Riemercruisin

We are considering a quick beach cruise right after Thanksgiving. But everywhere I search, the reviews are awful.

Has anyone on this board been on the ship recently and can chime in?

Is she really THAT bad??

Yes, go into your Cruise Manager. Booking and Order page.

Edit order - cancel.

Priority embarkation, 1 large bottle of water, complimentary cookies.

Larger cabin.

I cruise in suites for the space, not for the perks.

I have a question about onboard bar crawls. I understand that I need to mind my own business, but this intrigues me.

It's now the 3rd cruise group page that I'm involved in where a bar crawl/cruise crawl is offered by seemingly a professional organization. There are links for registration and T-shirt sales.

Is this approved by Carnival? Because, what happens if we pay and these events are forbidden/stopped by the cruise line?

Carnival pays for the flights 60 days out.

I spy under steakhouse selections.

Not what I meant. There used to be Tenderloin filet on the regular MDR menu.

Unfortunately they also took the filet away from the Seaday Brunch steak & eggs, as well as from the Diamond luncheon.

I'm on the Celebration right now. There's a section of the MDR menu entrees called Every Day. On it is a grilled chicken breast and a broiled strip loin steak. It's the same two choices every night, it doesn't change. So the broiled strip loin streak is available every night as a choice on your cruise. 

The striploin steak is not the filet. The filet cut is Tenderloin.

Trying to settle a discussion. On the Celebration- is there a specific night that filet is offered on the new MDR menu?

Thanks, picked up a couple.  How long for email delivery?

Good question. I've been waiting over13 hours. Should I be worried? Usually I receive the emailed cards within the hour.

Thanks for the heads up!

Come on Carnival........make a change!  The little things add up.....

On the social media someone wrote that they were able to get cans at the coffee shop. I was actually hoping someone here would chime in and confirm.

We have used them many times. No complaints. They're on time (except 1 time pick up from the port) and the pricing is reasonable. 

I'm sure this has been asked before, but here it goes.

On the Celebration, if you have Bottomless Bubbles, can you use the soda machines on Lido for free?

And will they give you cans at Java Blue(Bubbly) and at the bars?

Actually on the Mardi Gras it works out better to have AnyTime Dining because this way you can eat early and for free in ChiBang, Cucina del Capitano and Pig and Anchor. 

If you have a set Dining time, you can only book these after 7.45 pm.

If it didn't have a sofa, your TA would not be able to book 3 of you in that cabin.

I print both boarding passes to show the port terminal staff if they inquire about my 2 bottles of wine.

So to do online check-in you need to provide a credit card?   

Yes. It's asking us for our card details in order to continue the online check-in process. But we wish to have a cash account. 

Thank you. And now for the silly question - if we don't check in online, how will we get our boarding passes and luggage tags?

We have been cruising on other cruise lines and going on our first RC cruise for Christmas. One important issue we ran into - when doing our online check-in on the App, there's no option to choose a cash account for our onboard expenses (like other lines).

Is this just not an option with Royal Caribbean?

But, there's absolutely nothing to be done in this case? This individual continues to offer excursions and cruisers are still being scammed by her. It has to stop!

Thank you for the detailed information. 

If I may ask an additional question- we have 6 middle aged/elderly ladies going on the Sunshine in December. 

Walking a long distance will be a problem. Will they be able to book a taxi or private transportation to drop them off directly at the cruise terminal? Their hotel is in Mount Pleasant.

Most people are saying they will cancel and refund OR charge the correct amount. 

Is Carnival allowed to just process your credit card without your consent?

What time do you have to return rental to jays?

6 pm. Not very happy about that, but that's their rules.

My friend lives in the Caribbean and received a check from Carnival for an amount left in his S&S account last cruise.

He's cruising again soon and can't cash an American check at his local bank. Do you think Guest Services on board will be able to accept this and give him cash?
