2 more!

Ben and Jerry's is extra, the prices are posted in the photos. There should be free ice cream self serve somewhere on or near the pool deck.

Flow Rider is free. No reservation required. Waiver of liability will need to be signed (flow rider, rock climbing, skating). You should be able to sign all waivers online prior to your cruise, or can do once on the ship.

Hilton Rose Hall all inclusive for the day.

17 days!

Finally almost here after cancelling the Harmony in December due to back surgery.

We have a b2b cruise in a suite booked for March and always buy cruisecare insurance. My husband had a sudden detached macula and retina, emergency surgery, and we can't go on our cruise that we booked a year ago, and bought cruisecare insurance a year ago too. I cancelled as soon as he was admitted to the hospital, the same day we found out . NOW we are being told that we are in "the PENALTY" phase and will only get back a few dollars IF the insurance claim is accepted. DO NOT waste your money on cruisecare insurance through Royal Caribbean!!!

I had to cancel 2 cruises booked with Royal Caribbean due to medical issues. The first cruise I purchased cruise care insurance. They wouldn't cover my pre-existing condition and refused to reimburse me. Royal Caribbean was then contacted and refunded me in full!

The second time I had to cancel my cruise one week before sailing. This time I had not purchased cruise care insurance. Royal again reimbursed me but at 60% of my cruise fare plus taxes.

If you have problems with cruise care, follow up with a specialist at Royal Caribbean for help.

Tom

Thanks,I'll look into that!

Tom

Can you pay upon arrival, or does it have to be pre-paid through their web site? Thanks

Tom

We have not, but are going to book the Sonesta Great Bay Resort for the day pass through resorts for a day.

Perhaps go to tripadvisor to get reviews for the Maho location.

They're both $89/person from 9-5pm

Tom

Harmony and freedom are departing FT. Lauderdale on the same day (12/10/16). Can royals terminal accommodate both ships at the same time or does royal have multiple terminals? Has anyone ever experienced two ships being in port at same time?

 

 

Rccl- allure 12/9/12

Rccl- freedom 12/10/16

Rccl- navigator 12/8/17

And I'll be waving at you from the Harmony!😎

Hey hey, you're right. Mine says September 12th 5:00pm eastern. Thanks

You are welcome!

My guest invoice stated the date and hour final payment was due by.

It said by 5:00pm

They are modeled after the Quantum Class cabins. Not the typical cabin setup.

You can contact whoever booked your cruise and remove the prepaid gratuities if you want.

Thanks Bob,

But I prefer to pre pay. Less I have to deal with at the end of a cruise.

Tom

When My time first came out u did have to pay them upfront, but no longer.

Yah, I just check Royal's website. You no longer have to pre-pay gratuities if you choose My Time Dining. I had to pre-pay gratuities on my upcoming December cruise on the Harmony. However, I booked it last year and wasn't aware of the change.

They do still show that option on the website to pre-pay. But is not mandatory like before.

Tom

Also enjoy the Adult Solarium with large capacity hot tubs that overhang the ocean. The Royal Promenade, Central Park, and Boardwalk areas are awesome. The casino at the time I was on it was 1/2 smoking, 1/2 non smoking.

The main theater production shows are top notch. Aqua Theater and rock climbing walls are a must. Zip line was just so so. Flow riders are a must. There are several for fee restaurants to choose from if you so desire. An ocean view balcony is what we stayed in and enjoyed.

You will have a great time on a great ship.

I see you like Celebrity. We did try the Celebrity Silhouette for a change. It was nice, but wasn't for us.

Tom

oh i meant to ask about daily gratuities. i know we have to pay so much per person per day as on our last cruises...how much is it?

If you chose My Time Dining, the gratuities (dining and housekeeping) are added automatically to your total cruise fare, and will be part of your final payment. No need pay extra except for alcohol. Gratuities for alcohol are automatically added at 18%. If you wish to add more it's up to you.

My Time Dining is held in one of the main dining rooms on the ship. Some ships have 2 levels of dining rooms, some 3. One of the levels will be specific for My Time Dining, the other(s) will be for Traditional dining. The menus will be the same as in the Traditional dining room. Only difference is the flexibility of when you want to eat versus early and late dining.

There will be a menu posted outside of the main dining room for each meal they have. They will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus posted. I believe the touch screens near the elevators will also show the menus.

Unless something has recently changed, room service is free up to a certain point of time. I believe until midnight. Then there's a small charge for the service.

Tom

Our cruise in February just got the 20% off sale, which I know is not always a true sale, but I can't find my screen shot from before the sale for the final price. What is the regular price on the premium package? For ours it is currently 51.92/day including service charge. I know I am not getting it, but my wife has been on the fence about it, so checking for her.

The current 20% off promotion for my 7 night Harmony cruise in December is:

Beverage package - $36/day or $297.36

Premium package - $47/day or $388.22

Ultimate package - $53/day or $437.78

Just take the price per day and add 18% or subtract the 18% to give price per day.

Your $51.92 per day is better than my $55.46

Also vote for Oasis.

I've been unsuccessful on 2 Western Caribbean cruises to tender at Grand Cayman.

Both weather related. So no guarantee you will make the island.

Could the rate be if you applied a special rate code? Senior, military, Washington residents, crown and anchor?

Tom

Darnit CB...just when I thought you were going to get a post right. :D

Lol!

Of course we "all" know Oasis class is larger than Quantum.

Except for a select few!

Not sure about the Mediterranean prices but,

I booked last June during the 30 for 30 sale for a December 2016 sailing the Eastern Caribbean.

Total for 2 including taxes and pre-paid gratuities - $2171 (D6 Deck 10 ocean view balcony)

Tom

Harmony December 10 2016

7 night

Premium $47/day = $329

Gratuities @ 18% = $59.22

Total for package = $388.20

This reflects a 20% discount they are currently offering.

Can't figure out which app for my iPad is best for periscope. Please let me know

In Safari web browser type in periscope.

Click on periscopetv, then click on the app store icon to download.

For some reason it doesn't show up in the apps section on the ipad.
