Fridges on Serenades?

[K Kruisers]

Does anyone know if there are refrigerators on Serenade? I need to store insulin.

We had a fridge in our cabin. It doesn't get super cold but is cool

 

For additional information or medical needs you can contact special_needs@rccl.com

There are but they are not very cold. If your insulin needs an actual refrigerator, you should most definitely contact the special needs department at Royal Caribbean in advance of your cruise:

They can have one available in your stateroom.

In addition to the above email address the phone # for special needs is:

 

(866) 592-7225

 

Sometimes it's best to speak to someone directly and have all questions answered on the spot rather than wait for an email response.

Keep your confirmation e-mail. On our Thanksgiving cruise there were a couple of us that has pre-confirmed fridges for medicine only for the Serenade to have no record of it once we got on board...

That is very good advice! We don't have need of one, but the disconnection between shoreside instructions and shipboard services is unfortunately very apparent when it comes to customer requests or special needs. :(

Most insulin nowadays can go without refrigeration for a couple of weeks without a problem. The fridge in the cabin should be sufficient. The fridges are in a cabinet...keeping the cabinet door ajar helps the dorm-style fridge cool better...airflow and all that!

We've been on 9-10 RCCL cruises, all the little refrigerators have been borderline lukewarm. If you need something colder I'd highly recommend contacting them in advance or on the ship.

"should be sufficient" is hardly a ringing endorsement and I'd recommend that the OP check with his or her doctor or pharmacist as to the temperature required to keep the insulin safe before following your questionable advice.

Was on the Serenade last year with a confirmed medical refrigerator from special needs for insulin storage. Once on board our cabin steward said there were no medical refrigerators on Serenade. He stored the insulin somewhere for my travel companion and had it in the room in ice every night and then returned it in the AM to a refrigerator somewhere. It was inconvenient but worked well every night except the night he forgot to leave it :( He had to come back after going off duty to bring it.

Tell you attendant and they will bring in a additional refrigerator for your insulin separate from the one for the stocked bar.
