That is great to hear. Thanks for the info. 

People have been reporting this for earlier itineraries as well.  The cruise I was looking at was like this for two weeks or more and finally now the glitch has been fixed.  

I have been trying to compare prices as I have already booked Princess Plus fare on my booking. I'm not able to pull up the Princess Plus rate even when chosen beforehand.  It automatically prices the standard fare.  There must be a glitch somewhere.  This has been happening for a couple of days.  

Thank you so much. That would be great to see pictures and hear first hand everything that has been done. 

I am waiting for this information as well.

Would love to know what is planned for POA drydock.

Anyone?? 

Thank you so much for this very thorough review.  We are booked for 2021 and already making notes from all your suggestions.

Does anyone know what will be done on the May 2020 refurbishment?  Staterooms, public areas???

Thanks

I just read your blog and thoroughly enjoyed it.  So much information.  I can't even imagine the effort and time it must have taken you to do it.  Thank you!

Thank you.  This is very useful information.

I am also interested in the replies to this question.  We will be on Emerald and I don't think they have ebikes (just normal bikes) and are considering the ride from Melk to Durnstein, also 3 1/2 hours.

We did online waivers last year on Freedom and when our granddaughter went to go skating with the teen group her dad didn't go with her and assumed it was all done. She wasn't able to skate because they couldn't access the waiver. No problem, she just watched and did it the next time but I would advise going with any child/teen that first time to be sure it is all OK.

I’m Canadian as well and have booked Emerald for 2019. Amsterdam to Budapest on recommendation from very well travelled TA. I’ve researched Emerald to the extreme and am very comfortable with the choice based on reviews etc. Price couldn’t be beat and we loved the fact that all tips were included

Thank you for posting this very informative review of your day. Gave lots of info I was interested in.

One reason it might be very busy is it is Reading Week for many universities in Ontario and other parts of Canada .

I don’t think jet skiing is an option as someone suggested. We tried to book our granddaughter who is 8 as a passenger and was told she had to be 10.

Thank you for the great review. What airline did you use for the return flight? Was it a non stop flight?

Anyone have an idea how long the 20% off will apply? We don't sail till Dec 2017 and aren't sure about purchasing it this soon. It's a great savings though for 4 adults.

Thank you. I wasn't really aware that for beer there is only certain types that apply to the beverage packages. I just thought it would be like the wines and that if it was over the amount you paid the difference. Now I know....so much to learn.

Thanks for that info. So if we order something that is higher than $12 we would pay the difference? Are there beers over $12? Does anyone have the actual menu with the selections and prices?

Thanks again

We are new to Royal and are booked on Freedom of the Seas. Interested in knowing what the beer prices and selections are in Bull and Bear Pub and if they are included in the Premium or Ultimate Beverage packages. Thanks for your help.

Just off the Coral and found the MDR a disappointment compared to a few years ago. Specialty restaurants were excellent as well as the Crab Shack. Food in the MDR was never hot, even the soups. I agree it is like wedding/banquet food.

We were on the June 11-18 sailing northbound and the first day had an issue with hot water in our shower. We reported it to the Customer Service Desk and it was resolved in a couple of hours. We were on Caribe forward.

I plan on bringing a purse as well as my backpack and my husband will bring his backpack. I've been told by others who have done this that it won't be a problem. Let's hope so!

We planned this trip five years ago and had to cancel due to health issues one month prior to sailing so this trip has been researched to the fullest. we are doing the exact trip this time but added the meal plan. I'll post the highlights and things most people are asking after the trip.
