The wine does fit in the cooler in the cabin. Not all cabins have a cooler! Smaller ships interior cabins may not. not all coolers work great. If you can leave the cabinet door open so air can circulate around it that may help. Some report putting a bucket of ice in the cooler makes it colder. your cabin steward can bring a bucket of ice as well as glasses.

When is the June cruise? I must have missed that.

I’ve seen these offered onboard. it is offered on my Feb Anthem, I’ve not checked the others I have booked

I wouldn’t mind so much if it weren’t NUMEROUS times AND LOUD. Ever sit under a speaker? It was so bad on Jewel I had to get up and leave. Seriously. I’m noise sensitive for a lot of things. I watch my tv with volume set to a 9…I can tolerate up to a 15. If I were in a dance club I expect loud. I think there were 4 nights of this “assault” on my 8 night sailing. Ironically also on Jewel for Greenland-different seating area , it was LOUD and one poor man at our table would practically run out of the dining room when a hint of celebration was coming. I felt bad for him, obviously he was way more sensitive to noise than I am. if I had control over the remote I’d turn it down a few notches, then perhaps I could enjoy it. Not being able to carry on a conversation because the music is overwhelming is just, well, overwhelming. I get up and leave

Considering the all access tour is over $100 I thinkt he sip tour brunch is a reasonable price, even if you do not drink alcohol. The thing that kills me though is that they will not give soda in lieu of alcohol. Absolutely ridiculous.

I thought that's what this discussion group is for!

I'll be on this sailing. Looking foward to it. "Backwards?" As long as it's not upside down I am good. Maybe someone can elaborate what backwards means, I did a google search and couldn't find anything

look at trinityreservations.com They may have what you are looking for

They took the 2 seats that were at the high tabletop, one of which had my plate and silverware. Then the father directed me to a table of 4 that held 2 people. Either the kid sat down not knowing what a plate of fresh food and wrapped utensils signified-or the dad felt it was ok to push it aside. Even if the kid made a mistake dad should have realized the error. Definitely not worth a confrontation.

No explanation as to how similar play/budget yields different offers. I’m signature -from last year-with nearly 25,000 points this year and I’m almost Pinnacle-C&a level has nothing to do with the casino offers. . My points are not large amounts in one sailing. I think my max in one sailing was between 2,500 to 3,000. I’ve had about 4 offers in my clubroyale account from this time last year til now. I believe they have no interest in providing me offers since I have many cruises booked. in regards to email address. I’ve had them clean up my email at least 6 times this past year and with each time cleared up it gets attached to someone else again. They finally found and removed a partial account that had my name and email and partial phone number but a different address, that I never resided at, and a partial of my birthday! I do believe the next step is to change my email address. Unfortunately all of the email addresses I currently have have been used to book family/friends on cruises. That means I’ll have to create a new one. Not only that I’ll have to get my 14 upcoming cruises fixed to an updated email as I’m sure they’ll somehow screw that up.

Cash withdrawals through the slot machine: if 50% of funds transferred to the machine are not played at slots in the same day they were withdrawn they put a lock on your ability to withdraw additional $ through the slots. Talk varies as to how long that lock remains in place. Some say 24 hours some say 48 hours, others say the remainder of the cruise.

I can’t understand how you had 1 reservation# for 2 cabins. Points are earned per cabin category you stay in. As a suite guest you should earn 2 points a night. Had you been solo in the suite it would have been 3 points per night.

Don’t know what it is, afraid to look it up

If it’s showing on your account now you can use it for cruise planner (pre cruise) purchases or wait til you board and it’s available to use towards your onboard purchases. if it’s not on your account now it will be only in your onboard account and can be used while onboard

Had this on my last cruise. As a solo who can’t have someone babysit a seat for me I usually fill my Yeti and place it down along with my silverware and forage for the 3 things I eat. This one cruise I grabbed food first…what was I thinking? Placed the food at a high top shared table and put down my silverware. Unfortunately the coffee dispenser near my seat was empty so I had to cross the dining room to the other side to fill my Yeti. By the time I returned my food plate was pushed away and a father/ daughter were seated there. He asked if he should move….boy did I want to say yes but who kicks out an 8 year old?! Then he proceeds to point out an empty chair at a table for 4 that had 2 people seated. I walked elsewhere, placed my yeti and silverware and got fresh food. I wonder what he told the kid when they sat down?

Was present, first in line, for a show. Got the front row center seats I wanted, along with a friend and their spouse and the rest of the front row filled. Once seated spouses went to use the bathroom or get drinks. I knew to throw a sweater over the seat back of my husbands seat so those entering would know the seat was taken. I told my friend to hold a cruise planner over her husbands seat back. 10 minutes before the show a woman comes through the front row demanding the seats because they are vacant and “you can’t hold seats”. We all held our ground and she moved on. The theater was PACKED, last I saw she was heading to the back, still carrying on about any vacant seat. Well we had stood in line over an hour for seats! She shows up 20 minutes prior and thinks she’s getting front row?! anyhow, loved my seats for We Will Rock You. I’m going to miss Anthem but I have 3 more sailings on her, God willing, before she leaves Bayonne for good. You’ll find me in the front row of WWRY.

I love CoCocay. Way more palm trees than Junkanoo beach in Nassau. How long ago were you in CoCocay?

If you provide the area you are coming from there may be a bus service to the port. I’ve read about people taking a bus from Albany and others somewhere in PA.

A connecting cabin for you and hubby-it will have an interior door that you can keep open. That gives you 2 bathrooms and privacy plus a place to chill if the kids are napping., no need for a fold out couch and you’d have a spot for a playpen or portable crib (not sure what the ship offers for the 1 yr old.) and a place to park a stroller! Additionally if it’s 1 adult/1child in a cabin only 1 adult would have to buy an alcohol package if that’s something you were thinking of-otherwise 2 adults in a cabin means 2 alcohol packages-unless you make a call to Royal to book and give a reason why the 2nd person doesn’t drink-and then they have to buy the refreshment package if one buys the alcohol package. If you have connecting promenade interiors (they are offered in other categories too) you also get a window seat and a view! I never did a balcony with my kids (sailed with them age 9 and up….afraid of something going over). These interior promenades are midship so reduced motion -book closer to the aft elevator -less traipsing the kids up to the windjammer or the dining room than if you book forward. . Your in-laws might appreciate a promenade interior-if not regular interiors could be just down the hall. On some sailings the promenade interior is about a $40 per person upgrade or a bit more/less based on availability and ship. Your mother could book a balcony across from the promenade. while it might seem a good idea to book one of your kids with your mother to save $ if your mother cancels for some reason you are “short a spot” for that kid. Your cabin would likely hold 3if you only book 3 into it, same for your in-laws so to bring the 2nd child back could possibly mean repricing for a cabin that holds more. (Though with a 1 year old they MAY be able to waive the need for a cabin that holds 4-or so I’ve read. ) if $ is a concern you could book a cabin that holds 4-potentially book when kids sail free….but it’s 1 bathroom. You might find some larger interior or promenade-they are very rare. When looking at various ships check the sizes of cabins if considering a single cabin.

Open the app CLick on your "person" on the upper right Click on Select a different crise in the middle scroll and click on the blue after the "Dont' see your cruise" "lets add it now" Scroll and then click on "browse our ships" CLick on wonder of the seas CLick on the current sailing That sailing is populated with all of their activities/events. Ours will not be fully populated and accurate until our day of sailing. The reason you look at the current sailing is your sailing is likely not fully populated yet.

Thank you! I do! I’m on a B2B …

when I’ve booked with my kids I had to have them directly across the hall or adjacent to my cabin, that is the policy for under 21. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/international-age-policy? That can make it a challenge to find a cabin for 2 people across or adjacent to a cabin of 4….you can do some mock bookings online to see availability for what you need. We sailed on Adventure of the seas and I had my balcony cabin and did 2 promenade cabins across the hall with 2 kids in each cabin. As for activities…the 17 year olds won’t be able to get into some clubs after a certain time on some ships. 17 year olds also have a 1am curfew. Obviously the 18 year olds can’t go to the teens center for 17 and under. There are plenty of activities onboard that you can do together. BTW, taking unrelated minors -the 17yo, will require forms from their parent/guardian. Perhaps someone here can link them.

I’m n that sailing and they contacted my TA saying I owed $183… my cruise had been paid in full with no balance. Then 2 hours later….after he’d gone over my bill with them for 2 hours and he paid what they said I owed (well my credit card on file) they contacted him and said I owed more. I emailed bayleys office, they contacted me jjust before Christmas, apologized, and said they’d look further into it. The woman was going on vacation. I hope she enjoyed it because this is a cluster____I hope they figure out. She did say they’ll decorate my daughter’s cabin and have a cake-it’s her 21st birthday and hers is the cabin being threatened! I thought that was nice. Still want my refund!

only one more cruise, needing only 1 point, until I reach Pinnacle. this changes after my January cruise!
