Well the hand sanitizer has alcohol in it so I think that is proof enough that wine is the answer.  

Interesting that @Matt 's cup specifically directs you to Share the drink package 

Allure Always has A+ Adventures.

Welcome to the blog board!
I feel cruise lines calling a port of call "Orlando" is a bit misleading as Orlando is pretty well inland.  The actual city is Cape Canaveral, and it is about an hour drive from Orlando/Disney/Universal.  If you are not taking an excursion then you will need to rent a car or get a ride (private car/bus/Uber/Lyft/taxi/etc).  With the closest casino being in Tampa then that's not worth the drive IMO.  I mean, there's one on the ship so why pay to spend half your day driving to one when you can just hit that one after you leave port?  Also there is at least one in Nassau that is much closer to the port.
Enjoy your cruise!

A short video covering some of the new technology RCCL is working on. Really loving their plans for the app.
(Despite the joke in the title it is 100% safe for work)
 

Each room will have several North American NEMA style socket, and at least one European CEE style socket.  The NEMA outlets will be 110 volts, the CEE will be 220 volts, make sure if you are using adapters that the devices can work on the voltage the outlet is providing.  Most chargers and electronics nowadays can operate fine with anything from 100-240 volts so probably won't be a problem, but worth checking before plugging anything in.

The "fine print" is worth noting on those packages, won't get the alcohol on board if sailing out of Galveston and isn't available on 15 ships:
 

Mr Pibb is fine.  It's delicious, refreshing, and totally lacking in pretension. He's not one of those "Doctor" sodas, putting on airs and flashing around his Ivy League diploma.
If the ship has a Freestyle machine then one of those should be an option regardless of what the bars might have on tap.

Yes.  But Voom is an internet service, not a cellular service.  You cannot send or receive phone calls or texts unless your phone company is set up so that you can do that over the internet.  You can surf the internet, send/receive email, and use apps (including voice/video apps like Skype).

That happens more often than you think

The local governments are in control of the reopening date.  They are asking for the cruise ships to return. Cruise line officials are ensuring they can fulfill that request in a safe manner.    Cruise ships in particular are a form of tourism that places less demand on resources compared to fly and stay tourism.  Cruises arrive in the morning and leave later the same day unlike fly and stay tourists who stay overnight when crime can be higher and who place greater demand on resources such as food, water, policing and potentially medical.  Crime can be higher in part because there is no money coming in and people are growing desperate in a large part because they have no income.  
Local governments want to reintroduce tourism to bring income but also to bring a sense of normalcy back, which itself helps to reduce crime and stabilize the region. Cruise ships are the ideal answer for how to a slowly reintroduce tourism.  
 This isn't the first hurricane to have this effect, many islands have gone through this before.   When I cruised to St Marteen  in the late '90s it was soon after that islands last such hurricane hit with similar devastation.  
EDIT - in another forum I participate in a similar thread is evolving.  A resident of St Thomas is posting and they want tourists back.  They are not sure how they are going to pay the rent this month and while they are not fully restored (no power at home yet), they are eagerly waiting to welcome us with open arms.  They need the money.  So for anyone that does go to a recently opened island, be generous, tip well.  An extra $5 or $10 is nothing relative to the cost of a cruise.

I will be honest: I'm just here for the kidney.
Also congrats.  Numbers may not be the metric being sought, but people (and I am a people) don't generally join a message board they don't want to be a part of.  Generally...

I wanted to congratulate @Matt for hitting the 5,000 member mark on the forums. I also want to thank all of the members for the kindness that they've seen here to create a great, friendly environment for cruise fans.

I find myself ordering drinks I would likely not otherwise order simply because I have a drink package.  Such as waiting for a show to start, when the waiter walks around at the pool, etc.  To your point, my mindset when I have a drink package is "why not?".

I don't think any of us were saying the cruises would not happen, they will, but depending on where you live flying to San Juan can be an all day event, with any delays you could miss the boat, so OK, you fly in the day before right, well you have to stay someplace and the last I heard a small percentage of the island has power, so what are the odds you find a hotel that has space and that has power, etc. etc.
You will probably be alright, but it is a lot of challenges.

Really I can't think of a reason you would want to book a cruise out of San Juan so soon.  Having one booked and already past the refund date is one thing, but to book a last minute cruise and go there at this time seems ill-advised.

Oh good, I was afraid I was the only one who felt really uncomfortable with the implied undertones of those comments...

Whether or not this is a fan site, it is clearly a site dedicated to RCCL and thus is guaranteed to have some bias.  I'm sure we all try to be fair, but this site is not called "Unbiased objective observations of all ocean cruise lines blog."  We clearly are coming in to this ready to provide RCCL the benefit of the doubt when possible.
Now when someone decides to join said site for (apparently) the express purpose of complaining about Royal's reaction to a bad situation, what are we to think?  Said person didn't ask opinions, or whether we thought there was anything they could do to make things more to their liking.  All I saw were complaints, nothing but venting.  So we know nothing about the person complaining, no familiarity or other previous contact.  The company that is the target of the complaint, however, we all know well enough to be members of a blog dedicated to said company.  How exactly is this supposed to go any other way than it did?  If anything I'm impressed by the restraint shown by the members trying to defend RCCL.  Far more restraint than the sarcasm soaked response given to them.
Regardless, I wish the poster good luck with the situation.  We have all had those moments in our lives, anybody who says they don't understand the frustration shown.  I would only ask that a more constructive conversation or course of action be considered in the future.  And paragraphs would be helpful as well.

I certainly understand the frustration.  What I can't understand is how someone comes here and makes that their first post.  How should we react to that?  It's like stopping a random stranger and complaining about coffee just because they are at a coffee shop.  Does that automatically make us compadres?
