Following.. We sail her in 12 days..can't wait..

Thank you for your review. Looking forward to our cruise in May.

Did you think this excursion was worth it or would you suggest to go to the fort on your own? In additional info on this excursion would be great. Thank you

Does anyone have a picture of the beer cooler. Also do you pre-order it or just buy it at one of the bars? We are on the Adventure next May and love having beer in our room to enjoy on the balcony. :)

Glad you had a great time on your first cruise and that it was smooth sailing.

Correct, no problem paying extra for the bucket of beers.

Thank you

Some other things to note, the bag of beer or bucket of beer is not included in the beverage package. You can only get individual ones. You can order beers and have them leae the cap on. In fact I ordered some in Grolsch style bottles and was able to actually bring them home.

 

I understand you can't order more than one beverage at a time on the beverage package but that doesn't mean I can't order a bucket of beers for my room and just pay for it additional or does it?

The "bucket" of beer can be taken with you. I bought the "bag" for the "bag of beer" on our last royal cruise, and it's meant to be taken with you as it's a cooler bag with a strap on it.

 

 

 

We're supposed to carry on the wine allowance, not leave it in checked luggage.

How do you get this "Bag O Beer" that you speak of?? I have looked online through all the gifts being offered and didn't see the "Bag O Beer" (love that saying). Being a Carnival cruiser I am accustomed to having beer in my room upon arrival. Sailing RC for the first time next May with the Premium drink package and trying to figure out how to get a six pack or two in the room. Thank you for any and all help.

From my signature, you can see that I'm a Carnival fan. With the exception of a few minor instances, I've always enjoyed sailing on Carnival because its affordable and we always have a great time. Being the group coordinator I suggested we try a different cruise line and we're sailing on the Adventure of the Seas next year.

 

Meanwhile, I'm research everything I can regarding AOS and Royal. Lately, I'm seeing a lot of negative comments regarding RCL. From increase in cabin prices, staff service, to 40% increase in drink prices, etc. I'm not going to let these comments deter me from sailing RCL next year, but I'm hoping that once onboard the AOS, RCL proves most of the negative comments wrong. :)

Totally agree with you! This will be my first with RC and I am hoping what is being said is blown up a bit. All of my cruises with Carnival the service, food and staff have all been wonderful. Sailing on AOS next May and I can't wait. If the drinks are cold and the sun is shining it will be a great cruise!

The limit is now $12, and anything over that would be charged the difference.

Thanks for the information

If you order a drink over $10 on the premium drink package do they just charge your account for the difference or would it not be part of the package?

Thanks for the drink list.

woohoo! Can't wait to read your review - I have a year to wait but I am getting excited for my first Royal Caribbean cruise!

Have a great cruise! Looking forward to your review and photos. Hopefully many of the ship itself.

thanks

I am also new to Royal Caribbean and booked May 2016 on the Adventure of the Seas. Is there an easier way to check the price other than a mock booking on RC website? I find their site not easy to navigate in picking of rooms.

Good to know - just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be limited by the premium package. I am assuming you just let the bartender know you are bringing them back to your room. I love my late night drink on the balcony.

We have purchase the premium drink package. Normally on Carnival I would purchase a bucket of beer and bring it back to my room to have at a later date. With the drink package can I still purchase beers to bring back to our room and just be charged the cost of the bucket of beers? Or do I have to order room service for this?

Thank you! I am thinking Adventure of the Seas - it looks like a great ship. Love the ports as well. Anything else I should know about RC?

Trying to decide which ship to take out of San Juan May 2016. I have been doing a lot of research on both sides. I am starting to lean towards RC Adventure of the Sea. I have only been on Carnival (5 times) but I am not opposed to cruising other lines although I feel like I am cheating on Carnival. We are cruising with several couples ages from 40-50ish.

I am looking for thoughts and opinions regarding either ship.

Thank you -

I'm bummed because there is nothing out of San Juan in April 2016. Unless I'm not seeing it??? We agreed to celebrate our anniversary doing the Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. I guess it won't be on Carnival.

They haven't posted any cruises after March 2016 from San Juan. They should be coming out soon - I hope! Planning San Juan cruise May 2016

Carnival is killing me with the suspense! Waiting on the Southern Caribbean May 2016.

would love to know how they work? If they can be used for anything or if there are restrictions. My credit card rewards offer them.

Love the review sailing the victory once again in 12 days! Your pictures are great!

I submitted my form last night after I noticed the price had dropped $200 today I noticed the price was only down by $100. Which one do I get the price when they process the form or the price of what the cruise was on the day I submitted the form? I printed out what the price would be but didn't put any info in the comment sections of the form..Hoping for the $200 credit!
