Try mbayley@rccl.com... at least I get a reply. Idk where I will cruise with next. My best friends like american cruiselines. I think about $15000? They refuse to cruise with more than 100 onboard. I'm interested in the line @Ourusualbeach is on with all the seafood. Dont know if it's because of the itinerary or what. That's my favorite. Thinking holland american. Please get me moved lol. -
My 3 harmony cruises the cut off was high 1100s. Ship was new to texas so many that's why top heavy to get into suite lounge. One lady told me she missed the cut off by 1 point. Sorely disappointed. We had 3 weeks in a row I was on, had this all 3 weeks. Harmony booked next oct, maybe by then the pinnacles will be less. ..note this was out of texas where not many 7 day choices. And we did know ahead. Like I posted above you can click the link on your app where it says welcome aboard. Someone had clicked it and noticed it weeks before we boarded. They post it ahead of time.

I've read the ala carte is per meal, you cant pick 2 for dinner for instance and do ala carte at both. So it may depend on ship. Biker first time I've read its per venue. Answers seem to vary.

In the Mdr I just said this drink is a D+ drink and never had a issue with being charged, though usually I ask for a coke.

Lets talk Excursions
firefly333 replied to Autiemom's topic in Tales from the Caribbean -- Ask A Question / Share Some Info
I'm sure no worse than any other island and it's been more than 10 years but the week after we went there, there was a gang shooting on the road right where the taxi dropped us off. It's a local beach. For many years people avoided Megan's bay, now everyone has forgotten about that shoot out right there at Megan's bay. Just so happened to be right after I was there. That's the beach I mentioned, not by name as I wasnt sure about recommending it. For years and years people said dont go there. We took a taxi there, not with princess who I cruised with that time. -

Royal will tell you on the ticket where and when to meet, usually in the port. I did some general excursions I remember we went by the nude orient beach. . A lot go to st John's in st thomas. We did some thing where the tram goes up the mountain once. Another time a beach and also up to some sight seeing top of the mountain., scary to drive other side of the road on those mountains lol. We had some open trolley kind of transport. -
Symphony of the Seas - questions
firefly333 replied to wezie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Royal does dynamic pricing. It varies according to the current sale. No set price to purchase ahead. Onboard is always more. Says bogo but it costs more than buying ahead. I always see bogo pricing onboard .. from some made up amount. If your cruise is 7 days generally night 2 and 6 are dress up if you want. -
Less walking than a larger ship. Some people find a elevator that makes noise or rust someplace and act like its the whole ship. It isnt a new ship but I booked it b2b dec 2024, xmas cruise. The one before went to eastern. These smaller ships can do ports the larger ships dont visit. Xmas I'm in grand bahamas. Been over 20 years since I've seen it. Didnt know it even went there, but it was xmas so I booked it and the eastern which has new port for me. DR.

First-time cruiser with many questions.
firefly333 replied to Matt8392's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I did "the works" and had them take off the chilli. They scrambled eggs into potatoes and pepper and onions. My scrambled eggs werent cooked enough. If I go back I'm asking for well done scrambled eggs. Just a FYI. -
On harmony we saw if you click on the welcome aboard thing on your app, even before you board there is a lot of info. The last thing was where they posted only top 30 pinnacles got suite lounge, ck access etc. It's right above the buttons on the bottom of your app where info about your sailing is. Doesn't look like a link but it is.

I'd read some of these threads about booking the vatican and Colosseum on your own. Maybe it's me but sounds hard. And to see faster or get into extra levels a extra fee. Not that easy to book on your own. I'd book a tour. ..or that's my plan.
