The way I do this is to go to cruisedeckplans.com - look up the ship and find the deck you are interested in. Find a room with photos and a photo where you can see the position of the bed.  Typically every other room will have the bed near the balcony (and visa versa).

Some of us live up here and are not spoiled by year-round nice weather.
I guess only a Northwesterner would understand watching a storm from the warmth of a cruise ship.😍

Perfect! I found my assigned GTY cabin in a video on that site. Very helpful! Thank you!

Yeah, the information is only mildly useful, but just a heads up.

Just an FYI for those who use them. This didn't fit into really any forum but enough people use them that I didn't want it to get buried in "People Connect".

I also thought it was weird they’re adding Samba Grill to Harmony.  I thought it was on the way out.

I had it wrong once. I simply circled the correct zone on the tags.  The bags ended up where they should be.  I've also just used the tags that the porter at the port have available and it's never been a problem. Don't stress about this one aspect, it's not worth it.

I took you off of moderation.

Yes, you can bring fans.  USB or battery powered are best.

Most luggage is too big to go through the scanners when you board so it should be taken by the porters.  It's typically delivered by 3pm, although occasionally it may take longer. I use a foldable, lightweight, backpack for my day bag.  There are plenty of restrooms if you want to change into bathing suits and use the slides/pool.  There's also locker rooms in the gyms that you can use.

Real ID is only for US government purposes only, for instance if you are trying to enter a federal building, getting through airport checkpoint security.  If you have a passport you don't need real ID. 
But you answer your question no Royal isn't requiring real ID, however I would be remiss if I didn't say its always an excellent idea to bring your passport with you (if you have one) when you're on a cruise because if anything happens you'll save yourself a world of headaches by simply having that passport with you.

It depends on what ship.  If it's Explorer, then no.

I believe you can only get cans if you have the Deluxe Beverage Package.

"In my humble opinion and my humble opinion only"

Nope. The cabana protects you from the rain 🙂

You would think it would be more efficient to flip the smoking and non-smoking casinos.  Give smokers a compact space to smoke and breathe each others smoke, give non-smokets an expanded space.
