What kind of sales do they run on black friday?  I would love to do a tour, are they ever discounted?

Last year my cruise in February had the lowest prices on Black Friday. It was a great sale for me!

To add to the above. I was told by rccl I had to book directly with them to use my myVEGAS rewards. 

Just a heads up - I checked my cruise planner today and apparently there is an unannounced sale because all the drink packages are cheaper than the most recent advertised sale.  Go figure but it pays to check often as @matt says.

You can also try to show up 15 mins early to ensure you get into the MDR on time or even earlier.

Depending on when your cruise is will determine how much you can do in the park too.  After school starts back, in August here in Florida, the park thins out and you can do more rides.

Don't forget you will have gratuities charged to your account unless you pre-pay them.

Hello,

I keep seeing that the is a $13 limit on the drinks you can get on board.  No being a heavy drinker, what kind of drink would cost more than $13?

The Deluxe Beverage Package states buy 2 get 50% off.  This is on their website.  I bought 3, but did not get 50% off the 2nd package.  They say the discount is 25% off each package.  Since I purchased 3 We notice they are all the same price.  We did not receive any benefit by purchasing the 2nd.  The two individual packages are the same cost as the 3rd package.  We brought this up to Customer Service, they will not budge  We cannot tell if they understand our position .  Their position never changes and they keep repeating they are all 25% off.  Why advertise  something that is not true?  We feel it is false advertising.  It doesn't matter if you buy one or 5, they are all the same individual price.   No price break for purchasing 2.  Anyone have a similar issue?

Thank you

I had the same issue but when I called the rep explained it like this.....buy one at $70 regular price get one at $35 divided by two is the $52 pp price or take $70 - the 25% off each = same $52 each.  The screen showed $52 which was the discounted price per person.....Clear as mud?

We always take a bag of assorted mini candy bars and fill a glass with a sticky note that says "Thank you" during our cruise.  At the end of the cruise we add extra cash to the same glass.  

If you look at past cruise compasses almost all of them have a solo cruiser meet up so you could meet others on the ship traveling alone.  

I had online issues with the weekend sale and called RCCL today - they rep told me there will be another cruise planner sale in about 2 weeks....Hopefully she was not just trying to please me!

We got diverted from Coco Cay to Freeport back in February/March and did RC's "Family Beach Escape". It is run by Bahama Adventures. Here's a link on Trip Advisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductDetail-g147420-d12939450-Family_Beach_Escape-Freeport_Grand_Bahama_Island_Bahamas.html

It was fine - sand, water, chairs, umbrellas - food and drink included but not sure about alcohol as we don't partake.

Thank you

Hi - we were there in March and went to the water park.  It was great fun and had nice zip lines that all landed in water.  We did an all day pass which let us come and go so we went back to the port for lunch then returned to the water park after lunch.  They have a free shuttle running between the port and park.

Hi -

Any recommendations for a beach day in Freeport, Grand Bahamas.

ok...how do you all get those fancy schmancy "signatures" on the bottom of your posts?  i want one!

Click on your name in the top right corner then account settings, then signatures.

Perfect - Thanks much!

Hi all -

I have seen several post for using magnetic hooks in our cabin for towels, wet suits, etc.   Can anyone recommend magnetic hooks they have actually used.  I looked on Amazon but there is a lot to choose from.

We were on Enchantment several years ago and I remember walking through the arcade thinking "this is it?"  There were not a lot of games in it and it was in a small out of the way almost hidden space.  Hopefully they have updated it.

Price on Independence of the Seas for a 5 night cruise next month is $42.99 usd

Hi - got this list of ships having freestyle from RCCL in August 2018 -

Adventure, Allure, Anthem, Enchantment, Explorer, Freedom, Grandeur, Harmony, Independence, Jewel, Majesty, Mariner, Oasis, Quantum, Ovation, Rhapsody, and Symphony

Thank you - I did see that one and have based my choices off it, but my app has different show times so I was hoping to get a newer one.

If you don't get a response here and you feel brave enough to make the foray over to the land of angry people, checking the Cruise Critic Roll Call for that particular sailing may be another route to try. 

Ha - thank you!

Hello,

Is anyone sailing on the February 18 or March 4 sailing on Independence of the Seas 5 night to Costa Maya and Cozumel?  If so, can you please post the cruise compass as soon as you return.  Thank you in advance.

Nice - thanks for sharing
