Do they? Yes, but you'll get a terrible exchange rate. Better to just use your credit card.

20-year old jumps overboard on Liberty
smokeybandit replied to kadmgs's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
When it happens on a balcony it seems like it's usually someone screwing around, like trying to get to another balcony. -
They cancelled our reservation and didn’t tell us……😡🤬😡
smokeybandit replied to KimZ's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It sure sucks. I don't envy your situation. I've learned to scour over every cruise invoice the second I get it looking for anything out of place. -
Heart and Watchlist is active
smokeybandit replied to Ampurp85's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
They added the ability to set the number of guests. I wish they'd let you tie it into a current booking to show a true price difference. -
I wonder if it's one of those great cruise planner mysteries and that anyone trying to book it is getting the same error.

Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos
smokeybandit replied to Canada Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It's a solid seabed, but had no issue walking in bare feet. It's not sharp and very few sudden drops. -
I'm glad they are starting to offer it in the cruise planner. The fact you have to call to book it is archaic.
-
And that's just the direct transfer? Not one of those "Let's go kill time for a couple hours before we take you to the airport" tours? Not showing for my FLL cruise next March. Then again FLL is the least likely place I'd use their transportation.

I didn't even realize you could book cruise transportation in the planner.

Departure Details
smokeybandit replied to CruisePointsCollector's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Any post-cruise, cruise-sponsored transportation (excursion or just airport transfer) will have a pre-determined departure time. -
Don't over think it. You'll have a good time.

onboard credit from the credit card
smokeybandit replied to Veronica Michelle's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I thought the credit card OBC was one of the few that would get refunded if it doesn't get used. -
Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos
smokeybandit replied to Canada Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We had Grand Turk and DR back to back last month. I had never been to either. For the purposes of included activities right off the ship, I'd pick Grand Turk over DR. -
That works for your room steward, but not the others that you'll likely never see.

Your auto gratuity goes to a lot more than just your MDR staff.

Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos

I don't recall the name or the price, but I definitely recall the wonderful aroma of jerk chicken right around the spot where there's inflatable equipment. -
"Narration" of Hubbard Glacier on Radiance OTS
smokeybandit replied to Steve Rizzi's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There are reports that Radiance is having propulsion issues on its way to Vancouver. -
Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos
smokeybandit replied to Canada Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Most definitely. You walk through a duty free shop (just like anywhere else I guess) then walk through a town-like setup with your typical shops and a Margaritaville (though the MC there got annoying). Then there's both a pool and beach (with bare foot walkable sea bed and several different kinds of fish). Then along the beach there are local vendors of typical stuff plus food/beverages. -
Grand Turk,Turks & Caicos
smokeybandit replied to Canada Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The shops/bars/beach will be open to you even though it's owned by Carnival. Just note that while there are free beach chairs, they're set back from the beach (you'll see them behind some ropes from your view from the ship when you dock). Beach access itself is free. -
They are hoping to open a 35 foot channel this week, but that'll be for ships stuck in the harbor to get out. Then they'll close it again to get everything else cleared to go back to regular ops by the end of May.

Short cruises from Galveston in 2026
smokeybandit replied to BB1's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
There are already some 4/5 nighters on Mariner and Allure listed. But only a few. -
Maybe that Grand Turk port schedule wasn't just for contingencies.

Well, I was wrong about June. RC just started canceling June stops at Labadee.
