I am wondering if it is random. I had previously put in mid-range bids on 6 different cabins for my Symphony Cruise last week and was so sad when I got 6 Rejected emails the night before sailing!

I was just going to ask how late in the Royal Up game we would find out we were winners or not. Honestly I just did it for fun, perfectly happy with my inside cabin but we'll see what happens.  Sailing April 6th on the Rhapsody of the Seas;)

All my cruises were in the Caribbean,  except for Hawaii and we stopped in Victoria Canada.  

I read an article about a man who missed the ship in Nassau.  He stated he had his birth certificate with him while at the Atlantis. My question is,  how many of you bring your passport/birth certificate on shore at port stops? Honestly,  in probably 20+ cruises, I have never brought anything but my Drivers License  and cruise card on shore. I am usually a cruise line excursion purchaser unless we're just shopping or going to the beach. Just wondering  🙂 28 days and counting 

Ok thanks, virgin strawberry daiquiri too or banana, peach etc....

I'm wondering about milk shakes on the Rhapsody  as well, my granddaughter has the refreshment package. 🙂

Great review!! The Liberty of the Seas is one of my favorite ships. 

When do you sail?? Trying to figure out how far out our bids will be accepted or declined

Thanks everyone 🙂

I added two more people to our two bedroom on indy and it wasn't repriced.  We just paid the same price as we did for the third person.

I know they will have to move me if I add a person,  that could be the difference......

From my recent experience they just added the person and priced same cabin for 3 people. They paid the difference 

Were you in a cabin that would fit the third person or did they have to move you?

Hmmm maybe I'll call them, I am guessing it all depends on who you get on the phone.....

Ok thanks, it would be  cheaper  to book him alone then  

I tried to search for the answer but I'm horrible at searching . I am booked and paid in full for our sailing in April. I'm wondering if I can add a person to our cabin. Currently we are in a 2 person only cabin, and we got a fantastic deal on this sailing. Will Royal Caribbean allow me to add on a person and will they change my price to the current rates? Thanks in advance

Oasis class has breakfast for free in JR.  There's a cover charge (I think it's around $9.95/person now?) for the rest of the day, and shakes are probably around $5.  

Someone else can confirm the cost -- I always eat lunch in the MDR on sea days (gotta love Tutti Salad!), and have only ever eaten at JR once in all my cruises, mainly to say that I've done it.  Personally, I can get better burgers, fries, and onion rings at home for less money, and I'd much rather have a Tutti Salad for free!

 

Are the shakes included in the deluxe and/or refreshment  drink packages ?

I don't think that's correct.  Everything I've heard is the arcade system is separate from on board account, so the only "limit" you can set would be with the kids themselves.  

Thanks for the information,  so if I get my granddaughter an arcade card she wouldn't be using her seapass card right? 

Anyone know if you are allowed to bring swim noodles when you go on a snorkeling tour??

I am  wondering if we can bring swim noodles on a snorkeling tour to the reef. We are sailing with RCCL if that makes a difference  🙂 thathanks in advance 

Carnival let me put a cap on my kids card, so I would put $$ onto the card in cash and when they were out I would put more on it.  They were not connected to my credit card.  I'm sure you could do the same with Royal Caribbean.  Those arcade  games add up fast !!! 

I'm having issues logging into the rccl.com website..... Anyone else having problems?

We are sailing on the Rhapsody in April.  Does the app work with my ship? It shows my reservation (and linked reservations) but then says "your reservations on ships not yet available in this app"..... does that mean it's just too soon, or the ship doesn't have this service??

The Radiance of the Seas had one in the Pub.... it was always  busy 🙂

I didn't think so 😞

Does Izumi have the hibachi tables?

I've been on 7 RCCL cruises and just as many CCL cruises. I am not a super picky person nor am I a foody. 😋 IMHO both lines are good and I love them both.  Royal does have better entertainment , but that's not to say that I don't enjoy Carnivals entertainment.  The food is close in quality in the MDR, however  specialty restaurants,  I would give it to Royal. Carnival has friendlier staff.... Not to say that Royal doesn't have a friendly staff. I have enjoyed every cruise I've taken.  Last one was Carnival,  next one is Royal. 😎

I take ginger capsules. They work great for me. I start taking them the night before we cruise.  Then I take one in the am and one in the PM.  I like to be able to drink alcohol so these work great for me, and don't make me drowsy.
