Yes, it is 20% cheaper to buy credit pre cruise. I just got $50 credit for each kid at a cost of $40/kid.

I want to get some arcade credits for my kids on their sea pass card. The way it works is that when your credits run out, it just starts charging the room. My question is: Is there a way for my kids to see their balance so they don't charge more than their balance? Thanks

And your clothes in your extra checked bag probably won't get destroyed like they might in the wash.

A pirate walks into a bar with a ships wheel attached to his crotch. The bartender asks the pirate, What's with the ship's wheel? Pirate responds, Arg, it's drivin me nuts.

Yes ppl bring insulated bottles. You can fill in the windjammer. That being said, if you have the beverage package, just get a bottle of water whenever you get a drink. Stock up on them and then bring them for you family on port days. I know you aren't supposed to share, but it's water, I say share away. As far as room keys. If the 2 rooms are linked I believe you can get your cards programmed to open both doors. I maybe wrong but I am pretty sure you can get wow bands to do that. T-Mobile watch... IDK how they work. I would be hesitant to find out the hard way. Maybe leave it home.

Way to go... Hopefully my Symphony trip on the 20th will have this too!

That's a crazy story! It very well could be that room. I can't imagine any other reason they would lock it out unless there was an active investigation.

If you have reservation numbers, you can always call RC to link. It's pretty quick and painless.

I think the lowest you'll see is 35% off or $67.99/day plus gratuities. That was the cheapest my 8 day symphony trip ever got.

Yeah I was thinking that might be an issue. To be safe I will probably be bringing a glass of water to empty the ash into. It might be frowned upon, but it is certainly better than creating a fire hazard.

I get the sense she wants us to know who she is. There may be some self promo involved. Google makes it real easy and she dropped several hints at her many careers.

I was just reading on symphony is it deck 15 port side and deck 5 starboard as well as the casino. I assume Oasis is similar. I smoke a pipe and was trying to figure out if that is even allowed.

Yes, very sad and new details are emerging. Apparently there was a family argument that preceded this event. Speculation on my part but maybe the argument revolves around the fact that he was underage and was drunk. During this argument the man/boy jumped. Very tragic for all involved.

I don't doubt the experience was wonderful, and maybe for you it was worth the money ... Maybe money isn't as much of an issue for you as it is me. But dropping 10-15% of my annual Gross salary to go on Icon is certainty NOT worth the money for me no matter how good the food or entertainment is. I mean we have another thread going right now about a guy that dropped $100k on an ugly royal Caribbean cup. I am sure all RC cruises are worth the money to him too.

I just looked at mine and it was $544 and change, so roughly $17/device/day. I personally think there should be a room rate unlimited device price scheme. Sure this would mean suites would get a better deal since they can have more ppl, but the suite ppl are also paying a premium already. $30/room per day would be a lot more reasonable IMO. But then again making as much money as possible is not my goal here. I am guessing this will only happen when the free market allows me to purchase starlink directly on a daily or weekly basis so I can compete with the cruise lines. If there were individual options out there we wouldn't be able to be robbed like this. I just don't know how starlink works. I assume devices cannot connect directly to it. You need a receiver then modem/router to create a LAN which you can connect to. Someday though the option might exist for direct connection globally.

1 person 4 devices

Yes and no. For one I have heard it is crap... Delayed and missed messages etc. Second, I have a 12 yr old and they cannot sign up for an account on the app. They have to be over 13. Which is fine for my other 2 kids but not my youngest.

I just got voom for 4 devices and I have to say the price for the package is just ridiculous. I know I don't "need" to buy it, but with my kids on board it is a must to be able to communicate with them. But nearly $600 for 8 days is absurd. It just feels like another money grab by RC. I won't pretend to know what RC's costs for starlink are, but surely it's way above what they charge.

2 weeks, can't wait. Time to start packing!

No wedding ring I see.... Smart man keeping his wealth to himself

Did the Royal bling necklace come with the cup? He just needs Royal bling grills now.

I'm a little late to this party, but Merry Christmas!

Symphony of the Seas 4/20/2024.... 15 more days

My symphony trip in two weeks is going to Falmouth...yuck. That's ok. I will get off the ship for an hour or so and then get back on and enjoy an emptier ship. The kids will enjoy less lines at the waterslide, and I will take advantage of the deluxe drink package.

I am actually surprised it will take that long.
