Patchy

Unfortunately no, not on Harmony. I spent an afternoon with my then 7-year-old niece on Oasis 5 years ago doing this. I'm such a good uncle. 🤣

The BBC!!!  Delicious!!!!
It is Baileys, Banana liquor, Rum, and Pina colada mix.  Pool side will put in a fresh banana too sometimes.

Goombay smash!   Also the “old” rum punch!   (There is apparently some new Rum Punch recipe at Royal that I don’t like as much)

Oh, so you drink Kraken, not snort it.  I was just about to notify the administrator of illegal activity going on in here.  LOL
My wife really like many rum drinks, she's going to have to try it on our next cruise in:

Children are considered children as long as they are under 12. So, I believe the same age you would pay full fare price is the same age the $10 cover charge becomes full price.

Goombay Smash was my hubby’s new favorite cruise drink!!

Many Years ago (More than I care to mention!)  we missed a port in Cozumel.  The captain actually announced over the intercom that we had a choice.  We could Dock in Cozumel as planned or we could skip it and continue on our Cruise.  He explained that he received a report that the Drug cartel had just killed 7 political figures in the streets and it is currently under military control.  I kid you not,  Some people were upset that the majority of us chose not to dock there.

I noticed a few complaints on these board regarding the service they have received from RCL. And while I am the first to say they aren’t perfect I thought I would share a couple of examples of where they have gone the extra mile to make things right when they have gone wrong. In each case we received service which was above and beyond what we expected. In each case we just let them know there was an issue and never expected anything in compensation. 
My advice. If there is an issue let them know. Be nice and polite. Remember every staff member wants to make your cruise  enjoyable and whatever went wrong it either wasn’t the staff members fault or if it was a mistake on their part they do it on purpose.
An issue with air-conditioning (we think)
We were in a room that had a bit of an issue with the air-conditioned. We mentioned it to our stateroom attendant who apologised and got maintenance to look at it. It took them a couple of days to fix it but eventually got it working. We thought nothing of it and forgot about it.
On our last day we got a letter in our state room saying a 30% refund had been credited to our credit card. They didn’t mention what it was for hence we ‘think’ it was due to the air-conditioner.
Cancelled excursion due to weather.
We were on an Alaskan cruise and had saved up to an excursion of a lifetime which included a helicopter ride to a glacier and then a bobsled ride. Unfortunately there was low cloud cover most of the morning so the helicopters couldn’t fly. This certainly wasn’t in RCL control but they offered us a more expensive excursion which also included a helicopter flight later in the day. Unfortunately this also got cancelled as the weather hadn’t lifted. We thought that was the end of it and resigned to not being able to take the trip. About an hour later we got a call on our cellphone only to tell us that they had one spare space on a flight leaving in 30 minutes which they guaranteed would fly. While it meant I couldn’t go as there was only one seat my wife had an amazing trip. What I was impressed with is they took the time t to ring us and see if we wanted the spare seat. They didn’t have to do that.
No sugar free soda in Coke Freestyle
We were on a cruise where they didn’t have any sugar free soda on the ship. We mentioned we couldn’t find diet free soda to one of the staff in the Windjammer out of passing. Before we know it a manager came and gave us bottles of diet coke and let us know we could go to any bar and ask for free diet soda.
We thought that was the end of it… then when we got back to our room that afternoon there was a plate of cookies waiting for us with a little note. Then every day or so another plate of cookies in our stateroom
Issue with on board credit
We made a booking for an upcoming cruise and there was a bit of an issue with the onboard credit. The indicated we would receive $400 when in fact we received $50. A quick email to RCL and not only did they fix the mistake but they added a whole $400 making it $450 onboard credit.
 
 

Suck it up, Buttercup.  Book the cruise! 😄

Turns out on Anthem that Diamond vouchers only get you 50% off of a milkshake at Johnny Rockets Express.  Seems like a raw deal to me.   

Had someone on the wife's FB group notice that the Jr Suite on Grandeur in July is less expensive than a Balcony by just under $130pp. Had a Casino certificate from an earlier cruise that gave us a "Bonus Balcony" for that month so we called in to try it out. Sure enough the Royal Agent gave us the "downgraded" Jr Suite because the customer insisted on a cabin in a lower price range. 😃  She had to check with her supervisor as she could not believe it. Wonder what intern missed that one but works for me.😉

Oops, 1,200 of the 3,800 on Anthem 4/10/22 are kids age 17 and under.   Sorry for the mistype.  @FoxboroCruiser

@WAAAYTOOO, that’s spring break for ya!   

Anthem 4/10/22 has 3,800 passengers.  A whopping 1,800 of them are kids age 17 and under.

To clarify, there are 1,200 kids on Anthem not 1,800.   Sorry for the typo!   But it doesn’t change the spirit of the topic.

Okay, I'm just relieved that this is direction this thread is headed in...

Back in the 90's the company I worked for chartered a ship and I was able to get invited.   
Back in the 90's you were able to bring on just about anything on a cruise.  We stopped and bought a bunch of beer and wine to sail with.  We plopped it on the x-ray conveyor belt and security gave us an odd look.  They scanned it and off we went with our heavy haul of liquids.  Then we found out the charter was open bar, all bars.  Doh! 

I advocate that people abide by the policies and limit to two bottles per stateroom.   If you want more, just buy a bottle or glass in the MDR or a restaurant.   It’s not all that expensive. The more we all do to follow Royal’s policies, the better off we all are.   

I don’t see why not. It’s essentially same redemption rules as a drink package, which does cover milk shakes

I’m with you all; I don’t see the DBP in my future now that hubby and I are Diamond.  Especially with the two bottles of wine we can bring onboard per stateroom… and even more especially because now that my kids are getting older and we span two staterooms, we can take a total of 4 bottles onboard.   🥳
