saltcreekmom1 Posted May 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2022 First, can I search just in the RCI page? I tried but it brings up results for all cruise lines. #1- The last time we cruised about 8 years ago we were able to stick a luggage tag on a case of bottled water we bought at the store and have it delivered to our cabin. Can we still do that? #2- We are currently signed up for the late dining 8:30 timeslot. Is this going to really interfer with shows and nighttime events? What are the positives and negatives to early vs. late dining? Not interested in MTD since other reviews says it's a hot mess right now. #3- Is there a way to see an ala carte drink menu with prices? We are taking 3 teens and don't want to pay $600 for drinks when we would rather they just have a few "fun" drinks a day (a juice, a soda, a virgin pina colada). They aren't heavy sugar drinkers but will want a "fun" drink every once in awhile. Thanks, christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltcreekmom1 Posted May 26, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Okay... I was able to find pricing for sodas ($3.50), plain juices ($3.50) and nonalcholic cocktails like cherry limeade etc ($7). But, I cannot find pricing for shakes from Johnny Rockets or virgin drinks like Pina Coladas or smoothies from the Vitality Spa. Any ideas on those?

I have seen people say that mocktails (virgin drinks) are roughly $7-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OCSC Mike Posted May 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2022 As for early vs. late seating, there are usually early & late versions of the main shows so that you can go to whichever fits with your dining time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2022 You may bring on up to 12 soda, carry on only, up to 17 oz. Hopefully you cant get away with slapping a luggage tag on a case and bribing someone to take it as that person isnt the one stuck with delivering it to your cabin. The faq clearly says carry on only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topnole Posted May 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2022 8:30 diner time will certainly interfere with some shows. So maybe just eat early at windjammer in those situations. They typically have a couple aqua shows on the nights they do them. Again, 8:30 could be a tweener on that. Maybe ask to expedite the service depending on timing.

saltcreekmom1 Posted May 26, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I just called RCI... and he said they will not tell me pricing for any individual drinks if they aren't in the app. I'd have to wait until I'm on the ship. So lame. So, does anyone know pricing for: Johnny Rockets shakes Vitality spa smoothies and drinks Virgin Pina Coladas Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, does anyone know pricing for: Johnny Rockets shakes- I don't know, but I imagine $6-8 Vitality spa smoothies and drinks- These were $8 or $8.50 on Symphony in December Virgin Pina Coladas- looks like "zero proof" cocktails are $7 Thanks The refreshment package is worth ~2-3 non alcoholic cocktails each and every day. 2 if you'd get soda package anyways, 3 if not.

And at about 20 per day per teen I can understand why. That package is a waste of money on kids IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everAfamily Posted May 27, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) #2 - Teen evening activities usually begin at 8 pm. My DS (17) and I plan on earlier dinner reservations, so he doesn’t miss them. Edited May 27, 2022 by 4everAfamily Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster Posted May 27, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Always have booked late traditional dining. Like it as ship is less crowded in the early evenings as most seem to be getting ready and having dinner. We just get a snack somewhere to hold us over if need be. You can find shows that don't clash. Only part of the dining room on third level was being used on Allure a few weeks ago and was quiet and just walked in at 8pm without any wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
