Yes best call RCI if you booked direct and they can arrange tables for your group in advance, if booked with a TA they should do this for you. It is much easier if bookings are linked but that could cause a whole lot of other issues with so many people 5 families in the group.

 

If your group all booked separate RCI will not recognize you has a group but if all 5 families have the same dinning time then its possible they already know you are a group.

 

Early seating for fixed dinning can be very popular because its favored by both families and show goers.

 

Make sure you all join Crown & Anchor and put down your preferences for sleeping arrangements eating preference as well as any if any special needs,also mark down your upgrade preference, if you chose cabins next to or near each other and want to keep them its best to tick "no upgrades" you can always change your C&A preferences at any time,so if next cruise you would accept an upgrade and want late dinner you just change.

 

I could imagine seated seperate may be a "God send" towards the cruise end. lol

Lol that might be right. Maybe kids on one side of the dining room and adults on the other! ;)

For theme nights, there's no requirement to bring clothing to match. Simplest is usually white night, and tropical, but as they don't list them in advance they don't require dress-ups, though of course you're welcome to.

Thanks so much :)

4. Soda package - can you only get refills if you have your souvenir cup? So thinking you would need to go back to your cabin and get the cup before you could get a drink...seems silly to me. Is this correct?

 

 

No, you can get a soft drink in an ordinary glass at any bar

Thanks! :)

You dont need to carry your soda cups you can get glasses of soda from every bar and dinning rooms its on your sea pass.

Thanks! That makes more sense to me! The guy at the calll centre seemed to have no idea!

Thanks so much! :D

Hi, we’re off on Voyager of the Seas from Sydney in March. First time on RCI. Hard to get a straight answer out of their call centre, so I thought I would ask here...

1. main dining room. Can you only book for 5.45 or 7.15? Or perhaps they are the only times left. At the moment we have My Time dining - does this mean you turn up at any time and wait for a table? My issue is we have 5 families travelling together (17 ppl) so I’m guessing it would be a long wait...

2. What time do the nightly shows start, as a rough guide?

3. Any theme nights on board? Call centre was very vague and suggested I pack something for a 70’s and 90’s night (what even would you take for a 90’s night?!)

4. Soda package - can you only get refills if you have your souvenir cup? So thinking you would need to go back to your cabin and get the cup before you could get a drink...seems silly to me. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance for any help! :D

That’s great, thanks so much Ken 😀

They can pick and choose between the 2 menu's too. There are 2 formal nights and maybe one night that is Caribbean theme but not many do anything special for that night.

Thanks so much! :)

Thanks!

Hi, we’re booked to cruise on Voyager of the Seas in March next year. Just wondering if there are any Theme nights on board? Also, what is the food in the dining room like - kid friendly? Thanks :)

Thanks Keith, will do

Hi, long time reader, first time poster! We are cruising on Voyager of the Seas in March next year. Previously we’ve been on P & O and had heaps of fun at their theme nights (Gatsby, White party etc). Do Royal Caribbean do anything similar? Also, what is the food like in the dining room? Thanks :)
