  1. We do the earlier one for more evening time. Also don’t want to go to bed too full
  2. Jamaica has always had warnings. Went there on our honeymoon many years ago and noticed the soldiers patrolling outside the resort. Talking to the resort driver about it he basically said it's know not to mess with the tourists because if you do and the soldiers get you the rest of your life won't be pleasant. As long as you stay to the tourist areas it should fine
  3. Distance wise it isn’t too far, time wise not so close. Plenty of hotels around the airport, but it would be a bit of time to cover the distance. We’ve stayed in Jersey city a few times and visited Manhattan. You can take a ferry across, more relaxing.
  4. Not sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing with Royal sometimes. Never had a switch like that, but on one cruise the earlier dining was suppose to 5pm (stated when we booked and reflected in our papers). Once on board the sea pass card had it as 5:30pm. Ok no biggie. Go down the first night and the MDR manager was in a panic because only a handful of people had shown up for the whole MDR. Apparently Royal changed the early dining time to 5:30 (reflected on the seas pass card), but didn't bother to tell MDR or kitchen they switch it who were preparing everything to 5pm. Lets just say the first night the food was a little off
  5. I've never gotten this incarnation on the drink package. I think I got the beer package once long ago when they had it. For us the price is not worth it given what we spend a la carte, would rather just save the money and go on another cruise or upgrade to a suite
  6. Depends on what you mean by "best". Ourselves we wanted someone we wanted somehow who provides great service who we can trust. Might not get as many "perks" but they know what we want and offer helpful suggestions
  7. From my experience, outside of shows, everything you can book shows up immediately (excursions, drink packages, dining etc)
  8. If I was Royal I'd look over if any of these tik tokers causing drama broke any rules and if so I'd give them exclusive opportunity to do the remaining tik tok's from the brig. They can tik tok how they've been given access to part of the ship that pinnacle members don't
  9. Would like to do the CLS suite to experience it. Currently it's a hike to get to any cruise port so we're doing only one a year, would probably pick the CLS in the immediate term
  10. Definitely a common problem in general. Watching Matt's video on the Icon with the destination elevators seems like a massive improvement
  11. I just tried a few mock bookings on different cruises and picked the same room for both a single and two adult. They were essentially the exact same price, excluding the port fees (found that the single was a few dollars less)
  12. Myself I wouldn't buy anything over a couple of hundred on the ship or in ports.
  13. My wife likes playing the slots. I found it more cost effective to just buy a bunch of slot machines and put them in my games room
  14. Kind of a novelty at first, up until my last cruise never really used it. Last cruise my one kid had just turned 21 so we used it a lot (that was his go to bar)
  15. We've always picked our room and prefer mid to aft. First cruise we had one in the front, waters were rough and got bounced around quite a bit. No interest in GTY if there is the possibility it could be in the front
  16. Do you have a link to the follow up piece? Few things seemed off in the original
  17. Never had an issue getting the table size we request, however we let our TA do it when we book
  18. For traditional dining, correct you have your table, no need for an addition reservation. The MDR does serve breakfast every day, but only lunch on sea days. It is only one level of the MDR that serves breakfast and lunch (cruise compass will tell you, thinking deck 3). You just show up for those, no reservations needed
  19. We just always flip our phone to manual as we walk on the ship the first day
  20. Only time I remember going to Ben and Jerry's was when my kids were young. Most part I rarely see people there
  21. Only flew into Newark once. There was a hotel shuttle pickup beside/part of Terminal C (near Vallet parking P4). Guess that might be the place? We came into Terminal A and had to the their shuttle rail to get their
  22. I just always email [email protected] with the request form and stockholder statement If you go to section 11 Where can I obtain the Shareholder Onboard Credit Offer Request Form? has a You can complete your Shareholder Onboard Credit Offer Request electronically link that seems to work
