I use an Anker 6 port that has a detachable power cord. I can't find it right now or I'd post a picture. 

well, i was pleasantly surprised to find that royal caribbean has a partnership with a company called "chargerback.com".   i did self-assisted departure, but left my phone in the room (d'oh!).  i called my phone when i got home, and they told me to go to this website for lost and found.  all said and done, it will only cost me $9.36 to get my phone sent back to me.  awesome!
 

First of all, welcome to the blog! I hate to see that your first post comes with such terrible circumstances. I completely empathize with you and agree that they could do more to help prevent their clients from missing final payment date. To be honest I am not sure if they automatically send a reminder or not currently, but I would certainly hope they do that at minimum. I can definitely understand what others are saying about other types of bills, but I don't expect quality customer service from utility companies while I do expect that from a cruise line. At the same time, from Royal Caribbean's perspective, they need to make sure that they get the room filled for the cruise because onboard spending is really how they make their money. An empty room is bad for business and as far as they know if you haven't made the final payment you aren't intending to go on the cruise.
I would try calling one more time and keep asking to speak to someone higher up to see if there is anything else they can do if they haven't already booked the room, or at least let you use that deposit for another sailing. It can't hurt to keep trying until you know there is nothing left you can do. As others have stated I would use a travel agent moving forward to help remind you of final payment date but also to be an advocate for you in situations like this. Either way, I'm really sorry to hear this happened to you. I hope there is something they can do to remedy the situation. If not don't beat yourself up. We all make mistakes and all we can do is learn from them. Best of luck to you!

So sorry that this happened to you and keep calling  and asking to speak to someone higher up to if they can do anything else if the room has not already been booked or at least use your deposit for another sailing. keep trying until there is nothing that can not be done. As others have said if I were you I would use a TA moving forward to remind you of the final payment date.
 I have not heard of the cruise line emailing final payment notifications prior to the final payment due date.
The final payment date for my upcoming cruise on Dec 2nd 2018 was due a few weeks ago(sept 3rd) and I did not get an email notification of my final payment date, so After I paid the deposit and saw when the final payment was due I wrote it Down in my calander. Since I wrote down when my final payment was due I had remembered to make the final payment and did not take a chance of my reservation being cancelled. I have went on other cruise with royal caribbean and I was never emailed a final payment date notification. 

The guest in each stateroom must be over 21 to consume alcohol and that includes wine. Your kids cannot pack wine or champagne in their carryon but the adults who are over 21 can pack wine or champagne in there carryon but each you can only bring two (2) 750ml bottles of wine or Champagne per stateroom.  

I have a sailing coming up in December with my mom on Oasis in a Jr suite and I’m wondering if the wow bands will be available on oasis. If wowbands are available on oasis would I have to purchase the wow bands or will they be in the suite when we arrive?
