I would watch it. Especially if it was heavily focused on the individual drinks and less on the bars.

Why not have a button that allows a custom amount to be entered to cover the unforeseen?

Smart idea. I’ll see about adding that.

This might be a dumb question, but we can’t find an excursion on St. Thomas that has everything we want to do. We are thinking about starting out with a shuttle to Magens Bay, then shuttle back and take the Skyride, then go to the pirate treasure museum. Is it safe to go on our own in St. Thomas or would you recommend sticking with a sanctioned tour?

I would be interested too.  Our next cruise is in 2 weeks and it's our experimental "go without any drink packages" for our Back-to-Back. I have an Android phone.

I should have it finished in a day or two and then I’ll post the APK to a Google drive and share the link. Your phone might need you to accept that it’s not from the Google Play Store.

That is a really cool idea.  Once you have it completed, would you be able to share it?

I could share it. I’m just working out one pesky bug. Do you have an iPhone or Android. It’s easier to share as android, but it can be done with an iPhone, but you’d need a Thunkable account

If anyone is interested. I thought of the idea last night and here is what I have so far. I know it’s rough so far. When the amount hits the daily amount I paid for the drink package the amount font turns from red to green

Let me start by saying I have OCD and I know my idea is kinda stupid and a waste of time, but I’m retired and have a lot of free time. 
I purchased the deluxe drink package, but my wife doesn’t think we will get our money’s worth out of it, but I do. Just because of my own curiosity I’m making an app for my phone (just for me and my phone, not to publish the app) I am making the app to keep track of our drinks. 
The app has buttons such as cocktail, beer, wine, soda, juice, and so on. When I push, let’s say the cocktail button $13 is displayed. Any other button such as soda will add $3.50 to the running total. 
I’m stuck because I got most of the drink prices from the Royal Caribbean app but there are a few I don’t have. I know the prices such as wine varies by the glass so I’m averaging it out. Here is a list  of what I don’t have prices for. If anyone has recently been on a cruise and know a ballpark cost for the following drinks, I would appreciate the answer:

Johnny Rocket Milkshake

Mocha from cafe Promenade

bottle of water

sparkling water

smoothie from the spa

amd coffee with liquor 

thanks

Do most ships have tribute bands or only certain ships or classes of ships? I’ve seen tribute bands in some of the old cruise compasses but not all.

We are going on the Harmony of the Seas in August. I just purchased the deluxe drink package for the wife and myself and it covers cocktails up to $13 (which is the cost of most cocktails). I’m worried with supply chain problems, the price of cocktails on the ship will increase between now and our sailing to more than $13 a cocktail. If the price increase to let’s say $14 or $15 dollars a cocktail, will the limit on the drink package increase to cover the difference or will we have to pay extra for the drinks if the price per drink is increased?

Who has been to the pirate treasure museum on St. Thomas and what did you think of it? Was it worth it?

I was excited to read in Matt’s blog today about the cruise planner sale. I’ve been on the fence about getting the deluxe drink package and when I saw the cruise planner sale, I decided to pull the trigger and get the deluxe drink package. I went to my cruise planner and the deluxe drink package is on sale for $7 more per person, per day than it was yesterday before the sale. I guess I waited too long and I won’t be getting the deluxe drink package.

There is a ton of excursions for St Kitts on our sailing in August. We already book ours.

It’s still awhile until our sailing (126 days) so we don’t know what speciality restaurants if any we will dine at, but I did see the bar menu at Wonderland and was intrigued with some of their drinks. Is it possible to go to the wonderland bar just to get a drink if you don’t dine in the restaurant?

I wonder if that's something you could get at the Starbucks.  Only thing is with Starbucks, there is the additional cost.  

Thank you for the response. I was hoping to be able to get cold brew with the deluxe drink package

Does the cafe promenade on Harmony serve cold brew coffee?

Hello,

my wife and I haven’t been on a cruise since 2006 and it wasn’t on Royal Caribbean. I have what might be a stupid question, but here it is. I read you don’t get your sea pass card right away when you get on board. How do you get your sea pass card? Does everyone have to wait in line at guest services or is there another method?

What is the electrical outlet situation (Harmony of the Seas, ocean view balcony). I have a C-pap machine, rechargeable hearing aids that need to be plugged in and we’ll have two cell phones. I already filled out a special medical needs form with Royal Caribbean, but I haven’t heard back yet. 

@AshleyDillothank you for the reply

Hello I have a question regarding today’s YouTube video from Matt. I am glad to hear about the chat feature. My question is. My wife is getting the surf and stream package, but I don’t need internet, but I want to communicate with her so I will get the chat feature. Is the chat feature included in her surf and stream or will she have to get the chat feature separately?

Also, will she be able to FaceTime the grandkids with the surf and stream feature or does it take up too much data or is the data too slow?

Thank you in advance.

@JohnK6404Thank You, you've been so helpful. 

I heard sometimes there are two ships at Cococay on the same day and sometimes there are only one ship on that certain day. We will be on Cococay on August 22, 2022. Is there a way to find out how many ships will be there on that day?
