    Just a note based on my own experience. Let's say you are trying for a kid or know one is on the way but don't have a name or don't want to divulge a name for a sailing in the future. Your best bet is to use someone else's name. Changing names is easy and does not incur a new fare, whereas adding someone later on can incur a new fare. One time I used my mom's name and then when my daughter was born, changed it to my daughter.

    In Belize, I got in line about 30-45 mins before tenders began. Stinks waiting around, but we were on first tender ride off the ship. Also, if you stay in a suite, concierge can assist.

    They just added the pre-cruise purchase option: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2017/06/15/royal-caribbean-adds-arcade-credit-pre-cruise-purchase-options

    Agreed

    Goes without saying this is against the rules of the cruise line. My personal thoughts are like it or not, the drink prices are what they are and you can elect to limit your drinking to on shore and save a ton of money.

    Great start! Thank you for sharing

    Thank you for listening!

    Bottle of water is roughly $2

    You can get a small preview in my Anthem of the Seas Live Blog I did earlier this year: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/anthem-of-the-seas-live-blog ...and also probably much more expensive

    You are among many other folks on these boards that really enjoy the curry selection.

    How long ago was this and what company? I'm not aware of any company that can do on-ship deliveries other than RC's gifts service.

    I think you'd find this post helpful: First time cruisers: The most important things to pack for your Royal Caribbean cruise

    Was going to say the same thing. You certainly wont be the only person to decorate a door.

    These days, I wait and space purchases out. I used to jump on buying things early, but unless there's a weekend sale going on, I bide my time.

    In general, drink packages you get for free are not upgradeable. I know that is true of the free soda package given to guests who stay in a Boardwalk balcony room.
  18. Matt
    Yes you can. All you need is the reservation number and last names of the people in the other rooms. When you go to purchase a drink package on the Cruise Planner website, there is an option to add guests from other reservations.
  19. Matt
    Unfortunately, you cannot. Local laws forbid that sort of practice in general. In fact, travel agents get their hand slapped for selling out of their country/region unless there is a good reason (like a group cruise).
  20. Matt
    Great deal!
  21. Matt
    Yes you can. There's a walkway that leads to the bridge that leads downtown. Easy and enjoyable walk.
  22. Matt
    Reservations just make your life easier. I'd say they are a really good idea for formal nights, holidays, or a special occasion that you do not want to be locked out of. In general, if it's some random night that doesn't fall in those categories, I've had very good luck with walk up reservations. I think in all my cruising, I've been told "Sorry, we're totally full" perhaps two or three times.

    Looking forward to following along!

    Agreed. When you buy the dining package, you are trading advanced planning for saving money. If you are flexible, it can work out quite well in your favor.

    Having been to Curacao, I'd go back and just explore downtown. It's an easy walk and there was a lot to see there.
