Check with your personal auto insurance for coverage. You may have it on rental cars. I know my policy does. Also if you have travel insurance it may have rental car coverage as well. As for tolls, if you tell your map program to avoid tolls you should be able to avoid the few roads with them. Otherwise most of the major companies will have a toll pass in the car that you just flip open to use. They do charge an administrative fee on top of the tolls if you end up using it which can make it be pricey. They sell a uni pass on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/PASS-Prepaid-Portable-States-Including/dp/B09QRMKJ6R) that you could bring, but it requires you to set up an account ahead of time and link the transponder. It works for other states too, so if you do more road trips that could come in handy. This would save you the administrative cost for using the one in the rental car, but make sure you keep that one closed if you do bring your own transponder...and don't forget to take it out of the car when you return it!

If you are currently booked with 3 people in the room, yes. If you only have 2 booked, you risk the chance of being upgraded to something that only holds 2 people and you wouldn't be able to add a third later.

It's a very simple drive once you get out of the Tampa area. Coming from the airport (where I assume you'll be getting your rental) and getting over to I-4 (the interstate that runs between Tampa and Orlando) can be a bit confusing with some of the converging highways. If you can avoid 7-9am and 4-6pm (rush hour) on the weekdays you should have a relatively easy drive.

I'm on Constellation the first week of December, but it's doing Western Caribbean

Embarkation day is not technically a sea day, but the UDP follows if the restaurant is open, it's included. You should be able to go into your dining plan and modify it to add an embarkation day lunch. You will get a $0 bill at the end of the meal.

Same here..I just checked my 12/12 sailing and it's showing reserved. I swear it didn't yesterday!

+1 This is how I get my points. It may be $10 in per point, but at least I feel like I'm using my brain somewhat. Slots are very mind numbing to me.

I have the same issue. All we can do is cross our fingers it is there when we board! I still have the original mailer that came that shows the offer, so I'm bringing that just in case it isn't there. I will go argue with Guest Services about it if needed.

Some travel insurance policies do include a missed or skip port coverage where they pay a flat amount for any port that gets changed or missed from the original itinerary. Most policies would cover any non-reimbursable costs you incurred in missing a port. In this case if you have a letter about the missed port you could file a claim for the tourist tax. I would include the explanation that this port is the only one that would have required it when making the claim.

I think they're looking for more examples than just that one as they listed specific dates and didnt include this one.

It is a very scenic ride!

They do offer some small bottles of liquor for pre-purchase and delivery to the room at https://www.royalcaribbean.com/royalgifts/ Keep in mind these are 375mL bottles, so that's only about 6 2oz shots of liquor.

I just looked at a Cruise Compass from Star (you can find these at https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass) and they do indeed do a Cigar Under the Stars on Star on Cloud 17.

And when you add in drinks at the casino you may even break even on how much it cost to get your casino status
