Good afternoon fellow cruisers! I apologize in advance if this has been asked. I am on a very strict diet and I am limited to what I can drink. I was wondering if anyone knows if Ovation offers low sugar smoothies? I drink lots of water but my food intake is limited so my Dr. Says to add low sugar or sugar free smoothies to help keep up my energy levels. We will be sailing soon and I want to get a heads up. Thank you!!!! Happy Sailing!!!!

How soon should you book insurance? Do you have to do it far in advance?

Veteran of the Seas... they can special cruises for Veterans!

Hero of the Seas.... 

Caregiver of the Seas....

Do they have them on Ovation? 

I'm from Boston. It is better to stay in historical district and take taxi to port. Public transit can get hectic at times in Boston and crowded. Taxi will be easier and you know you can get to your port in a decent time. Just give yourself plenty of time to get to the port. Enjoy Boston. Some beautiful sites are there. 

Sorry to hear your luggage was lost. That always puts a damper on things. That is why we only pack carry ons anymore. Too many lost luggage fiasco. I hope you find resolution without it costing you a penny. 

No budget, would like nice hotel with good amenities. Clean hotel within walking distance of everything. Had knee replacement surgery so cannot walk too far.

Have fun! Don't worry about others. Wear what makes you feel confident. 

We use Harr Travel. They have been exceptional to us. 

Does anyone know if Hyatt st Olive 8 provides a shuttle to pier? That is where we would like to stay. 

Wish they would put it on all the ships. It would be nice.

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers!!! I know this is an odd question and I do so apologize if it has been asked before. DH and I will be doing OTS to Alaska next year. We are definitely doing the ATV excursion in Sitka. We did one on our cruise to Hawaii a few years back and because the two of us rode in a 2 person ATV we only paid the price for 1 person. So here is my question for those of you who have done this excursion. 

Is the price you pay per person or do you get the same deal we did years ago in Hawaii? One price for 2 people since DH will be doing all the driving in a 2 person ATV?

Thank you in advance. Happy Cruising!!!!

July is our cruise. I still can't get excursions to come up. We have been trying all week. 

Good morning fellow cruisers!!! Was just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the shore excursions site? We have been trying for 3 days now and always get a message saying royal is on vacation. We cannot see any excursions. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Happy Cruising!!!!

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers!!! This may have been asked before and I do so apologize. Hubby and I would like suggestions for safe Seattle Hotels that you have stayed in. I hear Seattle can be rough and we want to spend the night before our trip. We also want to be safe. Any suggestions from those who have recently stayed in Seattle will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and Happy Cruising!!!!

I have to agree with unsupervised children. I love children but when left unattended they can ruin everyones vacation. 

Cruisers who hog hot tubs all day and think its ok. 

Really drunk cruisers who become rude and disruptive. We have had that happen. They get extremely loud and have rude behaviors and just keep on being belligerent. I understand some drink for a good time but know your limits. Remember everyone is on vacation and just wants to make good memories. 

Is it just by luck that some people can book excursions for July 2024 or does RCCL decide when to let you book? I have noticed some people can already book certain things for cruises in July 2024. We have yet to have anything available. I know it is a long time away, we are just trying to stay ahead of the game. Any info would be appreciated. Happy Cruising!!

I was going to do the same thing but I got great advice from my TA. She said you should never pay it off early. Wait until a few days before pay off date. Heaven forbid something happens and you cannot go on your cruise, it is easier to get refunds of smaller amounts than waiting for the whole amount.

How soon can you buy if your booked 620 days out?

I did a mock booking. Choose the same cruise, same destination and same cabin. Today my booking was $600 cheaper than what I paid a few days ago. Including taxes and extras. 

Good morning fellow cruisers! I have a quick question and I apologize if it has been asked before but I'm still new to Royal. I booked my cruise a few days ago for 2024 and today Royal is offering the Cruise with an extra $550 off. My question is, am I entitled to these extra savings or do I not get them since I already booked my trip? Thank you!!! Happy Cruising!!!

When is the best time to book the beverage package? We are not sailing till July 2024 but I want to know when to start checking for the best deal. 

Its official!!! Booked our July 2024 cruise to Alaska!!!! Yay Royal!!!!

Does anyone why rccl has no sailings from seattle the week of July 12th 2024 to Alaska? And why you only get Ovation and not Quantum for that season. The week we wanted to travel was the 12th but its the only week not offered on their web site. Any info would be much appreciated. Happy Cruising!@!

Waiting ever so patiently for rccl to post July 2024 sailings to Alaska. Been biting my nails. I know it is supposed to be up during this week but the anticipation is killing me. DH and I have been saving for so long and just want to book it to take some weight off. Please Royal, ever so kindly post your sailings!!! Happy Cruising!!!!
