That discount code worked for me when I booked

@12thman if you want to eat and see old san juan I suggest doing the old san juan food tour https://sanjuanfoodtours.com/old-san-juan-food-tour/ They offer this through the cruise line too. I would suggest booking it independently though for a few reasons... #1 it is cheaper if you do it independently. #2 you get more stops than through the cruise line. I just did this on my cruise in April and we had a great time!

If you go to St. Kitts avoid the "Coastal Cruise, Beach & Steel Band" We went and our excursion was combined with a Celebrity ship and it was way too crowded! There were not enough seats for everyone so about 30 people on the lower deck had to stand each way (1-1.5 hour boat ride to the beach) and then once we got to the beach it was deserted except for a lone man renting umbrellas. There were 18 umbrellas with 2 beach chairs apiece for about 200+ passengers on the boat.

I have done a Sea Trek (kind of) at a place called Discovery Cove near Sea World in Orlando. It is a very cool experience and I would love to do it in the ocean! But, you are correct about the differences.

I would say Adventure for the reason being that you get two additional days for similar price. More vacation time! That's just my $0.02 though. I will be on my first RC cruise next month and it will be on Adventure.

I was able to snag a beach bed in Labadee for my upcoming sailing as there were no bungalows or cabanas available. Really looking forward to it more now!

@Ashmai What @firebuck said is very true. I misread your initial post. Not as bad on the cost if you think of it that way. Also, check about the key. It may be worth it if you can get it. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-key-program

If you can get the Key for your sailing that would be the better deal per device and potentially per person. Some sailings have the key for as low as $19 per person per day. More perks than just internet access. But you have to buy for everyone in cabin over the age of 6.

Yes. That is accurate

This place looks pretty good for my April sailing on Adventure. We didn't have anything planned for there yet. It will prob be between there or possibly https://coconut-reef.com/tour/snorkeling-discovery/for me.

If it says you have to ask about a cabana on board then they are sold out... You can keep checking on line to see if anyone cancels or check on the ship.

@SpeedNoodles Fond of noodles?

@2Beeze I had seen that thread mentioned previously and when I checked the link that someone else had posted it showed that it was deleted... ?

@twangster I will be on Adventure of the Seas. Which ships have you had trouble on?

@twangster Being a travel router novice is there password protection to gain access travel router? I have been looking at purchasing the RAVPower travel router you mentioned in a previous live blog. What were your thoughts on this router? Ease of use? Would you recommend that one or do you have a particular preference. I am somewhat tech savvie, but by no means an expert

I have seen a few posts that have mentioned travel routers. This is not something that I am familiar with. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/profile/13328-twangster/ seems to be the person that knows a fair amount about them. Any insight on preferred travel routers and how to set them up would be greatly appreciated.

The process of cancelling and rebooking by calling would be beneficial in instances where they cannot make more of something available like a bungalow or cabana in places like Labadee and CoCo Cay if there is a price drop. I got a beach bed for Labadee for my April cruise and would have to go that route if there happens to be a price drop since they are currently sold out. I also keep looking on cruise planner hoping that someone happens to cancel a bungalow or cabana.

I am going to be on that cruise as well

You just cancel and repurchase on cruise planner. No need to call RC unless you are concerned that there may be limited supply of said excursions, or whatever you are trying to buy. Then you would want to call have RC and have them rebook for you to ensure that you get the lower price. It can take a few days to weeks to get cancelled charges refunded back to your card. I did this process for drink package and it was an easy process.

We have the Key for our sailing so we have surf and stream internet package. So we will have access to our streaming services.

That's what I recall seeing in other posts about having difficulty accessing the USB ports on the stateroom TVs

I know how to install and use it. I just don't know why she would want it while we are on vacation and trying to "unplug" haha

My wife was curious if our firestick would work on TV in our stateroom? Not sure why she would need it since we're on vacation, but I figured I would ask anyway.

@Wilmsta I am going to be on Adventure in April as well and look forward to trying these too! ?

@bhageerah My thoughts exactly about the ER trauma bay. Just got home from working the night shift in the ER and can't wait to be sailing away in April!
