Mr. Candyman

If her phone is not in airplane mode she will be using data. Some don't realize apps, emails. etc use your phone's data and it doesn't take long to accumulate charges. You might want to try to talk her out of AT&T service as it's not going to be cost-efficient and a waste of money. You may as well use that money towards a 2-device VOOM package to appease her.

I've gotten so used to referring to the boards for answers that I didn't think about RCI FAQ. It says you do keep prior perks.

If we do go ahead with the upgrade, say from Boardwalk Balcony to Ocean View Balcony, we loose the perks that come with the BB room right?

From what I've been reading online waivers are no longer available. I was able to do it before they stopped, so will find out in September if I'll have to do it again once onboard.

As was I for our kids....Maybe some of the ships are different when it comes to minors? Out of curiosity, which ship are you sailing on, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes

I was thinking that may have to be done but didn't want to throw it out there not having experiencing it myself....thanks for the verification.

Once you're onboard, goto the available networks on your phone and choose the ships WiFi....it should sync once you do that.

There seems to be an update about every 2-3 weeks so maybe it'll be better your next time around. It'll be in Beta mode for awhile so I'll give you update in a couple of months

The scanners are actually a little bigger than the ones at the airport so as long as it fits, you can carry your luggage on board yourself. But in doing so you'll have to lug it around with you until are able to access you're stateroom at 1:00pm. Otherwise you check it in with the terminal porters and as @melski94 stated and it will be delivered to your stateroom.

On Allure, would you say it's better to watch sail away from deck 7 cabin balcony (unobstructed) or on deck at the front of the ship?

Others have indicated Push notifications were active, I just don't know how reliable. But to reiterate, it's currently available only on Allure and Harmony

I believe the after-hour charge is $7 per hour per child. I'm guessing that has to be arranged ahead of time because I've read if you don't pick them up by 10 o'clock, it's a dollar per minute charge per child; but they don't start charging until the 16th minute.

If you book in advance you'll usually catch a $5.99/day special...otherwise it can be $13/day if you wait until you get there.

Sorry Matt, I had started answering on my phone but never sent it

My items have stayed in there until I remove them or make the purchase. Keep in mind just because they are in the cart doesn't mean that price is locked in. If RCI changes the price it will be reflected when you make the purchase or the website will give you an error.

Do you remember what's in it?

Mine uses software that alerts when there's a price reduction but I've caught a couple reductions that my TA didn't so being self diligent is definitely best.

You are able to get additional keys to open the cabins. Just an FYI, I have an upcoming sailing on Allure and I have my kids (5,8,14, and 19) in an interior cabin with my wife and I directly across the hall in a outside balcony. I thought I was going to have to split my wife and myself apart but my TA said as long as the kids are within a cabin or two, they can be in their own cabin. That's how I'm currently booked so I know it can be done.

He will be able to leave and return the ship on his own

Price just went back down today at $49 for my September 1 Allure sailing

Since this topic was revived, does anyone know if they still hand out lanyards for the kids in Adventure Ocean?

According to Royal, the age you are at the beginning of the cruise will be the age you are considered the duration of the cruise but I believe once they turn 21 you can go to guest services and have them update the Seapass card indicating she is able to drink.

Happy Fathers Day @OrlandoDad. I was wondering how early you'd end up leaving this morning. I'll be curious to see how you make out so don't forget us ?

I'd go the times in cruise planner. When they updated the itinerary due the Azipod issues, the times in my cruise planner were adjusted. Information on the App keeps changing and probably won't be correct until you get on-board, and even then still not 100% matching the cruise compass.
