Should not be an issue. It’s generally when the water is at the hottest. July and Aug.

We definitely do not buy it for the food. We love the relaxed atmosphere all week. Zero chaos. Although we have had some great meals in specialty. We get on board and reserve all our dinners and for lunch we just walk in and enjoy late night desserts at playmakers.

Yes I have gotten the key and realized what a waste it was. I realized you can get internet cheaper by purchasing more under the same name. So I frequently buy 4 packages and sell. So it is a win win for everyone. I did it on 3 cruises this year. I will not go to windjammer at anytime and love the specialty dining. Is the food great, No but the relaxed atmosphere all week we love. The key gave me fruit in my room. Wow. They take my carryon to my room, who cares I was eating and rooms were open right after. Times for any of the activities was a joke, and sitting in the same seats that are for free was zero help. We still showed up early for seats together. Getting on early makes know difference either because we are diamond now. If I am with my son I do not need to purchase interest or dining we get it free now that he is an employee.

Try to help people save money. Especially new cruisers who spend all this money they don’t need. The key will never be something I would tell people to spend their money on.

I am diamond too. I can’t even drink my 4. Lol

That’s still a lot to drink without one sea day. I am on the cruise after you.

The refreshment package is $20 a day it includes everything the deluxe beverage package has except alcohol. The specialty coffee, soda, mock tails, smoothies, shakes, water and juice is included in both packages. So if you spend $70 a day on The deluxe beverage package you need to consume 4 to 5 alcohol drinks per day to break even. $50 a day in just alcohol. Of course if you’re diamond it would not make sense because you get 4 drinks a day. So I buy the $20 and get 4 free alcohol drinks a day.

U can get the refreshment package at $20 a day. It includes everything the DBP includes except alcohol. If you spend $70 on a alcohol package that means u must spent $50 on just alcohol drinks in a day. So u must drink around 4-5 alcohol drinks per day to call it even. All the other drinks don’t matter because it includes The soda, specialty coffees, smoothies, shakes, water, and juices in the $20 package. I never drink all that and 4-5 alcohol drinks too in a day. Now I am diamond so not even close to worth it. I buy the $20 one and get 4 free drinks a day from diamond

My son is a huge user of flow rider. Usually it’s one a time buy for new cruisers and realize they got screwed. If you are into spending hundreds extra On 1 lunch and 1 breakfast and seats you are at still 30 min before so be it.

Why would u get 3 internet for 2 people. U can use on multiple devices. U can’t walk in last min to a show even with key. The flowrider time is a joke. It’s 1 or 2 times during the week in a time nobody likes. I bought 4 internet packages in Aug on my Harmony cruise and sold 3 to other people on our roll call. By me buying multiple devises under only me it cost $80 each is all for the week. Even at $20 u r paying at least $40 a day. $280 for the week.

We get zoom and pay between $15-18. We only need 1 package. The reserved seats are right next to my free seats. I sleep in on last day and go to park cafe for breakfast and walk off whenever I want. We live in south Florida. Only take oasis class ships. I spend my money on UDP. 2 people cost over $350 on key when you can spend $150 more and get all your dining. Zoom is not even close to worth it. It’s not just a few dollars more than internet package. They charge everyone in cabin the high rate. The more packages you buy the cheaper it is under one person.

Yes it’s crazy. If u are traveling solo then it might be ok if you got it at $20 a day

No gratuity on internet lmao

That is the biggest joke ever. Crazy for everyone to have to spend $27 a day. You can buy one internet and share. Chops for first day is in dining room. Big deal they put your bag in room. U r eating anyways and rooms open up at 1. It is a great way for Royal to make money. Crazy 2 people in a cabin would spend $378 for a week on crap. Buy the UDP would be a lot better

Privacy for napping, napping naked, sex, watching TV, getting out of shower to get ready at the desk for dinner. Privacy for going on balcony in PJs or my bathing suit. Privacy for everything except just sitting with clothes on. No thanks

Never will do a boardwalk or Central Park again. Zero privacy, can’t do anything without closing drapes. Oasis class doesn’t have much space looking at the ocean. I go on a cruise to wake up each morning looking at a Port and looking at the ocean on sea days. The last thing I want is to be on a cruise looking at other balconies looking at me. Even if I don’t use my balcony much I can keep my drapes open and get a view.

I have been on 4 royal cruises this year. All oasis class and luggage tags all came on day 6. I actually haven’t remembered getting tag night before in a few years.

Non alcohol package goes for $30 but you can get it on sale around $23 a day. Includes all Specialty coffee, soda, juices, Virgin drinks and smoothies

I cruised 4 times this year. All oasis class and all beds were hard. I can handle it, I have them put a couple comforters on the bottom to help but with my husband it kills him. I live in Florida so it’s easy, I buy a mattress topper. I bought 3 this year. I get a king called the big one cool mattress topper from Kohl’s. They go for $130 which is crazy but I find on sale and got for $44. I put box in big duffel bag and just keep on ship when we leave. Our room attendant loves it. All of them say they will cut it and use for their bed when we leave. It’s the best money for the week. So easy at the end I just throw duffel bag in with my suitcase. I understand if I had to fly it would be an issue. I have two in boxes for a March and May trip for next year already. It is a must for my husband and for me not to hear him complain all week about his back.

It’s super easy when u get on board. Go to any specialty restaurant and they can book you for all the restaurants and times you want. We always buy it. It’s so worth the it to us. We love how quiet and low paced the experience is. Yes you can book same place every night if you want.

The UDP is awesome. The service and peaceful ambience is way better than dining room. Windjammer is a packed chaotic place with nasty food. I find it 100% worth it. Now as far as a waste of money that would be the key. Love dining package.

All oasis class are basically the same. I don’t like that Harmony doesn’t have the pool in solarium. Well symphony really does not either. The so called pool is the size of a hot tub. My least favorite oasis class is Harmony so I would say symphony for sure. Really pick based on price and ports since either one is really fine. Entertainment I prefer symphony and food maybe a slight edge to symphony because It has a local fresh and not mini bites. Specialty restaurants the same. Except Symphony has playmakers and Harmony has Mexican.

Nope. One and done. Even with UDP don’t go.

Never said I didn’t like the other oasis class ships. I just like that they keep one from getting the same amplifications as the others. I am sure I will like Icon too but doesn’t mean everyone of them have to be the same.

Symphony is the size of a hot tub. It’s not like allure at all. You are one of the only people who want her amped. No one wants water slides and the ultimate abyss.
