This may or may not work but here goes
 
we all know how difficult it is to purchase Royal Caribbean ship models apart from on the ship.so I propose that this topic be used to get people their models!
 
For instance I am after Anthem of the Seas ship model & Harmony of the Seas. so would ask if anyone is willing to buy one on board for me and ship the ship to the UK? Obviously I would pay all the money upfront etc and a little extra so you can buy a drink on  board :P

Hello everyone!
 
I am currently 40 minutes from landing at Chicago Midway so I thought I would start my review of my Liberty cruise! I will break this down into sections as to not try and cram everything in one post, and I will even include my thoughts on being Galveston and sailing from there for the first time ever.
 
Overall I enjoyed Liberty very much. There are a few minor complaints that I will get to but they didn't even come close to impacting my enjoyment of the cruise. The voom issue is a very sore subject with me.... more on that later.
 
And before anyone asks, I ate at Sabor four times. That pretty much says it all, but I will include a full review of the restaurant :)
 
I will try to start up the first part of the review later this evening or tomorrow for sure. The first part will be Galveston and sailing from there.
 
Stay tuned.... :D

Do you need cash for anything on board? Casino, arcade, gift shops?

can anyone tell me why i'm being charged 20% vat on this trip but 6 months ago same boat (NAVIGATOR OF THE SEAS) i wan't? :wub:

Going on Adventure of the Seas in June 2017. There is 21 of us going but we have 3,5 and 6 years going. Going to Southern Caribbean for 7 nights. Does anyone have any excursions recommendations besides the beach? I can't seem to find any.
 

Hi
 
we are sailing explorer of the seas ex Sydney , are the packages worth getting??
 
Have heard that internet is extremely slow.
 
Any help with this matter is appreciated
 
 

I have a few questions
1.  How many times can you move a cruise before they say no more?  We booked a cruise for Jan 2017 on our last cruise in Dec 2015.  We moved it to Feb 2017.  Friends that were going are now on the fence and want to look into moving the cruise for them out farther and to a shorter time.  ****back story-we booked two rooms.  One in our name, one in their name.  We are still going on ours in Feb 2017 on Harmony.  They may want to change.
 
2.  We paid a lesser deposit so if they decide to cancel before final payment do they pay the $250 or the deposit amount we paid, which was $100?
 
 
 

That's what I was thinking, but wanted to hear the details.

I have been lucky enough to sail on Royal Caribbean six times now and definitely consider myself Loyal to Royal!
 
Does anyone know of any way to purchase Royal Caribbean merchandise off ship?  On my third cruise I began purchasing those square shot glasses with the pewter logo for each ship I'd been on.  It is a great and reasonably priced memento and I display them proudly, looking forward to the next ship I'll get to go on. The problem is those first two trips I neglected to buy them on.  Is there any way that anyone knows of (outside eBay and the like which I search constantly) to fill in those two missing ships (Adventure and Voyager btw).  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  [if someone is going on one of those ships in the future, I'd gladly pay the cost of the souvenir, shipping and an on-board drink ; ) ]

If you book an excursion onboard can you use shipboard credit to pay?

I want to watch her from the rock jetty.

:wub:   :ph34r:   :P I sail in April!!! 

Hey everyone,
 
Quick question!  We are going on the Harmony in a couple weeks and we did the drink package.
 
My father insists on having everything linked to his account so he can pay, because he's a great guy.
 
Question: we did the deluxe drink package.  Does a sale show up on the invoice at the end of the cruise for every time we buy a drink, even if it's "free"?  Or does nothing show up unless we decide to add additional gratuity?
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'd love to get a Navigator ship figurine to commemorate my wife and I's trip last year. However, i neglected to pick one up on the ship, and they are apparently hard to get on land! I'm hoping someone might be able to pick one up for me! Thanks in advance either way -- You'll love the ship!

Are there any cooking workshops on Anthem of the Seas?  Anything other than scrapbooking and jewelry making?

On a future cruise, the BOGO 2 night is listed at $30...it requires specialty dining the first night, so the MDR has to be sacrificed. The 4 night package is $90. 
 
What is to stop someone from booking two BOGO 2 night packages and not showing for the first night on one of the packages. Does the website prevent that?

Hi everyone,
Just seen the blog about discounts on the cruise planner.  Is this just for the American market or can we do it from the UK ?

I'm thinking about heading out to the rock jetty on the N side of the inlet next to POTA building. Any locals planning on heading out 11/5 07:00 for her arrival?

Hi all. My understanding is that Jewel goes in for her refit today. I am sailing on her in August out of Rome. Any info regarding progress/ photos/ news and updates of the refit would be greatly appreciated. ðŸ‘😀

Stopped at the Falmouth Port in Jamaica.I did some shopping and found out I could get a rebate on my purchases through Vacation Tax Refund once I save my receipts.

We are sailing on the Navigator of the Seas in February and trying to decide between Giovanni's or Chops for dinner one evening. I know we will try Sabor for lunch (especially for the margaritas and guacamole!), but we are torn about an evening choice. Any recommendations for one over the other? Thanks!

I have a story to tell. I just got back from a Panama Canal 14 day cruise, (not RCCL). I ate in the MDR with the same woman 5 different night, she was a solo cruiser like myself. She explained to me that flying was her greatest fear and she refused to do it, so every year she plans a 4 to 5 month cruise, (many different cruise lines, a few hotel stays), to not fly. She has done this for the past 5 years.
 
Her starting point was San Diego, we ended in Miami, from there she was spending a day or two in a hotel and then doing a 4 day RCCL cruise, hotel again, then a 7 day Allure cruise, getting off of Allure and doing a 15 day TA, I think on the Independence, this would take her through most of November. While in London she was doing a HAL cruise of the Mediterranean, 10 days I think, doing another HAL with Spain, Italy, etc. Until at the end of February, beginning of March, she would board a TA that would bring her to Vancouver or Seattle and then a cruise from Vancouver/Seattle to San Diego. On the Panama Canal cruise she had an interior, all other cruises were an ocean view or a balcony.
 
All of this so she doesn't have to fly. My first question, after her cruise itinerary, was "Isn't this expensive" and of course it is, but it is only once a year and she said you told me that you have 6 cruises booked for 2017, with another possibly being booked, (SNAP, she showed me). Next question, "Aren't you seeing a lot of the same ports" and of course she is, so she doesn't get off, she reads, she does needlework.
 
She explained to me she led a very frugal life, she was married, now a widow, had no children, and when her husband passed she sold her home in Denver and moved into the RV that she and her husband vacationed in, after moving the RV to her sister's farm, so no rent.
 
If you were able, would you do something like this? I am not afraid of flying, and to me, it is way too much trouble to set all of this up, just so you don't have to get on a plane, plus being on a ship for 4 months is just mind boggling to me.
 
Sorry to go on and on, but I found this to be so interesting.

This is a message for the really hardcore ship-followers here... Does anyone know if the recent hurricane that hit Freeport Bahamas had any impact on the refurbishments being done on Adventure of the Seas?  
 
There is a five day sailing after the refurb scheduled on Nov 14th, and then we're on her Nov 19th. I'm curious as to if the hurricane may have impacted the ships refurb schedule.
