When does the MDR menu appear in the App?
Ryan79 replied to DaddyTheRunner's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Menus don’t really vary from sailing to sailing, so looking at your ships current sailing, especially if it’s a 7 nighter, will tell you almost with 100% certainly what your menus will look like. -

Enjoy it! Tip amount is up to you. Some people will do $0 per day and some will do $100. Do what YOU are comfortable with, not what others are comfortable with. Costal Kitchen is something you should absolutely eat at at least a couple of times. But I would advise to look at the CK menu each night and look at the MDR menu and pick the one that looks better for YOU. No one can tell you how to enjoy your suite…that is your job!

Passports are not required for closed loop US based cruises, unless if you have a port that specifically requires one.

Lunch at Giovannis on Day 1 on Independence OFS
Ryan79 replied to Vince M's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
It is almost always open on Day 1. However the CP is wonky in that it doesn’t let you make Day 1 reservations until you are much closer to embarking sometimes. I have/had a few upcoming ones where I can make lunch and dinner reservations for everyday except Day 1. When I got to roughly the 120 day mark, then they opened up. This hasn’t been the case for all sailings, but a good number of them. -

Random sales have been much better than holiday sales, especially the past few years. I wouldn’t hold your breath for anything spectacular. You are much more likely to find better deals on a random Tuesday unadvertised 24 hour sale than a 4th of July or a Labor Day sale anymore. Even Black Friday hasn’t been as good the past two years as the random unadvertised sales

I did this in January. The first part of the hike was an asskicker, and almost made me regret booking the excursion. However once the first major hill was conquered, the rest of the hike wasn’t all that bad. Absolutely pack water and some good traction shoes. The beach is an afterthought and it’s the beach that is right next to ship that is quasi-public. No one in my group stayed for that portion as we all did our own thing after the hike. The beach was used more as a place to store your stuff while you are on the hike. -
I cannot for the life of me think of anything that would be worth just viewing from a roadside on a driving tour at Cozumel or even on the mainland. Cozumel is a beach, shopping, cenote, and Mayan ruin port and none of those would be any fun via a driving tour, if even possible.

I got this card as well and I’m a lucky one in that I won’t get hit with the higher renewal fee for about a year due to my renewal date, so I will have about 9 months to take these new “benefits” out for a test drive before making a decision to keep the card or not. I’ve already started giving the Venture X a look or downgrading to the Preferred. It’s a shame that they just might have butchered this card because it really was a great one that has really paid off for me.

@ChessE4 Adventure isn’t an oasis class, so you have nothing to worry about. Adventure is Voyager class which is easily able to dock in San Juan.
-
@Nathan adams Only Oasis class ships are affected by the pier issue. Brilliance is one of the smaller ships in the RC fleet so you aren’t impacted in the least. You will be just fine.

Same experience as @WAYNO. I’ve always booked private transportation from the airport, but booked RC transfers to the airport. Pretty sure I even used the same shuttle service and they were fantastic.

Will I like Oasis after going on Icon
Ryan79 replied to Kelly968's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It is amazing to think of an Oasis class ship as a downgrade. There is a ton to do for your family and I doubt that they will be bored for one second. While not as new with the bells and whistles as Icon, it is still a fabulous and fantastic class ship for families and is second in the world only to Icon. So while it may appear to be a downgrade on paper, it will in no way be a disappointment. Oasis is a great ship and don’t overthink this and psyche yourself out to think anything non-Icon is a sub par ship.
