Hello.

Going on my first cruise in October. #Navigatoroftheseas What is your best tip for not overspending? Let me know

Thank You,

Michael

Hi.

I'm going on my first cruise in October on Navigator of the Seas. Does everyone get some cruise credit? I booked directly on the Royal Caribbean site but it didn't mention any cruise credit when I booked. Just curious if I might get $20 in cruise credit or not to expect anything. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

I think it's pretty safe to say this is not an option.

After you log into your account , look in the top right hand corner and click on the down arrow next to the person icon, the click Royal Gifts then under choose a category select onboard deliver , you can order it there and have it delivered to your room. Expensive 

Yeah I looked at this but not available on my ship which is lame.

You can buy one or more bottles of wine in the dining room, and it seems you can bring two bottles of wine on board per person.  The MDR keeps your bottle available from night to night.  I don't know about the bars, but I would guess they can sell wine by the bottle.  Not sure about spirits.

yeah looking for other liquor but not wine.

Hi.

I know if you purchase alcohol from a store on board the ship they don't give it to you until after the cruise. Has anyone ever asked if they could buy a bottle from any of the bars? I just think the drink package is way overpriced even with buy one get one half off. Even if I paid a lot for the bottle I don't think I need to get a drink package. Let me know if you have tried this and been successful.

Thanks 

Michael

Ok, yeah I'll find something to do in Miami but just having bags with us was the only problem. Ok Leisurely get off the ship at 930. 

Hi.

I'll be going a navigator of the seas in October. When the cruise is over my flight isn't until 930pm at Ft. Lauderdale airport. What's the latest you can get off a ship leisurely before they kick you off? Just curious this is my first cruise so I'm not aware of the disembarkation process. Please let me know.

Thank You

Michael

Hi.

Are an dining areas included with your cruise on cococay? If you purchase the thrill park pass does is other dining included with that as well? Just confusing what is included and not or all on cococay. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

I can't understand how many people need that many plugs. I'm there for a vacation not to stare at a tablet or laptop

appropriate is whatever you can afford to give in my opinion.

Hi.

I searched on RC website and they said it's possible to set up a cash account instead of linking a credit card to your seapass card? Has anyone tried this? Is their a minimum you need to add to the account? I just figure its a way to limit my spending on a first time cruise. Let me know.

Thank You,

Michael

Hi.

does anyone know if there is wifi on coco cay? I realize why would I need to use my phone there but wanted to know if there was wifi to get into contact with people if we get separated there.

Thanks, 

Hi.

It will be my first time in Nassau Bahamas in October also first cruise. What was your most memorable tour in Nassau? I was looking at the essential Bahamas or Land and Sea tour. Let me know if you experienced any of these.

Thank You,

Hi.

What tour was most memorable to you on Nassau? Going on my first cruise in October and was looking at the Essentials Nassau tour or Land and Sea tour. They seem really similar with the essential tour obviously not having a boat portion. Or would you suggest a different tour? Let me know.

Thanks

Is your cruise going out of Port Everglades or Port Miami? A lot of which one you decide to fly into will be based on that.  Otherwise you’re looking at an ~80 Uber ride each way. Also, another consideration is airlines. If you’re an American flier, MIA is your only choice. If like me, you spend a lot of your year on Southwest, FLL is your choice as Southwest doesn’t fly into Miami. 

My cruise is out of Port of Miami. I'm hoping for a sale on SW because American airlines legroom/service is terrible.

It's basically a front of the lines pass with internet. If you don't care about lines it won't be worth it to you. Also, watch this video it helped me.

I second this lol.. I don't get for one second what people like about Miami. I have lived in South Florida my whole life and the only time I go to Miami is for cruising, going to Miami Heat games, and concerts. Other than that I find Miami dirty, boring, full of traffic, and just no big deal. The beach is not like the beaches of the Caribbean you cant see to the bottom.. I hate to sound so negative but I don't get it lol 

Haha well I've never been to South Florida at all. You do sound really negative. I live in a suburb of Chicago but still find Chicago interesting to visit for different things. I was interested in exploring Little Havana. Basically I'm just looking for good food or seeing scenic things like landmarks.

Hi. 

I'm going on a cruise in October but not sure if I'm flying in to fort Lauderdale or Miami. I know there are things to see in Miami but is there anything to explore in the Ft Lauderdale area. I'll probably have some time when I return from the cruise on a Friday because I plan on flying back at night. Let me know.

Thanks

Their is no right amount. Do what you feel comfortable with or afford. Everybody's budget is different.

Hi.

I know the advice is to buy something if you see it on the cruise planner. My question how is the process of refunding and re buying something if the price happens? Just simply call RC and they take care of rest? Please advise.

Thank You,

The current rules are that everyone in the cabin must get the alcoholic beverage package if one person does. Exceptions are allowed in some specific cases, such as a person being unable to drink due to medications they're taking, or religious practices, or recovering alcoholic. If you have one of those cases, you have to call Royal directly and explain the situation, and then whoever doesn't get an alcohol (Deluxe) package will still have to get the Refreshment (non-alcoholic beverage) package.

It sounds from your comment like you both drink, so in your case you'll need to both get the Deluxe package. But be aware that it covers every kind of beverage on the ship, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It's actually very easy to "break even" as long as you got the package for a decent sale price. Most of the time, getting a couple of specialty coffees, a couple bottles of water, and two or three cocktails or glasses of wine across the day is enough. And if you get a bottle of water with every alcoholic beverage you get, you'll also stay more than hydrated enough to avoid a hangover.

Do you know if you can just purchase the drink package for a day or two while on board? I don't think it's worth it for the entire cruise.

Hi.

Are all cruise port terminals the same experience? Some better than other than others with more organization or friendlier service or scenery? Just wondering what your experiences have been like. Does Port Canaveral compare to Port of Miami? Let me know.

Thank You,

Hi.

If you get a drink package does everyone in the cabin have to get it? I'm going with my girlfriend in October just wondering because she does drink more than I do. Also, if separate people have the drink package wouldn't it be possible for her to get me a drink and than get another. Please advise.

Thanks,
