  2. Anyone Get Drink Package for Convenience?

    in Royal Caribbean Discussion

    Posted

    I've done 10 cruises and always had the drinks package. I keep toying with the idea of not having one but never bite the bullet. To me it is about convenience for sure! 

    Do I find myself drinking for the sake of it? YES but i'm on holiday so have a good time doing it.

     

    I have the drinks package for my upcoming transatlantic on explorer for 14 days, this was "included" in our cruise fare thanks to a UK promotion. the drinks package is £44x14 = £616 and the cruise fare was around £1000 pp for that sailing so really was a great offer.

     

    but it certainly is nice to not have a big bill at the end and to just try different drinks.

  7. Oasis New York back to to Fort Lauderdale - 2020

    in Royal Caribbean Discussion

    Posted

    Im have been looking and this may have already been discussed but the last Oasis of the Seas sailing out of New York is 25th October 2020 so that returns 1st November to New York.

    Oasis then has a 7 night Caribbean from Fort Laurderdale on the 8th November, I'm wondering why there is no repositioning cruise from new York to Florida?

     

    Did I see  someone say that you cant just do America to America? Although surely they would visit some ports like CocoCay?

     

    EDIT : I had a duration filter on and there is in fact a 4 day leaving November from Fort Lauderdale

    Voyager of the Seas 2019 It appears her final voyage before dry dock is Hong Kong to Singapore that leaves 3rd September 2019, dry dock seems to be 10th September till 21st October 2019

     

    Allure of the seas 2020 - It appears her final voyage before dry dock is a transatlantic that leaves 1st March 2020, dry dock seems to be 13th march till 10th may.

    Explorer of the Seas 2020 -  It appears her final voyage before dry dock is a Southern Caribbean that leaves 21st February 2020, dry dock seems to be 1st March till 7th may for her European season.

    Freedom of the Seas 2020  It appears her final voyage before dry dock is a Southern Caribbean that leaves 5th January 2020, dry dock seems to be 12th January till 8th March.

    When I sailed Anthem last October we were already getting down into the 40s for regular daytime temps. I already had the chinos I normally wear to dinner packed, and simply wore one of them along with a casual long-sleeve shirt for embarkation day as well as debark. That, plus my leather jacket was enough. By day 2, even though we were going southeast rather than due south, I was already in shorts and a t-shirt for wandering around the interior of the ship; a bit chilly for walking around the outside mind you, at least until the afternoon.

    In January, it may take until the third day before you'll feel comfortable walking around the track in shorts and a t-shirt, but if you stick to the solarium pool area and don't plan on visiting the SeaPlex early on, you really should only need warm clothes for the first and last days.

    Pinging @J_Keeble, as I recall he did an Anthem sailing in late November last year or year before, when we were having an early winter and there was already snow in the air. 

    I sailed in November 2017 and I believe NYC had its coldest winter for some years or that they said it was never normally this cold in October but it certainly was wooly hat weather. I  wished I packed a bigger coat! but departing from NY it was cold, to the extent where you would need a jumper to be on top deck. Being English me and grace my fiancé endured the cold and had the whole pool deck / hot tub to ourselves for the first couple of days. by day 2 the weather started to warm and day 3 was bright sunshine. if you can get robes from the ship I would certainly recommend that.

     

    @kittysoul when are you going? just seen its January haha, I would certainly suggest a few jumpers. :)

    Cabin upgrades seem to be hit and miss with the last few Amps.  Adventure and Navigator got some cabin upgrades, Mariner and Indy did not other than the new cabins created.  

    Not sure if kettles are part of cabin upgrades.  Typically you get a kettle if you are staying in a Junior Suite of higher.  All cabins have kettles if sailing from the UK (at least that is what I've heard).

    yes they do haha! we love a good cup of Tea :P

  24. Rhapsody of the seas

    I was on Rhapsody last month out of the med and it was fantastic! michelle was the cruise director and he was on symphony last year so certainly knows what he is doing. the ship has fantastic crew and I couldn't find anything wrong with the entire ship. great food and drink and the ship still seemed in very good condition all over.
