if you didn't want to spend a lot. You could bring a travel tide and wash in sink in the bathroom and hang in the shower. Just an idea

When going to Bermuda there is no need to do any excursions through the cruise line.  All the local businesses (at Dockyard), taxi, tour guides and water sport companies know the cruise schedules.  The Island Tour Centre is a main excursion company located at Dockyard (cruise terminal).   This is the website: https://www.islandtourcentre.com/.  Another company is BDA Watersports: https://bdawatersports.com/

Thanks for the links. I like doing it through the cruise line because they get you back in time even though they might be priced a little more.

Try this if you don't have a reservation yet: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/destinations/shoreExcursions/subGateWayByPort/search.do?LocationCode=KWB

Go to your cruise planner if you do have a reservation

Thanks. No haven't booked yet. Feel not many people talk about Bermuda like Mexico or Caribbean cruises

Hi.
 

Researching Bermuda cruises. What type of excursions are there to do there? Also, I see it's docked 2 nights in Bermuda. Do you need to be back at a certain time the first night? Never seen that before.
 

Thanks
Michael

Hello.

Trying to decide between cruises with these cities as the main ports. Anyone been to both recommend one over the other? Highlights for each.

Thank You,

Michael

Hi. I realize this is RC blog but just curious. I’ve only been on 1 cruise with RC. What is something a competitor offers/does that you wish RC would do?

Hello.

Thinking about going on an Alaskan cruise next year. My question is can you still enjoy outdoor ship activities like water slides and pool on Alaska cruises? I’m from midwest so I know cold weather but can you still enjoy pool and outdoor activities like that on ships? What’s your take on Alaskan cruises?

Hello.

I’ve only been on 1 cruise but never bought the drink package? Do you tip still with the drink package? I know its optional but wanted to know what other people do.

Thank You

Michael

I wonder if RC has gone over the idea of just opening the ships up as a resort hotel that doesn’t cruise anywhere not sure if that falls under CDC guidelines. I’d be interested in that idea. Just a thought.

Hi.

Going on my first cruise next monday on Navigator! Are dress shoes required in the main dining room? Or is it just for formal night. Rather not just bring dress shoes for just 1 night.

Let me know.

thank you

Hi.

I plan on renting a car from Miami airport after my cruise next month on Navigator of the Seas. Does anyone know if the tolls exiting the airport are electronic only or if there is a cash lane. Please let me know.

Thank you,

Michael

Hello.

Going on my first cruise in October on Navigator of the Seas. I already prepaid gratuities and excursions. I only plan to by drinks on board. Are there any hidden fees or surcharges RC adds at the end of the cruise I should look out for on the final invoice. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael 

Hello.

Does anyone know the price range a bottle of wine is on board? Is it only high end wines available? I know you can bring wine on but I'll be arriving same day so not sure I'll have the time to stop at a store or want to pay the prices at the airport. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

Hello.

I'm going on my first cruise in October for 4 nights on Navigator of the Seas. It's a short cruise compared to others. What is your advice for making the most out of my 4 night cruise? Let me know.

Thank You,

Mike

I've been researching and the car rentals closest to port are generally higher priced than those at the airport. Maybe 10-15 dollars more. I'm going with Alamo but I've used Budget in another city.

I feel like the popularity has gone down since it's intial rise from when it was released. It disappeared and reappeared for my cruise in October 2019.

It depends what you want to do. If you want to explore a few different things then a rental car is probably going to be a better value. Avoid Miami traffic at rush hour as it can be pretty brutal sometimes and give yourself some time because they have a lot of construction and always confuses the GPS. There are also some excursions through Royal where they will keep your bags for you while you are on it as another option.

I was looking to do a fan boat tour and maybe stop somewhere for lunch after that.

Are you able to easily handle your luggage? I would get out of Miami via the Brightline train and take it North to Fort Lauderdale. Spend your day in Fort Lauderdale and when your ready to get to FLL it’s just an easy 5-10 min Uber ride away. Tons to do in Fort Lauderdale w/o the hassle of Miami. 

Yeah we'll both have a backpack and small carry on probably.

Hi.

I'll be going on my first cruise out of Miami in October. I get back on a Friday and my flight isn't until 930 pm at Fort Lauderdale airport. So I know I will have some time to explore. Would you suggest renting a car for the day or to uber/lyft everywhere? I've heard the traffic is really bad in Miami just want to know what people who frequent Miami or who live there would do?

Thanks

Michael

This may be a really dumb question, but I am trying to purchase the Voom Surf and Stream for 2 devices... to share with my adult son, who is also listed on my reservation.  I tried to select both of us when purchasing, and it put 2 packages in my cart, and so I uncheck marked him.. i am assuming that I just buy one package, in my name, and then he will be able to use one device and I will be able to use one device?   I don't want to find out later, onboard, that I he had to have his own package , in his name... I know, dumb question, but just making sure... lol

Thanks for asking I had the same question. I didn't know if it was like the drink package.

Hello.

I selected the option to we pick your room on the Royal Caribbean website. My cruise is 84 days. Will I not know cabin until day of cruise? Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

Hi.

Is there any benefit to booking your next cruise on board the current cruise? Has anyone done this and it ended up being a better price? Or is it just on board credit is the only benefit to booking next cruise on your current cruise. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

Hello.

I'm going on my first cruise in October. I'll be going with my girlfriend so I'm just wondering where do you put your stuff while your in the pool or in the water? I know big groups usually have a person to look after things but it will just be the two of us. I can leave valuables like phone in the room but what do you do with your seapass card while in the water? Not sure if I'm being super paranoid or not but do you just leave it in a bag on a chair or is it always with you? Let me know what you do.

Thank You,

Michael

Speed is the only difference.  Both are speed capped on a per person basis.  Surf is much slower, think dial up days.  Surf and Stream is more like DSL when it first came out.

Thank You!

Hello.

Is there a difference between Voom and Voom and Stream? Do they cap the data on the regular Voom? I'll probably just use it for emails but I wonder if anyone has tried both and if there is a real difference. Please let me know.

Thank You,

Michael
