Good question. Are you booked as a group in RC's eyes? Meaning there is a group set up with RC's group? If so, you should have a point of contact in groups that can be contacted.

On Liberty, one of the most noticeable unique aspects to that ship are the water slides. Definitely a must-ride
-
No, it does not.

Full disclosure: I've never taken the ferry to the mainland, but most stories I have heard are about there being a lot of motion. Perfectly safe, but guests do tend to get sea sick on it.

Is there Adventure Ocean on Labadee?
Matt replied to DrunkysAmazingRaceWinner's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
They removed Adventure Ocean facilities from Labadee and CocoCay. When at those islands, Adventure Ocean programming is on the ship now. -
Oasis Suite suite sun deck/bar

Here are photos by Jackie Moore. She is a lovely lady and these are from Harmony of the Seas. Not exactly Oasis, but same class. -
Paying in Full BEFORE Final Payment Date
Matt replied to coneyraven's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Sometimes booking in advance is the best strategy, period. -
The Central Park Balcony rooms tend to be less expensive than ocean facing balconies, so the advantage is you still have a balcony but save some money. I really enjoy the CP balcony rooms and usually look for them.

FWIW, 5 ships in Cozumel is fairly normal.

You can disregard that

Yes, here is a good explanation: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/questions/can-i-bring-bottled-water-my-royal-caribbean-cruise Not that I am aware of, but you could go to Guest Services onboard and ask. I think it has more to do with the rules about the OBC than anything else. We did not see any on Allure in February Yes. Have the cabin attendant clear it out first. The fridge is quite small and not very cold, but you can store whatever you can fit in there.

I've heard that's possible, but cannot promise. My expectation would be that it would not be possible. In fact, of the times I've read about it happening, they cancel the package and then charge back every drink individually. Your better bet is to wait to book onboard and after a day or two, buy the package at a pro-rated rate if you find yourself drinking a lot.

On Anthem of the Seas, I'd recommend Wonderland.

Matt replied to TheParkers's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
As soon as it is announced, I will be working on at least 1 2018 GC idea -
Paying in Full BEFORE Final Payment Date
Matt replied to coneyraven's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It doesn't work against you, but does make things more difficult if you want to change the price later. My TA gave me good advice. Pay it all off, except for like $2-500. That way, if there is a price change, it likely will not be an issue. The reason why paying off the total balance can be an issue is when changing prices, RC has to first refund the money, change booking and then re-get the money. Easier to do this when there is a balance due. -
I don't know. I've assumed that at the end of the cruise, the crew members receive the tip. Back before automatic gratuity, guests would get those small envelopes and give tips on the last night, so it stands to reason that is still when gratuities are distributed.

New 2018 Intineraries Opening in January.....hmmmmm
Matt replied to TheParkers's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
That is somewhat earlier than normal. Usually, it is more like February-April (depending on the itinerary). Fingers crossed it will be January! -
The best stuff in Falmouth requires a 45-60 min drive. In the years to come, I hope and suspect there will be more to do closer to Falmouth, but in the meantime, you will need to drive to do the really fun stuff.

YOLO - Book It!!! -- It's all your fault Matt -- lol
Matt replied to coneyraven's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Bravo, well done! I booked Anthem of the Seas for next year just to get back onboard the ship, so I think that counts. -
Headliner showtime...same show 3 times?
Matt replied to nandjas's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Generally speaking, yes. One show and you've seen it. -
Drink packages on Coco Cay and Labbadee
Matt replied to pdurney's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes, the drink packages work at Royal Caribbean's private destinations. -

Thank you very much! -
They're essentially "hidden" and I bet most guests don't even know it's an option. Charging for them never made sense to me. Also, the checking in/out of towels seems to have returned fleet-wide with a vengeance.
-
Assuming a 7-night cruise? Something less than $1k. Depends on my mood and how good a deal it is.
