Johana Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 We appreciate all the tips you can give us, we are a married couple, new to cruises, we would love to know every detail. About $$ budgets not included in the itinerary. We wholeheartedly welcome the Have To's that can be done at Oasis of the Seas, by the way we are going in the November season. We are very attentive to details WAYNO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey V. Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Royal does not have any self service laundry and a small bag is costly. You may want to have a few laundry supplies for hand washing. I swap out pool towels when I use them to absorb excess liquid. Know your going rates for things you may want to be tempted to buy in Port or at the ships duty free. Not always a bargain. Same goes for spa services. I knew a vegetarian who bought the unlimited dining plan. Options not good and he would have to supplement his eating at Windjammer. Go figure.
