US tariff impact on cruising
Matt replied to Gadget Hackwrench's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'll let this thread keep going, but please keep politics out of the discussion. Purely cruise industry, stock, rising prices, please and thank you. -
Showing up earlier than assigned check in time
Matt replied to Bowen's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
In my experience, the check-in times barely matter. I can't recall the last time anyone asked me my boarding time, let alone made me wait in a designated zone with others in my time. I can't go as far as to say it wouldn't happen, just that it seems to have gotten quite lax lately. -
Welcome! You don't need to book through MEI for all events. There will be some events that are for those that booked with MEI, but a majority of the events are open to all. We're finalizing the event schedule and then when we have it published, you'll see what I mean. But rest assured there are opportunities to attend events with everyone. We try to be as welcoming for all, while providing incentive for those that booked with MEI and supported our sponsor.

Just to be clear, I eat a lot of seafood. I just dont eat shellfish. But I eat, and love, eating fish of many varieties.

Something like this worked for our kids: https://amzn.to/3FNPvxo

You can book the shows in the Cruise Planner on the Royal Caribbean website or in the RC app. I prefer to use the Cruise Planner website: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/account/cruise-planner Go to your sailing and then click Entertainment to see shows available.

Probably not, but technically it's not allowed. I've been in similar situations with kids, where more often than not, there aren't going to be the max number of people at the cabana at the same time. I think there's a good chance they might not say anything, but there's a risk

Easiest way I do it is log into the Cruise Planner. Granted, there could be extra OBC if your TA gave you some, but I feel like the example I provided covers most people's experiences.

It doesn't matter which ship or route. The "smoothness" is dependent on the ocean conditions and wind. In short, there is no ship or route that is going to be objectively more stable. It's kind of like flying, where turbulence can happen on a 777 or smaller aircraft.

We'll have a video out as soon as the ship returns.

I booked it for my kids to try this summer

It's released already for the most part. If you mean beyond April 2027, you'll have to wait until at least November of this year

Unlimited Dining Package / Izumi Hibachi
Matt replied to DisneyWorld30th's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Sounds like a glitch, but I'm not sure I'm tracking what you're doing. Are you picking hibachi for lunch, and then hibachi for dinner on the same day? -
Independence OTS - Pack and Play Space?
Matt replied to Rory86's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We've fit pack n plays in many much smaller cabins. But when I say "fit", I mean physically put it in three. Cant say there's a ton of space to get around it, but it's a necessary evil. Royal will provide a crib. They call it a crib, but it was always a pack n play in my experience. You can get a spare key, just go to Guest Services once you get onboard. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/12/06/baby-toddler-cruise-packing-list https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2024/08/16/mistakes-when-cruising-with-babies-toddlers-kids-teens https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/04/07/introduction-bringing-toddlers-royal-caribbean-cruise -
Super Mario 12,000 Cruise Points

Thank you Super Mario for proving to my parents I don't cruise THAT much -
Australian Transpacific releases for Sep/Oct 26
Matt replied to MikeBridget's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
PD at Lelepa is dead. Royal has already confirmed it will be a Royal beach Club instead -
I haven't tried the new AT&T plan, but one thing is important to think about when comparing cost to Voom package. These cruise packages only work while ship is at sea. It's a different charge when on land, including if you start off on land and then try to use it at sea later.

I can't say anything more, but more than what that red arrow points to will be developed.

Royal Up Ocean View Large Balcony Oasis
Matt replied to Married2Grumpy's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I think with anything related to RoyalUp, there's no telling exactly what you could get. -
I think the experience is roughly the same. The question is how much will it cost on your sailing, which is the same decision matrix cabanas and the Coco Beach Club have.
