    After the Headliner show was over, we headed back to the cabin to change into our 20’s garb for the Prohibition Party held at Jazz on 4.

    How did you know to pack 20's themed attire pre-cruise? I have this same question for other themed nights in the MDR - I have seen a tropical shirt night and an all white clothing night, do they let you know ahead of time? 

  3. Pre-Book Specialty or Wait

    I don't think the price will be any higher on board.  The advantage to pre booking is being able to reserve a specific date and time.  If you book on board you might be limited by days or times that are left.

    Thanks so much! Thinking I am going to hold out and see what's up once on board... having to go by their available timing won't really be an issue as I've got my MTD scheduled all over the place as it is. 

  4. Pre-Book Specialty or Wait

    I have read a few times here that Royal will try and drum up business for its specialty restaurants while you're on board and offer discounts to get you in the door. 

    I am looking at Sabor for 1 night (on Freedom) and it's currently priced at $25pp. As a native San Diegan, $50 for a 2 person Mexican meal seems very steep.. sure, I could spend that much for one meal in SD but for that price it would've included at least 4 margaritas. I suppose with my DBP that our margaritas would be covered but as they're not technically factoring in to the $50 meal price I am questioning purchasing. 

    How often will Royal advertise specialty discounts once on board? Is $25 the lowest I am likely to see for Sabor? 

  5. Menu's Only

    Love this! I have a collection of the first 5 nights of MDR menus that I sourced by scouring for them in live blogs.

    Does anyone know, for a 7-night sailing is it just these 5 and then it rotates back to the first 2? Or am I missing 2? 

  13. Labadee and Coco Cay ... on the same itinerary? How often?

    luckily they always use a fairly distinctive coco cay picture for any cruise porting there.  So you can relatively easily scan through all carribean destination cruises for anything with that pic, and then glance for labadee.

    Actually I found it because I was more interested in visiting Labadee so I would let a page with Caribbean destinations load then use Command+F to find Labadee! Way easier this way since less sailings are going there than to Coco Cay

  17. Water with DBP

    I guess my question back to you is, does your traveling companion plan on purchasing the DBP too ?  If so, you can get 2 bottles of water provided you produce both Seapass cards to the server at the time you get your drink. If your companion is not buying the pkg then it would not be ethical to get a bottle of water for him/her on your pkg. 

     

    Yes, we will both have it! Forgot that of course I would need to present his seapass card to receive 2 drinks. Thanks so much.

    I was just on Freedom last week and I can tell you that the ship's water (out of the faucet) was terrible

    Aw, rats. Do you think I could get a cocktail and 2 bottles of water on one drink package transaction? My cruising companion drinks just as much water as I do. 

  22. Water with DBP

    in Royal Caribbean Dining

    Posted

    I am sailing Freedom in August and purchased the DBP for my boyfriend and I for $44pp/pd. I am a HEAVY water drinker as well as a fairly heavy drinker when it comes to vacation. On a regular day I drink around 96 ounces of water which only goes up when in the sun and drinking cocktails all day! I can easily drink 5-6 cocktails a day to make my break-even price but will be needing upwards of 120 ounces of water a day to try and battle my dehydration. 

    How does getting water work while on board? I have heard to ask the bartender for a bottle with each cocktail but how many will they conceivably let me have per day and do they offer any size of bottle larger than a lil 12 oz'er? I will be bringing my Hydroflask of course, but I hate to think of all the waste of those plastic bottles since I could be drinking 10 of them a day. 

    I am not a bottled water snob by any means (San Diego county tap water tastes great to me!) so how do people who haven't purchased a drink package get water? Are there filling stations for bottles like you find in an airport? I LOVE THOSE. 

    SOS! As a strictly water and liquor drinker I need to know the other half of my beverage choices is also easily obtainable. Thanks for any thoughts! ?

  23. Favorite Cruise Hack/ Tip

    Binoculars are great for a lazy afternoon on the balcony, fun to check out other ships or coast lines.

    Love this one! I already had them on my extensive packing list for my sailing in August. 

    I also love to travel to beaches with beach gear so you're set even without a cabana, chair or towel. I bring an old sheet for sitting on, pop-up beach tent for shade, my own quick-dry towel, oversize mesh bag and lots of supplies for beach cocktails - cooler bag, 2 reusable plastic bottles, insulated camelpak for water. I get thirsty on vacation!!
