Guilty! First time cruiser and got excited every time I seen an email from Royal up to only be disappointed it was a cancellation as I would upgrade my stateroom as prices came down. Then had to sign back in and update my bids all over again. A few weeks ago at noon, bamn got the email that said my bid was accepted and I almost fell over. After reading all the stories, I felt it would never happen to me as a first time cruiser. Good luck! Hope u win a bid. 
Now if they can just come out with a sale for Deluxe drink pkg and Internet, I’d be a happy camper.

The main part of downtown Nassau had sidewalks, but as you venture away it gets a bit more sketchy - but I believe there are still sidewalks. We walked from Paradise Island to Nassau and over to Queens staircase and then back to downtown to the Pirates museum. No one bothered us, but there were a few areas I was scared.

Following as a first time cruiser. I’ve bought cover ups (mesh style) as well as spaghetti  strap full cover dresses. I will prob bring both in my beach bag so I don’t need to run and change. I ALWAYS over pack and am that girl at the airport moving things between bags (until I got my scale). 
I’m also worried about excursions as mine has a natural pool as our last stop, so clearly we will be wet. I hope they have somewhere to change, as I don’t want to walk on the boat with wet marks on my shirt 😂

Bring your own. They do sell them onboard if you forget to pick one up before the cruise.

RC doesn’t provide.  They are for sale on the ship, but are cheaper on Amazon.

Thanks! Yes, I’ve definitely learned my lesson, and hope to still catch a decent price before we leave

Is there usually a Presidents Day sale? I’m in the same position, first time cruiser and was only looking at the email where it said 30% off. I was wondering why the RC rep said cheapest price was Black Friday! I looked and seen 30% and was like nah, that’s the same sale they keep sending me! Now it’s sooo expensive, and I see they make up their own pricing daily. I wish I found this message board sooner. 

I just won a JS bid today, super thrilled as its my first cruise. Really shocked TBH as there has only been 1 JS left for the last two weeks on a March Break Cruise, so surly it was a shot in the dark... Anyhow, I called RC and they said if another rooms becomes avail in the same category I can switch room numbers? I was under the impression these rooms were locked down once won? She also said I could Royalup on a Royalup win, and I would just pay the difference. Anyone know if that's true? 

Just purchased our deluxe drink package with the money we will be saving from our PCR tests….🙌🏼

I noticed the credit of $100 after I changed my room to larger balcony for $2 more! Whoot! Last time I called a few months ago they said it was only new reservations. Happy dance 💃

Great news, and long overdue. I will do a happy dance once they make the official announcement next week. We are booked March break, so figured the Gov would change it after just to make our lives stressful and deter travel.

Just for the future, I've had much better luck getting responses from Royal Caribbean when I direct message them on Facebook or Twitter.  I know not everyone uses these platforms, but if you do, give that a try next time.  

You might also check the Cruise Planner on the website. Sometimes the offerings are different. Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks, we sail out March 12th on Odyssey of the Seas - First cruise, so thought I was looking in the wrong area of the app. I will keep an eye out 🙂 Thanks 

No, they often come up prior to final payment these days (since final payment is at 30 days instead of 90 days).

There is a chat option, but it costs $1.99 per person, per day.
The chat option is likely cheaper, but a regular internet package gets you access to much more than just chat.
 

There is a chat option on RC that you don't need to purchase internet to use. However it is $1.99/day per person and even if you purchase the Voom internet for the parents, you'd still have to purchase the chat feature for them as well to communicate with the teens.
The way a 2 device internet package works is you'll create a single login and password and 2 devices will be allowed to be online at the same time. So once a third device tries to log in it will pop a message up asking if it's ok to knock off another device. So it may not work well for everyone to share only 2 devices because they would constantly have to log back in to check Facebook messages or Whatsapp or whatever messenger you are using on the wifi to stay in contact.
The TV does have a handful of channels you can watch without internet.

I was able to chat with someone from FFL Airport and got the fees. 
 
Are you flying out of FLL airport and planning to get tested there? 
Yes
