MO & LO on the go!

We have been in several Jr suites. We would get to be in the suite line if the port had one for boarding, get to go in the suite lounge in the terminal before boarding, and double points on the cruise nights. Of course you get a bigger room and balcony than other rooms. You get robes to use on board. Not much more beyond that for a Jr Suite. You do NOT get the full suite benefits such as the concierge lounge and reserved seating. We usually only do it if the price is somewhat close to a balcony price.

What port of call?

HAHA! If people think Royal is going out of business because of a shared drink package then Royal better rethink the business model! It costs them so little for drinks! This post made me laugh because I can see people freaking out...

I have used my points (turned in to OBC) to pay the auto charged gratuities. If you do research on the different options you can find that one that is worth the most (upgrade vs free cruise vs OBC). It takes time and work but if you are willing to do it you can maximize the value. FWIW i usually just get the OBC...

No windows...

I kind of figured that with the security stuff, but for all the time spent on the boat I'll give it a try! ?

I kind of figured but you see the videos and hear the stories so maybe someone has a good story ?. That was crazy! Never seen the pool deck like that unless it's raining! There was sunny skies there

Curious if anyone has video or pictures of the weather from Dorian while on a ship right now (or just getting back)?

That sure looks convenient for the door! Might have to try it out on the cruise just to test it out and see if we like it.

Well that sounds like a pain!!! Ill stick to pulling it out of my pocket I'm thinking. Thanks for the info! Out of curiosity what it a rough price on the WOW band?

Cool! 10 cruises of the old cards will be interesting to try the new ones!

We have never been on oasis or quantum class ships (Have our first on Harmony in Jan 2021!). Do they all have RFID? and how does that work as opposed to the old type cards for stuff?

No it doesn't. It means many different things and it's hard to tell what. Could be as simple as their website sucks or that the itinerary is changing. If you really want to know info you can call royal and see what they say.

you will be able to see it at the kiosk in the photo area on the boat. Swipe your sea pass card and it will show you all the photos you are getting

Yes every picture the people or person in the room the package is purchased under are in

We usually get it when we have a big group. Then we take lots of formal night pics and everything we can at the ports. It's nice to have all the pics of the big group.

In our experience the digital is just that. A link to download all the pictures they took as a digital file on your computer. The digital and print is the same for digital stuff but the print allows you to grab every picture they print and put on the walls in the photo area. You get one print per photo. They are all 8x10 i believe but could be wrong on that. With the digital you can print anywhere and any size (they give you a release) when you get home.

Sorry I do not remember it. If you go just forward several cabins from the stairwell to the "mouth jammer" you should be good i think.

I was told no and not allowed. Generally the people that have video are sponsored people with royal who are doing "promo" type stuff with them. Youtube vlogs, instagram stuff, etc...

DO NOT GO BELOW BUFFET!!!! We had a room below the "mouth jammer" and were woken up by 5am everyday from rolling carts. Under the pools has been fine for us FWIW.

Agreed! Big test for it about to come...

Awesome, Thanks! The GoPro 7 will get really good footage with the stabilization!

90 days out from embarkation day you can complete your online check in on the Royal website and enter it there. I personally would do it as soon as you are able within the 90 days before just to be sure. I think the deadline is only because they close the online check in several days before cruise and you can't enter or change anything. You can always just show it at the port but it is WAYYYYY easier to do everything ahead of time!!!!!

We had people combined that were close, or over, the limit. They did not weigh us ,or even ask our weight from our recollection. Here is a video that you can watch and see the size of everyone on the excursion. Skip through the sped up parts as its just the straight riding part. It will show you the entire ride so you know what to expect from the very start to the very end and show you everyone's size that was on it.

We hang stinky workout clothes and wet bathing suits on the chairs on the balcony. Never on railing since they will blow away
