It’s strange to me that a prepaid Visa card can’t be used. A debit card is different since the money has to be withdrawn from a bank account. You purchase a prepaid Visa for a specific amount and the value of the card is the purchase price less any activation fees. It’s like using cash.

Can I use a prepaid Visa card to pay my onboard account balance. I know debit cards aren’t suggested.

Sisters trip for me! I have cruised before with Disney. This is my first Royal Caribbean cruise and my sisters first cruise ever. We are so excited!

Cruising on Wonder of the Seas in January. Going to St. Thomas and St. Maarten. How common is if for people to simply venture out and explore on their own without booking an excursion? Is it safe to do so?

I am new to cruising on Royal Caribbean. My two prior cruises were on Disney Cruise Lines several years ago. My sisters and I are doing a 7 day eastern Caribbean cruise in January 2024 on Wonder of the Seas. I am so confused with how dining works on RC. Are any meals or drinks included in the price we paid for the cruise? If so, which dining rooms or restaurants are included. Do we have to buy dining and drink packages? If I recall correctly, the price of meals and soft drinks was included in the price of the Disney Cruises. I was surprised to see that if you don't buy a drink package, you have to pay for each soft drink individually.
