@Last LionMost reservations booked through a big box agency (Costco, for one) are not eligible for Royal Up. You will get an email notifying you if your reservation is eligible, sometime after final payment (I think 30-45 days prior to sailing).

There's an app (Tracker Detect) that makes AirTags compatible with Android, but it's a lot easier to just use Tile trackers for non-Apple devices.

Yes, there are several scattered throughout the area

My guess is that tender transfers continue throughout the night- it may just run less frequently. Therefore there would be no "first" tender on the 2nd day.

You can always bring food into the bars with you

RC does not allow this anymore. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/different-departure-port-city

My guess would be the ones by the wave pool, and of those #33-37, though they might be the closest to the restrooms #43-48 have a walkway behind them that leads to one of the water park entrance/exits, so seems like those would get the most foot traffic around them. IIRC #49-54 also got foot traffic from people exiting the slide pool. Plus I think (it's been a couple years) people walked along that area to pick up rafts. Again, just my guess!

Ooooohh that's a good idea!

The zipline is only one time, not an all day pass.

I thought the smoothies were included, but the added protein would be charged separately?

You'll find your excursion tour tickets in your stateroom on Day 1. They'll have more of those details. But usually the start time listed on the cruise planner will be the meeting time (we usually show up 10min before to be safe). If it's not a tender port, the meeting place will be after you debark. It could be on the pier just outside the ship or at the end of the pier. There will probably be large groups of people milling about waiting for their excursions so it should be easy to find the area. There will be someone holding a sign for each excursion. Check in with them, and they'll give you further (if any) instructions. If it's a tender port, I believe the excursion tickets will list where on the ship to meet.

@Suzanne Elise There was a choice when you booked the reservation - either My Time or Traditional - it should show on your booking reservation which one you have. You can call RC or your travel agent and ask to switch if you don't already have it and want it. You can also try to ask onboard if your preferred option is full/unavailable. Once you have MTD you can make reservations on the Cruise Planner or app.

Possibly not, but not an issue. You can fill out new ones when you drop off luggage with the porters.

I've never tried booking a ride that far out, only a couple weeks. I'm sure others have more recent pricing to compare, but our 2019 Orlando Hotel to PC for two people was about $60. There's usually a surcharge for airport fees too, but $85 isn't bad.

So disappointed by the removal of this. There's a warm apple cobbler with ice cream a couple nights, but that's not quite the same...

The lounger is a two-lounge chair set up with clamshell umbrella, specifically reserved, and you only need to purchase 1 for two people. There are free lounge chairs with umbrellas throughout Labadee.

Take the train. TrenItalia is the best place to look at schedules. You can even book ahead of time to (sometimes) save money.

We sat in the regular/ adventure class for $105 and thought it a fantastic value, and a perfect way to get to Seward (in your case Anchorage).

Take the train! You should be able to drop off your luggage at the depot soon after you disembark. I believe I read that luggage travels via truck and not with the passenger train. The depot is technically within walking distance of the ship, but would recommend the free town shuttle (RC may also provide one, but not 100% sure since we did the Seward to Vancouver route).

I have zero experience with this, but my first step would be to clear cookies and/or try a different browser. Just an idea

I don't recall how much - but definitely cheaper than anything at home or on the ship. I always take my passport with me

I'd go one farther, and say for the extra $20 Global Entry is an even better deal (assuming one travels internationally)

Onboard prices for fitness classes is $20 + 18% gratuity. You can buy multi-class packages on the Cruise Planner before boarding at discounted prices.

As I mentioned on another thread (under Dining), the sample menu on my survey looked like the traditional MDR menu items (no theme) but for the starters & desserts there were more 'classics' than non-classic options. Entrees were 50/50.

I'd be unhappy about that too
