Has anyone used this method? It wasn't available on my January cruise. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/royal-caribbean-celebrity-cruises-big-160236202.html

Looks like you are doing a 6 night western Caribbean. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/symphony-of-the-seas/sun-03172024-0000 Hope that helps.

Thank you! It's been a while since I ordered room service.

There's a room charge if you are in a suite?

Yes, you can do 4 holds at a time. It doesn't cause the price of same cabins or suites to increase in my searching. I've been using this feature for months now. To me it's easier to find what I want and hold it think about it and if I book it send the booking to my TA. It's better than constantly bugging my TA.

One time on embarkation day I stopped at a bar to use my refreshment package to get a soda. Gave the bartender my card and a $5 he asked how much ice. Then he gave me a can to go also. So, now I give a $5.

On land a waiters/waitress tips are divided amongst bus, dish washer etc. Not sure how they do that on a ship. But we tip our dining staff and maitre d when dining in coastal kitchen where we eat most often.

Thanks! Guess I'll have to look at a drink package. Maybe stock up during happy hour.

I have a suite on this ship. There's no physical bar in the suite lounge. Do they use the Viking cown lounge bar? Do I get my free beverages here when ever it's open or are the happy hours enforced? On Oasis and Quantum I can go whenever the lounge bar is open and get my beverages. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is new or old. Just saw this. Royal Caribbean International canceled two cruises onboard the Voyager of the Seas that were scheduled to sail to the Middle East and Asia in November 2025. According to statements sent to booked guests, the sailings were redeployed to avoid unrest in the Red Sea area. After exploring all options, the company decided to cancel the Nov. 3 and Nov. 17, 2025, sailings, offering guests alternative options. Repositioning from the Mediterranean to Australia, the Voyager of the Seas was scheduled to offer a 14-night cruise to the Middle East on Nov. 3, 2025. Sailing from Civitavecchia to Dubai, the repositioning voyage featured visits to destinations in Italy, Greece, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as a transit of the Suez Canal. The 3,430-guest ship was then scheduled to offer a 14-night cruise from Dubai to Singapore on Nov. 17, 2025. Sailing across the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, the itinerary was highlighted by visits to ports of call in India, Thailand and Malaysia. “The time and effort you took to plan your cruise is important to us, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Every aspect of your time with us should be enjoyable, so we’ve put together some alternative options that we hope will work for you and those in your party,” Royal Caribbean said. In addition to opting for full refunds of the fare paid for their bookings, passengers can choose to transfer their reservations to any other Royal Caribbean International sailing. According to the statement, the company will waive any non-refundable deposit change fees, but guests will be responsible for any difference in pricing for their cruise fare, taxes, fees, gratuities and other non-cruise fare items. Passengers previously scheduled to embark on the Voyager of the Seas on Nov. 3, 2025, will also be able to transfer their reservations to a trans-Atlantic crossing onboard the Odyssey of the Seas. Sailing from Civitavecchia to Cape Liberty on Oct. 22, 2025, the 14-night cruise features destinations in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The guests’ stateroom category price will either be protected at their original cruise fare or, if lower, reduced to the current cruise fare. In a similar situation, passengers who were set to embark on the Voyager of the Seas on Nov. 17, 2025, can transfer their bookings to a 13-night trans-Atlantic crossing onboard the Allure of the Seas at no extra cost. The cruise sails from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale on Oct. 26, 2025, and includes visits to three ports in Spain. In this case, cruise fares will be adjusted to the new cruise or prorated for the change in sailing nights, with any overage being refunded, the company said. https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/2024/10/royal-caribbean-cancels-cruises-to-red-sea-and-asia/

I used to print them right from the website. Now the printing function is missing. I'll ask @Matt. Thank you.

Does anyone know if the actual slot attendant gets to keep the tip or is it split between the entire slot attendants working that shift? I had to 2 hand pays and gave $100 for each. The pot was small but it's a superstition for me to do that.

There a way to print past cruise compasses? I tried everything from right click to "ctrl & P" Thanks in advance!

Thank you @twangster the video was helpful.
