The cruise planner may allow it. Whether or not Royal will find out and make you follow policy or not..who knows.

You will get an email..sometimes it doesn't happen until the night before or morning of the cruise.

Yes they do!

I did..but only for the 4-day.

A B2B was tempting because it at least would encompass Veteran's Day..but it's still too much leave for me.

Awww..he gets you.

Walmart or Target as suggested. I suggest maybe finding the store that you are going to use and shop for it online and arrange to pick it up. Otherwise your shopping trip for a hair dryer may turn into shopping for additional luggage for more impulse purchases ?

Haven't been there since I was a kid in the 80's! I still remember those coconut crusted shrimp, though!

I jumped on the $13.19 price for my cruise in November. Just having come off a ship and seeing the onboard price has jumped to 19.99/21.99 per night thought it was a no-brainer even though I can share with someone that will have the D+ discount, it's close enough to make it worthwhile and I don't have to wait on the internet until later in the cruise to maximize the discount.

It looks like it's going to be a Celebrity ship per the link @twangster posted above. Same parent family, though.

Ah..I just did the currency conversion and didn't even look at the comparable US site pricing. You may be able to look into booking with a US travel agent and get the USD pricing. I think the Australian pricing may include some things that the US pricing doesn't -- more consumer protection and included gratuities? Haven't really looked into it but I have heard some grumbling that they also don't allow taking advantage of price drops either when you book from the Australian site.

There's a premium for new ship + US holiday sailings. If you look at the upcoming New Years Freedom Group Cruise on Royal's site it is currently at: The group prices that were locked in by MEI for this Freedom sailing were just under $1900 for TWO people. If you are interested in the Odyssey sailings you may want to check with MEI to see if they've secured group pricing yet for a particular sailing. The travel agencies know there will be demand for these sailings as more and more people find out about them, so they are reserving blocks of rooms which will lock in the lower prices before demand makes them increase even further.

Kraken isn't a premium rum, so it won't cost more than ordering just a lava flow. If you don't specific a brand of liquor for your drink they just use the house brand. Not sure about the DOD thing, although I've never seen it as the DOD.

November 5, 2020 - Odyssey of the Seas Inaugural Bahamas 4-night (unofficial GC!)

You are going to end up an honorary crew member!

They should end up doing that with Oasis5. There isn't even a TA scheduled for Odyssey this time.

I'm booked too..lol YOLO.

@WAAAYTOOO has mentioned several times that the discount for upgrading has decreased from the past, but I think there is still supposed to be one.

Well for most people there is the cost of the cruise involved ?

As far as things with no charge, really the only thing before the cruise that you can sign up for related to Enchantment of the Seas through the cruise planner is to make reservations if you have My Time Dining. Everything else that is included at no additional charge as far as activities will just be walk-up with no reservations needed. If you want an idea of what will be available on your cruise, you may want to look at a Cruise Compass. It will lay out the different activities on a daily schedule. It also lists the dining options and breaks them down by dining times (breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks). If there is a charge it shows a ($) next to the venue. I find this is an easy snapshot of what is available on the ship. You can find past Cruise Compasses for Enchantment at: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass?ship=289

The charge goes through as a single charge from Royal Caribbean that is the sum of all the debits and credits to your onboard charge account. I don't know what details Royal sends the credit card company with that charge, so I can't really say. However, I do know folks will easily drop thousands on onboard spending between drink packages, excursions, dining packages, etc. So a large charge from Royal Caribbean wouldn't really trigger them to take a second look at it based on the dollar amount alone.

CK is likely in the same place as the rest of the Q class ships..right next to the WJ. The other eatery is whatever they're going to put in the Johnny Rockets/Fish n Ships space that's open to the pool deck.

All alcohol is included as long as it's under the price point for the package ($12 or $13 depending on the ship). Otherwise you just pay the difference. The lists that are out there are not all inclusive and sometimes new items are introduced or they get small shipments of something different than usual. The brands and trends change over the years so treat the included list as just an example.

Navigator has Jamie's, Hooked, Chops and Playmakers. Typically if you have the package and the restaurant is open you can eat there if there's availability..even if it's NOT a sea day during lunch time. They can change operating hours from cruise to cruise, so you can't really ever know for sure until you get onboard what is going to be open for lunch and when.

Frozen options: Frozen mojitos are good if you can handle lime.. Strawberry/mango/banana daquiris... BBC/mudslides on the milk-based side of the spectrum. Royal has a Tokyo Tea which is a long island iced tea they they replace the Coke with Midori, so it gives it a fun, green hue. Rum swizzle uses grapefruit juice. Dark and stormy is rum and ginger beer.
