Itchy&Scratchy

I can buy 2-3 20 packet boxes Twinnings, Bigelow or Ahmad tea for $8. That's a lot of tea. Every day. And we love tea - we usually have 4+ hot teas every day.

and what do they have to do with the loss of the coffee card packages right now?

because only selected few will be traveling on the Sun Princess? Everybody else wants their coffee cards on OTHER ships and they want them now. Not in a "rendering." P.S. "Let them eat cake!"

if it were in the wrong portal, why did RCI customer service people answer people's questions about it?

that would still be great, but the kid and I really wanted that all access tour. 🙂 My crystal ball says we get nothing.

nothing special about the menu and fewer choices, but sometimes it's less crowded until people discover it. And it's pretty. Yes, kids can eat there.

sold out on our April 2 oasis as well.

they are still making money. I wouldn't pay for a stand alone internet package due to the high price. But I purchased the package because we want the ship tour and we also get the internet package and the wine (not that we like wine at all). We will most likely not need the laundry, unless something weird happens, because we bring enough clothes and still pack very efficiently.

that's about the loungers on the ship around the pool. Very limited supply. On Cococay you won't have that problem - plus, you are expected to get a lounger and then have fun all around all day.

in 2025? Nobody can tell this far in advance, but we always sail the Caribbean itineraries the first week of April (school holiday), and we've never had bad weather. With the climate changes - who knows what it's going to be like in 2 years.

Liberty Passenger Capacity 3,634 Freedom Passenger Capacity 4,375 Perhaps, not quite 9K people. we were there with Indy and Harmony - we found a nice spot for 5 people, and we didn't even get off the ship anywhere near "right away", and we first went to chill island for a bit, and then moved to breezy bay.

I eat at least 2 goat cheese souffle appetizers as appetizers. No waste here. I even lick the plate. Oh, and I always regret ordering only two. Since we sail on Princess once a year at the most, and they don't even have this souffle on all of their sailings, I just don't get enough of this dish!

well, yeah, if you order 2 drinks for the same person on the same medallion....

sometimes this strategy doesn't work with 3 yo kids. heck, mine is 12 and is still not adventurous with food, so the adult menu is mostly wasted on him. does she drink milk? I believe the buffets have Minute Maid drink machines with "orange juice" and some other fruit flavored stuff.

and this one was simply epic! watch the video. It'll speak for itself. 🙂

Caribbean Princess was old back in 2016 when we sailed on her. We wouldn't be sailing on an old ship ever again. But if you choose to sail on an old ship, you should be prepared for her age to show in unfavorable way. We just had the most wonderful cruise on Enchanted 3 months ago. The medallion worked, ordering worked, food was great, MDR service was slow, shows were new and good, etc.

it was a glitch, not a subsidy. Our non-glitchy prices are just as high.

our menus (Oasis in 3 weeks) have been up for a long time.

are you sure? I didn't even receive an email for my April 2 oasis cruise when they opened for booking, but most shows kept flickering in and out of existence for 2 days. I finally made all the reservations 2 days after they opened 29 days out. None of them were sold out "hours after they opened".

plated. I believe on the Allure Solarium Bistro turns into Samba Grill ($$) for dinner. Solarium Bistro dinner menu: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/menus/solarium-bistro-menu-sample.pdf

they now provide free umbrellas - look at the photo link I posted

I think the menu is self explanatory.... plain vs. fancy.

it does NOT include bottled or canned water.
