No we don’t? It’s been rolled in as part of the fare since 2016 and there is no way to remove it. It’s not a seperate line item and literally impossible to split out

The TA was great, but we ended up deciding to take a cabin on deck 8. I’m glad we did, I would have been unhappy with the level of obstruction on deck 7. Even from 8 you could see the top of the lifeboats while sitting on your balcony

My experience is the same as yours

There is no self service laundry on any RCI ship

You can afford to do it, you just choose not to because you prefer spending (or saving) the money elsewhere. Others make different choices

Yes, and Labadee

There is no specified time requirement between drinks, but ordering multiple drinks in quick succession is one of the behaviours they are trained to look out for as it can indicate sharing. So you might find bar staff scrutinising your drinking more closely to make sure it’s actually you consuming the drinks

Add me to the votes for Alhambra, we did the RCI tour there on a TA out of Barcelona & it was amazing

Yes 2 bottles of wine per room. No irons available for guest use but you can send items out for pressing

Odyssey Transatlantic in April

La Spezia is RCI’s normal port for that area. Industrial/commercial ports are used in many parts of the world

This is just a math question - at $8.99 if you drink 3 or more sodas daily on average you come out ahead

The package is attached to a person not a room

It was a tie in when the musical Chicago was on Allure. Haven’t seen it since that musical ended

The tram is not an attraction, and not designed as an “opportunity to see beaches pool or other attractions” - it’s a method of transport around the island. Honestly I don’t know what the heck people are thinking

There is literally a giant map board at the island end of the pier. It’s the first thing you see when you step on land. Could you not generally tell from where you were that the island was a lot bigger than that area? If you were at chill island (it’s a bit unclear from your post as you listed CI as both where you were and one of 3 beaches you didn’t know about) then you had to have walked past harbour beach.

In my country the expression” power board” means it has both a cord and multiple outlets. “Double adaptor” or “multiple adaptor” has no cord but 2 or more outlets. We have always taken cordless multiple adaptors (especially multiple USB adaptors for charging) and had no issues.

the cruise line really asks for very little - it has to be an official result with your name on it and saying negative. The letterhead of the test facility will contain all of their appropriate details. They will email it to you after the test. I think you’re making this into a big hassle in your mind due to your unfamiliarity with the process. It’s really not complicated and you shouldn’t worry

100% agree with you. All costs of every business are borne by the customer, whatever is left over is profit. In Australia they actually have just raised the prices and rolled the gratuity into it, it’s not a seperate line item and cannot be removed.

RCI recommends after 12 noon

Laser tag and ice skating are not bookaboe activities, you just turn up during the hours of operation (which will be in the cruise compass)

The UDP that OP mentioned is the unlimited dining package. They will have already paid upfront and it won’t cost anything more to go to more than 1 restaurant on the same night

In our experience it never got earlier, others may have had different experiences

Your TA should be able to arrange a conference call with themselves, RCI and you to get this resolved

This is odd that people have such different experiences. We usually get the 3 night package, and the details of our courtesy reservation are in our cabin when we board.
