When to shop for flights?
Rene Desmarais replied to Rene Desmarais's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I usually group Buffalo and Hamilton together when looking for flights. The good news is my parents live close to the border, so that's a plus if i have to go to Buffalo. -

Yes, FLL is my fall back plan in case we have to use that destination. -
I booked a trip for our family of 4 on Navigator of the Seas for Nov 2, 2020. When would it be a good time to price/shop for flight to Miami? Believe it or not if I was flying this Nov 2nd, my flights will cost more than my cruise..

Hotel recommendations for San Juan

My wife and I stayed at the Sheraton OLD San Juan and loved it -
Drink packages increase for 2019/2020 sailings
Rene Desmarais replied to Chanda's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
with that pricing, every reason for me to not buy any of the drink packages. I'll buy my alcoholic drinks when I'm visiting every port.. much cheaper. -
I was on Freedom of the Seas back in May, and the line up was super long. so ya....... awesome pizza from what I heard.
-
I'm Canadian and the currency conversion kills it for me. any of the packages are too expensive.

San Juan Pan American Pier Question
Rene Desmarais replied to tolkienfan43's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
When came back from FOTS out of San Yuan. No issues nor challenges at all. very easy.. once you arrive at the port, there's a large group of individuals waiting to take your luggage. then point you in the right direction to start the embarkation process. -
May 12th, Freedom of the Seas

Deluxe beverage package for only one person?
Rene Desmarais replied to Julie.a's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm almost in the same situation as you. I drink coffee and booze and my wife doesn't, even Sodas. My wife is happy in getting the basics, no need for any drink packages. RCL said no to me buying the deluxe drink package. So i guess it's no booze for me on the ship... oh well -
I think you can only make reservations on OASIS Class ships. Someone will confirm this shortly.. Once you do board the ship, you can make your reservations then..

Trying to research options on what's available from Airport to Hotel then Hotel to Pan American Pier to board. So far I found that Uber is very limited, taxi is an option.. Lyft was not available. We are staying at the Old San Juan Sheraton and haven't looked i if they offer transportation to port. Anyone have any recommendations or experiences to share?
-
Lyft, Uber, taxi... not sure about an RCL shuttle

Last time we were in Cuba, we were advised not to tip in US Currency . No Cubans are allowed to have US currency.. You might want to research that if it still stands.

I hate running out of clothes to wear.. Like the fact they have laundry services on board. So I plan on using that at mid cruise.

Rene Desmarais replied to Jorge Machado's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm 25 days out for Freedom and nothing has come yet for entertainment reservations -
My wife and I have discussed the Tipping on our May 12th cruise. She agrees to pay prepay the gratuities. but that's it. nothing else. I'm going to feel really bad when someone gives us great service and not tip them.. grrr

What time can we really arrive?
Rene Desmarais replied to Rhonda wood's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm so sorry guys. wrong ship @Matt Harmony of the seas on a Eastern trip. that was my friends 5th trip on Harmony and loves it. I think he took it 1st week of March not sure, But he did say the early boarding was a no go. He had to wait for his boarding time,. It did not affect the Key or any priority boarding options. -

Rene Desmarais replied to Rhonda wood's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
@Mattthe boarding time ritual may have changed. A friend of mine recently came back from A Symphony of the Seas.. RCL has started to re-enforce the boarding times. No more early boarding.... I don't know if they have changed this to all ships, but for sure... Symphony...
