Thank you @TheHobbys and @Matt. I do remember all this information, but someone had posted a link to a different form that looked like it was on (probably NOT official) RC "letterhead". I just can't find it now. I'll likely go ahead and send the form @Matt linked, but it was the other form I was thinking of.

We did a cruise just this past December with the only stop being Cozumel. It was such a nice relaxing cruise. We had such a great time.

We sailed on the Enchantment for our very first ever cruise 3 1/2 years ago and it was a great first cruise. We didn't know about this forum yet, my brother booked everything for us as it was for our parents 50th anniversary. So we enjoyed it and would love to go on it again someday. I guess it's definitely an opinion thing. LOL

Yes, what @Matt said also.

You can go and not spend any thing. If you get the drink packages, they work while there. There are excursions for things do to that cost, but you can also not spend any money and there is plenty to do. We booked for this summer for 3 adults for the waterpark/zipline and it was about $70/person.

what is this?

I agree. The only alcoholic drinks I EVER drink on a cruise and I might get 2-3 the whole cruise...so the UBP doesn't make sense for me...I get the refreshment package so I can still get the "tropical" pretty drinks and specialty coffees.

We did the same. It was nice.

It's available at this point for our July Navigator cruise and our November Harmony cruise.

We are cruising in July and we're bringing our 16yp DS's 16yo best friend ( he does have a passport). His parents are divorced and both are remarried. I remember reading somewhere here that there might be a Royal Caribbean release form for those of us who will be bringing a minor who isn't our own and that it would need to be notarized. I've searched these boards and cannot seem to find that particular thread again. Can anyone help?

For US, it depends on the length of our cruise. On our 3-4 night cruises, we don't do specialty dining. On our "longer" cruises, we have done the BOGO dining if it's available. But honestly, the MDR is great food (IMO) and there is more than enough and we've never left unsatisfied. Also, the Windjammer is a great option for those who like buffets.

#lifegoals But seriously...we I should live like this all the time then when we're I'm cruising, it's just natural. ?

ok. i'll bring my own !! LOL

You could always head to Windjammer or somewhere else, depending on the ship, and get a little smackerel of something and take it to your stateroom. ?

how much extra does it cost to get it IN the pineapple? bucket list item...sitting somewhere, on a beautiful beach, in the sun, under a palm tree, sipping a pretty drink out of a pineapple...?

Ok...so does anyone KNOW if these new cups are insulated? I think they are ugly and cheap looking, but if they're insulated, we will use them...just needing to know. I read the blog article and saw the photos, but I cannot find where nayone said whether these new ones are actually insulated or not...

Does anyone have current pics of these things since the opening of CocoCay in the past, recent weeks? Specifically, WHERE they are located? and how close they actually are to each other?

I know I could easily spend a whole day at Disney Springs. If, heaven forbid, I EVER went to Orlando and for some terrible, AWFUL, reason COULD NOT GO TO WDW, I would and could definitely spend the day at DS. But basically, it's JUST an outdoor mall. It's a Disney mall...which is why I could spend the whole day. I would think this would be the better option for someone wanting to excursion at Port Canaveral.

Also breakfast is available in the MDR and is a mix of buffet and/or order from a menu.

We've done it. It makes it easier for booking things together like others have said...I book everything myself and linked them myself...but you can always call RC or your TA.

same. literally. i have some really good friends who are TA and I just like doing it myself.

somewhere in the past few days I saw someone had posted formal night "usuals"...it's "Usually" night 2 on shorter cruises and nights 2 and 5 or 6 on longer cruises. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Also you can check past cruise compasses for your similar cruise to find out.

AHHHH, yes...however, I did what I often do and responded without reading all the rest of the comments. oops. LOL

the virgin drinks or mocktails are included in the "Refreshment Package" of the drink packages...
