Try this link to find which Budget discount code works best for you. This website also has discount codes for other car rental companies. I saved money on my last two car rentals (1 day rental).

The last time I used U112000 for a one way rental from Orlando airport to Cape Canaveral.

There is a July 30, 2016 sailing on Grandeur (5 day, Bermuda) listed on their website. See schedule of cruises.

Here are links to information from Royal Caribbean's website about sailing with disabilities and special needs. Your friend should contact Royal Caribbean's special needs department and ask them any specific questions that they may have.

You might want to do an internet search for "shuttle express downtown airporter". The Warwick hotel is listed as one of the downtown hotels that they service. It seems to be cheaper than taking a taxi if you don't want to use public transportation.

What port?

As others have said, you can set up a cash account. I'd strongly advise you not to use a debit card.

We have reservations for Homewood Suites. Excellent price, free breakfast and free airport shuttle. Just a few miles from airport. Great reviews on Trip advisor.

I am having a difficult time with getting anyone at Royal to get my group linked. I have tried to contact Royal they say Agent has to handle agent claims because we are set up as My time Dinning Royal has a policy not to link? Is there someone I can contact via email to try and get this resolved. We are a party "Group" of 10 and have prepaid and reserved My Time Dinning and Mystery Dinner but we are not linked together? Therfore we are being told that we are not reserved to sit together??

:confused: Thanks for any help..

I have had MTD for a party of 10 before when we booked our cruise with a travel agent. The travel agent was the one who had to link the reservations. I would call the travel agent back and ask again and ask to speak to a supervisor if needed.

When I have booked my cruise directly with RCCL I was able to have them link reservations on the phone by providing everybody's reservation number. Each party also had to call and do the same.

I always used to overpack, but have done better since I started using some of the packing advice that I've read:

Pick a color scheme using a few different colors so that you can mix and match outfits and wear some things more than once.

On casual nights, wear a top for the first time to dinner and then wear it later during the week with shorts during the daytime.

Bring a few pair of shoes that will go with multiple outfits.

Some people bring a simple black dress and wear it more than one night and change their look using accessories (scarf, shawl, jewelry).

Happy cruising!

Does the second floor of the dining room on the Brilliance (where I've been told the MTD seating is) have window seats? (I had early dining on the Radiance and never looked upstairs.)

Yes, our table in MTD was beside a window.

We enjoy both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and appreciate the fact that they offer reciprocal benefits. We make our booking decisions based on price and itinerary. Don't hesitate to branch out and include Celebrity.

In my opinion, toddlers are too young for swimming with the turtles if it is a catamaran excursion. I have done it a few times and there are usually several boats and lots of people swimming in the same area in deep water. It might be better to see if you can find a glass bottom boat trip to see the turtles or wait until they are older.

Does anyone know if the Brilliance has an actual gyroscopically controlled pool table on it? We sailed on her sister ship in 2006 (Jewell) & it had one.

Yes it does.

What's your favorite thing to do in Vancouver in the few days before boarding a ship to Alaska?

Have you checked the Canada/ Alaska/Pacific Coastal board? There are lots of great suggestions for Vancouver there.

Curious how big your party was? We have 11 and I fear we won't be able to just walk in without a reservation.

I strongly recommend making reservations for large parties. We made reservations for our party of 12 and sat at the same table and had the same wait staff every night. Our table was always ready for us and we never had to wait.

Is there an ice show on the Brillance?

Also do they play the ADULT game late one evening?

Thanks,

Joyce

No skating rink on ship. Yes, they do play Quest game.

Sailing on Freedom of the Seas in September, we have my time dining. How does this work? My reservation is 5:45 --8:45 do we arrive anytime during this time? I did put a time, and this showed up on my reservation.

Thanks, this is our first time cruising with RC.

What specific time did you select when you made your My Time Dining reservations in advance? Did you pick the same time every day or different times on different days?

When we made our reservations online, we selected 6:45 every night. On the cruise planner section of our online reservation, our dining reservation was listed as 6:45-8:45. I have made My Time Dining reservations in advance on several Royal Caribbean cruises. My understanding is that the reservation is for the time that you selected and does not mean to show up anytime within that window of time. We always stop by the dining room and check in with the Maitre D' to confirm our reservations in the afternoon after boarding the ship. Even if you make reservations in advance, you can still change them once on the ship if your plans change.

Enjoy your first Royal Caribbean cruise and My Time dining!

Drove by this morning, signage says December 2015

Thanks from the update. I'm hoping that it opens on time and that we can stay there for our cruise in April.

I think that OBC can only be used once you are onboard the ship and not for anything purchased in advance.

I called the main reservation number last week and was told March,2016. I was placed on hold a few times while the person checked into it. I plan to call back again in a few months to see if the opening date changes.

We are staying at Homewood Suites at Orlando airport. I recently read a review on Trip advisor that the family stayed there one night precruise and were able to get a day rate to use a room and hotel facilities after their cruise while they waited for their late flight. It's walking distance to several restaurants. It's worth calling the hotel to inquire.

We made a reservation at Homewood Suites near Orlando Airport for next April and got a great rate. Free breakfast and airport shuttle. Walking distance to several restaurants (Longhorn Steakhouse, Carabbas, IHOP, Fishbones, etc.). Excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. They have studios, as well as 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom suites.There is also a Hampton Inn and Suites Gateway right across the street with good rates.

Building a new Homewood in PC as we speak. Should be open this winter

Thanks for the information. Currently, we have a reservation at Homewood Suites at orlando airport at a great rate for our April, 2016 cruise. Where in PC are they building the new hotel? We might be interested in switching hotel if rates and location are good.
