Am I missing something looking over the European schedule for 2024 and Oasis of the Seas is listed 7 nights out of Barcelona on  Sundays starting 5/12 and 7 nights out of Rome on Thursdays starting 5/9 ?

see screen grabs below 

Cruise on Odyssey in Feb. RC only shows 1 excursion for Falmouth Jamaica (wierd) and not 1 I'm interested in. What excursions do you recommend and who do you book through? Also when shouldI expect RC to add more options?

Was thinking about booking flights through Royal's Air2Sea option for our cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale and had a few Questions:

How soon do we get our itinerary for the airline, so that we can move seats if necessary and prepay luggage? ( we would most likely book nowpay later)?

Is Shuttle transfer included or extra? When/how do you add that ?

Does anyone know if you can book a balcony room capable of sleeping 3 for 2 cruisers and possibly add a 3rd at a later date? 

Or is it better to book for 3 and if the 3rd can't do it, cancel the 3rd cruiser?

With RC offering  125% obc for pre-cruise purchases on canceled sailing , I wanted to confirm whether or no TV OBC can be used for cruise planner perchases prior to boarding ( Ie: drink packages, excursions, ect.) And is it available to use right away?

Your FCC will be issued by the cruise fare paid by each guest and not by cabin. You mentioned that you booked under KSF so that means your child just paid taxes and fees. You will likely not get back an FCC for the kids. Just for guests who paid a cruise fare.

Nope kid was charged as 3rd guest, the cruises I'm looking at booking are KSF so if my kid is in the new cabin does it matter that he sales free or can can the credit be applied because he is listed in the new cabin 

So unfortunately I am affected by the shutdown, royal has canceled my cruise. My question is, as I have tried to read up on how the FCC work, myself, my wife and my 15 month old child were all in one room, due to promotions and 3rd guest our individual fares were all differen. As I understand it the FCC get issues by guest not by cabin. With the promos running now( Kids sale free) I'm worried FCC may not be the best option, does FCC have to go towards the individual fare or just be in the cabin? Dont want to go that route and find out that my child's wont be able to be applied because of the kids sale free promotion. Sorry if this is confusing I'm trying to understand.

The article doesn't mention if he updates quarterly or periodically, does he mean in the near future (2nd and 3rd quarters) and longer or short term so hard to get a feel for his intent or target audience. What is a bad Idea for 1 investor  can be a good idea for another, depending upon time horizon, risk tolerance and objectives.

I think I read milkshakes at Johnny Rockets are not included

That has changed somewhat recently and they are included (although you need to pay the cover charge to dine at the restaurant).

sorry I'm a little thick, I can walk in get a shake and walk out no charge with the drink package  ?

I'm cruising on HOTS this spring, sailing on 4/26/20, they have opened up dinner and entertainment on the cruise planner, however the earliest time that they are showing for My Time Dinning is 6:45p, do you think if I call that they will have earlier times available?

thanks in advance

I would also like to add, when smoking was banned from all the bars and restaurants in my town, the businesses all went ballistic. There was all of this gloom and doom about losing the coveted smoker's business and loss of revenue that would result. What actually happened was basically nothing. 

when  land based Bars and restaurant that go non-smoking , weather by choice or law , the patrons still have the option to step outside to have a smoke. On a cruise no such option exists. If you ban it ship wide, until your at port guest would have to go "cold turkey", making sea day unbearable for some guests used to having multiple cigarettes a day .

I don't see this happening  (banning smoking ship wide ) 15% is a small percentage of the whole but those are the ones you admit they smoke, I know some who identify as a non-smoker but will have quite a few when drinking is involved 

So on board credit, can you add it to an upcoming reservation that you've already made ?

Maybe if you told us what excursion you were think about you would get better results.

GUMBALIMBA PRESERVATION PARK in  Roatan 

We are traveling with a 14m old and are bringing our carseat, can the carseat  be sucered on the excursion shuttles? 

Does anyone know the the rules on Coco Cay for the pool are the same as the ship ,as it pertains to toddlers( ie no swim diapers)?

Thank you in advance for your help.
