If this is your first cruise you might want to consider booking your massage for a little later. Sail away is an exciting time (especially for a first time) and I'd hate for you to miss it while in the spa.

Thanks so much for the advice! I changed it to 5:15. :)

The muster drill will before that and you'll have time at 4pm.

Great, thanks!

FLTeacher is on a 4 night Majesty cruise next Monday.

 

No specialty restaurants on Majesty. (no, Johnny Rockets does NOT count as "specialty dining" ;) :D ) All of your food is included in your cruise fare except Johnny Rockets.

 

The ship will go to CocoCay, where a beverage package will work beautifully. Avoid the souvenir glasses, though - NOT included in the package.

 

Drink cards are not offered on every ship or on every sailing. You may or may not see them. Go into your Cruise Planner on your My Cruises page on the RC website and see what price they are charging for the beverage package. Lots of discounts being reported lately.

 

The ship is scheduled to SAIL at 4 P.M. No massages until at least six, and then it's dinner time. Get your massage on the one sea day, FLTeacher. :)

Yikes, I'm just reading this, and I already signed up for the 4:00 massage on the ship. Why would they offer this time if it's not do-able? I wanted to do it the first day because that is when it is the cheapest.

As many you want.

Oh, nice! Thank you! :)

1. Boarding is allowed as early as 11:30-12n. Your room will be available at 1:00pm

2. Read about the beverage package http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/experiencetypes/category.do?pagename=onboard_cat_dining_options&icid=hpnvbr_pagehe_dnn_hm_awaren_946

 

3. Ask to be seated at a large table for dining. You'll meet lots of people.

4. Fees are incurred at Specialty Dining venues, not MDR or Windjammer.

 

Have a great time!!

I'm still confused about the beverage package. How many $12 drinks do you get per day?

Thank you so much, John! So helpful! :)

I'm sorry for the newbie questions, but I will be going on a cruise for the first time next week, and a lot of things aren't clear to me. Any help is appreciated!

1. How early can you board the ship? I was wanting to get a massage at 4:00, and that is when the itinerary states we board the ship. I wasn't clear on this.

2. What exactly does the deluxe beverage package entail? The only info I could find was 40% and 20% off wines. And what is the difference between this and the 10 drink card?

3. I'm traveling solo. Any tips so that I don't feel like a leper? ;)

4. If I dine anywhere other than the main dining room, will I incur fees?

Any other tips are appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your suggestion! Right now 8:30 was the only available option for dining because I booked late.

I am traveling on Majesty of the Seas as a solo traveler next week. I've also never been on a cruise before. Any suggestions? I honestly have no idea what to expect and don't want to eat dinner by myself every night. Thanks in advance!
