It's been a few years since we've sailed Royal.  When you are doing on-line check in do they have you pick an arrival time for boarding day like Carnival does?  We are cruising with 2 other couples and want to make sure we can all board the ship together if they do.  Thanks!

For some time now, every time when I search cruises, see one I want to see what rooms are available, etc and I click on 'book now" I have been getting an error message in a red bar that says "We could not process your request. Please try again or call us at 1-800-764-7419". Anyone else experiencing the same?

They do offer gluten free.  My husband has celiacs and he really liked eating there!

This sounds like fun.  Please tell me about it.  Is it offered on the Allure?

Does Royal offer any Hard Ciders like Angry Orchard or Apple Ale?

We have signed up for MTD on the Allure.  On Royal's website it lists dining time beginning at 6 PM.  I was on the Cruise Planner wanting to make dining reservations, but each night listed the first time able to reserve as 6:45.  Are reservations required?  Can you just go to the dining room at 6 PM without a reservation?  Any info on how Royal does their My Time Dining would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Use the Cruise Planner on Royal's website:

When I sign into the cruise planner and go to Entertainment it brings up 0 results.  Should there be a list of shows available as soon as you are booked (just booked yesterday) or does it show up later?

How do you put in a reservation for a show?  We are booked on the Allure for June.

Go to Carnival.com. There are 3 tabs up top "Explore, Plan and Manage". Clink on Manage and it will take you to onboard gifts and purchase. You will need their booking number when you purchase.

Does anyone know if there are children's lifejackets for rent at Half Moon Cay? I don't believe Carnival will let you take the ones they have on the ship at the pools.

I have used the baby powder to remove sand and it works like a charm! They sell small travel size baby powder so it doesn't take up much room.:)

Interesting! Just sprinkle the baby powder on your feet, etc. and the sand drops off easier??

We have taken 3 of our grandchildren on cruises. Each time we brought along their passport and a signed and notarized authorization from each parent that they give their permission for the grandchild to be out of the country with us. We have never been asked to show this letter, but will I always bring one? ....yes for my piece of mind.

John Heald (Carnival's Ambassador) has posted twice to his Facebook page that this is an error and early cabin access is not being taken away from Diamond/Platinum cruisers.

We are renting a townhouse with 2 other couples and spending a week there this summer. Cannot wait! We've been to Key West twice, but only for a day on a cruise ship stop. Really looking forward to getting to spend time enjoying all Key West has to offer. Thanks for the pics.

How much does movement bother you? If you find out you are in a cabin where there may be a lot of movement felt, I would bring along ginger pills, non-drowsy Dramamine or consider getting the motion sickness patch. We have only done guarantee once for an inside and were assigned a cabin on Deck 9 and I was doing the happy dance!

On the Carnival website, sign in and go to Manage My Booking. When you pull that up you will be able to see if you've been assigned a cabin. Sometimes it doesn't happen until shortly before your cruise, but I would check daily just out of curiosity. Most usually you will be assigned a cabin prior to leaving for port, but there could always be the odd chance you're not....in that case you would find out at the port when you are checked in? Good luck! We have only done it once. Signed up for a guarantee inside and got one on the Lido deck!

If you are on a deck directly below Lido, you may here scraping noises from lounge chairs being moved around, but it was not enough to ruin my cruise. ;p

My husband has Celiacs and we feel Carnival does a great job. For several cruises now we have done anytime dining and had no problem. If we like the waiter we have the first night (and we always have) we request to be seated in his area each consecutive evening. Each evening they will bring him the menu for the next night so they can prepare his choices gluten free.

We just had to do this last week. Had a scenic ocean view (the ones with the floor to ceiling glass at the front of the ship) booked for 4 people and 2 people decided not to go. Our travel agent called carnival, got the 2 canceled out and luckily there was 1 scenic ocean view cabin for 2 and it was open! Got the 2 other passengers booked into that room.

Does anyone know what the cost is to rent a clamshell?

Does anyone know if there are any Segway tours in Key West? Thanks!

My husband has Celiac and we have been doing the anytime dining for the last several cruises and has always worked perfectly. If we like our dining team the first night, we request to be seated in their area each night after that and normally we went to eat about the time it opened every night.

If the Glory has the pasta place that is free for lunch but costs for supper, you can request GF. My husband has Celiacs and really likes this place.

We have been to the steak house on the Breeze and the Dream. Both were great. Because I was so stuffed by the time for the dessert course, I asked for mine "to go" to take back to the cabin and they were more than happy to do this.

We were just in New Orleans a couple weeks ago. Taxi for 4 people to or from cruiseport to airport is $60. $36 for 2 people or if more than 2 it is $15 per person ($60).
