Traveler

Most of the times , the meetup location are across the street from Zeus temple

The only reason I can think off is the muster station assign to this cabin already full (or in general or number of kids) . Try a room on another area or another deck , see if you can book it.

The thermal suite include dry sauna, steam room, rain showers, heated seats room and some do it yourself exfoliation treatment . Not sure if there is a free steam room anywhere else . On the Symphony last year the package for two (for the full week) cost us around 200$

I think you are right , they will do the calculations .I guess wonderland is like coriander or you like it very much or you hate it but still , RC opened one on Harmony after they already had it for few years on the Q class and then after it was running for at least 1.5 years on Harmony they opened one also on Symphony. I guess it also a matter of markets. Its interesting , lets take for example Sabor, which if you will read this site is one of the best restaurants in RC (well at least as long as it served the table guacamole) , RC decided to remove it from the new ships. Regarding Wonderland , we went there twice , I like the food (well most of it), yes on the second time the tricks are getting old but still it was good . I think it will be nice if they will refresh the menu from time to time or maybe even have few nights as the wonderland experience and few nights with other kind of menus.

Maybe Wonerland is not poplar in Oasis of the Seas since it dose not exist there ? Anyway I Am sure they will add playmaker as it is very successful on the other ships

There are mix of things here , I agree RCL can not do everything and some can be done only by the airline (as @twangster said , re issue once you started the travel or if the airline is changing anything the ticket can be locked to be handled only by the airline). Happened to me more than once that ticket had to be changed and my TA could not re issue and had to contact the airline for me. But I would expect that guest services will have some kind of procedures how to handle the situation even by simply heaving the phones of Air2Sea to be called. Anyway it is prove once more why its always better to come early enough to the airport , I travel quite allot but even if I do not have suitcase with me to send I am still arriving at least 1:45 minutes before if not earlier, I never know if traffic will be an issue or other surprises.

The best way checking it will be to do mock up reservation to the same cruise and check the timing they present in the extra details. Anyway , I would not trust the app yet.

To my opinion , formal night attire is what you feel comfortable with as long its not shorts , bathing suites and flip flops. After all you are on vacation , some people want to dress up , its good its nice and I guess they like it , for some it will be tuxedo , for some suites , other will feel Ok with sport jackets while other are OK with dress shirt and nice trousers. Sometime I take with me a sport jacket, there were times I used a tie , now mostly I will take a nice button shirt and a dress pants , I feel very comfortable with that even while I am in Europe cruises ,believe me , there were many people that dressed much less official. While thinking about what to take for official night, you should consider , suitcase space , wight, (if you are traveling by air, family picture opportunity, weather (it can be very unconformable to walk around outside when its 90f and humid in a tuxedo ... Also , the official attire is only for the Main Dining Room and special restaurants , you can always choose to eat at the buffet or other places .

If we would book cruises only per the reviews we would never go to the one of our best cruise so far (10 days cruise to Vietnam) or book Spectrum of the seas out of Chicana. This is true also for hotels. I think, in review sites people tend to write more bad reviews than good reviews , I guess people have more energy to write reviews when they have something to complain , a way to "punish" the vendor. I read reviews , but I use filters while reading them , its funny to read things like "worse cruise ever" and then to see that someone wrote it since the barman put too much ice in his drink or the ship captain did not want to wait for them while they wanted to use the happy hour offer on shore .

Not sure about the coffee maker , I just remember its not the Nesspreso like capsules. For special birthday , I will try the chef table on the ship , its a very nice experience and many time you get get it with discount if booked on board. As you are going to be on the suite you can come earlier to the port (10:30 am most of the times) and be boarded early which will allow you to try things like the water slides / SKyPads on Indi and other activities that becomes more busy.

By the way , That is why , or I write the content on another file and just copy paste it or before pushing the save button I do copy to the content so if I lose the internet I can still submit it once its back . but yes , heaving two device is always better ?

Also , which ship they will offer you , A J4 on a Vision class is not the same ...

August, Rhapsody of the seas , UDP dropped to 44 $ (usually 48-52)

Do they have hibachi table there ? if yes you may want to give it another try ? . Thank you for sharing your experience its very interesting to follow

You will not be disappointed , we went there around December and enjoy it very much , only issue , might be the sea weeds but the service , the food and facilities are very good .

So many open questions , until few hours ago only 400 people were rescued from the ship , if an engine broken cant it be towed ? I understand they did not want to use other boats to evacuate the people due to the high sea , Wonder what could have been done if the ship was in real danger .

No issue , Almost everyone doing it here all the time , just cancel your order (go to cruise planner , order history , your order , cancel) and book it again , The only things you need to remember , it will takes several days + for royal to give you back the money to the CC .

For me its not about the money but about the time. if I want to use the iron service I need to plan it at least one day before , sometime you fetch something that you think is ironed (even a T shirt) just to find out it has some wrinkles , I do not want to wait a day until I can wear it ... Actually I do not mind to pay for such steamer machine or even Iron room with a timer .

Per the movie of the incident , one of the cords of the bungee was released. I am not an expert but it dose not look as issue with ship movement , more like maintenance issue. Issue like that can happen , what worries me is that fact that the possible landing zone was not padded enough .

There are also many sites which teach you how to create such liquid , which is very easy. In the worse case scenario, there is always possibility to hang the shirt in the shower , open the hot water and let the steam do it works , its not very ecological , but works. I wish RC would have iron room on every deck.

It amaze me that people with real service dogs need to suffer due to that. Service dogs (for any reason) are trained to be around people and crowded places , they will almost never have accidents (well even people can have accidents) , to train them its cost thousands of dollars and there are certify training facilities for that. It a shame that there is not any way to give official certificates to real services dogs so RC will be able to allow them on board and not the other dogs. I love dogs, most of my live I had a dog , I just think a ship is a bad place for them if they are not real service gods .Train service dogs will never bother anyone and they highly contribute to their owner ability to leave normal live.

We got some free time in one of the shore excursions to eat our lunch , I calculate we have around 1 hour as it was 1 and we were suppose to meet again at 2 PM . we went to eat in one of the restaurants and we rushed the waiter , rushed eating , all to be able and go to the meeting point at time, When we arrived the meeting point and saw no one there I have checked again and I saw that its only 1 PM , for some reason we thought we are an hour later. well better to be early than late ?

I will suggest to take a cruise on s ship that has a nursery club/service so you can at least enjoy one or two adult evenings .

Well , its not about the speed its about the revenue ... Lets say you are traveling with two kids that just hooked to the social media and want to stay in contact with there friend , such router will allow them to do it with a single Voom package while if you can not use the router many will buy the two or three device Voom plan , just not to get to endless fighting who has the internet now. As long as the router "hacked" was something that did not influence the stream of revenue (as not many used it) no one cared , but if (and here I speculate) they started to see decline in the multi device plans they might wanted to start and close this option. Voom is one of the most profitable stream of revenue for Royal.

That also got my attention , this is the first time they are talking about investing (beside the usual dry dock for maintenance) in something smaller than the Voyager class. interesting
