it is called dress your best. I wear a sundress with dressy flip flops, husband wears slacks and a silk tommy bahama button down shirt.

no show reservations required on Adventure, just eat around show times

We have cruised multiple times since Covid and love everything about it. See my answers above, would help to know what ship you are on, then my answers could have been more specific. Really does not matter, you will have an amazing time.

We had a cruise booked a few years ago that turned into a President's Cruise. We were D+ at the time. We had a blast! Got invited to a lot of VIP parties, Billy Ocean played at Labadee, tons of really good entertainment. We got the cruise for the price we paid, the day it was announced it was a President's cruise, prices doubled. Would not go on another one unless it was one I already had booked that changed into a President's cruise. But we really did enjoy it with all the extra stuff that was going on.

yes, I misunderstood, sorry.

I am Pinnacle so get 3 choices for Crown and Anchor gifts. I choose 3 bottles of champagne and I get them. Luck has nothing to do with it. Once over 525 points, you get 3 gifts for a 7 night cruise.

3 from my C&A choices, but if I book a cruise, I always get one from them also.

we cruised first part of April and got my bottle of champagne as usual. In fact, because it was a 7 night, I got 3 bottles.

You can have your TA add them when you book or call Royal to add them. We always do it, then don't have that bill at the end of the cruise. Otherwise you get charged the tip amount daily on your shipboard account. Totally worth it to us.

Thanks!!

We are doing Panama Canal out of LA to Tampa Oct 2024 and cannot wait. Pictures would be great if you can send them.

I always wait and buy on the ship - BUT that is because we are Pinnacle. The "base" price is the same online or on the ship (for example - if you look in the planner and it says $110 but there is 30% off, it is still $110 base on the ship, but I get 40% off) - I know this is true as I have done this many times, - however, the discount can be more online that what you will get on the ship But for us, the most it ever goes on sale for online is 30% or 35%. If we wait until we board, we get 40%, so for us, always cheaper to wait and get it on the ship. But not the case for most people. when we were D+, I always booked online ahead of time when it went to 30% off.

I would take Playmakers over Portside. Love the tenders and french fries at Playmakers. Portside our food was okay but pretty much all cold or luke warm

every once in a while you get a FL rate, but been a while. None on the 18 cruises I currently have booked, but I keep watching for price breaks.

Have had both they are good. I open the burritos and scrape all the rice out and add the black beans to them instead. I love the black beans.

We love El Loco Fresh. Such a great place to grab a quick snack and not have to put a coverup on to go to WJ.

We have been on cruises with Ken. He was great.

We will be on Radiance for our Panama Canal cruise next October and cannot wait. Been on her before, but been a long time. Will for sure make sure to go to the show with the crew, we love that stuff.

No, go to your cruise planner. You need to set up an account with Royal Caribbean on you tablet/computer/phone and then add your cruise. Once you do that, you can see packages, excursions, etc.

guess it depends on the ship. So far we have been able to get them on every ship. On Indy next March, so guess we will find out.

We just got off Voyager and our cabin person left a hard copy of the compass every evening for us.

I get compasses all the time. Just ask our cabin person to leave them or I go to the Guest Service Desk and ask. I have done the Qcode and that was fine also. Our cabin person asked us if we wanted morning or evening service. We opted for evening and even got towel animals Food is subjective of course, but my husband really likes the new menus. We have not noticed any reduced hours on the ship, but then we are always in bed by 11 for the most part. Glad you did not let it ruin your trip. We have cruised multiple times on Royal - at least 15 since August 2021 - and have wonderful times. Changes happen all over the place and we just go with the flow.

A number of year ago, we did the bus transfer $29 pp to go to Red Stripe beach. Excursion said 3 hours, but the bus actually ran every 1/2 hour so you could go back to the port any time, so could stay way longer than 3 hours Is the transfer to Blue Water Beach the same? I thought I read somewhere that it was the same thing, that you could come back to port whenever you wanted as long as you made the last bus back Thanks

I love them all, but if I have to pick, I pick Allure. That ships just "spoke to my heart" the first time I was on it, and even after being on all the Oasis Class and almost all the Royal ships, it is still my favorite.

I love getting the random bottles as I love champagne. Bring the home with me
