Thank you!

Hey I can see spa treatments on the cruise planner but. Won’t let me add to cart. Says no offering found. I forgot what the gratuity percent is? 20%? Please let me know. Thanks. Be safe all.

No, not really.  Prices are all over the place depending on ship class and dates.  The UDP seems to be running fairly consistent for the non-Oasis and Quantum class at $154 PP.  My August Symphony is $189 and my Dec Oasis is $179. Drink prices are all over the place and seem to still be very high for 2021.

Wow. Oh my goodness that’s high

For a 12 night December 2021 cruise the Ultimate drink package is 68$ per day or ultimate drink package plus VOOM is 85$ per day not including gratuities

Here's some background footage/B-roll from Royal Caribbean showing the casino back in 2019.

 

Wow. Casino looks ridiculously spacious. Can’t wait to play play play!

The generally frown on photos taken in the casino ;).   But I've been there alot....seems nice enough...lotsa tables and slots for a boat

My biggest gripe (which seems to be the same on all cruise ships) is a lack of high limit play for both Slots and Table games. 

What’s thee limit? Is there a maximum play? Like a ridiculous low amount of 100$ or something?

Crown and Anchor Society.

please correct me if I’m wrong, but. Will I get 2x the points because I booked an inside cabin with virtual balcony on Anthem of the Seas for my solo cruise? So for this 12 night cruise I’ll get 24 points??! So excited. Be safe all.

Next cruise is December 12, 2021 to December 24, 2021. 12 night southern Caribbean cruise out of New Jersey on Anthem of the Seas. 586 days away. Solo cruiser.

Hey all! Decided to move my November 2020 solo cruise to December 2021 - 12 night southern Caribbean cruise. Because of coronavirus. And even though it’s 586 days away! I’m excited. Getting the deluxe bev package with VOOM and the unlimited dining package. Waiting for more shore excursions options to show up before booking any shore excursions, but def will pre book.

my question is anyone been on Anthem of the Seas Casino??? If so please reply with pics I’m obsessed. Wanna see what I’m getting into. Can’t wait to cruise again! Be safe all.

Thanks @PRebecca

@ellcee Cool tip, thanks. This will be my first vacation alone so imma need the internet package for sure to keep in contact with my parents even though I'm 30 plus years old...plus I love to post on Instagram.

i just came back from an ncl cruise with my parents (my parents like princess cruises and ncl) so I tagged along, was alone for most the cruise but dinner every night we meet for dinner and it was nice to know they were there if I needed them. Traveling alone for the first time is going to be a big deal for me. Any way my Instagram is vincenza.divincenzo     There are some posts of the ncl cruise I was just on. But honestly since my cruise last year with my then boyfriend on adventure of the seas I decided loyal to royal

Thanks for all your input! I guess solo cruising is more common then I thought.

Going on my first solo cruise next year and was wondering if there's anything specific I need to know about solo cruising?

so excited but nervous. Will be on Anthem of the Seas November 29, 2020 to December 7, 2020. Going to the Bahamas. Leaving from New Jersey, I live in New York so I won't have to fly to port, I'll be taking a cab to and from port. 

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi my name is Vincenza and my boyfriend's name is Joseph. We are both from Queens, NY. Last year went on my first vacation with my boyfriend, a RC Cruise. Loved it so much we are going on another RC Cruise in Dec 2019. Will be blogging about our cruise in the live cruise blog section of message board on this website. 

Can't get enough cruising info. Love RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com 

So cool @TheHobbys definitely following this blog! Can't cruise Star Class, me and my boyfriend get interior stateroom when we cruise but Loving ur blogging on ur experience...ahh only if only lmao lucky you, ur fam, and any other star class guest. Ok ok I can't lie. Even in interior stateroom on RC Cruise me and my boyfriend loved the cruise experience. 

Happy Cruising.

Has this ever happen to any RC cruiser?

I go on cruise planner and look at past purchases and see one of 4 Shore excursion canceled. No notice by email or phone call. No refund to debit card where excursion was purchased. What's going on???

Any info on Rhapsody of the seas especially casino onboard info would be appreciated. Thanks! 

Happy Cruising

RC gift cards exist, but they are quite a pain to use. Technically, they are gift certificates but their redemption rules make it a lot more annoying and frankly, not worthwhile to use.

Yea looks like double work with these certificates if I have to pay fee anyway

Are you at least a Prime tier level with Club Royale ?  If you are, you are exempt from paying the 5% "convenience" fee and can get $$ on your Sea Pass card at the casino.

I know nothing at all about the gift card(s) so I'm no help to you there.  Sorry.

If you are NOT a Prime or higher member of CR then (aside from the gift card idea, of which I have no information), I'm afraid cash or opening a line of credit with CR would be your only options.

If you do not know whether or not you are a Prime tier level, call Club Royale and ask.  888-561-2234

Turns out I am choice level not Prime. I guess there's no way to avoid fee. Bringing a lot of cash is not what I want to do. Maybe half cash and half debit card will do.
