SPS

Thanks! 6 DAYS UNTIL NAVIGATOR! Looking forward to meeting @WAYNO who is also on our cruise!

Moving along...
 

Sorry this is late everyone! Between cruising over New Year's and going back to work, this was the first chance I got to update this. Better late than never 😉

A FEW times a week?
 

It's probably just too soon to book anything this far out from your cruise date. Cruise Planner items will begin to populate as your embarkation date approaches. Keep in mind that not all items will populate at once. (i.e. Excursions may begin to become available before drink packages.)
Also, gratuities are not a Cruise Planner item. To add them online, you generally have to add them at the time of booking. To have them added to your reservation after booking, you will need to call Royal Caribbean.

Because of seasonal duties and life's chores, I kind've diverted my attention from this cruise a little bit.
Only a week and a half to go!  That is a surprise.🤩

Those soap box races are incredible 🤣

Red Bull Flugtag and Red Bull Soap Box Races!

I'll just offer up that I think you'll find cruising a lot easier as an introvert than you may think. The great thing about a ship is you can be alone when you want, without being confined to your cabin. You can also be social when you want, but you have lots of ways out once your social bucket is full for the day.

I'll give another thumbs up for the Solarium as mentioned by @JimnKathy. 
Even if you don't drink, some of the more "out of the way" bars can be good place for a bit of less crowded tranquility. Seek and ye shall find.
In addition, some of the areas on the deck above the pools can be less frequented.

CHEERS!

Depending on the ship, I've seen them in the Cafe Promenade, Park Cafe (Vision-Class), and Cafe Two70 (Quantum-Class). YMMV.

Incorrect. They can only serve liquor that has been taxed by the state of Texas while in port.
Honestly, I didn't even notice what was NOT being served while in port. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to have my Buffalo Trace on Harmony, but it was not an issue.
Anyway, the only Texas made bourbon I recall seeing was Balcones and I only saw it in the Trellis Bar in the Central Park area.

Here I am again with another ambitious project - making photo menus for all dining venues on Royal Caribbean ships.  
It's for people like me who "order with their eyes."
I have one REQUEST:  To make it easy for others to browse the menus this topic, let's keep discussions to a minimum.
