Johnny Rockets had a great cook to order breakfast!

We did this on the Radiance and we enjoyed seeing all the behind the scenes and the bridge too. Well worth the money for us. There is a lot that has to happen that everyone takes for granted to may the cruise perfect. Everyone should check it out once.

We did the tour on the Radiance last summer and it was so interesting to see all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. People don't realize the full extent of what happens to make cruising the awesome thing that it is.

I have used Go Shuttle many times and never had many problems.

I have AT&T and we get free calls from Mexico and Canada; everywhere else if we use our phone in port, then it is a $10/day charge. Just remember to put your phone back into airplane mode on the ship. We used WiFi calling with VOOM and texting worked also. To text someone on the ship they would have to have VOOM also unless you are on a ship with the Royal App (which I haven't had a chance to try yet).

On the Oasis, we ate breakfast there several times. On the Radiance however, there was no JR so we did the dining room and ordered off the menu.

We linked ours at the very beginning so that is probably the difference.

On our Alaska cruise, our TA linked our dining with two other couples. It showed on our Booking Confirmation-Guest Copy in the section of Guest Information (at the end of that section) it had Stateroom Dining with Booking ID: *******-*******

We like to use the main dining room for breakfast. We ordered off the menu and had great service too.

They can limit the $$ spend per day on each seapass you select - just go to guest services. We have done this for our Grandkids.

I got it on the Oasis for my older Grandson. There are 10 punches on the card. If you do the math, it made each specialty coffee about half price. It was a good deal for him as he only had the soda package.

You can get specialty coffees at Café Promenade and Park Café. If you have the deluxe drink package or the refreshment package they are included. You can get the coffee card (10 coffees) if you don't have the a package.

What I did on the Oasis was got the refreshment package for me and the soda package for my Granddaughter. With the refreshment package I was able to get all the specialty coffees that I wanted, all the bottle water that I wanted, soda, and several frozen N/A drinks. I did get the refreshment package on sale at $18/day so it was a win-win situation for us.

We did the all photo package on the Oasis in 2017. We took advantage of all the photo opts and especially on formal nights as we had all the family together and did family pictures. We got 150+ digital pictures. Well worth the money spent. We don't get it every time but I wanted updated family pics and was not disappointed.

We were on the Radiance in July 2018 for Alaska Cruise. We loved the ship. The only problem we had, was that the mattress was terrible! This is the only time in all our cruising that we had mattress issues.

I flew in from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic to Atlanta airport and had to go thru customs before continuing to my connecting flight. I think the only port in Florida that uses the Mobile Passport in Port Everglades.

I used my Mobile Passport app for the first time on Saturday when we arrived into Atlanta from Punta Cana. The line was crazy long and we got into the Mobile Passport line and in less than 10 minutes we were done! We would have been at least an hour in the regular line and probably would have missed our connecting flight.

Wow! I am jealous!!

I am so excited about it! We booked a Collette trip (thru my AAA travel agent). The trip includes airfare and they even pick us up at home to take us to the airport and take us back home. Even night we go on the Northern Lights hunt!!

I hope you have a good outcome on your hubby's health. Mine had what they call a widow-maker so to say that we were extremely lucky doesn't even touch it. We haven't retired yet so we can only fit so many trips in right now. We have a 5-6 years more to go; however, we need to do more now while we have more income.

I remember all too well on having a daughter getting married and draining the checking account. Try to plan ahead to avoid the last minute stuff as I think the last three days before the wedding were the most stressful for us.

Since my hubby had a heart attack this past June (4 weeks before our Alaska Bucket List Cruise/Land Tour), we have decided to vacay a little sooner rather than later (having went thru that changes your prospective to things). Here are ours: February 2-9 2019: Hard Rock All Inclusive Punta Cana July 13-20 2019: Condo in Orange Beach (with Family) November 17-24 2019: NCL Cruise out of New Orleans (with Family) Jan 30 thru Feb 6 2020: Magical Northern Lights Tour in Iceland (another Bucket List Item)

Sweet savings! We will be on NCL in November and their UBP is $99/day or the Beer & Wine Package is $65/day. We are port intensive and will have the Grands with us so decided to just pay as we go.

I have a NCL cruise booked for November and I thought the same thing. My NCL cruise summary is easy to use and has everything there. RCL should go check out "the Other Guys!"
