I always thought when they introduced ages 18-25 that it would be pretty weird. Mixing underage drinkers with drinkers doesn't make sense, neither does have 24 and 25 year old men chasing after 18 and 19 year old girls. Did Royal Caribbean finally update this to separate the ages more? 18-20 would be more appropriate in my mind. I do also understand 18-20 would be very niche, so there's that also. Anyone with children had experiences with the hyperlink meetups? What were your kids thoughts?

I just saw a video of Wonder of the Seas, is it true that Solarium Bistro is now charging for dinner? Pre-Covid I went on Symphony and Oasis, and neither charged for Solarium for dinner.

Sailing is in first week of June, and I just realized my daughters passport expired. What should I bring in place of her expired passport so that she can get off and on the ports (Bahamas, Cozumel, Roatan and Costa Maya) with no issue? She has a learner's permit, birth certificate, and of course the expired passport.

Is there a floorplan for all of the oceanview rooms? I always assumed oceanview will be in the front or back of the ship only. But now that I look at Icon of the Seas, they have a bunch that's mid-ship. Of course that ship is designed a bit different. As front/back there will be a good amount of motion with oceanview. As one person in particular gets motion sickness.

If entered wrong year for a child, does it have to be fixed since the year would be different on their passport or can it just be left alone?

Thank you guys. We have passports, and was just confirming for a new cruising group. So making sure I was correct on the information I was going to tell them. Will suggest passports for adults for emergency reasons and official copy of certificates for the little ones.

From Port Canaveral to Charlotte Amalie and Philipsburg, two adults with a five year old and three year old, would anyone in the group require a passport or are copies of birth certificate good enough for all five? Passports is only optional, as it'll be easier to get back to the United States with it if we missed our cruise from one of the destinations correct? If passports are recommended for the adults, then how about the two little ones? Just birth certificate for them?

Yeah I just realized, I think if they did an oceanview then the best bet would be deck 3 since they're midship. I just don't want them to feel force to get a balcony, so making sure they have all the information.

I've never done a oceanview or interior. What are the best decks + locations for Oasis class to not feel the movement of the ship/waves? I've only done balconies on Oasis, decks 6-12. Only once I have felt the motion of the boat and that's when I did Boardwalk which was located at the back of the ship, and I said never again lol. P.S. This question is for a family member btw who are cruising for the first time and doesn't like motion at all. I am just presenting them all options for each cabin.

I would advise to always do new ports, and then when you run out of ports to just pick your favorite ships or change cruise lines to see more places.

Is there a dance club for kids under 18? My daughter is saying there's one for 16 and up, and she'll be 2 weeks away from turning 16 by the time we sail. So I am curious if there's even such a thing, and if so the age range. She likes the idea of dances and just hearing the music and watching people. She has pleaded many times to sail for her birthday which is what we always do, but with our family growing to 5 and the cost to sail in June is like $300+ per person, it's not worth it for her to do some dance one night lol.

I didn't do an exact count on this floor, but isn't there about 104 rooms from end to end in a single row? So to actually be in the middle would be 40-50 range right? Am I being tricked by a TA in that 12600 and 12598 is mid-ship or is it more at the end of Aft? I did a back of the ship balcony last time on Symphony for the first time ever and vowed never to do that again. Preferred not to be rocking while trying to go asleep.

So even if I book 3 interior rooms and then a few months later decide I just want to do 2 balconies (# of people remain the same) only. That's fine also? Or will I have to upgrade all 3 rooms and make it 3 balconies. Just making sure as I intend on booking interior and then upgrading if I feel like it.

How much does that cost?

Let's say I booked an interior room for a June 2023 booking. But in November, I decided I wanted an interior or balcony just due to pricing I've seen. Will there system allow me to do an upgrade and pay the difference or is there a fee associated with changing cabins for the same boat/date?
