We have 16 people on our upcoming cruise in a few weeks.  I emailed rcldining@rccl.com and requested two tables of 8 people each and they were able to accommodate my request.  I provided the names and booking numbers for all the people in my party.

It was the same as the dinner menu when I had it for lunch last month on Harmony.

This isn't a dining option on the cruise planner so I assume you need to make reservations for the Hibachi lunch on the app when you board the ship or at Izumi when you board the ship.  Does the available reservation times for lunch sell out quickly?  

I am on the August 6, 2022 sailing on Symphony of the Seas and there are very limited choices of excursions on the Cruise Planner.  2 for Cozumel, 6 for Roatan, and 1 for Costa Maya.  Does anyone know what is up with that?

You can also request them if you are Platinum level and above.

My family typically cruises in balcony staterooms and we always make the request for robes to be provided when we meet with the stateroom attendant on the first day and they are always happy to provide them.  

The only time I was asked to put down my drink was when I went into the shops.  Otherwise you could carry it anywhere.  You can also take your wife's seapass card along with yours and order drinks for both of you.

Yes, that is what I was told.  They said I would be taking a chance of someone else grabbing the spot on the excursion, because they wouldn't know how long it would take for it to pop up as available.  Thanks.

I had the same issue with the WaveJet at CocoCay.  A party of ten people booked an entire time slot making that time slot "sold out".  During the Black Friday sale, the price for the WaveJet dropped almost 50%.  I called the Cruise Planner number and asked if they could apply the new price without it affecting the reservation.  They said that the system only allows them to cancel the reservation and there would be no guarantee that time slot we booked the original reservation for would be available to rebook at the lower price.  I would think they would be able to hold the spot while cancelling and rebooking but apparently they can't.  So we left it alone and was not able to take advantage of the sale price.  

I usually do the checking in for all four members of my family and we always cruise in two cabins.  Photos are not required for check in.  You can have the photo taken by the agent when checking in at the port.  

I was one of those on Navigator departing August 13th and switched over to Freedom.  It still shows on my cruises when I logon to Royal Caribbean.  It could be possible that they are waiting until all the passengers are switched over and to see if any passengers opted to cancel the cruise for capacity purposes,

I was scheduled on Navigator for August 2nd, but the way I read it, it's canceled, however I have not received an email or anything about it. 

 

I am on Navigator for August 13th.  Just got an email from Royal Caribbean that those booked on Navigator will be automatically moved to Freedom.  

No mention of Navigator.  I'm booked on the Aug 13th trip.  Here's hoping they move the people from Navigator to Freedom.  

I played pickleball on Adventure of the Seas in March right before the cruise shutdown.  It was available every day typically from 9 to 11 am.  I think there were three courts with portable nets on the sports court.  Note, on a sea day, it can get pretty windy and very challenging to play the game.  

It is a follow the leader type of tour but if you are placed near the front, you will go full speed.  If you are placed in the back and you keep moving closer to the person in front of you, they will move you up in the order.  Out of 9, I started in the fifth position.  By the end of the tour, I was in the second position.  

Better be safe than sorry and bring their driver's licenses.  When I booked this for my children, the cruise planner allowed me to book it just for the children.  When we showed up, we discovered that since they were under 18 or 21 (can't remember which), an adult older than 18 or 21 had to accompany the 16 year olds.  So I had to buy the excursion for myself so my children could do the jet ski tour.  

I'll be boarding Navigator this weekend.  I was wondering if the capability to use the Royal App to chat with other people on the ship is available for Navigator yet?

I'm on Navigator in June and haven't seen anything for the escape room. Weird!

It will be listed under Entertainment and Other Activities in the cruise planner.  The name of the activity would be "Observatorium"  

We are on Navigator in July.  The escape room came up on our cruise planner about 70 days out.
