That's what compelled me to take ultimate package over premium for my upcoming Freedom cruise. 1 coffee per day and it's break even

I have not seen any package longer than 5 nights, but as Candie said, you could buy multiple dining packages.

Thanks for sharing the details! What did you do on the tour?

Your TA should be the one hammering them for details and getting an update for you. Just because Zumba group is on the cruise, does not mean they have booked the entire ship (unless I missed that detail in your original post).

The second night is almost always the first formal night. On a 7-night cruise, it's night 5 or night 6 that is the second formal night.

There are clubs for teens to hang out in, with activities provided in the club, as well as teen-specific events onboard the ship that are listed in the Cruise Compass.

Having been on Oasis and Allure, I have always felt the ship manages the crowds extremely well. The only instance I really noticed a large crowd was in Windjammer for breakfast. It's smaller than WJ on other ships, but plenty of good alternatives.

In St. Maarten, your 4 year old will love Le Galion Beach: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/06/09/excursion-focus-le-galion-beach-st-martin

Wow, that is really surprising. Then again, if the worst aspect of my cruise is a lack of banana-flavored drinks, I would consider that a great cruise :lol:

We take a box or two off the ship too for our kids. They are great snacks, especially for shore excursions

Yes to both questions. It will be on the second formal night

Here is a look at the outlets in a room on Harmony

Glad that worked for you

My dream dining rotation consists of a random selection based on a 3 sided dice that has Izumi, Sabor or both written on each side.

I would not expect that to be a problem. Let them know ahead of time and they will do substitutes for you. As to what those substitutes are, I cannot say.

Admission to one fort is good for both forts. You can easily do both forts on your own. They are close enough to be walk-able. I recommend walking down one of the smaller streets away from the fort, so that you can make a pit stop half way at a nice bar for a cold drink.

Sorry, but we do not have that feature in this version of the forum. Might be something that would be coming in the future.

There is no time limit. If you order a beer, chug it and want another, that's fine. Obviously if you are taking the drink back to your chair and returning often for more, they might suspect you of abuse (sharing the package benefits with others). The only time restriction I am aware of is with the self-serve soda machines, where there is a 10-15 minute time limit to prevent sharing.

Welcome to the message boards!

Precisely. He cannot order two drinks with one card, but can take your card and get two drinks at a time.

I was thinking transatlantic too

Solarium was my first idea too, but also the Promenade deck on Deck 4 or 5 has seating and no music there. Great views of the ocean from anywhere.

The carry-on wine allocation of two bottles per stateroom is only allowed on embarkation day. In any other port, US or otherwise, they will hold your wine until your last night.
