The launch has been delayed at least two maybe three times.  Royal wasn’t at fault.

No, Independence is Freedom class.  Free Voom only on Quantum and Oasis class

Weak

A falcon nine rocket launch was suppose to happen tonight at 6:11.  Due to a cruise ship being in the red zone they cancelled the launch.  

I saved $960 on our cruise when checking for price drops yesterday. 

Does independence of The Seas include free internet for Sky class suites?

It’s been three weeks since I cancelled my cruise. I have received credit for my cruise planner purchases but not my cruise fare.  How long

has your wait been?  I need it by Feb 25th to pay my fare for the replacement cruise.

I'm on Harmony next week-- watching this thread closely.  

We were and cancelled right after Xmas. Rebooked for the end of March hopefully things will be better.  Have a great cruise!

We will be sailing on the independence as a suite guest. Do they have a private dining room for embarkation Lunch  for suite guests?

I left a message 4 days ago haven’t heard a peep just crickets. 

Does the Independence of the Seas have a Coastal Kitchen for dinner or a equivalent?

Goodbye: I had a really good Indian dish for breakfast in WJ. Sambhar, it had eggplant in it. 
 

We had the last time slot for departure. They called it early and pretty much everything was opened up. We didn’t want to hold up the room being cleaned so we left.  This led to a small amount of congestion leaving the ship. The new facial recognition for US Customs  is awesome. It was so fast. 
 

There were two shuttles from Cruisetime waiting for us. So we hopped right on and away we went. 
 

Since we were heading over to my parents for a few days we had scheduled a Covid test at the Merrit Island Walgreens. We were an hour early for the test, but no one was in line so they took us early. This pharmacy tech did a much better job explaining and watching than our local one did.
 

We started  the drive over to the Gulf and got our negative results an hour into the trip. It was a nice drive. Google sent us south of I-4 and it was a pretty, rural drive. It then drove us right through the old downtown Kissimmee. It’s really cute! 

Bon voyage everyone!

Thank you very much for your review. We’re sailing the independence at the end of March and their are precious few reviews thank you!!!

My family is staying in a two bedroom Grand Suite on the independence of the Seas.   We tried to book a 6:30 dinner reservation and all times have been taken and we were waitlisted.  As a suite guest can we get the time we requested once onboard?

Yes, it is.

Why?

If you cancel a cruise can you book a future cruise using the future cruise credit you just received on the same phone call?

Why did you create another thread?

 

 

Is it really your concern?

We’re sailing on Harmony 1/16  curious about the State of the ship.  Are shows happening?

So, you think people cruise for production shows only?  Really?  The OP's post was about getting his "money's worth".  How many people do you know that cruise only for production shows?  Sorry that the CDC's rules are forcing RCI to make changes.

The point I was trying to make is that your paying for a premium product on the Oasis class ships, if the product isn’t being delivered why pay the premium price?   Would you pay for a hamburger at steak

Prices simply because their out of steaks? 

I think Royal should be more transparent with what’s going on with each ship.

For me if I wanted entertainment, I would have gone to Las Vegas.

Love their shows and food.

Enjoy your cruise.

Maybe they wanted both which is a big selling point for cruises. 

Please don’t tell me how to value my vacation.  We pay the premium price for an Oasis class ship to experience the entertainment it offers.  

I was curious if the Production shows have been scaled back IE Aquatheater, and main production shows?   I would cancel if that's the case we wouldn't be getting our moneys worth without a price reduction. 

Was the quarantine cabin a balcony stateroom?

Heaven forbid if you test positive for Covid during your pre-cruise test what is Royals policy in regards to your cruise fare.  Does everyone in your reservation get a cash refund or a cruise credit or neither ?

Saved mucho on Oasis lagoon Cabana, soda package, and internet package.  Save substantially. 

We have a cruise scheduled for January 16 2022, when Will the entertainment be announced on the Cruise Planner?
