  1. I am on board right now and I have a question about the ultimate dining package. If I make a dining reservation, will that work or do I need to go to the restaurant and reserve it? I didn’t wanna be charged since I’ve already paid for it.
  2. @Matt I was reading Matt's recently blog about Cruising out of Orlando and he suggesed to drop off the luggage and all of your passangers before returning the rental car locally. I want to see if that advice is something I should consider for my cruise this weekend in Miami. We rented from Avis which has a downtown Miami location and they bring you to the port. Should I dtop off my family and luggage first and drive to Avis? Or have Avis bring us all to the port?
  3. Yes! My son is a hockey player and we bring our own skates and helmet. I just want to make sure we don't miss the sign up times.
  4. Hi there - We're sailing on the Icon of the Seas in two weeks and have a question about activites like Ice Skating, Laser Tag, etc. I have never sailed on Icon but have sailed on numerous Oasis Class ships. On the Oasis class ships, the activities I mentioned above cannot be book ahead of time. They typically are not bookable until you get on the ship. Is this the same for Icon? Any additional info you might have would be great.!
  5. @Matt Thanks so much for commenting... I have Hibachi booked for lunch on Day 2 (First Sea Day). When I try and book Hibachi for lunch also on Day 5 (Second Sea Day), it will not let me book it. Nor will it let me book it on Day 7 (Third Sea Day). I am able to book Hibachi for dinner on Day 5 (Sea Day) Perhaps there is a limitation since Hibachi is somewhat limited in terms of seating and times but I cannot find a work around at home. I'll need to inqure onboard if it doesnt get resolved.
  6. Hopefully a Quick Question - I will be sailing on the Icon of the Seas with the Unlimited Dining Package. I am trying to schedule LUNCH at Izumi Hibachi for two of my sea days. The restaraunt has availiblity on the days that I want. For some reason it will not allow me to make a second Izumi Hibachi for my sailing. Is that normal or some sort of glitch? And yes, I am aware that there is a possible "upcharge" to eat at Izumi Hibachi.
  7. Thanks for the reply. I think for now, our plan is to rent the car from FLL (Avis/Budget) and then drop off the car at the nearby Avis/Budget rental place in Downtown Miami. And have their shuttle take us to the Port.
  8. We're traveling on Icon of the Seas this year during Easter. I'm trying to decide whether to have our Easter dinner in the Main Dining Room with the thousands of other guests or to make a reservation at one of the specialty restaurants. Does anyone know if they have a special Easter menu? Also, if you have cruised during an Easter sailing, are there any additional offerings? It is a sea day for us. Thanks in advance!
  9. Which rental car place offers this service? This would work well for us.
  10. Can someone help me through this? We're traveling on Icon in April and need some help with logistics. Here are the important details: Arriving two days before, arriving to Fort Lauderdale Airport. Renting Car from Fort Lauderdale Airport to do some stuff (shopping, sightseeing). Staying overnight at JW Marriott (Adventura, FL) Cruising out of Miami After cruise, going back to Fort Lauderdale Airport. Some things to note, we are old school and my wife does have a fear of getting into a strangers car (like Uber, Lyft), but she is OK with private transportation. I'd prefer not to pay for a rental car to have it sit in a garage for a week. So I am debating on renting the car and driving back to Fort Lauderdale (which is in the opposite direction) to board a bus from the Airpoty to the cruise in Miami. Or finding a reliable private transportation company in Miami/Adventura to take us from the hotel to the cruise. Thoughts?
  11. @Matt Need some advice from the RCCL Blog community. My family has been traveling on Royal Caribbean for years. We are all diamond level. My kids (twins) will be 11.5 years old on our next sailing, April 2025. We're going on the Icon of the Seas. This will be our first time on this ship. On our last cruise, August 2024, we slightly "cut the cord" with the kids allowing them to go on the water slides on their own. Getting ice cream on their own. We'd show them where we'd be and expect them back once they were done. We did drop them off at the kids club but required them to stay until we retrieve them. On the ship, we'd see other kids walking around on their own or with a sibbling/friend. And it makes me wonder at what age can I let the kids roam free without us? The kids are not familar with the Icon as they are with an Oasis Class ship. However, we do purchase the wifi plan and also the kids have their own phones. Should I be able to allow them to walk around the ship as long as they stay together? How did you handle this with your kids/family? Please provide any input. I added @Matt to this to see if he has an article or wants to write one.
  12. All great comments and advice. I will check with my employer and see if they want to split the cost with me.
  13. It’s what you said in the beginning. Check email once or twice a day to see if anything needs my attention. Is it out of the question to ask for them to split the internet cost for one user?
  14. Going on the Icon in April: My boss specifically asked me to check my Email while I am away. Should I ask my boss for compensation for this? How do others handle this?
  15. Hi all, Going on the Icon of the Seas in April. I just looked my flights at I have a 11:45AM out of Fort Lauderdale. I've never traveled out of Miami Cruiseport, we'll have a rental car in the parking lot. If we use the Self-Carry departure, would we be able to make it to our flight? I'd prefer not to rebook but wanted some advice.
  16. Interesting. All three of my visits were on concierge and we got on the island 30 minutes before everyone else. So I assumed it was a benefit.
  17. Hi all, I've been spoiled the past few cruises and booking in Sky Class staterooms. I'm on a short cruise and decided to try the Key for this trip. Do "The Key" guests get priority access to Perfect Day CocoCay? I know the Concierge guests do get this service. Please let me know if you have visited the Key and visited Perfect Day. Thanks in advance!
  18. Hi all…. I reserved the unlimited dining package for our cruise next month. Not sure if I’m going crazy or not but I thought I read somewhere they were adding the ability to make dining reservations for the entire trip. Is that available? I also want to confirm, we get a $20 food credit per restaurant, per day? Which means we could grab lunch at Johnny Rockets and appetizers later in the day at Sabor? please let me know?
  19. Hi all, Sailing next month and this will be my first cruise, not in a suite, since they changed the housekeeping to once a day. Can you please explain how this works now? Do you get to pick if you prefer AM or PM cleaning? How does the pull out or ceiling bed get setup nightly? Any info or suggestions would be great.
  20. Hi there - Does anyone know if the Izumi Hibachi Lunch/Dinner include Noodles? My kids love the Soba Garlic Noodles at our local Japanese Restaurant. Do they offer similar Noodles as part of the experience? If not, can they be added on or is it not offered? Please let me know! Going on Oasis soon and this was something I couldn't find out the answer to. @Matt
  21. Thanks so much. This was the response I was expecting. Although I don't require a motorized scooter, having grab rails in the bathrooms are what I need. Some of the suites on Oasis are fairly large and would of worked for me. I guess we're sticking with what we have.
  22. Although I am in a handicap room, a larger suite (non-handicap) could still work with my situation. But it does not appear to be Royal Up eligible for me as my room is not classified as an interior room.
  23. Hi there - I have a handicap room booked for my upcoming cruise. Before anyone asks, yes, I do have needs for this room as I have muscular dystrophy. I am noticing many folks on my upcoming cruise have Royal Up offers whereas I do not. Does anyone know if handicap rooms are eligible for Royal Up offers? Anyone have experience in this?
  24. Hi there, I have seen Special Dining Room Menus for certain Holidays. Thanksgiving is one of them. Does anyone know which holidays have special menus? Does Independence Day (4th of July) have one?
