Where do you go onboard to buy them?

6 - need2cruz (Oasis)

We have been using them in the hospital after cesarean section for the past few years and have seen so much less nausea and vomiting after the surgeries. But just recently it has only been given to moms who are strictly bottle feeding. We were told they reduce milk supply. I have yet to see even one allergic reaction to them, though.

We've done the key card swap and it works fine for sleeping. The only thing it doesn't work for is if you want to do the onboard chat feature. When you send a message to someone, it will say it's coming from and to the wrong person. If you buy wifi and don't use on board chat, it won't be a problem. Or just know when you want to send your husband a chat message, send it to your son's friend, instead.

We go with bright colors, too. We have have bright orange and neon green. We are traveling w/ 6 adults and I would never bring a suitcase per person. We use packing cubes. I have the e-bag brand. Ive been using the same packing cubes for 16 years now. They have outlived all our suitcases. Everyone has their own color for the packing cubes. Three medium are the perfect size for most our stuff. Then, everything can fit into 3 suitcases and 6 backpacks. Unpacking is so easy with them. You can put different peoples things into the same suitcase and you know whose is whose by the color. It makes unpacking super easy as things stay in the packing cubes in the drawers onboard except for the things you want to hang. I'm not sure if you'll use an uber, but most trunks can barely fit 2 suitcases.

Put an adult into each of the 2 rooms you're booking. Put the 17 year old in with one adult and the 18 year old in the room with the other adult. Once you get on the ship ask for another room key at guest service and just have the boys sleep together in one room and the adults in the other. I have traveled with my teens and this works fine. Royal Caribbean really doesn't care who sleeps in which room. Just make sure the boys behave themselves.

We bring both. I keep the passport book locked in the room safe and carry the card with us. If you needed to fly home in an emergency, the cruise line is supposed to get the passport book out for you and leave it with the port authority for you. I personally don't want to carry my full book with me on excursions and at beaches and such.

On the last cruise I went on, we did not get our bags until after we went to dinner. We had used the hot tub and wanted to take a shower and change clothes before dinner, but alas had to go to dinner in our boarding clothes. We did go up and down the halls looking for them, but no luck with that. This was on Adventure, not a large ship.

Have they cruised Royal Caribbean before? Because they will have Crown and Anchor numbers that your travel agent or Royal Caribbean cruise rep can look up for you with their names and birthdays. I did add my in-laws to a cruise we were going on before. Yes, they will get their own reservation number but once they're linked to your reservation, you reserve things for the whole group, like dining, excursions, entertainment, check-in times, etc...

Thanks for posting this! I had no idea I should start checking 2 months before for my July Oasis cruise. I've never seen reservations come up that early.

On the Royal app. All the current ships you've sailed.

It doesn't have to be a major holiday to change it. I've cruised before over Valentines Day and that changed the Lobster night. Nonetheless, it's usually (but not always) night 6 on a 7 night cruise.

I noticed that the waterpark excursion is no longer available to purchase for our stop here in July. I know this is going to be part of Perfect Day Mexico in the future. I'm guessing they're closing soon for renovations? Does anyone know if this is the case? We were really looking forward to this excursion this summer.

We were on Adventure from Port Canaveral a few weeks ago. We got off the ship self assist very quickly. We had an 11:15AM flight. We got a Lyft (it was a Saturday and it was about $65). We actually got to the airport (MCO) too early to check the bags, lol. I think we were there about 7:45AM.

We've done this. If your people without passports are minors, and your one's w/ passports are the adults, you just all go through the birth certificate line together. On the other hand, at the airport we have separated and sent our teenagers all through the regular security line, while the adults who have precheck go in a separate line. You just meet up on the other side. But if you have minors and are leaving the ship, you need to go together.
