My wife and I will have 3 meal access to the OS Coastal Kitchen. I understand it would not be complimentary but is getting an early morning Bloody Mary in the Coastal Kitchen - possible?

Alcohol usually isn't available until 11.

What is the difference between couples all cruise pass and ultimate pass?

Ultimate includes a mud ritual and a separate hour in the couples hot tub.

Does vintages still have the tapas menu. If I recall it had a pick 4 or 5 different tapas for a decent price

Yes, Powerade is available. Both in bottles and on ships with the Coke Freestyle machine. Included in Deluxe package and with Refreshment Package.

Freestyle is included in Soda Package

Hi guys

 

We have the deluxe drinks package included in our trip but were wondering does this cover drinks ordered when in the speciality fee paying restaurants on board or do you have to pay for those extra?

 

Thanks in advance

It will be included up to the value allowed by the package. Any excess is payable but most drinks are included.

Ok a similar question but with a twist,my Wife will be having the deluxe package as she does drink,I don't but do enjoy an alcohol free beer or two,I have contacted RCI customer service asking if any of their packages covered that but they seemed to side step it & only mention alcohol free cocktails or sodas in their reply,does anybody know from experience if they are included in any of the packages please guys?

Alcohol free beer still has trace amouts of alcohol. It is included in Deluxe plan but not refreshment package.

Royal Caribbean requires each passenger in the same cabin to buy the drink package, even if only one wants it. You may be able to get an exception for a good reason by calling Royal Caribbean.

Refreshment package doesn't require both passengers only alcohol packages do.

No, if he has your Seapass he can get you a drink and pay for his separately.

We were in a Crown Loft Suite on Allure last year. 2 people were involved in servicing our room not one. I don't have knowledge of how the extra $3 gratuity is distributed but this might be one of many reasons why suite guests are charged more.

Also on Oasis class you have CK and SL staff and conceierge.

Pardon to hijack this thread but we are in a GS on HOTS in September and I keep wondering if it is worth an extra $2000 to move up to an OS. We have been in a GS before and are content with that but have never tried an OS.

Not in my opinion.

Licensed Starbucks are on Oasis and Quantum ships only and do not accept any packages. They will take Starbucks gift cards though. Cafe Promenade is in the package but will not have the exact same drinks as a Starbucks and may not use Starbucks coffee.

Any should be able to accommodate you if you let them know in advance. I would also let the special needs department know in advance and the maitre d know so they can guide her through her meals.

Park lunch is usually Giovanni's.

150 Park is a good choice too but even Chops can a accommodate dietary restrictions! Enjoy!!

Yes, there are lots of options. I would email special needs at Royal and let the main dining room know. They have lots of Indian choices, pasta, tuti salad on sea days and many of the chefs will prepare something special when you speak with them. Careful of the soups as many are made w broth. Sorentos had vegan cheese !!

Is Park Cafe open for embarkation day lunch?

Yes, it normally is.

Dining packages can be purchased up to 3 days before your cruise. No guarantee of a deal, if available on your ship may or may not be the same price.

Thank you Judy and everyone else. They have their own cabin.. .. I think my husband would divorce me if we had to share!! You guys are awesome.. lots of good suggestions and information... I have another question... I believe there is an adult only pool (or 16 and over?)... is that correct, which one is it and how difficult is it to get lounges on the sea days?

 

Oh, the link doesn't work :(

The Solarium is a covered area that is 16 over and has hot tubs etc. Solarium bistro restaurant is complimentary breakfast and lunch and open to anyone and is usually not crowded.

Have yet to hear a report of anyone actually being charged but they could.

Agree, not aware of any corkage charges being charged.

2 per cabin. Corkage fee could be charged if consumed outside cabin but rarely is;)

Why not simply book a Junior Suite GTY. That way the OP gets the concierge lounge access they apparently value as well as the show reservations and slightly larger room all for a cost that is only fractionally larger than a standard balcony. That is what we did and we were fortunate enough to have been upgrades to a Grand Suite at that price. This way they pay a lower price & get the Suite benefits they value and if they also get bumped up, it's a "freebie" benefit.

 

PS - We don't like or even want the butler's or Genie's that come with some of the suites as we simply have no need nor desire to have an individual catering to us. Rather than feeling pampered, we end up feeling uncomfortable. Note: that I DO realize that Genie's don't come with GSs but one did come with our prior NCL cruise who's cabin was IDENTICAL in size and layout to the Royal GS so we were actually relieved to learn that the GS doesn't have a Genie assigned.

JS doesn't get CL access on Oasis class. You get CK for dinner if space allows. Need GS or above for SL/CK on Oasis and Quantum class.

I would have her carry her driver's license.

I had never heard of Cricut. How much did these shirts cost to make. Many custom T-shirt places charge at least $50 for small one time orders. This looks like it might be more affordable.

 

I won't be making a guess, but enjoy your cruise.

Cricut, it's a machine that cuts out images for craft projects.

It's up to the Captain. We've changed ship time on some Caribbean cruises, and not changed others. Same itinerary.

So, I learned something new! I've never had the time change on board but could see that on a TA cruise, for example!

Doesn't always stay the same as Port you left. Can change on Royal once or twice as Caribbean cruises I sail do...

Time zones change, ship time does not.

Ship time is usually based on the time zone from your departure port. It remains the same during the cruise. As Bob pointed out, Seattle and San Francisco are the same time zone.

It was not full on our sailing. However, no discounts were offered.
