hmmm...could be that people are scratching up the walls taking the really strong ones down wrong? I know we have ones we hang from the ceiling for out excursion bags and those need to be pulled down carefully to avoid damaging what they are adhering to

I hope they don't roll this out entirely until things are fixed to work faster especially on islands with less internet infrastructure...

agreeing as well the this is one of the areas where waiting to book on board is better. there's also usually discounts when you book multiple services (10, 20 30% off the more you book) and the specials are only on board. I usually book whatever combo massage special they have because its a great deal (a massage, mini facial, and some other pampering thing usually) and around $129-149 if i recall correctly.

HULLO! we did Sunscape back in 2022 in Curacao and it was SO good. Here is my full review - I FULLY recommend.

I've just recently seen that the pier is back open...cut it relatively close but I'm SO glad we get to go. San Juan was one of the primary reasons we booked this sailing. Also you rock for this breakdown! definitely adding to the cruise binder

I think we did 2023 Harmony at the same time! I ended up being extra introverted and didn't go to any meetups but i think that's the one you were thinking of. lol small forum! (because of work i usually only take august cruises tho so maybe only a little small lololol) also thanks for the tips! I'm definitely thinking we'll skip booking anything for San Juan - seems like there's so much to do easily on your own.

Hello friends! I've come seeking your assistance. We're all booked (and have been for a while) for Oasis in August and really looking forward to it BUT funds are getting tighter with other life events. We don't want to waste our time on land but shore excursions (even ones booked 3rd party) can get pricey...so I'm here asking... What are your low-cost or free (non beach day) excursion suggestions for: BASSETERRE, ST KITTS & NEVIS SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO Much thanks as always!

I have returned! It's good to be back. Missed this place.

Reservations need to be made in person on boarding day.It will be busy but it's best to go and book what times you want as soon as you can. As for breakfast and lunch, it is a strict royal policy that JS are not able to come in for those times. If you show up, you will not be seated. THAT SAID...on a recent harmony sailing in a JS we got a call from Coastal Kitchen on the second to last day inviting us to lunch complimentary. We hadn't asked about it or anything like that, my guess is that numbers were low up there for lunches so they were offering dining to guests that normally wouldn't have been allowed. We didn't look a gift horse too much in the mouth so not sure if there were any additional factors that played into that (the fact that we were diamond, that we had only been in 1 other time that sailing, the fact that we only had 2 dinner reservations for the whole sailing etc). So...yeah..that happened and it is SUCH a YMMV scenario I only bring it up because it *did* happen not that it *will* happen

Our very first cruise we called and booked over the phone because we were taking advantage of a Cruise and Universal Studios package that royal used to offer and it was nigh impossible to book that online as first timers. Our second and third cruises we booked online ourselves. Everything after that we have booked through next cruise on board to get that sweet sweet suite OBC

Since we always book suites and suites don't have a reduced deposit, we like to book on board solely for the OBC. It's the only place you are promised OBC without having to pay extra on the base fare for the free money.

Like Doug said, there is technically and officially a corkage fee (which is applied regardless of a cork being required) and in 3 cruises taking advantage of the bring wine on board, this past August as Izumi Hibachi on Harmony was the only time it was ever mentioned to us. And, I will say we cackled when the staff said "oh there's a corkage fee" and we said "...it's a twist off..." and they're like " well, we still have to charge if we open it" to which we said "okay...then I'll twist it" and I swear they were much confused. In the end, we just saved it for the MDR. But note that your mileage may vary so if you want to avoid any and all chances of fees, it's best to open it in the room and bring poured glasses to dinner.

Resurrecting this to ask if anyone has ever taken their own polish to the spa? I know it's a pretty common practice on land but not sure if the ship spa would have any issues with it. Last time I went, they only had a selection of like...8 polishes and I didn't want to be limited like that again.

okay that is CRAZY! I've never seen something like that before..one would THINK the flooring for an outdoor area would be weather resistant!

Resurrecting my old thread to see if anyone has any opinions on Allegro Resort Cozumel or Occidental Grand Resort These are the two I'm finally narrowed down to and just looking for the hive mind's feedback on either to help me make my final decision.
