the UDP at 179 being the lowest since I booked in January. If it goes down again, I will book it for that amount.

Thank you!

Hi everybody,

I will be sailing on the Symphony of the Seas in March and the current cruise planner offer for UDP is 398.00 for 2 for the whole trip. Is this a good deal? It could go down any further?

Thanks!!

Hi and thanks for your response. I sail on March 14.

Hi everybody!

I booked a cruise for 7 days Western Caribbean aboard of the Symphony of the Seas. Out of 7 days, 2 are cruising and 1 will be at CocoCay which the package is also covered to be used there as well. Adding this would be almost an extra 1,000 for both on the entire trip.

We are not hardcore drinkers, we pretty much do it in a social way if we go to a restaurant or we meet friends, which is not everyday of our lives.

If we decide to not get this package but we still want to drink alcohol, how this works?

Anybody had purchase this package in a similar trip that could provide some feedback about this?

I know is hard to respond things like this because everybody is different but I'm definitely open to hear any type of drinker.

Thanks!

Thank you for your help!

Thanks you for your reply!

I move forward with Insuremytrip. RCI Insurance was more expensive and had way much less options compared to Insuremytrip. Very easy to compared, buy and receive the documents. 👍🏻

Hi everybody!

Like the topic say, I have an upcoming trip on March aboard the Symphony of the Seas. This would be our first time and we are very excited. One important question I have is in regards the Travel Insurance. I already read the policy and I saw some posts of scenarios were the insurance have to be used.

I booked the trip on the first week of january. I also need to flight to MIA and make a reservation for 1 day so the next day we could sail on. I see RCI have Air2Sea and seem's pretty simple. 

Buying the insurance and booking flight tickets through Air2Sea make the process easier in case of a claim for the flight since was done through RCI? Any advice about the insurance that we should know along with Air2Sea? 

Thanks everyone!

We have never been in Miami but we are flying from NYC.

Thanks everyone!
