Disney prices vs Royal Caribbean prices
smokeybandit replied to CruisingSteve's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
People are crazy enough to pay those prices just to wear some mouse ears. Can't fault Disney for the extreme pricing if people are willing to pay for it. -
Dining room dress code for kids
smokeybandit replied to Theresak1021's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
The only true dress code RC has for MDR is no bare feet and no tank tops. Anything else is a suggestion. Main Dining Room/Specialty Dining Venues Bare feet are not allowed at any time in any venue and tank tops are not permitted in the Main Dining Room or Specialty Dining venues for dinner. -
Room attended preference morning or night? And why?
smokeybandit replied to Obie2's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I would guess most people pick mornings so he was happy to have an evening slot to use. -
Agreed. I haven't had a price drop for any booked or watched cruises in over a year.

If you're on the same reservation, just go in and just ask forgiveness later in the unlikely chance someone calls you out.

Food in suite on embarkation day
smokeybandit replied to Avatar133's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
One or more of: chocolate covered strawberries, cheese plate, fruit plate. It's possible one or more could show up at any time throughout the cruise, too. I'm still mad they did away with the cookies. I haven't seen the sushi plate since the restart, either. -
No price changes for the 7 cruises I'm got watch listed.

Looks like Serenade from Amsterdam to Miami, Aug 19, 2024.

Agreed. But your scenario was essentially non-USA to USA to USA. The OP's scenario is non-USA to USA to non-USA then again to USA. OP will have to face customs in NY and again in Miami.

I did this same path in March. There were no immigration stops in PR (after Labadee) or USVI (after St Maarten).

Puerto Rico is a US Territory so mainland USA to PR is considered a domestic flight.

smokeybandit replied to Obie2's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I would prefer morning since that's the most predictable part of our day. We know we'll be out of the cabin between breakfast and lunch. Afternoons and evenings vary more. -
I lived in that area for 15 years. Can't say I saw too many people with a chill attitude. Maybe in Annapolis.

James Van Fleet no longer with RC

I doubt you even notice it. -
If your carrier is charging for Wifi calling, you need a new provider.

Place a bid as soon as you want to.

You get all the onboard benefits of the new room category, just not the booking benefits (aka, points).

While it's still not worth it, it's now 1GB of data.

Update: Bitten by Air2Sea. They put me in economy for one leg despite the confirmation email saying business class for that leg and being charged a full business class fare for an economy seat. That's just how it can work for flights with connections. This rather key detail isn't shown on the website. I cancelled. That leaves a very sour taste in my mouth. The A2S agent was nice and tried to help me out (despite the usual barely being able to hear him, I think they still use rotary phones there). But, oh well.
