My notification for our November sailing said you could make reservations starting June 17th. Our old reservation is also still listed despite them saying they cancelled them. I wouldn’t be concerned about it.
Yes they do, but the newer Royal class ships, like Enchanted, do not. We try not to book the older ships because of the lack of sitting area in their balcony rooms, preferring deluxe rooms on Royal class.
It used to be normal to pick your own cabin, & a discount if you booked a guaranty; still is on other lines. Now, it’s definitely a surcharge, if you can even book a specific room.
Agree with you.also, I drink but my wife doesn’t, so it never pays for both of us to get Plus or Premier. I was able to buy a drink package just for me on a Royal Caribbean cruise once, & a drink package for me & soda for my wife by calling their customer service pre cruise another time.
The one time we visited, we just walked off the ship to the town, which is right off the pier. There is a beach with calm waters where you can rent chairs/umbrellas; all within sight of the ship. Everything is conveniently located. Nice quiet, relaxing day.
I don’t know, it may have something to do with desalinization. I know that my ankles also always swell on a cruise. I tried bottled water & it only helped a little, probably due to having Jack on the rocks everyday. My cardiologist says it could also be due to salt in their cooking.
