Thanks guys.

If I buy this package can 2 of my party on a different reservation be one of my 4?...and I guess you can use it on Coco Cay?

thanks x

Can you take a bottle of spirits onto the ship?

Ellington’s I think she called it. I’m informed that on the app it says 18+ ?

Can 20 year olds go to the nightclub and not drink? My daughter is 20, her boyfriend 21 and given we’re Scottish she enjoys a wee night out

There’s tension already given he can have a beer and she can’t. Being unable to go to the nightclub might cause significant tantrums!

We are going in October and are not doing an excursion. Instead, we're using one of <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=h&oe=UTF8&msa=0&mid=1z0pKUFtyYA1D0nd8O4dC9Q3pJSE&ll=25.077990614432007%2C-77.34067099999999&z=14">Frommer's Walking Tour</a> plans to see some sights. (I enjoy touristy things, so this scratches my itch for free.)

Our plan is to be back on the ship by early afternoon.

 

 

Thanks for this. Was wondering how to do Nassau and this is ideal. Maybe stop for a wee cocktail after building up a thirst, then back on board.

All this info is really greatm thanks @Pima1988 

I'm not too bothered about the climate being too cool, i'm coming from Scotland and swim twice a week in the North Sea! 

That's all awesome info, thanks for taking the time to relay it all. Tell me, I have it in my mind to time the attendant maybe $50 when we arrive, is that too much/too little?

@adidassler We had the Chill island cabana in July.  There will be 8 towels in the cabana waiting for you, so there is no need to check them out on the ship.  Just like they will have the cooler filled with ice and water.

 

thanks @Pima1988 that's great news. first time cruiser so everything is totally new. I've read you get floating mats and snorkel stuff too, did you get these?

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I've got a chill island cabana booked for october 20th, do they provide towels at the cabana, or should i take some from the ship?

Gracias!

Is there milk shakes available at other places on the ships? ( mariner?) my lad doesn't drink fizzy juice so I'm hoping his drink package covers them somewhere!?

I'm fine paying the 18%, I just thought it was added to my on board account to be settled at the end of my cruise, not to the cost I pay in advance.

thanks everyone.

When you pre-purchase the deluxe beverage package online (before the cruise), the 18% gratuity is automatically charged at the time of purchase.  If you purchase beverages individually on the ship (no drinks package), you are automatically charged an 18% gratuity at the time of purchase.  There's no way around paying the drinks' gratuity.  If you choose to add additional gratuity, it is your option to do that, but there is no way to choose NOT to pay the drinks' gratuity.

This is excellent. I was under the impression that an additional 18% would be charged to my on board account to be settled on departure if I bought the drink package, but reading this it's included?

I kinda knew I was right, but when an  employee of the company in question insists you're wrong, it throws doubt. Thanks.

I've got two cabins booked for October,  I'd like to add on the drinks package so called RC as I assumed it would be easier to do both cabins drinks packages by speaking to a human. 

Wrong. I asked if the drinks package is valid on Coca Cay and the lady insisted it was not, i asked her to clarify with a colleague and she continued to insist it cannot be used off ship. 

I didn't want to press the issue and also didn;t want to buy it without confirmation...so, who's wrong? Me or the lady on the phone?

Ta.

On Symphony last month Johnny Rockets did give us milk shakes at no charge and to go. Others here have reported that they could get the free shake only if they paid the cover charge and ate their meal there. So it probably depends on the ship. Maybe a recent Mariner passenger can help. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer.

Thanks Skid. The more I investigate, the more I get confused!

I was under the impression that no drinks were complimentary on board, including bottled water? But i've just read further down the forum that it is...can you shed any light on that?

With the refreshment package, can you get milkshakes? My son doesn't drink fizzy drinks so may be a deal breaker deciding whether to get it.

On The Mariner if that makes a difference.

thanks!

I've booked a couple of cabins this October, my own on is on deck 7 but my daughters is on deck 10, right below whirlpools and very close to bars. My gut tells me to change her cabin, can the noise from deck 11 be noticeable one deck down?

thanks, from a newbie.

This was posted by someone currently on the Royal Caribbean Blog Mariner Group Cruise. Might help give an idea of proximity.

Hi, what is this please? Is there a specific chat about the Mariner? 

 

Crikey. And I thought my daily commute in Leith was hairy.

Not sure there's much on offer from Royal Caribbean that I fancy, does anyone have any experience of suggestions of someone who could maybe offer a bike tour for a couple of hours?

thanks,

Adi

I like the sound of a coco loco!

Hi Adi - welcome to the forum! We're definitely a gentle group here.

YES!  Your drink package is definitely honored on Coco Cay.  Have a fabulous cruise!

Thanks for replying SpeedNoodles, that's great news, and makes the value of the drinks package more reasonable.

Hi, first time poster, first time cruiser, be gentle

I'm cruising on the mariner of the seas in October, I've booked a cabana at coco cay and I think I'm going to book the drinks package too.

From what I can tell, all food is included on coco Cay, would the same be true for drinks if I booked the drinks package?

thanks, Adi.
