see that's the thing.. OMG Chicago is Fantastic!! My favorite city... I wish Miami was like that but its NOT.. You cant just walk around and do fun things like Chicago its just not that kind of place. Im sorry I sound negative I just don't want people to think coming to Miami is like going to LA its not.. LA Is fun I have been there many times.. Now if you like Night Clubs and bars yes Miami has quite a lot of that. And if you want Cuban food of course Miami has a lot of that. But touristy stuff like Museums no it doesn't and thats what bugs me about Miami but hey I get it you are on vacay so live it up. I was just sort of joking with Tony my fellow South Florida guy because I know he's not a big Miami fan either.. Us locals who live in Ft. Lauderdale we are usually not Miami people thats all but have an awesome time didn't mean to upset you..

I second this lol.. I don't get for one second what people like about Miami. I have lived in South Florida my whole life and the only time I go to Miami is for cruising, going to Miami Heat games, and concerts. Other than that I find Miami dirty, boring, full of traffic, and just no big deal. The beach is not like the beaches of the Caribbean you cant see to the bottom.. I hate to sound so negative but I don't get it lol

NEVER believe the people at Club Royale about anything. Especially since they outsourced most of their work to that terrible call center in Jamaica. I find them to be absolutely useless and annoying. I know I have no choice but to use them but I don't ask any questions I just book my cruise and get off the phone lol.

Nope didn't upgrade it and still got my points.. Awhile back Royal threatened to take away double points on free cruises for solo's and junior suites.. Well this made everyone go on cruise critic and go crazy. It caused such a commotion that within 24 hours Royal changed the policy back and that is why we still get our points lol.

This was not true for me.. I used my Annual free cruise and got all my points.

Feb is much better than May in my opinion. I live in Ft. Lauderdale Florida and trust me the water is plenty warm in Feb here and in the Caribbean. Feb is usually much Cheaper than May and it won't be as Hot if you want to walk around ports it will be in upper 70's to mid 80's where in May you are looking at upper 80's to Mid 90's.. Plus in May it starts to rain a lot because summer is the Rainy season for Florida and the Caribbean. So yeah for those reasons I would do Feb.

you could totally do that.. Also don't forget you can repeat any specialty restaurant you want also. So you don't have to replace it with the MDR.. It would be a shame to waste a night with the MDR because it makes your cost per meal go up. But hey if you want the MDR go for it and enjoy

You absolutely could do that. I just think most people with the package don't lol but there is nothing against it.. Just like you could eat at Chops at 5:30 and go to the MDR my time dining at 9 if you really wanted to.

Yep this is true. and usually cruise lines do a full Panama Canal crossing when they are switching up the homeport of a ship.

yeah that's the only down side to a Panama Canal cruise. It takes time to get there so the cruise is usually a long one.

you're welcome... I happen to be a travel agent. and the travel agent site is so much easier to navigate than Royal's regular site and I was determined to find it for you.

Found it guys.. Matts post is slightly misleading. You were all looking in 2020 because the post says Rhapsody returns in 2020.. BUT it returns Nov 2020 which means it goes all the way through until Apr 2021.. The Panama Canal cruise is Feb 2 2021 its listed as an 11 night Western Caribbean cruise.. Below is the actual itinerary for the cruise..

Yes Very possible. I strongly suggest you go online in your cruise planner and under dining there will be something called "My Time Dining" that you can click on. You then can make a reservation every night for the time you want and that way you are guaranteed a time and a table for 4 people. Yes you can wait and do it on the ship but then you run the chance of standing in a very long line every night waiting for a table.. I don't know which ship you are going on but I have found especially on Oasis class ships the line can get really long and I am always happy I have a reservation.

nothing will be released for May 2021 and beyond until next years release schedule.. I know it sucks waiting lol...

No problem. Sorry this Is happening to you.. But is there a reason they would not enjoy Symphony or Navigator? its only a 30 min drive from Ft. Lauderdale. Both are amazing ships
