What happens if I don't put Royals Crappy Paper luggage tags on my suitcases at home and show up at the port "untagged"? Do the porters have better tags? (I'm referring to Port Everglades- Harmony) thanks

There is a bit of a walk from ship to taxi stand - there may be some help available - golf carts or whatever - but there may not be.

 

 

 

Harmony is only ship in port on 18th of July so there should be no problem getting a taxi quickly once you are at taxi stand. Only possible problem I can see that could cause some delay is if drivers resist taking such a short trip - but dispatchers will get you a taxi.

Thank you for your help. That was very helpful info.

Hello all. We are renting a boat for the day when we are in St Marteen next month. We have some parents traveling with us who don't fare well with long walks. Granted the marina is only about 5 blocks away but I had a question about taxis. Are they available directly after you exit the ship (Harmony) and what are the wait times to get one in the morning rush? Thanks in Advance

Royal stopped sending out tags for Suites about a year ago. Have to print them your self now.:(

That's sucks. But thanks!

Just curious if RC still sends out luggage tags for suite guests? We are sailing on the Harmony next month in a Crown Loft Suite and I just wanted to plan accordingly. TIA

Hello all. I tried to find the answer to this but i didn't have any luck. We are taking my wife's parents on a cruise next month and I had a question about the credit card used to pay on board expenses. I entered my credit on their set sail pass. Will this be ok because their name isn't on the credit card? Do I need to be with them when they check in at the port? We are on a suite and they are not, will this be a problem at check-in? Thanks for any help!!

What type of ice cream is on the Harmony? Is it only available in MDR? Is there a soft serve machine by the pool area? I also hear there is no ice cream parlor like there was on Oasis/Allure for a fee. Is this true? I realize this may not be an important question to many but with 1/2 our cruise party being six years old this is a huge deal!!!!

I know I've seen this somewhere before but does anyone know off hand what the email addresses for the oasis concierge are?

Thank you all for your help. I do appreciate the kind words and quick response. And yes I have called RCI but of everyone I have talked to they have been the least helpful. I knew we were on the right track I just didn't want to miss anything obvious :)

Hello all. I love cruise critic and I know it opens up doors to resources that can't be found anywhere else. So here is my unique situation that I would like some insight on.,,,

My wife and I and our three year old son will be traveling on the Oasis in June and we all have our passports so there isn't an issue there, however we will also be traveling with a 2 year old foster child who the state of Florida has granted custodianship to my wife and I. A little bit of backstory the child is 1 of 5 and has been removed from the parents because they are both incarcerated in jail. We took the two year old girl at the request of the state and have all intentions to adopt her but the process will be a lengthy one as the state moves very slowly in these situations.

What I have... We have the child's original birth certificate. We also have certified court documents naming my wife and I legal non relative custodians. The birth parents both objected to her going on the cruise but thankfully the judge saw differently and allowed us to take her so I also have original courts docs allowing us to leave the state of Florida for the said week of our cruise. Finally because she is a dependent of the state I have a notarized letter from the children's home society handling her case granting us permission to go on the cruise, acknowledging that we are leaving the country, listing all dates and ports of call, and granting us permission to make medical decisions on behalf of the child while we are away.

What I don't have. The parents permission hence the above said. A passport (we have her social security card but because of the parents objections obtaining a passport is not possible). A signed letter from the parents.

Please do not flame me for not reading the policies and procedures that deal with taking a child that isn't legally mine. I have read so much and searched boards but have been unsuccessful to find a clear answer that is relevant to my situation. I promise you I have done my due diligence, I have called customs, I have called homeland security, I have called the port authority at port Everglades but I want to make sure I exhaust all resources available to me. There would be nothing worse than getting down there the day of the cruise and be denied boarding because we forgot to cross a t or dot an I. Thank you very much for your help!!

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but I'd be curious if anyone had any experience with this on Oasis specifically
