The one thing you can be sure of is that it will be either 5 or 5:15 or 5:30. 🙂

It *may* be correct on your invoice. Mine a few months ago was not. It said 5:30. On board, it was 5. This happened to me twice, on different ships.

^^^This. Cruisers who are embarking in November will still have to wait until they board and can use the Royal app.

Calling RC customer service is unlikely to elicit the correct information. Better to ask someone who is currently on board.

Herman or Lily?

Yes. It is only Vision class ships that lack refrigerators in their interior and oceanview cabins.

That is one of the most appalling sounding combinations I can imagine!

And if he is paying 8 fares on the Icon, he better take out a second mortgage on his house! 😮

I'm pretty sure it's 5-8 on all the ships now.

@RandomUser123 Is the full Spectra's Cabaret being performed, with the aerialists?

FWIW, your cruise documents also say: "An 18% gratuity is also automatically added to beverages, room service, and the mini bar. Beverage gratuities are pooled and shared by various dining and beverage service staff. An 18% gratuity is also automatically added to spa and salon purchases. Gratuities for other service personnel are at your discretion" There is no mini-bar. Hasn't been for several years now.

I am. They are not. 😄

Yes, the Concierge can do all that for you.

Well, that's not correct. As stated in the link posted above, you can bring on up to 12 containers of non-alcoholic beverages (soda, juice, water) as long as each container does not contain more than 17 ounces. (per stateroom)

Do you mean Boardwalk?

Please buy me a ticket. I can't - I'm on a cruise ship!

Please share the proof that an "imputed value" of every free drink generates a gratuity for staff.

I think that you are missing a decimal point there!!! 😮 😮 😮 😮

On Deck 15, "near" the Lime & Coconut.

You can use the RC app to check in (and get a check in time) and then close the app and do the rest later, at your leisure. The three health questions can now be answered at check in time - no waiting until just before the cruise. No more uploading of vaccination cards, and they don't ask to see them at check in, either. No more testing, and no more showing the test results (on the *honor system*) at check in. (this offer is void if your itinerary includes any port that requires testing) When I got my bivalent booster, she wrote out a new card and gave that to me.

Have you tried the shower goop? If you haven't, you can't judge it.

I remembered this thread and tonight I took this picture at Izumi on Adventure - All packed up and ready for pickup. 🙂

Another pro-tip: Use your drink vouchers for house sake!
