Go to your cruise planner and select the terms and conditions 

That does not show you the included venues.  I am looking for the list of included venues on the Royal site for the UDP.  Is that list on the site anywhere?

6&8

Does anyone have the link to where they say the included specialties with the package?  I thought I had seen it before, but cant find it on the Royal site.  I want to make sure I have that printed.

Leigh Xuereb made Quest what it was.  He is now with Carnival and I sailed with him and Quest was every bit as wild and crazy as it ever way.  Very VERY adult themed and insanely funny.  It was this way it was when I did it on Royal when Leigh was there.  I recently did Quest on Grandeur with that married couple (CD and AD......cant remember their names but they were TERRIBLE).  There was no adult warning and they had transformed the game into something that was completely boring.  They allowed children in the Quest, and the hunts were not at all what previous quest had been.  We were seated totally opposite of the door, or we would have walked out.  It was a complete waste of time.  If Quest on all Royal ships is done this way now I have no doubt that it is not well attended.

Roatan Honduras is spectacular.  Royal offers an excursion to dive with the world famous Anthony's Key Resort there and it is breathtaking.  You can easily dive most caribbean locations, and I have found that in most ports it is far easier to setup your own dive then to use a ship excursion.  Make sure you talk to the operators in advance so they know that you are on a cruise ship, and will be able to get you back in time.  Welcome to diving!!  Enjoy!!

I have all my documentation printed.  If they try this on my sailing in October I will not be happy.  Contact corporate, they need to know that this is occurring so they can fix it.

I loved our 12 day on the Grandeur out of Baltimore.  I would love more long cruise options like that from other ports.

6&8

Used to be loyal to NCL.  Since new management took over a few years back they have been all downhill.  It is the most nickel and dime cruise line I have sailed by far.  The MDR food on NCL has gone WAY downhill since they added all the specialties.  The entertainment on NCL used to be amazing but is very ordinary now.  We tried Carnival again about a year ago and were completely blown away.  The added food options (Guys, Blue Iguana, BBQ) were all great.  The comedy was spectacular.  The main shows are a bit weak but for us the comedy is far more entertaining.  We have not looked back at NCL.

6&8

There are 4 in Windjammer (2 on each side) and one by the coffee shop.

I have Unlimited on my upcoming cruise, and will be taking my 2 and 4 year old to every meal.  We have cruised with them since the oldest was 10 months.  We have always taken them to all dinners.  They are well behaved, and if they have an issue one of us will take them out and get them settled.  There will always be the people that give you looks, but just ignore them.  As long as you are respectful you, and your children, have every right to be there.

Room temp is 69..... not bad

This is an amazing idea....

6&8

No, they are likely lined with a foil based material.  They will show on the scan.  if you try one at home cut the pouch open and check.  Rum runners are VERY inexpensive.  You could transfer that to them if you want that exact product.  Also remember the caps DO show on the scans, so put the caps under something like your bathroom items.  Alternatively, buying the liquor package is far more convenient.  

6&8

They don't typically monitor your cruise for price drops, they will "handle" them if you notice a drop and call and tell them about it.  You can do the same thing yourself direct with Carnival.  Travel Agents are a thing of the past, if you can use the site there is absolutely no purpose of a TA.  The PVPs can do all the same stuff.

6&8

Why even use a TA?  They typically provide no value whatsoever.  That is pretty obvious in this case.  Just book direct with Carnival.  

6&8

Your math is off.  You are 86 days out not 76.  There is no set time the are available, just keep checking.

The pier and a year's worth of dredging.  That is part of the construction. 

Exactly.   I am unsure if he was joking, or just doesn't understand how fragile reefs are.  

6&8

Has anyone done this dive since the construction at CocoCay?  We are worried all the construction damaged the reef.  I would rather not waste the time on a mediocre dive if there is nothing much to see.

Which is fine if he is with you. I just don't think unaccompanied 16 year olds should be in an adults only venue. 

I guess fortunately you are not in charge of that.  Anti-kid people on a family cruise are hilarious to me....

Hi, enjoy Royal as well as several other lines. We wish they had more longer cruises, particularly in Caribbean. Not interested in back to back, feels like a lost day. Last few years did a 14 night princess circle Caribbean out of Florida, and a couple 11 and twelve nighters out os San Juan on NCL. Older ships, but we don’t mind. Wish Royal would follow suit...I think there would be a demand....😉😉

I leave on a 12 night Royal on Saturday.

When it is two different ships it is called a Side to Side cruise.  The plan sounds ok.  Just make sure you are not late getting back.

6&8

Roatan has some of the most beautiful diving in the world.  If you are not a diver I recommend any snorkel trip, as the reefs and sea life is plentiful and the visibility it amazing.

6&8

I am signed up for my cruise on Saturday.  I can not wait.  Have heard only good things.  For $30 it seems like a very fun activity for a cruise.

6&8

How has the food been in the MDR?  Havent seen much food info!!  I will be on board on Saturday and would love to hear about the dining.  Thanks!

6&8

We will be on with you next week.  Can't wait to hear what you think of the food!

99% sure Izmui is not included with the BOGO.  That is what was told to me when I tried to book it.

If it was just the 2 of us travelling probably yes but our 20 year old daughter will be with us and at the most she will drink one cocktail a day .

I am not sure what she has to do with this.....she is only 20.  She can't drink on Royal ships and wouldn't need to buy the package.
