    Finally got something that worked. Guess the text was too small to work.
    Only issue I see on the designer is this would end up as one expensive hat...

    Wilson reacted to Matt in Cancelling drink package after boarding?   
    You can cancel onboard, but keep in mind the refund comes back as OBC, and not a refund to your card. I don't think in your case that's a problem since you are going to re-purchase, but something to keep in mind.

    I asked C&A about this a few weeks ago and they recommend canceling on board and repurchasing using D+ discount.   Suggest you email them and have it in email form from them in case of issues. In my case it's in reference to sharing a cabin with a gold member.

    Great question, Wilson.
    While this is the first discussion I've seen about cancelling for that reason (which totally makes sense), I've heard many folks talk about cancelling the package once on the ship.  I've even heard of people doing this after they've had a few drinks (they simply bill for the drinks a la carte retroactively).  As such, I'm eager to hear others' experience, but don't suspect this would be an issue/bad plan at all.

    Had succes doing that on Harmony last year. Only issue was some how they got the pricing wrong but that was corrected (Thanks Raj).
    Hard part was trying to get someone to understand what I was asking to be done and acknowledge D+ got a discount.

    Wilson reacted to twangster in Freestyle Drink Dispenser Menus   
    From time to time I see people asking about what drinks are included in the Coca-Cola Freestyle drink dispensers. 
    @Matt has written blogs on the Freestyle machines.  Here is one from 2015:
    https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2015/07/20/coca-cola-freestyle-machines-royal-caribbean
    While I am on Anthem I have some free time so I grabbed some pictures of all the Freestyle drink menus.  
    Let's start with the main menu:
     
    From here you can see the types of drinks available in each category.  First are two pages for the "All Drinks" category:
     
     
    Here are the types of drinks available within each option:
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    And of course plain water:
     
    The same drinks are sorted by "Low/No Calories" options:
     
    The same drinks sorted by "Caffeine Free" options:
     
    Finally the same drinks are sorted by flavor:
     
    Here are the Cherry drinks:
     
     
    Orange drinks:
     
     
    Raspberry drinks:
     
     
    Grape drinks:
     
    Lemon drinks:
     
     
    Peach drinks:
     
     
    Strawberry drinks:
     
     
    Lime drinks:
     
     
    Fruit Punch drinks:
     
    Vanilla drinks:
     
    Cherry Vanilla drinks:
     
    Mixed Berry drinks:
     
    For those that are asking what is a Freestyle drink dispenser?  
    Certain Royal Caribbean ships have these Freestyle drink dispensers.  See the blog above for a list of ships that have them.
     
    Freestyle dispensers work only with special cups provided with beverage packages.  The souvenir cups have a chip embedded in the base that is read by the machine when you place the cup into the machine.  There are various designs that are provided.
     
    When a cup is first used it is registered in the system and an expiry date is assigned.  The expiry date is usually a few days longer than your cruise.
     
    The machines also function as ice dispensers.
    Lastly, these menus were captured in January 2018.   It's possible that menus will vary over time and by ship.

    Wilson got a reaction from Cez in Take pics of crew members name badges for your survey   
    Suggestion:
    I just completed the post cruise survey for our 9 night Navigator sailing. The crew was simply amazing. We wanted to recognize each crew member that made our cruise vacation experience so wonderful. It was nice to have their first and last name to quote in the survey. We didn't want to leave anyone out and being able to refer back to the pics on my iPhone made it a breeze.

    Wilson got a reaction from Orchids in Read the fine print on Royal Excursion policy   
    I am currently on hold since I am having trouble booking excursions online and reading the fine print while I wait. I am already aware that the cancellation policy changed from 24 to 48 hours, but had no idea it was 30 days if your excursion involved the following:
    "Tours involving flights, trains, special events, overnight stays, hotel stays and Private Journeys must be cancelled 30 days prior to sailing to avoid cancellation penalties".

    When you do decide to go to Bermuda, don't forget that Bermuda is the same geographic level as North Carolina so weather could be iffy. My sister went there in April. It was cold and rainy. Temps were in the high 30's/low 40's. She thought Bermuda was in the Caribbean. :-D

    Hey Claire! Welcome to Royal Caribbean Blog.
    Saturday Night Fever was the Broadway show when we were on her last year. The Fuel Club was an active place for teens in the evenings. Not sure the age of your kids, but the Flowrider and Tidal Wave were a huge hit for kids and adults alike. If they are younger, make sure to watch the Cruise Planner for opportunities to interact with the DreamWorks characters. These are not cheap imitation costumes, they are the real deal.
    We played ping pong a couple times and there were always paddles available, but balls were not present towards the end of the cruise.

    The incredible offer was an increase of almost 10% on the Deluxe beverage package and Voom.

    Wilson reacted to WAAAYTOOO in New Diamond Plus Perk   
    I was speaking with a Crown & Anchor Rep earlier this morning (C&A points were wrong).  At the end of our chat he said he wanted to remind me of a new perk for D+ that was just added this month.  D+ now includes a free spa treatment !  Apparently this excludes Medi Spa so I'm not sure what it does include but, hey !  I had not heard anything about this anywhere before this morning.
    I asked if this new perk is permanent - yes.  I asked if this new perk applies to all D+ in the cabin, even if both are D+ - yes.
    It's so nice to have a new perk.  It's been a while !
