I had a big time at Coco Beach land cabanas (last weekend), there was two attendants for us (party of 4) and since my mom is a senior we left her in the cabana while we was in the water park and they took care of her, they came to the cabana every 20 minutes or so. Mom asked for coconut water and they surprise her with FRESH coconut water (Water inside the coconut). They did an AMAZING service! So I gave them $100 to each attendant ($200 total). Giving tip is sugestive based on what you think is a great service, for me, the service start on the "welcome to your cabana"! And remembering that those attendants were without job for long time.

Embarkation*: It was easy and fast! Port Canaveral is very organized! Disembarkation*: Easy, Easy, very easy!! I was at my home at noon (Port Canaveral to Miami). Parking: Use the Royal Caribbean parking, it worth it! Food and Dinning: Main Dining Room – I was there 2 nights, good food but could be better. Most of the time the food was cold… and the quality doesn’t meet my expectation (including the formal night). Lunch at Windjammer: Horrible! And when I say “horrible” it’s mean that also two tables next to us agreed that this lunch wasn’t great at all. Breakfast at Windjammer: Was ok! We did breakfast two days at Windjammer. Best dinner at the Ship: Giovanni’s table, we ended paying for this at the cruise since the Main Dining Room didn’t meet our expectation. And this dinner was amazing! Best breakfast at the Ship: Main Dining Room using The Key program breakfast on disembarkation day. Best lunch: Coco Beach Club! Some people say that doesn’t worth it (day pass) ... CocoCay – Beach Club – Land Cabana: This was the best trip experience ever! AMAZING QUALITY FOOD! AMAZING SERVICE! 5 stars! I would say paying up to $100 for the day pass and AMAZING lunch, it worth it! And I wound't pay more than $999 for the land cabana. I was lucky, I got cabana #22 with the best view! Most of the Cabana views is the Overwater cabana... CocoCay WaterPark: We had the tickets and ended doing at "not show" this time since we feel so comfortable at the Beach Club. (Yes, royal Caribbean refunded the money for the Water Park). I'll try the water park at my next cruise this month. The Key Program: Priority boarding is a plus for me… I was on the ship with my first drink on hand at 11:30am The Welcome Lunch – Was ok… but the Filet Mignon was great! Disembarkations Breakfast – AMAZING but would be better if the food is a bit hot… was cold… but was good! Flow Rider Private Session: It worth it, I literally had the flow rider for me only I didn’t use room service There’s NOT priority sitting at the shows (I guess it’s due COVID protocols or something) Internet work nice in the Ship and at CocoCay Lesson Learned: I NEED to get the Unlimited Dinning Package for my next cruise, I got the three days dining package because the unlimited is sold out but I'll keep an eye, hoping to grab it! I'll always get The Key if the cost is $30.00 or less. Deluxe Drink Package: I wound't pay more than $57.00 Ask me whatever you need, let's see if I can help you. *I had “The Key” and it worth it. Sorry for any grammar issues, English is my second language. My next Cruise is Harmony of the Seas - December 26th

Only the refreshment package comes down from 23 to 17. Deluxe beverage package it's 64 and I bought it at 53 (I think on labor day sales)

Me too!

Looks like they cancelled Nassau for my November 26th cruise.

Wow! Glad I didn't cancel when I received the last email about the changes eliminating MDR Chops Lunch. Plus they'll keep the room service included! Deal!

Royal Caribbean group on FB. My Nov 26th cruise hasn't changed yet...

Nice, so I would expect they cancel Nassau for November 26th cruise as well. I honestly don't like the excursions for that day at Nassau. Nassau is not receiving good reviews in the Shipmate app these days.

Looks like they cancelled Nassau on the November 19th cruise (Independence of the Seas). So, keep an eye to your itinerary, Nassau may be cancelled as well. I honestly prefer they cancel Nassau for my November 26th cruise.

Thanks @KristiZ! I'm also considering option B!

Hi all! Another quick questions, looking for recommendations regarding this same topic: New Year’s Eve cruise. I'm looking to buy the Unlimited Dining Package, but I would like to have a speciality dinner experience on New Year’s Eve (December 31) - Family Tradition Chops Grill is the only specialty restaurant offering "Chops Grille Holiday Dinner" for $99.99. So, my questions are: 1 - If I bought unlimited dining package.... Can I have access to "Chops Grille Holiday Dinner"? I guess the answer is NO. So, if no... see my second question. 2 - What option you think should worth more for the money (We're 4 people): A. Buy unlimited dining package B. Buy 3 day dining package + Chops Grille Holiday Dinner C. MDR is a must go for Holiday Dinner (I saw that I can order Chops Grille menu from the MDR)

The only difference from yesterday’s prices is the banner at the top that announce the “deals” and few cococay passes are 10 off

Wow!!!

Thanks @tonyfsu21! Looks like we made a great choice!

On September's sale I got Coco Beach Club Landside Cabanas for $599.00 and Thrill Waterpark for 61.99.

Deluxe Drink Package and The Key appear cheaper on my cruise planner today. Sailing date: 12/26/2021 - Harmony OTS Yesterday's prices: The Key - $29.99/day Deluxe Beverage Package - $66.99/day before gratuities Today's prices: The Key - $27.99/day Deluxe Beverage Package - $53/day before gratuities I think the Deluxe Drink Package has a good value today (I bought it today), if comes cheaper I can cancel and buy it again. The Key - At $27.99 I don't think it worth it (I bought it today as well) but looking forward to cancel if doesn't comes down close to $22.99.

Hi All, just an update here! My Deluxe drink packages comes down today to $53 Adult per day! Total prior discount: $1172.92 (2 adults) New total: $875.76 (2 adults)

New booking - State of residency: FL

I have used that code on my next two cruises (November 26th and December 26th). It's a $50.00 discount code that will be reflected at checkout.

Thanks @Doak! Yes, on Harmony the deluxe drink package comes to $1172.92 (2 adults) I think it should goes down on black Friday weekend. Oasis was my first choice because I live closer to Miami area but I'm saving $400 by driving 1.5 hours to port Canaveral to get on the Harmony.

Thanks @Ampurp85, Yes that what I did... I booked on today's sale! And for the cruise planner I enter every day to see what's changed..... @Jverge For my cruise at the end of November I remember I paid $2,492.92 at the beginning of August... and couple weeks later (mid-September) I called to do repricing to 1,643.92. - 4 adults - 2 spacious ocean view balcony. But as @Ampurp85 said about premium pricing on Harmony... maybe I won't have similar luck but I would definitely keep an eye for repricing December's cruise as well.

Thanks @Big Tule! I made reservation already! Sailing from Port Canaveral instead Miami. Harmony of the Seas instead Oasis of the Seas.

Wow nice answer! Thanks @Pattycruise! Yes, I'm planning to do 2 balcony stateroom. I guess I should reserve the staterooms now... and then get repricing if the price does down.

I’m looking for suggestions about planning my next family cruise: Oasis of the seas – from Miami – Dec 26 – Jan 2 Reserving an interior balcony (Boardwalk or Central Park View balcony) the total price is close to $7,000 including tips and taxes. My two questions are for those that had have similar the experience, New Year's Eve Cruise. 1 – Does it worth the money celebrate New Year’s Eve on a cruise? 2 – Drink Package: How many you paid in a 7-night cruise for Drink Package? I have another cruise 3 night cruise on November – and I paid (drink package) 57/night but in a 7 night cruise I think it’s a bit expensive for 4 people. Plus... the internet, if I'm doing the math correctly... I guess the total should be close to the 9k? for 4 people? Should I wait black Friday or something like that?
