Nobody can google translate faster than me!

This translates to "Can it be done without a computer? Too much trouble to get a computer? Can I use VOOM on my phone?" Yes you can easily log onto the ship's Voom with your phone. Once you connect to the wifi, it will prompt you.

Sorry, no way to get it

Yes that's fine. You can add up to 2 additional people More or less, yes. The attendants visit you quite regularly.

Yup

Complimentary until 10pm. After that, there's a $8/hr charge per kid

Chill Island, near snorkel rental, is where you want to go. You'll want to go get out early before swimmers scare away wildlife.

Can you share the ship and sail date?

It automatically goes away. You're at ~15 posts, so you should be good pretty soon. It's a spam mechanism that became a necessary evil

When I cruised on Allure, the luggage tags never showed up. Not sure why. We had the porters tag them when we arrived at the terminal.

Contacting Royal Caribbean is all you can do at this point. I'd also recommend transferring your reservation a travel agent so they can assist with these sorts of issues (and many others you may not even be thinking of).

Most important question: Will blacklane include a stop at Whataburger? Can't visit Texas without a stop!

Reservations are required. At the beginning of the cruise, they usually limit you to a certain amount of hours so someone can't book up all the times. But they will open up bookings by day 2 or 3 with no restrictions. Last I checked, it was $8 per hour per child. Make sure to go first thing when they open on day 1 in the afternoon (usually 1pm) and register your child and sign up for times.

I don't think it's that surprising. Royal Caribbean doesn't necessarily sell the best excursions out there in every port.

Wait until you price out a Disney Cruise....

Yup!

You're all in for a great cruise. The crew are fantastic and ship is lovely. Benedict in the pub is A+

No, they made a change in the last year to prohibit it.
