I will be on this cruise with a group.  Anyone know when Dining, Spa options should become available in the Cruise Planner?

If you look at the pictures on Google, seems they change the store front. some pictures display super covi and other casa del duero. It is the same place in front of Perssa.

Ok thanks

Cozumel is my home away from home. spent 2 holidays renting a condo in paradise! You want to go to Cava del Duero , Av. Lic. Pedro Joaquin Coldwell 599 B, Centro, 77600, Cozumel. It was refered to us by a local as the cheapest booze on the island. Good selection available and we got great tequila at half the price from home (Canada). Maybe on your way out of the port, check prices so you have something to compare with. Hope this help! Have a good trip! 

Is Cava Del Duero the same thing as Covi?  Whenever I google Covi, Cava del Duero comes up.

Can you do the virtual stateroom tour of the cabin your specifically booked?  Or can you only do it for cabins BEFORE booking?

Yep I’m signed up for emails but have never gotten this newsletter either.

With either the Refreshment or Deluxe beverage package, it is spring water (Evian) or sparkling 

Perfect, thanks

I think it is spring water; however, I am not 100% now that I am thinking about it.  We drank lots of bottle water but for the life of me I guess I didn't look too close.

ok thanks

I see that in the Deluxe Beverage Package, and the Premium Refreshment Packages, "bottled still water" is included.  Does anyone know what kind of water that is?  Purified, spring water,  or drinking?

Same here, I never get emails from Royal

For the Symphony transatlantic I purchased Surf and Stream for $11.99 per day.  That is the cheapest I've seen it, on any ship. 

Today for that same cruise, Surf is $12.79 and Surf and Stream is $15.99.

 

With double digits of cruises booked I am seeing prices ranging from 14.99 to 19.99.  It depends on the date.  It seems to be increasing for later 2019 cruises (those are the ones at $19.99).

Here is the thing - if you purchase today and it goes on sale, you can refund today's purchase in full and re-purchase at the sale price.  On board prices will be higher.  US Holidays are often times of sales but follow Royal Caribbean Blog on FB or twitter since @Matt will usually post when sales occur.

Note - This is the only cruise I have booked where Surf is offered in advance.  I've never seen it before. Possibly because this cruise originates in Spain. 

Nice, I'm seeing $19.99 right now, and no surf only option.  This will be my first cruise with Royal.  I've always sailed Carnival, and just used the regular internet/no stream.  My cruise is on the Symphony in November of 2019, so I'm going to wait to see if it at least goes down to $15.99.  It seems that $19.99 is the highest it would be, on sale.

Have you all ever seen 30% off or higher in the cruise planner for the Voom?  And if so, whats the highest percentage off that you've seen?

Depending on your level within the Crown and Anchor Society (loyalty program) there will be on board discount to use with Surf if you have ever cruised with Royal before.  It is typically:

Gold 10%, Platinum/Emerald 15%, Diamond 1 free day of Surf or $22.99 off, Diamond Plus two free days of Surf or $45.98 off.

If you can wait a day or two once on board, the full voyage packages are pro-rated and drop in price as each day passes.  Most of the time you will have cell service until sometime after dinner on day one so waiting until day two at least isn't that hard to do. 

Once in a while Surf will be offered pre-cruise but that is rare, I've only seen it once with dozens of bookings. 

The plans on board are more expensive than those offered pre-cruise.  Surf is rate limited and slow.  Surf and Stream even if not streaming is much faster so regular internet use is better on Surf and Stream.  Before the cruise the typical Surf and Stream prices are close to Surf prices on board so a lot of the time your are better to purchase Surf and Stream in advance and enjoy faster internet. 

Thanks

The Surf option (not Surf and Stream) has been relegated to purchase onboard only.

Thanks

I've seen it offered onboard.  The price is about the same price as your cruise planner sale price for Surf and Stream.  

Wow, ok thanks.  I don't really use or care about streaming when I'm on a cruise, but I do surf the net.  So i was hoping to save some money, oh well. Hopefully, there will be a 30% off discount in the future for my cruise.  Right now, they have it at 20% off.

Hello,

I was wondering, does Royal ever offer internet without streaming?  All I've seen is "Surf and Stream" pricing.
