A few questions about the refreshment package. I've never been on a cruise and will be going to one in a few months. I usually drink like a camel at night before bed so I would probably breakeven just with water alone, but am I allowed to get 10-12 bottles of water a day? I also drink about 4-5 cups of coffee a day. I'm not sure what this refreshment package offers, is it unlimited non-alcoholic drinks? or is there actually a limit to how man drinks I can get in a day.

Not new to Royal, but have a few questions regarding the dining packages, the soda package, and the internet packages for a 7 day cruise on the Oasis of the Seas. I understand there are different Voom plans. Is there one for 4 devices? What do they normally run, for a 7 day? Do they ever discount the prices at all? How much have you seen a discount for the soda package? How much have you seen a discount for the 3-night dining package? I know at least one of the replies to this thread will include "It may vary", however I consider myself a statistician, so I like knowing what the best case scenario could be. Thanks in advance for the assistance!

We made our reservations last night, and started looking at the cruise planner, deciding what things we would like to purchase for the cruise. I was looking at the Voom basic (no streaming) package for 1 device yesterday and it said 11.99...but today it says 14.99. Why did the price go up overnight?? Do these packages and things go on and off of 'sales'...should i just watch them for a while and buy when they are 'on sale' ?? I am confused...

First of all, i apologize for the silly 101-questions, this is first time i am sailing and found this board to rescue me. Here we go: My reservation is for the Oasis of the sea Eastern Caribbean cruise (7 nights) on the 20th of May. Occean view balcony (14th deck) 1) Beverage packages: From what i read, there should be some discounts/sale at some point, but it has been 2 months now since i made the reservation and i've not seen any discounts on the packages [ deluxe package remains to be at $55/p) and both people in the same room must purchase it? now my wife(to be) doesn't drink much alcohol, why shall i purchase her a deluxe package, is there anyway around this? 2) I am really lost when it comes to food on the ship!!! I read a couple of topics about dinner and that there are 2 options for that. What about breakfast and lunch? what are the restaurants on board and what times do they operate? are they all included in the package or do we pay extra? 3) In the plan my cruise website, when i check the dining options, the website says I cannot reserve this right now, does it open reservation a certain time before cruise day? 4) It says that the ship starts sailing 4.30 PM on the 20th of May, what is the latest time i can check in the ship? How long does the process take? 5) Internet package - shall i purchase that package now, or wait for a discount as well for this? 6) Do you recommend i choose/buy my off shore excursions now, or wait to find deals on the ship? 7) The cruise itinerary is Orlande, Labadee, St. Maartin and San Juan - Do you recommend any in particular shore excursions? 8) Shall i pay the gratitude package from now as well or do it on ship? i don't really understand the system. Thanks a lot for your help and once again i apologize for these questions, i am sure they were answered 100 of times before. Also if you have any advice for first timers, it would be great. cheers:) Ramy

Okay so my cruise Oasis of the Seas embarking on April 2nd 2017, is my Fiance and I's honeymoon. I was playing around on the Royal Gifts page and found the Romance Package for champagne, strawberries, chocolates, and flowers; and I also found the Just Married deluxe room decor package. I wanted to order them to be ready on embarkation day but when I enter mine or my fiance's name or our reservation number, it says it can't be found and refers me to call. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I just call to add this to our room? Has anyone had experience with either of these gift packages or something similar? Did they seem worth it? Thanks in advance guys!

Hi everyone! Sailing out on the Independence in June and I am trying to find a list of beers included in the select package. Specifically, I'm trying to see if there are hard ciders (strongbow, Redds etc) included. Thanks!!!
