Hi everyone….this is my 4th cruise coming up , but, the first where I selected a guaranteed room without picking the room myself. We are theee adult women , going on symphony and staying in one room together. Someone said in a Facebook group for our cruise that to know your room number a tip is to look at your boarding pass once it is put in your Apple wallet and the last numbers of the bar code are your room number. Can anyone verify that this is always the case? I ask because our boarding pass says dk 12. And then the end of the bar code says 12150 . We thought this sounded great but after looking more closely , this appears to be a 2 person only room. Didn’t know if I need to call and see if they made a mistake or if since it is early maybe this was just temp and not necessarily goi g to be our room number since Royal hasn’t said that, it just appears that way….

Hi everyone! Could someone help me please? We are doing the Liberty cruise to New England and Canada for 9 nights, in September, and wanted to do the hop on hop off bus in Boston, to see the city, however, it is already listed as sold out on our cruise planner! I have done hop on hop off in other cities before and like it, and have usually purchased it on our own anyways. I can purchase it for Boston on Trip advisor, but my question is, is there a bus stop for it near the port where the ship docks, or do we have to figure out a way to get to one of the bus stops as well? Thanks for any help/ imput on this, I really appreciate it!!

i will try it and see what happens!

So basically, it might not even make that much of a difference either way?

Hi my cruising expert friends! I have a question about a cruise i just booked through the website last night for my aunt and myself. She is a Diamond member and I am only Gold, but since she is older and not very much into computers, making calls and all of that, I am taking care of all of that for us. She normally cruises with my cousin, who is also Diamond and who usually does all of the footwork. Anyway, today I watched one of Matt's videos where he said that each level up after Gold, a C& A member gets a better and better discount on a balcony room. When I originally did the booking online, i did not enter either of our C&A numbers because it would not let me. I had figured that I would just call and add them. Now I am thinking, she should get a decent discount on the balcony room i reserved. As it is currently, I am the primary on the reservation. I guess my question is, will they let us change it around so that she is the primary and we can get a better discount, or will they make us cancel it and redo it under her name? I tried to call them but the recording said they were now closed.

I know that in the high level suites, they will stock your fridge with soft drinks, but can you arrange to have soft drinks for your in room fridge in a regular cabin? I have bought water to have placed in the room and I really dont like the idea of lugging around a 12 pack of Cokes on day 1. I know that you can order individual cans from room service for like 3 dollars each but just wondered if there is a way to buy then ahead of time as i did the water... thanks for any ideas/ advice...

So, if we want to just skip booking an excursion, we could easily just get off the ship and take a short walk to go to a beach, the restaurants and shops, then walk back to ship at our leisure?

i had been thinking that it was just the 14th floor regardless of side, but then it hit me that I thought i heard somewhere that it was just on one side.... so thanks!

Can you access the Solarium from the room hallways on the 14th floor on both the port and starboard side of the ship when you are on Harmony? (Is Symphony the same?) thanks!! Julie

Thank you, that is good to know! My cruise starts on Jan 8 (this sat) , but i didnt place bid until Jan 1

Can anyone tell me if Royal notifies you when you do NOT get an upgrade? I kind of put in bid last minute after they sent me a second offer... but am getting antsy, waiting to see if it will be accepted or not.... Thanks! -Julie

Thank you! Your points make some good sense....and you make me laugh I appreciate the advice, as always!! - Julie

One more question..... On the Grand Suites on Symphony, can someone tell me how comfortable the couch bed is? Is it like a typical pull out couch (uncomfortable) or more like a regular bed would feel? THanks!!

Does everyone in a Grande Suite have access to the Suite Deck where the suites only hot tub is located?

oh ok that helps a lot, thank you !!

I have a cruise coming up on Symphony in a couple of weeks and am still considering a royal up bid. My question is though, can anyone tell me if there are Grand Suite's that are not Ocean View? I do not want to risk losing an ocean front balcony. I have heard that if you take a royal up, you do not have any control over where the room is located and so I am just not sure about it.... Thanks for any advice, answers...

Thanks! I don't think i put both of our names on the order when i ordered it, but i guess at worst, i will just have to buy another set... Maybe I will have the option to create separate accounts once we get them and sign on to take the test.

I ordered the 3 pack of the Rapid Antigen tests from the RC website, can my adult son and I for sure share the same 3pack, or should i order another set in his name?

oh that is awesome... thank you!!

Can anyone tell me what hours they are available to call for the test. I am trying to figure out whether we should try to do our test when we are still at home before we fly to Miami on a Thursday morning, or wait till we get to our hotel to take the test. I would prefer to take it before we left home, but didnt know how early they are available to take the call for the test?

I just stumbled upon this scratch off poster on amazon.... thought it was really cool, so thought i would share... fun gift idea for an RC fanatic ... https://www.amazon.com/Royal-Caribbean-Scratch-Off-Poster/dp/B08ZK9GP2Z/ref=sr_1_209_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=cruise+accessories&qid=1634500680&sr=8-209-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzU1g3WjZQMllEQjZUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjU1OTA5MU45SEczMEZPWU05MCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODcxNzIxMTRBT05ET0RWVlpaRyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Thanks, I'll try to be patient! lol I just love planning

Is it normal for the cruise planner to not have things up yet on a trip that is over a year away? I have booked a few in the past that were far off and never had this happen before. Wondering when my cruise planner options for dining and beverage packages …excursions etc will show up. I didn't know if they just wont show up this early or if something else was going on/ wrong with it causing a delay... ( cruise is at 481 days on Mariner- Jan 2023) Thanks!
