  1. @tonyfsu21 For a short trip it would be, but for a week it's expensive. I would rather depend on a shuttle tbh and save $75.00.
  2. YAY!! I'm so happy that this is how that is working! Can we use it for gratuities at the end of the trip?
  3. I truly hope you are right! That would mean that my parents have that to spend as well as my kiddos and my husband and myself. This would be great for them. Thank you so much!
  4. I'm also going on Oasis in April 2025. We will be driving about 12hrs to get there. The price for parking at the port is about $22. You can look up the port website for more information. However, there are a few trusted places down the road from the port that are WAY cheaper and have shuttles. I advise doing some homework if this sounds good to you. If you are staying at a hotel, some will let you park there and leave your cars for the duration of your cruise and even have shuttles to the port. I'm not sure which ones, so you would have to make sure to ask.
  5. When I go into my CP I have 3 reservations that are linked. No matter which reservation I click it says I have $100 OBC. Is this $100 for each room or just $100 for me to use between the 3? I've never had OBC or linked reservations before so I have no idea. TIA!
  6. @Marc Van Niekerk right now I highly doubt they are going to open many options up for Labadee until they know if itineraries will change that far out.
  7. Thanks! I think for days where are going to just hang by the pool the WOW band will be worth it. Are there other colors of bands and do you get to choose?
  8. Do you have to hand your WOW band over to a crew member when get a drink?
  9. The excursions for my April 2025 cruise are already in the CP. However, I'm waiting to see when I'll be able to buy the beverage packages.
  10. I'm a mom of a young teen daughter and young son and I agree. If I caught this, it wouldn't end well. It would be worse if my husband caught it. Unfortunately people can get away with alot before getting caught the first time. This is why as travelers we should always be vigilant without being paranoid.
  11. Is there a place that shows the new MDR menus? I would love to get an idea of what will be available to show my parents. Then we can get an idea of where we will eat each night. TIA
  12. When I booked the cruise I put my husband as the main person making the reservation. This meant that the OBC went to his room, which shows our son being in the room. My room is linked because I made the reservation for three total rooms at the same time. (The third is for my parents) However, when I go into the RC website and choose his room it shows that there is an OBC. It doesn't do that if I choose my room. That's why I was thinking that it's for his room only. However, it may not matter if his soda package takes all of the OBC.
  13. For our sailing next year we put the kiddos in their own room. However, when booking I divided them up because I was afraid it wouldn't be allowed due to ages. Our daughter will be 15 and our son 12 when we sail. We don't have a connecting rooms they are just next to each other. The "boys room" has a on board credit that I would like to use part of for my drink package as well as my husbands. Will RC let me switch the kids around into a room of their own and let my husband and I be in one on paper? This way I can use the credit for both of our drink packages. (soda and refreshments) TIA
  14. Due to medical reasons my Dad will want to eat at a set time every day. However, 5pm is pretty early for most though seating at 5pm means you'll get your food later than that. I'm glad they are opening it up, but for those of us who are usually pretty laid back MTD will be just fine.
  15. Great idea! Thanks! OOooo I wonder if they have watermelon...
  16. Your wife and I would get along great. LOL I love fru-fru drinks! I plan on getting the refreshments package on my next trip so I can have a virgin daiquiri or pina colada whenever I want. I'm a sucker for anything fruity.
  17. @Pattycruise I think that is my question, what time does AM mean? I don't want to be in my cabin when it's supposed to be cleaned. Same with PM
  18. The difference between your post and the OP is that you still gave credit where credit is due and just said that it's not for you. Thank you for that. The OP decided to come on here and bad mouth it all like some hotels.com review. Maybe they work for the competition LOL
  19. Try looking on Cruisebound.com. I just saved $2k by booking through them and not the RC website.
  20. FINALLY!! I got the deposit down we can now make official plans. This is a Sweet 16 birthday trip for my daughter. Neither of my kiddos know yet. The youngest will find out when we pull up to the port. I've been waiting to get back on a RC ship since I got off the last one in 2013. I'm so excited!! Now let's start packing.
  21. I could probably handle the ships if they went to better ports or just ports that interest me more. I also enjoy the musical shows that are on RCCL.
  22. My family and I are looking to drive to the port from NC. There will be 6 of us and using two cars isn't an option. I don't care to pay for a rental AND parking for a week. Does anyone know if you can rent a car one way? I know most people fly in, but besides the price of 6 people flying, I have 2 that are physically unable due to medical issues. Any help is appreciated.
  23. @Al Miller I've seen those other ships and they just don't appeal to me. Maybe I've been spoiled (which is very possible) but I also am not a fan of the ports that CCL goes to. They don't go to St. Maarten and seem to love going to San Juan. I wish they (and Royal for that matter) went to different ports.
  24. My husband doesn't think that there is a rush either. He thinks that I'm worried about it selling out when it's actually about pricing. He also has no idea about what it took to even book our honeymoon. I've seen the sailing I'm planning for go up $300 in the last week or two and it KILLS me because I'm waiting on money to make my deposit. Hopefully, something will happen and it won't go up TOO much between now and then. I'm seriously looking at a 3rd party website as well instead of a TA.
