Oh! Thank you so much. We just turned platinum which I know is only one step up from original but we waited three and half years to finally sail after getting hoping there are some perks for us!
-
I think my DH will want web access and I hate to overspend when we board. I waited so it is now 17.99. day for one device. Still considering adding a second but I’m ok unplugging figuring we stop four times and if I can find free wifi I can quick login right? Anyway-what is the most recent cost people have seen once onboard. Curious how much I’d be saving to get it now.

Use the cruise planner and set up as many shows in advance as possible. But do not rush to try to see and do everything at once - pace yourself over the week. You will have plenty of time to do the things you want. Things to do:
Aqua Theater
Broadway show
Production company show
Ice show
Flow rider
Comedy show (adult in nature)
Jazz club (if you like jazz)
Ultimate Abyss
Rising tide bar
Boardwalk activities
Escape room
Music hall
Zip line
Sports court
That should keep them busy.
This is my first sail (prob not the only person) where we don't prebook shows in cruise planner. So as soon as you get on you just grab them on the app?

I decided to book a morning sail with viator. The day is short 7am to 2:30 so I couldn't do something too long.

Hi,
I am SO late booking excursions probably because this is our third rebooked cruise and I was nervous to add more $$ but we sail in 27 days! 1) if an excursion on cruise planner says sold out does that mean it's def sold out OR do they save some spots for people to book onboard? 2) If it is sold out what do you recommend we do at Puerto Rico and what companies are safe to make sure you get back to the ship in time. We like to board way before sail away. I've already done El Morro twice so wanted something like land and sea combo to see more of the island. Thanks!

Hi,
I always book a regular ocean balcony with sofa bed (has a 🔼 symbol) With 125% credit thought we’d upgrade to a JS. We chose 7640 since it was avail but there is no symbol listed. Can someone verify to me that all JS definitely have sofas that convert to beds? (We don’t need Pullman beds) If it’s just a sofa won’t work. Thanks! I attached a pic of this part of the deck plan.

I was scheduled to depart out of Miami on 3/29 on Empress of the Seas. Need to fly from Newark., NJ. My deciding factor was worrying I would bring something back to my neighbors, elderly parents, children and two grandbabies. I feel by the time i flew home a week into April things could be much worse and I'd feel like I had to self quarantine for two weeks. Not wanting to do that, plus husband worried about being held on the ship if a passenger falls ill. I am a nurse and not an alarmist but this one is scary, highly contagious and I don't want it in my family nest. I feel like if I went and ended up giving it to someone when I came home they would have a right to be angry. We thought about just using the airline tickets and taking a Florida beach vacation but I still don't know what shape the airports would be in to come home. I have a cruise booked in June out of Bayonne that won"t involve flying and I hope that one will be a go! Stay safe!
That makes sense. Our last cruise was anthem out of Bayonne and I was so spoiled saying we like harmony better. Now I realize I was so lucky to be carefree on a cruise unlike now 😞

Thank you. This is exactly what I was curious to hear. We also will be more concerned if our port (Miami) has “issues” or the ports we are sailing too.I think it’s clear what that means. I heard two crew workers at everlglades had it.. not sure what they are doing in FLL now.
-
We are booked in three weeks and we are wavering like so many.. I keep reading either “we are canceling” or we are going if it still sails. Is there any circumstance you will learn that will make you change your mind? For example.. now royal Caribbean ships are having issues( they are not just saying as example) does that effect your decision?

Things to consider are that cruises bring people from all areas of the country and world. People will bring, unknown to them, diseases. One cruiser who reports a cold or Flu like symptons and your cruise will probably be affected with loss of port stops or possibly quarantine at end of cruise. How many of us would be able to or want to endure that hardship and inconvenience? Remember cruise lines are also transferring personal from ship to ship all the time. Hope they will maybe modify this policy with Princess experience.
Also, how will it affect your enjoyment of cruise with this underlying concern, flinching at every sneeze or cough of a fellow cruiser.
Just saying! We have a cruise scheduled in September and will be monitoring situation until final payment due in May. Definitley holding off on plane reservations at this time even though they have adjusted their policies. Trip insurance already purchased on cruise portion and understand that they will refund premium or alow one to apply to a new trip.
My two cents.
It’s completely true-I think someone would be lying if they cruised now and weren’t worried at every sneeze when the drs say constantly those droplets are how it’s spread. I really hesitate to get on and worry the whole time...

Administration officials have debated whether to effectively ban Americans' use of cruise ships for the duration of the crisis, another individual said, which could include steps to limit cruise ships’ access to U.S. waters.
Meaning we would get in in Florida and it would land/dock only at other US states or only US territories (Puerto RICO/St Thomas)

I asked who in this thread said anything about dying? Your response makes no sense to me anyway
I was trying to respond to the person who said best you stay home.. I want to go but it’s not crazy to have concerns and yes you are right I never said anything about dying.

Wow I’m not even afraid I will get sick if I go :? But feel free to join and try to instigate something not here. We want to go just trying to be prepared for worse case scenario.

Still makes me sick to my stomach thinking of being quarantined in military base and being away so long in an uncomfortable place. So hard to know what to do. Seems unlikely that this would Happen to a royal ship ?

JFYI quarantine procedures have changed.
There won’t be 14 days of quarantine on the ship even if infected are found.
Grand Princess pax will be quarantined at California military bases, Canadians at Ontario military bases.
That’s very encouraging to hear. Where did you hear or read this. I’d love to see it.
-
I realize this may be an irrational fear but how often do the toilets in cabins have issue flushing? We are three and one of my main concerns if we got quarantined is what if the toilet doesn’t work and we are stuck in the room? Anyone else questioning this? Do they rarely have flushing issues due to suction?

As long as our May cruise is not cancelled we will be going.
What line and what ports?
-
Did you all see another ship is now at sea pending virus tests (Caribbean Princess) They are all Princess which seems odd to me on a side note.

Good question, we have a cruise planned for Jan 2021, and we can’t book anything from the planner yet in the way of dinning or drink packages.
Let me know when more things are available for you on your cruise planner if you don’t mind 🙂 That might help me to know when it will pop for March.

Thanks so you are seeing exactly what I’m seeing and your cruise is earlier. Assuming it will be available to book somewhat soon for Jan.
Lower sugar ideas -refreshment package
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted
Trying to find some alternatives to getting frozen mocktails since I’m trying to watch sugar and calories. Besides ordered a little cranberry juice and mostly seltzer -any other healthier ideas for refreshing drinks besides diet soda? I can have some sugar I’m just trying to balance so not diabetic or anything. Thanks!
