If we plan to carry off our luggage on the morning of debarkation at Port Canaveral what is a reasonable time to schedule pick up at the port? Want to spend day at Disney and make the most of it. Also, if we want to grab breakfast in the morning how early would something be open? Sailing Mariner late May, 2023 Thanks

have been looking for Beer or Wine tasting times on our sailing, but I have not seen any mention of alcohol tasting in past cruise compass. Has anyone done a tasting on their last cruise?

We purchased the Ultimate Dining Package for our upcoming trip in May 2023 on the Mariner of the Seas. We started listening to Matt's old Royal Caribbean Blog podcast episode 274, Izumi Japanese Specialty Restaurant. In that podcast, Matt says you can get sushi during Hibachi. Can the sushi be paid for under the Ultimate Dining Package? Thanks

Thank You

We purchased the Ultimate Dining Package for our upcoming trip in May 2023 on the Mariner of the Seas. We did this partly because we wanted to eat sushi which can be difficult to get good sushi in the mid-west. However, we were worried that we might not get reservations for Izumi for as many nights as we would like. Then we start reviewing Matt's old Royal Caribbean Blog podcast episode 274 Izumi Japanese Specialty Restaurant. In that podcast, Matt says you can get the Izumi menu as take-out or sit at the sushi bar without reservations. This Podcast was BC "Before Covid" and might have changed if anyone had gotten take-out from the Izumi menu using the Ultimate Dining Package. If so, could you still have reservations for another specialty Restaurant that evening? As Always Thats for your help

So what speciality dining restaurants are open for lunch on boarding day?

We are doing a Six Day Mariner Of The Sea in June 2022 and have purchase of Unlimited Dining Package which includes Unlimited visits to speciality dining restaurants every night of your sailing and lunch on sea days. For restaurants with a la carte pricing, you’ll receive a $20 food credit, which can only be used once a day For ships with this venue, Izumi Sushi is a prix fixe menu or $34.99 food credit. The Question we had a couple Questions Can we use our la carte 20 food credit for Izumi Sushi? Can we use our la carte 20 food credit for Johnny Rockets, Playmakers, The Bamboo Room, Ben & Jerry? Thanks

I know Royal Caribbean sometime show first-run movies on their Ships, we are sailing on Harmony of the Seas in Late May. I saw in a Harmony of the Seas Cruise Compass on April 14, 2019, that had Ralph breaks the Internet a Disney movie what would be the odds that they would be showing Avengers: Endgame. Thanks

Will the cruise planner allow you to book a 3 Dining Package and 2 Dining Package to get to a 5 Dining Package what is the advantages or disadvantages of this plan.

Just a update I just call Royal Caribbean about the 4 & 5 Dining Packages they said there were discontinued. I ask if it was just for my cruise or for all cruises they said all cruises. Has anyone seen 4 & 5 Dining Packages offered on there cruise planner just curious. Will the cruise planner allow you to book a 3 Dining Package and 2 Dining Package to get to a 5 Dining Package what is the advangtes or disadvangtes of this plan.

I heard from somewhere that Royal will no longer have DreamWorks Characters is this true, when is it going to stop, and what are they going to replace them. It too bad they're not Disney Charters but there was something and our family was looking forward to meeting them.

Booked Sept 2018. Harmony of the Seas out of Port Canaveral May 26-June 2nd. Category 7D ocean view balcony. Travel agent quoted $6532. Checked Black Friday sales and price had dropped to $5961. On a whim looked a the website again and price is down to $5221. After pointing this out to travel agent both times we were able to get lower fare (these are all still refundable fares). A price drop of 20%? Is there something we don't know about this sailing or ship? Thinking we should keep checking prices at least until final payment is due - how does price dropping affect the TA are we taking away from her bottom line?

Thank You All

We are going on Harmony of the Seas in May 2019 and the Cruise Planner is not offering the 4&5 Night Dining Package only the 2&3 Night Dining Package and the Ultimate Dining Package does anyone have an idea why and if Royal will offer 4&5 Night Dining Package closer to the sailing. Thanks For Your Help

Thanks

Hi Has anyone had any experience with "The Key" option it looks interesting but I am not sure it worth the 19.99 Adult per day price? Thank

Thanks If we still have not heard from the travel agent could we ourselves just book with Royal for the same saling for the discounted price and cancel with our travel agent

Booked through a travel agent for our next cruise. Royal Caribbean website is showing the fare to be $1107 cheaper under the current sale. Confirmed we are looking at same sailing, same category, same deck the only difference I can find is the cruise is now 6 months away so the non-refundable deposit is in play. Travel agent is not responding to email request to see if current sale is applicable to our booking. Are we missing something?? Any advice? I know we can't contact Royal directly because it is a travel agency booking. Travel agency is well known and specializes in Royal. Thanks

We just made final payment for on our 8 day cruise on Navigator of the Seas in May 2016 we have a question on my time dining. We are a family of 3 and we like to eat alone when you do my time dining is it more likely to get a table by ourselves or would we be put in random larger table with three open sets. Or could we request a table for three in one of two main settings, how does this work? Thanks

So is there a 20 percent discount on any Specialty Restaurants that you attend on the first night

We are looking at Specialty Restaurants for on our 8 day cruise on Navigator of the Seas we are trying to decide what’s days would be good to try the specialty restaurants. We thought if we knew what was being service in the main dining room that would help. Does Royal Caribbean post the menus ahead of time for the main dining room if so could someone post a link. If anyone has any other suggesting of what days they do main dining vs. specialty restaurants we would be interested to hear Thanks

Thanks for all your help we just book 8 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Navigator of the Seas out of Fort Lauderdale with Stephanie from mei-travel . We decided to go with the Navigator of the Seas instead of Allure of the Seas because of the price and because of the ports we would be visiting and the extra day did not hurt. We are just setting up our online account with Royal and will start looking into shore excursions and dining. Again thanks everyone for there input and I sure we will have more questions as we go threw the process.

Thank You

We are thinking of taking a Royal Caribbean cruise for the first time March 2016. We have done one Carnival cruise which we did not like and four Disney cruises that we love. We are looking at 7 Night Western Caribbean Cruise on Allure of the Seas or 8 Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Navigator of the Seas both out of Fort Lauderdale. Which cruise ship would you recommended for a family of three for our first experiences on Royal Caribbean and why. Thank You ​
