I've had it both ways on RC. Either way they'll let you know. Don't be afraid to ask if you're not sure.

All excursions booked through RC provide transportation. You meet on the ship and walk off as a group, or you meet on the pier and they walk you all to busses or whatever they're using to get you to the destination. Tipping at the end of the cruise is up to you. You don't have to. If you receive exceptional service, then whatever you feel comfortable giving.

From what I've heard RC does this for babies as well, but you can't do it online, it still only offers rooms with pullmans. I'm considering calling about getting an ocean view on a higher deck on Oasis, which online doesn't allow.

It was crowded when we went, April 2016. Fun, except my wife really wanted to feed them, but people grabbed handfuls of food, instead of 1 piece per person, so she didn't get to. Then, trying to get a picture with one was a pain because of a family from a different culture just shoved their way in front of us. She finally shoved them out of the way, once they had their turn but wouldn't let others in, and got her picture. I mainly snorkeled with the rays on the edges, away from the main crowd of people.

True that. Welcome back!

Mr @UkuleleCruiser, I haven't seen you on here in a while, or I'm just not reading the right posts.

True...Great question! Answer is no ? @monctonguy, Molson Golden is from up your way, and it's my 2nd favorite beer.

Yes!

Seeing a Quantum class with snow in the background...Could a Quantum visit Alaskan ports? That'd be a fun (expensive?) cruise!

I've only been twice, and loved wandering around the far end of the island with no people. So peaceful, and a great view, unhindered, of the massive big-blue-wet-thing.

How long were the halloween decorations up?

Great article, thanks for sharing. I can't wait for the reveal of the new adventure on Symphony...fun for all ages...hmmm

No knives. They'll find it and hold it (in my experience).

Bionic Bar charges gratuity?! Gotta pay for the robots somehow I guess.

On our way to Merritt Island yesterday I saw Oasis as we were at the top of the bridge...thought of you, with a little envy. How's the weather? Thinking of heading out on Oasis next Nov.

Thanks! My starting guess was $2, so the $4 range makes it even more worth it for the pkg. Having grown up with 10 acres of orange and grapefruit trees, the non-fresh is a last resort.

The 24hr cancel rule has been changed to 48hrs if I remember correctly. I agree though, book before boarding.

REALLY hoping they put new shower doors in the bathrooms...get rid of those curtains!

Great list!

Rock climbing. My goal, starting on our 3rd cruise, is to climb every day, but so far I've only made it 6 out of 7 days on our Freedom OTS cruise. The weather didn't permit every day on our Serenade trip.

Yeah, we've never wanted to pay separate for it, but I'd totally have some with breakfast since it's included in the pkg(s). The issue now is I know my wife won't be able to drink enough of anything to get the full pkg, so I'll need to look at the others and maybe make "the call" to RC, to ask if they'll allow her a lower pkg.

Does anyone know how much the fresh squeezed orange juice is in the WJ? Trying to math up my drinks to know if the drink pkg is worth it next time around. Thanks!

My friends and I said it slightly different, "pics or shens". Proof, or we call shenanigans!

Thanks for the personal experience post @twangster!

We cruised Enchantment in 2015, from Cape Canaveral, with some friends. We were Gold, took maybe 15min to board in the Gold line. Took our friends 45min in the "nobodies" line. We didn't try to get them in line with us, didn't think of it really.
