If they are at least age 13, yes

The ships are built to not feel crowded.

On many phones, airplane mode turns off wifi. People just have to turn wifi back on while in airplane mode.

Make it a service fee that's baked into the cruise fare and be done with it.

Things I learned after my cruise
smokeybandit replied to ScottD's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
#4 is a lesson for all families cruising. -
Anyone been to Gulhomar's liquor store? Is it really deserving of the hype?
-
Can she do all the line maintenance by herself or with your help? That's probably the biggest hinderance. Second would be keeping the TPN bags chilled, but I'm sure you could work with RC on that.

Flights to London after Disembarking from Haifa
smokeybandit replied to gr8travels's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Remember airport security in Israel is a lot more complex than other places, so factor in more buffer time. -
The wine packages are long gone.

But on the flip side, the economic impact to Turkey, especially to local vendors, is more important than ever right now.

A cocktail geek walks into a cruise-ship bar....
smokeybandit replied to SeaSomm's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It's going to vary so much even sailing to sailing as bartenders get rotated around. Just visit each of the bars until you find a bartender who mixes something the way you like it. -

To bring or not to bring on an excursion
smokeybandit replied to Lew Rosengrant's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It's a very Hatfield vs. McCoy question. Half will say "always take it with you" and half will say "always leave it in your safe" -
Galveston - "In Texas Waters" Liquor Brands?
smokeybandit replied to SPS's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Last time I sailed out of Galveston, the "best" whiskey was Jack Daniels. -
Pre-purchasing internet as a Diamond
smokeybandit replied to Brando95's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
But it's an onboard perk, not a pre-cruise perk. -
I don't care for all the bells and whistles on the bigger ships. Though I do like the promenade concept and Playmakers is the first specialty dining place I've ever liked. But I wouldn't not book a smaller ship because they lack those things. Though we'll see how things go next year on Rhapsody since it'll be my first Vision class cruise.

We take a taxi to the beaches at South Friar's Bay and find one of the hole in the wall beach bars.

I've always felt the portion size for most entrees to be quite appropriate. And there are rumors that they're even smaller now.
-
Though on Oasis ships, with beer and wine available for 12 hours during the day, it might as well be an included drink package.

By now you should be able to build a house with all your blocks. -
Pre-purchasing internet as a Diamond
smokeybandit replied to Brando95's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The pre-purchased internet package will always be a better value than your diamond credit since the on board internet price is so much more expensive than a pre-purchase. -
Food: 30,000 Meals p/d and $1M budget p/w
smokeybandit replied to SteveK's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I hope they use coupons with that kind of grocery bill. -
Ship ZOOM Internet Package vs AT&T Cruise Package
smokeybandit replied to JLMP's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
You don't want the ATT cruise package. Even if you think you want it, you don't want it. The cost may look attractive compared to Voom but it's loaded with pitfalls. -
