Glad I found this message board. Gonna read as much as I can before our cruise. I do have some questions.
We're going on the Independence of the Seas
1) I know there's the main dining room and the buffet and those are included in the price. What about the other restaurants like the Japanese, Chinese , Cafe Promenade, cupcakes, and pizza? Is that included? For those places are reservations not needed? Just show up?
2) I see the cruise package I booked, through a conference, that gratuities of $72 was charged. So do I still need to tip onboard in the dining room and when getting drinks?
3) I'm a big water drinker. Will getting bottled water, or filling up a bottle be easy?
Thank you for your time!
