Crown & Anchor Husband & Wife Question
KristiZ replied to CNA Jacksonville's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
One of the reasons my husband keeps me around! ? ? -
What do you call a fish with no eyes? FSSSHHHH.

Passport Expiration Question/Under 16
KristiZ replied to Neesa's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Haiti is the one that requires a 6 month validity, of those ports. The other two are "a U.S. passport valid for the duration of your stay" only. -
May 3rd OASIS - Cozumel Mexico excursion
KristiZ replied to Rene Desmarais's topic in Shore Excursions
The tour is absolutely worth it, BUT ONLY if you fly there from Cozumel. It is too far for the bus tours. You don't get nearly enough time at the ruins. -
My time dining vs early/late dining
KristiZ replied to Rowefam5's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Another advantage is having the same waitstaff every night, if you enjoy that kind of dining experience -- where they get to know your name, preferences, etc. -
When does the last payment need to be made?
KristiZ replied to CaptainPanda's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Depends on the region you're sailing, too -- Asian rules have final payment 60 days prior. -
Allergic to hand sanitizer that Royal uses
KristiZ replied to plasticmaster's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I would definitely bring your own, and carry the bottle with you into the dining venues. If you use the hand holding the bottle to wave off the washy washy people you should be just fine. -
What are the suite benefits (GS and above)?
KristiZ replied to FroggyFlo's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It depends on the ship. Only Oasis and (some) Quantum class come with Voom. All ships will have either a suite lounge or a concierge lounge, where select beverages are complimentary during set hours (430pm to 8pm, give or take 30 minutes). Room service will be free, and you will be able to order from the Main Dining Room menu for room service (during meal times). A GS stateroom is an excellent size, usually with an actual tub in the bathroom. You will also have upgraded bath amenities (shampoo, lotion, soap). There will be robes for use onboard. There will likely be a suite welcome/cocktail party with ship officers in attendance; you will get an invitation in your cabin. Also, depending on the ship you may be offered a free behind the scenes entertainment tour or bridge tour. I'm probably forgetting something, but I'm sure others will chime in! -
It is per order.
-
You do! Congratulations!

You'll be able to view them about 30 days out from sail date (sometimes as far out as 90 days, but less common). You will either get an email or you can go to the Royal Up link on the main Royal page.

Until the Kids Sail Free special comes around again... then it’ll be “it’s 4 of us in a suite for the price of 2!” ?
-
Also make sure the amount didn't just get refunded to your form of payment for the cruise. That happens sometimes.
-
This is also a good one, but mostly if you're American -- they don't always keep up with the things that don't impact us ?

Here's a source for current travel restrictions for various countries that I thought people might appreciate: https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm?fbclid=IwAR3UbSxYcfowcOnR1af9oQip6LhOEPX3LEdVWcHBvU50xLoqsqv8WSg2_s0 It is in the airlines' best interested to stay on top of the whole fluid situation, so I trust this list to be as accurate as anything.
-
Yes, you can share with anyone you want. The only restriction is the number of devices logged in at one time (in your case 4). It doesn't matter what devices or who they are owned by.

Deluxe Beverage Package Cost for Diamond Members
KristiZ replied to Kolby's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes, but those 3 drink coupons only cover the same time span as the Happy Hour, so take that into account. I will regularly get a glass of wine at the Happy Hour first thing, then go to dinner and use my coupons there. -
Ships without Coastal Kitchen -- UDP?
KristiZ replied to VTHappyGirl's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
My favorite suite perk (after double points!) is free room service, to include MDR menu at meal times. Don't overlook that! -
Could be just not offered for your cruise. Sometimes it's not ? Other option is your particular booking isn't able to participate -- some agency/group/industry deals are excluded
-
We're on the same trip! I was actually thinking about using Private Journeys for Jamaica, since there are 8 of us.

Actually, the CDC preliminary estimate of flu death in the 2019-2020 season 14,000 at the low end of the scale. Where did you see 2100? https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

How to use royal Caribbean gift card ?
KristiZ replied to MindiLou's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Apply it to your cruise, even if your cruise is paid in full. At that point, depending on who is doing the processing on Royal's end, you'll either get it added as OBC (which is what is supposed to happen) or you'll get the money refunded to the form of payment you used for the cruise (which has happened to me one out of the four times I've found myself in possession of a Royal gift card). The most important thing is to add it to a cruise MORE than 14 days prior to sailing. -
We do this regularly! Especially since it is (usually) cheaper, and nearly always empty ?
