Can you still not buy the internet package ahead of your cruise to save money and apply your Diamond Plus discount ?

Thanks everyone.

Trying to help someone look at prices. Can two adults and 3 kids share a family ocean View?

I have done all 3 but I prefer the Harmony but not due to the slide. I prefer the Harmony because it is newer and the decor is so much better than the Oasis and Allure. The Harmony is my favorite ship so far.

Lipton makes a tea concentrate that comes in a little tube and you just add water. I think it might work....

I had no idea, thanks for the info.

Thanks, everyone. There have been some really good suggestions here.

Not even close. The best I have been able to do on-board is bring my tumbler mix hot water and tea bags, add the sugar while the tea is hot and then fill it with Ice. Still not good tea though.

I am thinking I won't be able to match my MickyD's or Chick fil A tea though. :(

My friends who like their southern tea prefer this brand of you aren’t making it.

Thank you.

True southern sweet tea is brewed from teabags(usually Lipton or Luzianne). It has to be strong to stand up to ice. The tea on the ship is a premade concentrate, not fresh brewed.

 

After removing the tea bags, sweeten to taste using a simple syrup(buy it or make it at home).

Some people like it really sweet, but others want it less sweet. Granulated sugar only dissolves well when the tea is warm;

in tea that is already cold, the sugar will pool at the bottom.

 

Add ice and a sprig of mint from your herb garden. Enjoy!

 

Barb in Georgia-- where sweet tea rules!

Totally Agree!

Try the Arizona brand Southern Sweet Tea...It comes in a gallon bottle or large cans...unopened you just might be able to take this onboard....This lazy southern sweet tea drinker buys her's at Walmart...it's the best tasting pre-made brand I've tried. Best of luck y'all.

Hey, thanks. I will try that brand.

I literally lol, I love Bob's answers, he is the BEST.... BUT sugar packs added to unsweetened tea lol only a northerner would think THAT'S sweet tea LOL .....love u bob

Agree :)

We like sweet southern Iced Tea. Tea on ships is horrible. It’s way too strong. We just live with soft drinks when on a cruise. I drink hot tea in the morning. I don’t like the hot tea that they bring for room service. They use the same pot for coffee and it ruins the water. We can get some better hot water out of the water machine in the Diamond Lounge.

I completely agree about the tea. I will check out the hot water in the Diamond Lounge :)

Thanks, all. I was thinking like a 1/2 gallon from McDonald's or Chick fil a, I will use some of the tips and improvise. I used to drink Diet Dr. Peppers and always brought some small bottles with me.

All, I have done a lot of RC cruises, but I have recently become almost addicted to having a glass of very sweet tea every day. I assume there is no way to take a gallon or 1/2 gallon of tea on board. Would love to have a glass on my balcony every day.

Yeah, I used to like to print out the little map and the itinerary and save them. I keep them all together and have one for all 21 of my cruises. I do not like the new site.

Can anyone tell me where can I find the itinerary for my upcoming cruise now that the website has changed?

Thanks all!

Hey Experts,

I have booked the Allure for September 2nd and when I checked last week, right after I booked, the website said to ask on board. Anyone ever had any luck getting one that late? Does Crown and Anchor status matter? Any input would be appreciated.

Here are the onboard prices:

You may find that the pre-cruise price for Surf & Stream is very close to the onboard price for Surf Only.

Thanks so much.

You can't purchase the surf only package online. You will have to wait till you board. At least, that's how it was when I bought it on Jewel a few months ago.

Now it makes sense, I am not crazy after all..... Thanks :)

I have a cruise this Saturday on the Harmony and was looking to book a surf only package but I only see the surf and stream packages offered. Am I doing something wrong.

In September, right after school starts up.

People do it two ways:

 

Book pre-cruise for one, and tell the restaurant once onboard that you will have two.

 

Book two pre-cruise, and get OBC for the second person.

Thanks so much!!

For the Diamond Plus speciality restaurant BOGO, how do you book it online as far as getting the second one free? I assume if you reserve it online you will have to pay for both at the time of booking? Sorry, I did try to search and could not find anything.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I was looking for this January and February. I will keep looking. It is just hard for me to pay $500 more per person to cruise on the Allure for an Oceanview balcony than i did in December of 2015 and $400 more than the Freedom this past September to go to the same ports. Guess I am just too cheap :o
