To JustUs275,

The medium bag should work for you with what you listed to be put in it. I know these bags are kinda pricey but they are well constructed.

I agree with BermudaBound2014 as I will be packing mine for our girls cruise. I also have one for in the shower to hold the small bottles of shampoo and bath scrubbie and such. I even use one in the shower at home. I know not everyone likes or uses these but for me they are a must for all kinds of trips that we take..;)

We like to use the dining rooms for breakfast and might even try them for lunches when available and if we are on the ship at that time. Not looking forward to the cattle call at the buffet dining but will use when necessary. It's a vacation, time to be waited on..LOL;)

For our cruise on April 16th and when we get back into the port we have a late flight so looking into the valet service and find something to do for the day in FLL so won't be in a hurry to get off the ship..;)

Someone mentioned that they use the luggage tag holders(from Amazon) for their debarkation tags, are they the same size as the embarkation tags. I bought the holders for our embarkation tags but would like to know the size of the debarkation tags. This is our first sail on RC so not familiar with all their set ups yet. If anyone has a picture of one of debarkation tags, would appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone for all their tips..:)

OK, it's Monday did rail203 make it on the ship. Glad to see lots of help from fellow cruisers.

I agree that the large bags are BIG so I got the purple medium bag and kinda feel that it's a little big but still going to use as a carryon for the plane and ship. But I am seriously thinking of ordering the small and use it as a purse. They are really nice sturdy bags only wish that they came in all the colors that the medium and large does.. have a great day everyone..

Ok, guys thanks for the answer, I will pass that information on to the wine drinkers in the group, and YES LOL way over the age limit but still a lot of fun..:D

Ok set me straight if there are 4 people in a room (all over the drinking age, way over) we can bring 4 bottles of wine on with us in our carry-ons. Is this a correct assumption?? Have never brought any on board so need all the facts.. Thanks

It's all a personal preference, but I got the medium bag and love it , using it for a carry on bag to the plane and ship. It is bigger than I really wanted but was afraid the small one would be to small. They aren't cheap bags but well made. I also got mine embroidered and with my initials. Thinking of getting the small one for another trip. I guess you could lay everything out that you would want to put in it, roll your towels and that might give you a idea if a small one would work for you.:)

Hi everyone, well with reading everyone's glowing reports we will be doing a tour with Bernard but not sure which one Tour 1 is cheaper but with no dedicated lunch stop or Tour 2 which is a longer tour with a dedicated lunch stop. Hmm Can anyone tell me with the shorter tour 1 will there be anywhere on this tour to maybe grab a sandwich or something quick..:rolleyes:

Oh wow good idea, we are planning a train trip in March so will do that, then will do something for the cruise in April. But will have to get grandson to help me get them..lol:p

How far out from your cruise dates can you print your documents? Thanks for any and all replies.

Upon looking at his tours we are favoring tour 1 and it goes from 9am til 2:30pm, will there be someplace to get a quick lunch on this tour?;)

We will probably not be doing any excursions on our cruise and we will be stopping at St Thomas and St Maarten, is there a website that we might look up and see what can be done right at the ports. Never have been to these ports and wasn't sure what was at the ports. Is there shopping right at the ports? Thanks for any and all replys;)

I am the planner so no surprises for me but my niece and I are surprising her Mom with a cruise next April on the Oasis of the Sea for Xmas, she has cruised before and loves it but has never cruised the BIG ship so it will be exciting to see her face when she opens her gift.:)

Oh wow, you all have given me a lot to think about and consider, will have to run it by the others in the group to see what they want to do but Thanks for all the information...:confused:

Ok please explain to me how this works, now I know flights have to be after at least 11:30 am give or take a few minutes and if your airline is on the list but can you still use the valet service if your flight isn't til 8 that evening. Since our flight may be later leaving I thought we would sightsee the city (Ft Lauderdale) for a while before heading to the airport but didn't want to have to lug all the luggage around all day but cannot find information about how late they would do the service for later flights.:rolleyes:

Thanks for any help someone can send our way. even thought about renting a car and driving back home..NOT ..Drop off charge is more than the price of one of our airline tickets.:eek:

What ship had the fire in Jamaica, the news didn't say but they are on their way again..:eek:

When can you buy the drink packages? Can you buy before you board or do you buy them after boarding?

Nope, I think your red dress will be awesome and so will the turquoise dress as that is the style I will be wearing for formal nights on RC, No gowns for this lady and if I wouldn't worry about tripping over a long dress I would wear that to formal night also. So you have my vote, go for it, you are on vacation. Have a great trip.

:)

Thanks for the reply I will start searching..:)

Ok can someone give me a hint as to where I could by either cruise themed or beach themed either decals or decorations as I want to decorate our door on our next trip. Our dollar store doesn't have anything.:rolleyes:

I have a question for the expert cruisers of RC, I have cruised another line and I always put cash on my acct on board, my question is can you do this on RC. Looking to cruise RC in the future so picking up tips from this board. Thanks in advanced for any answers..;)

Just don't use your sail and sign card..:D
