Lessons Being Learned
Thisguylikestocruise replied to ahill13's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Board Wonder in 9 days, once we return my wife will need surgery. No trip insurance, but thankfully it’s not urgent enough to stop us from going. I’m definitely getting the insurance next time. -
If you’re on now, I think there’s a lot of kids because of a Jewish celebration. That’s why solarium bistro has been closed.

If you look on the app, “select a different cruise”, “browse our ships”, and select that ships sailing date with a similar itinerary that you’re interested in, it will show the excursions offered under the daily planner or excursions tab, especially if it’s a current cruise. Gives a rough idea what’s offered at ports.

Wonder of the Seas ~ Show Reservations
Thisguylikestocruise replied to CGBanks's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I booked my Wonder shows January 1st for February 5th cruise. The pattern seems to be you can book reservations online the first day of the month, the calendar month before the cruise. So if your cruise is March 5th, reservations would open February 1st. Cruise planner or app under “entertainment.” -
Windjammer...any cutbacks?
Thisguylikestocruise replied to Bluewake's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The hospital I work at has an awful cafeteria. It’s sad what they give patients, quality and quantity has really gone down due to cost cutting. I’ll take the windjammer any day. -

Port Canaveral - Cruise Term #5
Thisguylikestocruise replied to baldilocks's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean uses a few different terminals there. The assigned terminal is in the guest ticket booklet they email you. -
Drink package and tips
Thisguylikestocruise replied to lucky1ns's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Can you use the drink package at specialty restaurants without buying their food? I see Wonderland, Playmakers, Izumi have their own unique drinks, plus there’s Giovanni’s wine bar. -
Drink package and tips
Thisguylikestocruise replied to lucky1ns's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Got the deluxe beverage package for my first time. Is there a receipt to sign after each transaction? Also, can you carry a bottle of beer over to Sorrentos to have with pizza, or does it need to stay at the bar? -

Good to hear. Will be on Odyssey in 2024 for my first Greek Isles cruise. -
Liberty of the Seas - Super Bowl 2023?
Thisguylikestocruise replied to daninwi's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I don’t know about that ship. Oasis had it playing in the Royal Theater a few years ago, and had complimentary snacks. -
Top 5 Overrated RC things
Thisguylikestocruise replied to Husky1987's topic in Royal Caribbean International
1. Constant sales that have countdown when they end in 2 days, 6 hours, 37 minutes, 3 seconds. 2. Paying a stranger hundreds of dollars to give you a glorified back rub. 3. $1,200 Deluxe beverage package for convenience and to “save” money. The only way to save is if you get drunk everyday and are lucky enough not to get cirrhosis of the liver. 4. Automatic gratuities months or years before receiving service. Imagine going to a restaurant on land and giving the waiter a tip, and saying, “this is for my dinner 2 years from now.” Crazy!! 5. Booking a virtual balcony while on a ship at sea. -
What is your next cruise booked for 2023?
Thisguylikestocruise replied to thefog's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Wonder OTS, February 2023. -
I’ve been on a grocery budget lately trying to save money, and shop mainly at Aldi. I’ll appreciate whatever they have on Wonder in a couple months.

Super Bowl party onboard ?
Thisguylikestocruise replied to Tazdeb2180's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Oasis in 2017 had Super Bowl playing in the royal theatre. There was complimentary food like you’d expect at a Super Bowl party. -

Thanks everyone, very helpful tips. Great pictures @bonsai3s. Yes, my wife and I have been to Rome. Spent 2 weeks there for our honeymoon in 2011, including a trip to Capri. The plan is 4 nights in Rome pre cruise, for nostalgia. 5 nights in Florence post cruise. After all these comments and looking at pictures of Acropolis, I think I'll get off at every port, and get back on the ship early in a couple places. I do enjoy ancient history. That's too bad Santorini is that congested, however I feel like I need to see it, as it might be my only opportunity. The ship is in Santorini 13 hours, 7am-8pm. Hopefully that's enough time to explore Oia and get good pictures. On the "explore itinerary" tab when I booked it said Mykonos is tendered. You're saying it's not? That's good news, probably will explore on my own, without an excursion there.
