We will be going on the Silhouette in July this year. I was wondering if the Silhouette will have the Celebrity App by then? It will be shortly after the refurbishment that is going on now.
-
We will be on Liberty next year right after the refurbishment. Will "The Key" be offered?
-
Would have liked to see Blanton's on that list!

I'm going on the Liberty in January 2021. I asked if "The Key" would be offered on that cruise and RCL responded that it is now offered on all ships. It doesn't come out on Cruise Planner until one year to 90 days ahead of your cruise.

We'll be on the Symphony in 12 days! Really enjoying your review!

I was calling 866 562-7625. I got to the RCL automated voice and then just stayed on hold until I ended up hanging up.

On my Dashboard, it suddenly states, "Pay Remaining Balance" for a cruise that I paid off a couple of months ago. I click on that button and it says "Connection Error." Now, this has been going on for three days. So, I have sent two E-Mails to RCL Customer Service and called numerous times and I have not received a single response nor has anyone ever actually answered their phone. Is anyone aware of some problem with RCL Customer Service?

we will be in a junior suite on the Symphony in May 2019 (97 days!). I have heard different things about folks in a junior suite being able to access the coastal kitchen for dinners. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks.

You should look at purchasing "The Key" through your Cruise Planner. It will give you some of the benefits you are asking about, but not all. I believe you get priority embarkation and disembarkation. You do have to make reservations for the shows but then you get to sit in the Key section which, I believe, is in the suite section. You do not get to go to the suite sections of Cococay or the suite lounges. Check it out.

We will be on the Symphony in May so I am looking forward to your review! Here's an odd question. We are driving to the ship and I wonder what happens when you pull into the Terminal A parking garage. I thought I read somewhere that there are porters at the entrance to the garage who will take your bags. I was wondering if that's true.
Have a great cruise!

Nice to see that RCL enforces some rules.

I think it's funny! I will be on the Symphony in May and now I will have to take a camera into the men's room!

As used in cruising, I find the term "gratuity" to be a real joke. A gratuity is supposed to be, "something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service," (Merriam-Webster). While people obviously have the ability to cancel the cruise gratuity, it is otherwise not given voluntarily so why call it a gratuity? I wish the cruise lines would just raise the rates to cover the cost of the wages and let the passengers go back to rewarding specific individuals for service that is above and beyond - or not.

I looked at the gin and tonic selection - it has one .375 liter bottle of gin and four cans of tonic for $48.00 which equates to the typical bar price of $12.00 per drink. The package has to be ordered two days in advance. I think it would be easier to go a bar and just order the drinks.

I am booked (through the RCL website) on a cruise on the Symphony of the Seas in May 2019. Just recently, the Cruise Planner added some shore excursions for our cruise, one of which I would like to book. I go into the Cruise Planner, enter all my info and then enter my credit card information, press "enter" and nothing happens. There is nothing wrong with my credit card. This has been going on for at least three days. Is anyone else having difficulties making Cruise Planner purchases?

I'm not a fan of this new Dashboard. It does not give as much ready information as their old web page did. I liked being able to see my remaining balance, cruise dates, itinerary, weather summaries, etc. all of which is not immediately available now. Just the general layout of information has made it more difficult to find things. Just saying...

Near the end of my last few cruises, our head waiter asked us to fill out the survey. No pressure for any particular scores, just please fill out the survey. That was it and I could live with the one request.

I was looking at the
Foval Power Step Down 220V to 110V Voltage Converter (on Amazon). I wonder if the this would also be confiscated? What type is that in the picture above? It, obviously, was not confiscated.

I also won the Cruise Bingo while on a 7 day Caribbean Cruise. we could book either an inside or ocean-view cabin. We mailed in the certificate with our choices. We ended up with a nine day Caribbean Cruise and upgraded to a mini-suite. The limitations were very clear and we ended up with a very inexpensive great cruise.

Having lived in Germany for over seven years, I can tell you that lobster is practically unknown to them. As a result, it does not have the same appeal that it does to Americans. I can't speak for other European nationalities, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same.

Today (7/31/2018) I checked the Cruise Planner for my May 18, 2019 sailing on the Symphony and it doesn't say anything about Johnny Rocket's milkshakes for either the Beverage Package nor the Refreshment package. I plan on getting the Refreshment package so I hope that changes!

When the MDR has three levels to it, why can't RCL designate one or two floors as either formal or casual on Formal nights? When you make your reservation for the cruise, they could ask your dining attire preference and seat you accordingly. I am one of those people who do not want to play dress-up. I do wear slacks and a button down shirt. At the same time, I do not want to be relegated to the Windjammer because some other folks want to dress up. There could be a compromise!

Is there any way to determine if a particular cruise has a large charter group on it and what or who that group is?
If Royal Requires A Covid-19 Vaccine Before Cruising Will You Get It???

I'll get the vaccine regardless so that's no problem for going on a cruise. On the other hand, I won't go if I have wear a mask. That is no vacation.
