We are finally leaving on Symphony tomorrow! So excited! question, we have UDP and I wonder for sea days on specialty restaurants, do we need reservations in advance? I know for dinner they are required but wasn’t sure for lunch.

Hi guys! I want to be respectful of the rules so I bought Coola sunscreen which apparently is all you can be friendly, but it doesn’t say biodegradable in these exact words. It does say “Reef friendly”, and I saw someone saying here would be the same thing… Can anyone confirm that? Is Coola reef friendly acceptable for the shore excursions?

Does anyone know if we can have that at Coco Beach Club? We are not in the cabanas, but we would like to try that at some point as a snack… does anyone know if we have to get out of the beach club and grab it or they can bring it to us?

Hi guys! 13 days for Symphony! Yay! Question, we have unlimited dining and deluxe beverage package, but we would like to get a snack and a milkshake to enjoy at our balcony and just relax… Is possible to get Johnny to go? If yes, do I need a reservation for that or just let the hostess know when I get to the door? thank you!

Thank you for the information, I didn’t know that was the case! I’m very sorry! hopefully you can find some other fun activities or maybe it will go back into the cruise planner before sailing!

I know it’s your own choice to give your kids vaccine or not. In case you’re open to it, J&J is one dose only, 14 days prior to sailing, and you can book the Atlantis tour without RC (per my understanding). Again, not telling you to do anything, but just in case this is an option for you.

I was looking at some of Matt videos and at some point he says “ask for how many entrees, appetizers or deserts you want, try everything you’re on vacation!” I’m wondering if that rule applies only to MD or to specialty dining as well (if you have unlimited dining plan). Or maybe in the past you could get more than one entree in a specialty restaurant on the unlimited dining plan and now you can’t anymore? Sometimes I see more interesting entrees than I see appetizers (just personal taste sometimes )…

@AshleyDillo oh good to know! Thanks for the info! For that I have to call Royal directly right?

If I re book my cruise (same one) with a lower rate, do I lose the dining and beverage deal I got already? Cause the dining deal was a really good one!

Hi guys! Following this topic, we sail Symphony Dec 4th. Same situation here hubby doesn’t drink, but I do! It’s still possible to call Royal and get a Alcohol package mixed with a Beverage package? Also did anyone had problems calling Royal? My call have been dropped and never connect.

@AshleyDillo thank you! That’s good to know for other menus as well!

Hi! 38 days to go for our first cruise ever! I was checking Hooked menu (we love love seafood!) and saw they have “Main Catches” section. Is that covered by UDP or that is a separate charge type of thing? Thank you so much everyone for all the topics and answers I’ve learn so much from all of you here and I’m more confident we will have a unforgettable experience! Thank you Matt for all the hard work you do making this blog happen!
