Thanks for posting! We're on the same sailing leaving on the 23rd! Can't wait!

No, but front half roped off for Crown & Anchor Diamond cocktails in the early evening

 

Advice - pretty good odds on the spa raffle.

Spa raffle? I'm intrigued - haven't been on Royal Caribbean in a long time, so is there a chance to win spa treatments?

So happy I found this! We're sailing on the Majesty in less than 2 weeks! Can't wait to hear about your trip! Also interested in knowing about a formal night!

Hi,

My dad passed away in 2009 and requested to be buried at sea since he loved cruises, so in 2010, we scattered his ashes off of the Caribbean Princess. They actually were able to put together a small ceremony for us - they gave us a certain time, roped off an area on the back of the ship for our family and even provided us with a bottle of my dad's favorite wine (which they let us pour overboard as well). They made sure to get a printout of the exact latitude and longitude as well so we always know the spot. It was such a special ceremony and right after, a giant rainbow appeared in the sky - and it was a perfect sunny day with not a cloud in the sky!

I'm not sure what RCCL's policy is - we had to get special clearance from Princess for bringing remains aboard - and they had to be in a biodegradable urn - we couldn't just scatter ashes, they had to be contained.

If it's just a tiny amount, you might be able to do it discreetly. I was able to honor another family's member's request that way in a place where it wasn't allowed.

Hope this helps!
