Welcome to the message boards. I think they would connect after the stateroom attendant opens up the balcony divider. I'm not 100% certain, but all the new ships seem to have a connecting balcony option.

I can't personally flex on this, but there have been some crazy last minute solo rates for Icon of the Seas June 29. $1777 total for a solo gty

The $100 change fee is because you originally booked non-refundable cruise fare deposit. The change in price is just like if you booked a flight on a certain day and time and later want to change to a different day and time.

The issue with a travel router on a Royal Caribbean ship is it's not meant to be used to circumvent the device limitation. Meaning, if you buy the 1 device package and then use a travel router to connect your phone and laptop at the same time with the travel router, that's not what the wifi package accounts for. You can certainly purchase additional device package, or sign out of one device and onto the other device with no issue.

In my experience, the iMessage hack is a thing of the past.

As with many things on the Royal Caribbean app, check again in an hour.

Or go early. It's amazing the difference in crowds from 8am to 9am to 10am

FB groups for specific sailings can be made up of some truly irrational people. I would argue someone complaining about not finding ducks is not indicative of the practice being a bad idea, just them being ridiculous.

Interesting, I was not aware of this, but how the heck would they know it? Slots, sure you could do that but table games arent nearly as well tracked. I'm just curious how this is tracked on the backend with any kind of accuracy, or if there's just a threshold you could hit from withdrawals in the same way a credit card notices unusual activity.

Your first mistake was not working with a travel agent. I just text my travel agent and it gets magically done. I never waste my time on the phone with Royal.

An ancient post by @mpoole3 but the basic info is still accurate: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2015/01/29/excursion-focus-junkanoo-beach

You can definitely gift them, as long as you're there to order the drink with the card. I do it all the time. Yes, requires a bit of explaining but I've done it many times as well

Yes they do

Slot machines don't take the 5% fee, regardless of status. You can withdraw money and then immediately cash out and redeem for cash at the cashier.

I can't wait for Icon. I'm on Liberty of the Seas and the line for the Windjammer for breakfast on our first sea day was out to the pool!

It is absolutely allowed onboard, and Royal encourages the practice.

It wouldn't hurt to try calling Royal Caribbean's Resolutions Department at 1-800-205-9812 and see what they say. You never know

Mostly because of how far out into the Atlantic they are, it just makes more sense to stay there for 2 or 3 days rather than try to add another port stop (assuming they want the sailing to be 7 nights or less).

In lieu of the comments? I'd be fine with that idea. The comments area attracts all sorts of lovely people.

As long as you're listed as his spouse with Royal Caribbean, you'll get the same level and perks as him. You can speak to the Loyalty Ambassador onboard when you get on the ship to verify it.

Strangely my SetSail Pass on my iPhone showed Express Boarding in Bayonne. There was no line that I could see for it in the terminal.

I wouldn't do it or recommend it.
