Welcome to CC.

You might get some ideas in the ports of call section.

Follow the 2024-2025 deployment thread.

Same as above from above.

The same as Oasis class but the pattern is reversed.

The two on deck 4 - usually starts around 6:30.

Which port was that?

You may want to contact those folks directly because I don’t think they were regular CC posters. @Matt Hochbergmight have some info.

The RCI FAQ is usually pretty good at addressing your question and others: Can guests bring aerial drones onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship? A Yes. Guests are welcome to bring drones on their cruise for use on land only and outside of the port area. However, drones are not to be operated onboard the ship at any time, nor on Royal Caribbean’s private destinations: Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas or Labadee®, Haiti. While onboard, drones must be stored safely in the stateroom. Drones used on the ship will be confiscated until the end of the cruise. A Guest Conduct Policy warning will be issued and guests may be subject to disembarkation at their own expense for onboard drone usage. Guests assume full responsibility for understanding all local authority rules related to drone usage and for obtaining any required permissions for drone operations. Different countries may have different rules. Any liability, including environmental damage from drone usage is the guest’s responsibility. Royal Caribbean assumes no liability for guest drones that may be confiscated by local authorities for violating local laws or for any accident or injury resulting from a guest drone flight.

Use a TA site other than RCI's - Oasis class ships typically do this all the time from Florida.

Read the RCI web site policy for US departures and be ready for further easing of protocols.

The door may allow slightly more noise from the connecting cabin (compared to a wall), but it depends on your neighbor (which you usually can't fix) and the sealing around the door (which may be fixable if missing/damaged). The safe thing to do is grab the non-connecting cabin.

That's why I asked - not very useful if you need an off the ship data connection to order.

Could you confirm that works on ship wifi only?

Royal Caribbean International’s Mariner of the Seas has been forced to change ports of call due to a medical emergency that caused the ship to divert earlier this week. Now, the ship will no longer call on Labadee, Haiti, as planned, but will instead spend two days at the cruise line’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. Medical Evacuation Causes Delay The Voyager-class Mariner of the Seas is currently sailing a 5-night roundtrip “Eastern Caribbean Perfect Day” itinerary, having departed from Port Canaveral on Monday, October 24, 2022. The itinerary was to have included a day at sea on Tuesday, a visit to Labadee, Haiti on Wednesday, another day at sea on Thursday, and a visit to CocoCay on Friday, before returning to Port Canaveral on Saturday, October 29. Very early on Tuesday, however, the ship had to divert to Fort Lauderdale for a medical emergency. According to guests onboard, the ship’s captain announced at approximately 12:15 a.m. Tuesday morning that the ship needed to turn around for the medical evacuation. To safeguard privacy related to the medical emergency, neither the name of the party nor the nature of the emergency has been disclosed. Tracking data later show the ship docked at Port Everglades, at which time the individual would have been debarked and transferred to local medical facilities for further treatment. The cruise line has not announced whether it was a guest or crew member who required medical treatment. As Tuesday was a day at sea on the ship’s itinerary, this did not have an appreciable impact on Tuesday’s activities, but the ship is now unable to reach Labadee in time for the scheduled port of call from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Labadee, on the northern coast of Haiti, is 660 miles (1,062 kilometers) from Port Everglades, though ships must actually travel more than 700 miles (1,127 km) between the ports to follow a safe, navigable route. Ports of Call Changed Instead of calling on Labadee on Wednesday, Mariner of the Seas is taking the day at sea at a leisurely pace. To make up for the missed port, the ship will now visit CocoCay, the cruise line’s private island destination in The Bahamas, twice, docking both on Thursday and Friday. This gives guests extra time to enjoy one of the most popular ports of call for Royal Caribbean ships. The timing of each day’s visit has not been clarified, but Friday’s port times are likely to remain the same as planned on the original itinerary – 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday’s time in port may be similar, or could vary depending on preparations for the extended and unexpected visit, as well as docking arrangements.

100% capacity on Q class is about 4200 (a bit higher on Q+).

Royal Caribbean Group plans to report third quarter financial results and provide a business update on Nov. 3. The company scheduled a conference call for 10 a.m. EDT that day. The call will be simulcast at www.rclinvestor.com.

Look at the current sailing in the app to see the show lineup and other Compass info. Liberty has O3B internet like the newer ships and may have Starlink by the time you sail.

Maybe a balloon drop and some overpriced event/dining.

Some IT error likely caused the time listing - you can probably find the vendor who Royal uses and contact them for the times.

There’s your answer.

Same as anyone else and has been in the past- somewhere around 5-6 alcoholic drinks above any free ones.

You never had traditional early if you can make MTD reservations. You need to stick to one or the other - you usually can’t switch between them after the first day on board.
