Here is what happened. I went back to my reservation at Royal and that offer was not there. I called and they added it. Good deal.

Guess what. I went to my cruise planner for Harmony Oct 6 and I cannot find that package. Do they do "pop up" sales for something like that?

Thanks Bob--G&T is my favorite drink. Even if the tip is added it is still about $7 per drink. THAT IS THE CHEAPEST DRINK ON ROYAL!!

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE AND TONIC PACKAGE

$48.00

This package includes: (1) 375 ml. bottle of Bombay Sapphire and 4 Tonic water cans.

This seems like a good deal for me--what do you think? A 1.5 once shot is 44 ml so that is over 8 drinks from the bottle. That is $6 per drink!!! It says it is for "in cabin" consumption--do they send someone to your cabin to monitor??? Any comments? Do you think there is 18% tip added to the package?

Nice surprise--we are sailing on Harmony Oct 6.

Sailing on Harmony this Oct--enjoy your review.

It starts with www. then has complete name of this cruise line then the word "blog" then ".com" then slash "menu"

OK---CC will not allow this link--sorry.

I don't know if anyone has ever posted the reference to this webpage.

No one is better HOST CLAREA Bob is always the best for all of his analysis.

Thanks to all of you--looks like suite check -in is inside the building.

Sailing on Allure this Sunday out of FLL. Have Owners Suite. Where should I tell taxi to drop us off for suite guest check in? Sail Pass doesn't seem to say.

I am a little bit "low tech". We will have free Vroom in our Sky Suite (which means we will have free Wifi). That means we will be able to use Skype to call our friends on land. My question is how do we send pictures using the Vroom Wifi or some other Wifi app. We use Verizon for cell phone if that makes a difference,

Bob said "one device PER GUEST in a suite"---sounds like you will get 2 sign ins if you are 2 people in a Sky suite.

Bob--Do you only get one device for Vroom if you are in Sky?

Thanks for the replies. Still trying to know if bottled water is given out in the Suites Lounge?

Sailing on Allure this June in an Owners Suite. I know we get some bottled water when we arrive in cabin, but, can we get bottled water in the Suite Lounge? How much is water on board Allure if we have to buy (I know there is a bottled water package)? Also, how much is soft drinks/Virgin Mary drinks for the kids? Can we still bring 2 bottles of wine on board?

kchiumento---are you monitoring on CC?

KCHIUMENTO---Is lobster on the Haven restaurant menu every night?

Thank you kchiumento--I appreciate that picture very much. I thought the sofa in the living room could be configured to also sleep 2 people. Ask your cabin steward. If I am correct, then the 2 bedroom could sleep 7 people--interesting! Would also appreciate any "must do's" in the Haven area and favorite foods so far.

We are in Haven 2 bedroom on Sep 17 with 2 grandkids.

Do all of the H4 cabins on Escape (Haven 2 bedroom Family Villa), have a pulldown bed (from ceiling)?

Sounds like a great group.

HI

 

Can anyone tell me if you can call the upsell department yourself if you are booked with a TA?

 

We are from Australia, is there a international number that anyone knows of?

 

thanks

Do not know of an international number, but, yes you can call that 800 number for upsell department even if you booked thru a TA. Upsell is only open 9 am- 5 pm Monday -Friday. You are probably sleeping then. Most people have luck between 2-4 weeks prior to cruise, but some people start calling a month out and call every day.

The sweet spot for Haven upgrades seems to be about 3-4 weeks out. I upgraded from Mini Suite to Haven Spa Suite at 24 days out. No experiences in upgrading to non Haven rooms though.

Can you give us the price for the Haven upsell?

Also take a look at category M6 (Mini Suite with large balcony)--you do not get any Haven amenities, but, your balcony will be over 100 sq feet vs about 33 sq feet in any other balcony cabin. It will be on deck 8 which is close to Waterfront and many restaurants. The M6 balcony has a small table with 2 chairs AND 2 chaise lounge chairs. This choice will save you a lot of money vs the Haven.
