Can I take unopened bags of candy on the ship?

yes why not

Really stupid. How about the kids watch his stupid video and decide to do it? I hope Royal find some way to take legal action on this man.

I Was On My Last Cruise And Was Talking To Some Who Is Big In The Industry And He Said With More Ships The Cheaper The Cost Of Going On A Cruise. 

I hope the more ships the cheaper will be for cruising. I paid almost the same amount as me for 6 years old that not even eat much. So this RCI big spending really scares me a bit. Since 2000 I had only been sailed with RCI and coming in April will be the first time ever I will sailing with other cruise lines (MSC) for the Mediterranean cruise. I looked at the cost of the fare with RCI and the airfare and It was too expensive to book it. It will cost us almost double to book with RCI so we end up with MSC Bellissima. It is the brand new ship with MSC in April is a month old. Hope I make the right decision. However, this trip the ship is not my destination.

Just saw this posted over on CC as well....doesn't surprise me at all. But what does surprise me is the amount of money this must cost and how much higher cruises fares will have to go to finance all this.

I like the idea of switching ships in some cases..but that sounds like it will be only for the suite guests which wont include me. And up to 10 more ships to be ordered??! I don't think that kinda demand is there...especially when all the cruise lines are building these massive ships.

I still say that at some point all this spending and increase capacity is going to come back to bite Royal. Everything goes in cycles and when it turns back down, that's a lot of islands and boats to pay for.....

Agree, I think RCI moving too fast. It needs to slow down a bit on spending.

Am I supposed to see them in the cruise planner

No. Just do it when you are onboard. It should be on the TV in your stateroom that where we completed the form.

We love Thai food and wish RCI offer authentic Thai cuisine on the ship. 

Nice of you to spend time with your grandparents even though no Flowrider for you on this trip. Great pictures.

We haven't see a pin yet, not that it's a big deal to us.  It would be nice to get the beach towels though, maybe when we hit diamond...We're just 3 points shy of that, which we will take care of in a few days.

I was Diamond on my last cruise and got nothing. Not even a pin. 

When we are on Anthem last November, we have 83 points so first time Diamond but had never got any pins.

Hi RTripp.....

Thanks so much for your reply.  I did notice the number of people on the checkout page.  We actually have 9 of us, but 4 of them are little kids.  So, I was hoping to be able to squeeze one more in.  I wonder how strict they are with numbers in a cabana?  Like I said we have nine, but 4 are little kids.

 

This question, the answers here can be either yes or no. I suggest you email Royal Caribbean directly or message them on Facebook on this question. Royal should be the one answer you better on this. RCI Facebook normally answers the question really quick. If RCI said yes then you can print out the message of their reply so in case of the problem while you are on the Island.

first-timer here-  I purchased the deluxe drink package for $50/night right after we booked our cruise.  Now I'm getting emails offering a cheaper price.  Am I stuck with the higher price or can I somehow cancel the original order and purchase at the lower price?

 

Thanks!

cancel the one you already purchased then purchase the lower price.

He has decided that he wants SOUTH Florida for retirement.  Come on, Oct 2020

Now you will cruise 3 times per month then. 

Interesting on this trip. The stop at Cozumel on my upcoming cruise on Symphony has the excursion to Chichen Itza. Anyone took the trip? How is it?

I will sail on Symphony OTS in October. Following along

Not even close.   Many younger than me.  Besides, it'll be 2021 likely.  I can't repeat 2018 again.  

2018 = 15 cruises.         2019 = 14 cruises.     It is not repeat 

Did you get the points even though you missed one cruise? Hope ! you are because you paid for it.

My lifetime goals just a Diamond +.

I love Central Park.  I often book a cabin on decks 6, 7 or 8 so that I have easy access to Central Park, especially at night.  

I had never been on Oasis class so exciting will be sailing in October with Symphony and sure I will enjoy Central Park.

@twangster how many points are you in C&A? You maybe be the youngest ever to make to Pinnacle 

Thanks for a great blog. Fun to following along while I am in a dry dock. have a safe trip home.

We were there towards the end of June, if you have not been yet please do yourself a favor a go!  

Maybe in 2020 for Alaska. We booked 3 cruises for 2019 so not sure we can squeeze one more in. One of the cruises I booked was Mediterennean (one of my bucket lists). 

Not sure it was better than before or not I only eat pizza when I cannot find other things to eat but my son and husband said Pizza on Anthem was great. If you can wait they will custom make for you with toppings you pick.

@bhageerah What's the month you visited Alaska? 

First time C&A Diamond.

First time on Quantum class (Anthem OTS) and loving it.

First time did Thanksgiving cruise.

First time did iFly on the cruise.

First time went to 2 cruises in a year.

First time booked 3 cruises for next years.

@Lovetocruise2002 order Lemon drop Martini at Diamond Lounge. You might like it.
