No, that is early traditional dining. 2 traditional seatings typically 5:30 & 8. MTD begins around 6:45. You can make MTD reservations in advance or just show up at the MTD venue which is on deck 3. You or your TA can call & request a switch to late traditional seating. If there is room, they’ll switch you.
Sugar free ginger ale for me too. I also agree the can is better than fountain but for me the difference is syrupy (fountain) versus crisp (can). The ratio of syrup to carbonated water in a fountain drink is off to me.
That’s what I don’t understand. How does a late move fill vacancies? Say you get moved the day before you sail, there isn’t time to resell your vacated room. In my case, they would have just given me access to the concierge lounge and unlimited happy hour and my old JS is now empty. What am I missing? NOT that I would turn it down!!!
Funny that Royal up’s happen that close. Perhaps I don’t understand the concept. I assumed the program was designed to free up rooms Royal could reasonably expect to be able to sell again while getting a few bucks more for ones they thought they couldn’t. I would think 2 days before sailing, the chance of selling the lower category room would be slim to none. I guess, depending on the bid, it’s still more revenue. But seems kinda pointless.🤷♀️🤷♀️
I always have to enter my name & reservation number twice to get it to work even though I’ve already got a bid in. We are currently in a JS on Explorer. I’ve bid just over minimum on an OS. Prior to my bid, suites were sold out. Last week, 2 OS appeared. Today those 2 are still there & there are now JS gty available. I optimistically see this as a good sign.
No additional gratuities on anything included with the cruise fare ie; complementary food and drinks but they will add gratuity to ANY on board purchase. If you purchase a dining or beverage package, gratuities are added at time of purchase. If you make the purchases individually, each purchase will have 18% gratuities added.
Going without this trip. I struggled in March (when the price with gratuities was $71 per day) to get what I perceived to be my money’s worth. I don’t drink smoothies or specialty coffees, had a few waters but also found the ship’s water tasted perfectly fine, maybe 1 soda per day. By day 4 I was ordering drinks I really didn’t want. Will be Diamond after this cruise so the vouchers will be plenty.
Does chapstick contain one of the restricted ingredients?
Check the label! Make sure your sunscreen does not contain the following harmful substances on the "HEL list:
Oxybenzone
Octinoxate
Octocrylene
Homosalate
4-methylbenzylidene camphor
PABA
Parabens
Triclosan
Any nanoparticles or “nano-sized” zinc or titanium (if it doesn’t explicitly say “micro-sized” or “non-nano” and it can rub in, it’s probably nano-sized)
Any form of microplastic, such as “exfoliating beads”
Just ordered zinc oxide sticks for our ABC cruise. Seems to be the only actual reef friendly sunscreen. Every other type has one of the reef damaging “O” ingredients in it. We’ll be snorkeling in Bonaire so I felt it was important to have the right product.
If all you want is water and an occasional soda, I wouldn’t buy a package at all. The water they serve tastes fine & you can pay as you go for soda. Unless you are interested in specialty coffees, mock tails or smoothies, the Refreshment package is not worth the money. You will have access to ice water, lemonade, iced tea, milk, coffee probably a few juices at no additional cost.
True but since you specifically referenced cholesterol as the reason you were looking for seafood, I wanted to be sure you knew your desire to “mainly look for Maine lobster & steak” would not be the best choice.
