I believe it means if you were to buy CHOPS (the most expensive specialty) every night and day for lunch that is provided you would save around 50% off the price of buying them individually.

omg... this makes total sense, thanks man

I got it for 199.99, but logged in and now it says "up to 50% off". However the price still shows 199... How does this work?

Thanks everyone!

I don't know about the Royal App, but if you paid for Voom for 4 devices, each device will get its own code to log in.

So they all connect to wifi with different credentials? Or they do this within the Royal App? 

The Royal App has all four of my family members Set Sail passes inside, and we also have the VOOM Surf package for communciation between each other. Do we all sign in with the same login / pass when sailing?

My whole family loves to Karaoke. Is there any place aboard to do this? Also, if there are different places depending on age? My teenagers take Karaoke seriously...

Appreciate it I'd prefer getting away with more casual, its vacation. I dress up everyday in real life... So maybe a nice pair of shorts, closed-toe shoes and a collared shirt. Thanks guys!

It seems rather vague when "suggesting" what to wear at the different places on our cruise ship. We will be on Symphony of the Seas in a couple weeks and our family is doing a 3 night dinner package. I was planning on wearing jeans to these with a collared shirt, but now am worried maybe that isn't dressy enough. However my family hates dressing up at all on vacation lol. What should teenagers wear? Obviously no swim ware but are jeans and a collared shirt ok?

As you get closer to cruise date more will open up I'm guessing. I go to Coco Cay in a couple weeks, and there is a ton of stuff to purchase from my cruise planner. Cabanas, dual-sand shaded lounge chair thingies, tons of activities, all kinda stuff.

Thank you!

With two teenagers I'm tempted to get drink packages for them so they can have fancy mocktails everywhere they go, sounds awesome. But at the same time, if getting soda is as easy as walking up to a free food spot and filling up, it may not be worth it.

So if one doesn't have a drink package for pop / non-alcoholic drinks, what are the options?

So that's a little tricky on the website.  If the price for the 3 device package is $22.99 per day, you only need to select ONE person when you are purchasing.  The total should be closer to $160 for the cruise.  If you're selecting 3 out of the 4 people, that's a total of 9 devices you're paying for.  Basically, you are saying that you want 3 people to have 3 devices.  

When you get on board you will be given either one code that allows 3 simultaneous devices, or 3 codes... I forget which, but it doesn't matter who the code is associated with - with that package, 3 devices can be logged in at the same time.  If you want to change devices, simply log out of one and log in with the new device.

Hope that makes sense!

Ok... That is MUCH better, I can swallow that. Thank you for clarifying!

Yes.  That is accurate

OMG.. Looks like we will be going dark on this trip LOL, thats SO HIGH to pay for cell. Mind = Blown

When I choose a 3 person SURF package it asks who to select from our party of 4. The price on the page shows 22.99 per day per adult, which is like $482 for a week to send texts to each other!? We are using the package mainly to communicate with the kiddos while on board. Is this price accurate? nearly $500 dollars to use 3 cell phones?

Hello!

I bought a lot of my ship activities / services pretty early *blush, I was excited!* and since I keep seeing discounts being offered. For instance, the 3 dining package was 99 a person when I purchased, now it shows "Up to 50% off!" when I'm browsing the Cruise Planner. Do they credit the difference back or should I cancel and re-book at the cheaper prices?

Thanks

EDIT : Looks like I'll be putting together a Python script that can scrape this site a couple times a day and report back to me when prices drop so I don't have to quite my job to keep an eye on these daily fluctuations! Thanks everyone for the help!

On Symphony of the Seas in May, and purchased a 3 Night Dinner Package. However when you purchase it simply asks you to choose one evening (night 1, or night 2) and a time, but doesn't let you choose which restaurant you wish to dine at. At the top of the the Cruise Planner website it says;

" You can still make dining reservations for Night 1, Night 3, Night 4, Night 5, Night 6, Night 7, but availability is limited. Find the perfect restaurant here. Plan all cruise dining! ".

Are the people who get dinner packages left last-in-line for the other guests reserving full price, to choose restaurants when you board?

If I don't our family into Wonderland, It would be pretty big let down

The dining package options will vary from sailing to sailing. Sometimes they offer many dining packages, and sometimes none at all. It has to do with how well specialty restaurants are selling and what the cruise line feels demand will be at for them to offer it or not.

You can certainly keep waiting to see if they add it back. For my Brilliance of the Seas sailing, we had no dining packages up until about 3 weeks prior to sailing.

Ahh... Ok makes sense, appreciate the insight

Going on Eastern Caribbean with Symphony for 7 days in May. Was excited for the big food package I keep seeing mentioned however all I can find is a 3 day one... What gives? 

Oh man, does someone have something like this for Symphony?

Oh man... That video doesn't look like that place will be ready for guests by May... NERVOUS :(
