  1. They are the standard size cans. Skinny 12 oz
  2. You can look into a private shuttle service that might be able to provide a carseat. If you are on Facebook, there is a group called Royal Caribbean Moms at Sea: Crusing with Babies, Toddlers, Kids and Teens. This group has lots of wonderful information and great advice! Edit to add: if you are bringing your carseat, and Uber/Lyft will work just fine. Just let the driver know you need some extra time to install the carseat.
  3. Awesome!! Thank you so much! I was going to try and book it when we got on the ship but wasn't too sure if they would let us!
  4. Does anyone know or have a map of where roughly the casitas are located on Oasis? My husband and I booked one for a port day and I know you have to go the the Lime and Coconut the day of (or can try on embarkation). I'm just curious as I would like to get one that gets some sun. Not terribly concerned just curious. TIA
  5. Do we know when this month it is expected to open? We are eager to see videos about the area! I'm hoping it lives up to the hype (worse case we cancel our purchase). I'm sure @Matt has a video planned for this
  6. My husband just booked this for our November sailing on Oasis. We paid around $48pp! So Excited!!
  7. To make a long story short, my husband and I are ready to cruise again after taking a 2 yr hiatus due to starting a family. We are looking to cruise this coming November (just us two to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary) on Oasis and this time we are planning on using a TA (already reached out to MEI). Anyways, we used to play MyVegas and typically turned in our credits for OBC. He thinks if we use a TA that we cannot turn in our credits for OBC. Does anyone know if this is true or should I just wait until I hear from a TA? Thanks!!
  8. Thanks everyone!! This is very helpful and my husband and I have a lot of thinking/preparing to do
  9. Thank you! For the carseat I'm just wondering how we would get it on the ship. I know the rooms are small. Our daughter would obviously need a carseat from the airport to hotel to the port.
  10. Hi everyone!! It's been quite some time since I have posted on here! Can someone help us as we are possibly planning a cruise for our 5 year anniversary next year and we may bring our daughter who will be roughly 22 months. Did you find it easy or hard to travel with a child this young? Also, I know you would have to pay for childcare on the ship. I'm assuming the cost depends on the itinerary/ship? What would the cost be roughly? Will RC provide a crib or would we have to bring a pack n play? How did it work traveling with the carseat from airport to hotel to ship? I have so many questions but unsure if it would be worth bringing her!! The two ships we are looking at are Allure of the Seas out of Miami or Liberty of the Seas out of Fort Lauderdale
  11. We also cut back on interactions and didn't really leave the house for like two or three days before our cruise.
  12. We tipped our porter as well as our stateroom attendant. We have also tipped some bartenders who went above and beyond (had our drinks ready when we go there, knew us by name, etc). Tipping amount is really up to you. Give whatever you are comfortable with. I believe at Guest Services they have envelopes where you can write their name and their job title to make sure that tip goes directly to them.
  13. You can always cancel and rebuy too if the price goes down
  14. Matt (I think) has said, it's better to pay attention to the dollar amount than the certain percentages.
  15. If you download the app, you will have your Seapass card there as well! Much handier than printing papers to carry around (in my opinion)! Most of the time, the crew members will just ask for your room number. When paying for something, your picture shows up so you can't give a "fake" or different room number Also, your card is valid once you board the ship! 99.9% of the time, the rooms are ready at 2. The captain will make announcements about that during embarkation.
  16. Just a little vent session (I apologize). This is why I like/need to be "in charge" of vacation planning . First, I should be grateful that my in-laws are paying for us to go on a family cruise this September, but I am running into some issues!! My in-laws are using a travel agent so I reached out to her because our cruise wasn't showing in our planner. When I entered the booking ID, it was saying not found (or something like that). The agent looked into it and said I have two C&A numbers, one under my maiden name and one under my married name which is causing this issue. Since I was going on a cruise soon, she suggested that I see the C&A specialist on board. When I boarded Indy, I went to the C&A specialist who said I only have one number and the last name is current. I asked the specialist about why my September cruise isn't showing and she suggested I go see NextCruise. They tell me that the booking was cancelled (minutes after the confirmation email was sent saying we were booked)!! The other thing that I find odd is that our agent said we do not have any OBC because of the rate we were given (is something like this true). Since I had enough points saved on MyVegas, I cashed them in for a $100 OBC and forwarded that on to the agent. Long story short, I was told by the casino I could not redeem it. Flash forward to last night. I logged into the cruise planner and our cruise is now showing (thank God plus under a new booking ID). And, I was able to redeem the $100 OBC! Now, the only issue I am seeing involves My Time Dinning. This is the first time I am seeing this message when I go to reserve a spot for My Time dinning. Could this be because my in-laws booked everything for us (well through a travel agent)? Has anyone else seen anything like this? The original booking email says traditional dinning at 8 (but keep in mind, that booking ID is no longer valid).
  17. Your best bet is to look at past cruise compasses to at least get an idea of what each day/night might entail. I know when we did Mariner 2 years ago, they had an 80s party on Royal Promenade
  18. For those who were following along, we had bottled water on board!
  19. Also, check out Matt's videos on his YouTube channel! He give great tips and ideas for things to do that cost extra and those that are free! You kids (and you and your parents) will not be bored at all!
  20. That's exactly what I did with my case before I brought it on the ship! 1000% recommend doing this with any case before going in or near water.
  21. I ordered this for our cruise and it worked great ( have an android and the pictures were clear as day): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNNWW8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  22. If Indy has those, I'd be set! Thanks everyone! I'll have to wait and see (and possibly confirm when we're on board )
  23. I need to start off by saying I have the best in-laws ever! Two years ago after my husband and I came back from our honeymoon, we raved about our cruise and RC! Because of this, they wanted to book a family cruise! Well rona had other plans....until now! To make a very long story short, my in-laws canceled the beach house and booked a 4 day cruise on Independence for September this year through a travel agent. My husband got the confirmation email with the booking ID and when I looked in our cruise planner the cruise is not showing. When I went to link a cruise it originally showed, but now it doesn't and it's saying the reservation number is incorrect. I voiced this issue to my in-laws and they are going to reach out to the travel agent tomorrow. Has this happened to anyone before or can any travel agent help as to why this is happening? Appreciate the help!
  24. Thank you! I'm more concerned about the water being "left open". I'm weird (and extra ) when it comes to water. Mainly during the night if I need a drink, I don't have to worry about something floating in there. I'll most likely bring my tumbler anyways (this time around we aren't buying any drink packages. We are just using our many OBCs)
