Thank you all for your very valubale tips, they are much appreciated. I have been watching youtube clips, i suspect this is going to be the start of a new addiction! :)

Welcome to CC, RCI and cruising! Best vacation values according to my DH. I concur the drink packages are on the longer cruise.

 

Don't over pack clothes and take more money. Use the compass to decide what you want to do the next day. Use this as an opportunity to try foods you might never try at home. They will give you more than one entrée, dessert, etc!

 

I want to get on early so the vacation can begin and dislike when I have to get off early to end the vacation! Enjoy and check back so we know you had a great time!

Thank you for the tips! We are parking onsite and leaving most of our clothes in our cases, just going to take one case between us. We have got a two week stay in orlando after the cruise. Looking at staying at the hilton cocoa beach the night before the cruise.

Yes, the soda package is available on 3 night cruises. Since they are younger than 18, their cost would be $4.50 per day, plus 15%. There are at least Coke Freestyle machines on Enchantment that they can use with the soda package.

Thank you, and thank you for your help.

I dont believe the package is available on 3 night cruises :o If you just enjoy a cocktail once in a while you are better of just paying by the drink in my honest opinion.

Thank you, thats one thing on my list sorted! Do you know if the soda package is available for our daughters on the three day cruise? Sorry i am clueless when it comes to cruises!

Next year will be our first ever cruise, first of many hopefully! We have booked a three day cruise on Enchantment of the seas for September 2015, deck four room 4546. If anyone could give us some first cruise tips and any reviews on this deck/room, we would be most grateful!

Sailing will be myself, my husband and two daughters aged 15 and 17. We are not big drinkers but enjoy the odd cocktail, is it worth buying the drinks package for the cocktails or just buy as we go? Thank you in advance for any information!

Royal caribbean have released Sept 2015 today, this will be our first cruise. We are doing a three or a four day bahamas cruise from port canaveral.

I am just wondering if we should book now or hold out to see if they have any deals on? Do cruise prices tend to go up rather than down? Thanks. :D

Checked on Royal Caribbean this morning and they have released up until April 2016, yet still no September 2015. I have received a message back on Facebook off the RC page stating that September is not going on sale. We are tied to travelling in September so looks like its a no cruise for us!:(

We are waiting for September 2015 to be released! I keep checking everyday to see if they have been put up yet! Fingers crossed they will be released soon, as i am so impatient!;)

WOW! If i wasnt excited already for our first cruise i am extra excited now! Think i will look at sailing out of Miami instead of Port Carnaveral. :)

Thank you for all the information, we are going to book a balcony room as ive looked at the inside rooms and i am worried i might feel a bit claustraphopbic in one! They are probably ok, but i like the look of the balcony.

We have been holidaying in florida for a few years and got married on cocoa beach, ive always fancied doing a cruise but its took me a while to presuade my husband! Our two daughters age 17 and 15 at the time of travelling will be coming with us, is one room big enough for a family of four?

Thank you all for your replies, i will just keep looking and hopefully they will release the dates soon. I was looking at a four day one as well, so will probably go for that one.:)

Hi i am new to this forum. Looking at getting lots of tips for our first cruise next year.:) i am just wondering if anyone can help as I'm new to cruising. I messaged Royal Caribbean on Facebook asking when they will be releasing September 2015 sailing dates. We are looking to do a three day bahamas cruise from Port Canaveral as a taster, we will then have two weeks in a villa. The reply i got was "sorry september 2015 is no longer on sale, we hope you can find an alternative date to suit your needs". Are the short cruises being stopped from Port Canaveral? We where really looking forward to our first mini cruise! Thank you in advance for any reply's! :)
