Matt 12,304 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 What is something you've done or tried on a Royal Caribbean cruise that you'll never do again? An activity/strategy/plan/tour that you now realize after doing it was a mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tira04 64 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 The 'Learn to play' session in the casino. I'm not a gambler and never been to Vegas but I thought it would be fun to have a 'play'session to learn. No one else was there and the staff were not very enthusiastic so they only explained some rules to me very quickly. Not exactly the fun session I had envisioned! Also, the art auction! It promised champagne that never materialised and was painful to watch as an art conservator! Haha. Nicci, 4ensic and Ogilthorpe 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MicDay 168 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Stop packing so much crap we never used. I seriously need to be like some of you, have a cruise bag of the things we actually use. Ogilthorpe, RWDW1204, loki007 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melmar02 1,366 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Walk to 7 mike beach from the ship. Yes, it's walkable, but it was miserably hot when we tried. Then everyone was so grumpy that no one wanted to stay. Ogilthorpe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sk8erguy1978 1,150 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 @melmar02 made me think of another thing. Not leaving the ship with enough money. We took a cab to Paradise Point from Crown Bay with the hopes one of our ATM cards would work at a bank. Thankfully it did but I was silently having a panic attack LOL.

MuttMutt 64 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Never going to take a pain med when rough seas are forecast and maybe not at all. They always make me a little nauseated but no matter what I did I couldn't get it under control. And I had some motion sickness stuff but had left that in Jamaica with my dive gear. Had two pretty I miserable days heading back to Galveston. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teddy 863 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 I'm not sure if this qualifies since we will most likely do it again, but the one thing my wife and I wish we had done differently on all our cruises is stay up later. We tend to keep our normal schedule of up by 3 or 4 am....which means we follow our normal schedule of going to bed early. It seems like every day we see things in the cruise planner that we want to go to that night, but we fall asleep. On the flip side, the ships are pretty much deserted that early in the morning.

jagnew 62 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Add another vote for art auction! We also thought it would be a good idea to walk to the main Cozumel area from the non-main pier. We, uh, rode back in a taxi. Chawkjewel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S.Marie 132 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Overeating. My hubby and I wanted to fit as many dining experiences into our 4 night cruise that we wound up napping or falling asleep after every meal (and we did not accomplish much else!)

wstephensi 167 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Snorkeling in Ketchikan, AK. The excursion and staff were great, but the wife and I did not enjoy wearing a wetsuit. Nor did we look good in it. The daughters, on the other hand, enjoyed the excursion and looked great in a wetsuit. MicDay, Jax, RickinSTL and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazycruiser50 72 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Eat dinner in the Main Dining Room... After experiencing the specialty restaurants, we are unlimited dining package type of people for life. The service and quality of food is what the MDR used to be. Well worth the money in my opinion. (Especially when you catch it on a 50% off cruise planner sale) S.Marie 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KWong 429 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 14 hours ago, cruisellama said: Good for a quick nap.. Power nap or "American Adventure at Epcot" nap? For one of our cruises we had way too much OBC so used it for an "island tour" in Roatan. The tour was fine, but it wasn't worth the cost. So I'll be making better use of my OBC from now on.

A fews years ago, Liberty of the Seas had a husband/wife sales team who were actually pretty entertaining. Hate to admit this but - liked listening to his watch talks.

Psycho and Barb 117 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Buy meds on the ship. Psycho had a head cold one trip and had to purchase medicine from the ship's store at about the double our home price. Lesson learned and we now cruise full stocked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
