On Allure in February we could not book Entertainment until after we checked in @ our Muster location. Soon as we did that Entertainment opened on the App and we were able to book the shows. 

We did the RC Shuttle ($35/pp) in February to FLL and car seats were not required.  We will not do that again from Port Everglades, though.  All of the Shuttle guests going to MIA and FLL were released from the ship at the same time and there was only one woman on the sidewalk with a printed list of all 5 buses worth of passengers on it. There was no designated place to check in for the shuttles and it was just her alone on the sidewalk with 100's of us. It was chaotic. Some people had tickets for the shuttle, some of us didn't. There was just no system in place for it. 

Thank you, Jill!

Hey y'all!

I am starting the VERY early planning for an Alaska Cruise in June 2024.  I am a Planner at Heart and I love the process of investigating all my options for travel experiences...then I book it and move on to the next destination  My husband is the "Tell Me When/Where and I am There" type.  Does anyone have a idea of how soon RCL may publish those sailings? I am hoping June-Sept of this year?  This will be our 35th Wedding Anniversary trip and I want to be as educated as possible when I can jump on the booking.  I know some things may change from year to year (ships, excursions, etc..), but I am so excited about this trip!  Thank you for any info you can share!

Thank you!

GOOD MORNING!

Do Sky Class Suites receive the 5 beverages per day benefit?  trying to decide about Royal Up options.

TIA!

Thank you!  I appreciate the help!

Hey, y'all.....does anyone know if you purchase the Alcohol gift pkgs that come with canned Coke/Sprite/etc...can you switch them for diet/Zero? 

SO Excited to FINALLY cruise again!!! Allure 02/19/22...here we come!!!

I LOVE road trips, but I am very familiar with the exits between ATL and Orlando,  so it's easy for me! Our next cruise is Dec 13th out of Miami. I NEED a vacation....60+ hour weeks for 7 months has been a blessing and a curse. We have jobs and are SO grateful for that.  BUT,  my husband and I are exhausted.  ! We need a vacation and if it can't happen on a ship we are going camping in the woods somewhere so no one can get at us and we can recharge!  We would LOVE to do it at sea, but if that isn't possible, we will find a way!

Thanks for the encouragement.  I know there is a 50/50 chance of actually getting to go but I have this fear of being randomly selected as a reservation that gets canceled to thin out the crowds....NO info to lead to this thought process, just my brain being overly active since I still show "you owe have no balance due" on my Planner. 

I called the RCL office and they are telling me that I still owe them money and it is an IT issue.   Fingers crossed!

I got a price drop notification from Cruiseline.com and went into my December cruise to see if I am actually saving any money on my cabin type....yestersday I owed $1600.00.....2 minutes ago my account says "you have no balance due"......am I about to be canceled?   Final Payment isn't due until 09/14/2020.

Thank you. Guess we will wait and see. I will keep it on the list. I am trying to stay optimistic for my December cruise on Allure, so I plan and cross my fingers.  I was supposed to be boarding a Girl's Trip with my daughters today on Independence, but.....Thank you again!

Can we access water from the Freestyle machines without having a bev pkg?  I always bring my 32 oz Nalgene bottle with me so make sure to drink enough water on my adventures and I hate the thought of all those bottles/cans having to be recycled. (i also bring detergent, so my bottle is cleaned often!)

Thanks for any info!

My daughters & I are supposed to be on Indy for a June 22nd cruise....it is very stressful waiting to see if we get canceled because I don't want to book Coco Cay excursions just for them to have to refund me, but I also don't want them to sell out. I do see a few items that show sold out and others are getting more expensive, so I hope we get to go, but realistically I just don't know how RCL would do it unless we ditch the Nassau stop and do two private island stops.

Y'all are fun! 

PIMA1988, I like the way you think!

Thanks y'all!

Thanks for the info, WAAATOOO!  we may just have to bring our own wine and be happy about that. Thanks again!

Is it possible to prepurchase a bottle of liquor for our stateroom or order it through Room Service on Independence? I have seen bottles of wine as Gifts, but not liquor. 

Thanks y'all! 

Good to know......leave the beverage behind!   GOT IT! 

Does anyone know if we need to sign a waiver each time we want to do the zip line/flo rider or does one waiver cover the length of our cruise or maybe a single day? 

Still triple digits before our cruise, but i am a Super Planner!

Thanks for any info you share! 

We are looking for offsite parking at a local hotel with Saturday night lodging before our Sunday departure. I am certain there will be some fees involved, but no where near what airfare would cost for us. 

AJK, My family camps A LOT! The girls and I pitch tents but my DH will not, so we also own a 28' bumper pull.

I know that Port Canaveral and Port of Miami both have "over sized" vehicle parking. Our truck is 23' from bumper to bumper and 6'8" tall. We were encouraged and able to park in the regular lot @ Port Canaveral. Port of MIami says any vehicle over 20' in length must be parked in over sized parking for an additional fee of $22/day and all vehicles must be parked head first.

Idk how tall your unit is, but I hope this gives you some usable info.

I would love to go full time! What adventures you will have!

We are having the same debate in our house. I love road trips, but my DH is not excited about the drive from Atlanta to Miami. I am not excited about luggage fees on airlines but I love the idea of being in our Departure location in just a couple of hours. It may just come down to cost and airline/hotel options. I wonder if i can pack an 8 night cruise into a single carry on per person???
