Several years ago we had 2 connecting cabins. Our niece with her 2 year old daughter were next door to ours and when we were out of the one cabin and/or on the balcony they worked very well.

Reaching out to Customer Service
GEORGIEGIRL replied to ksadonnab's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That was your first mistake. You called "Customer Service". You should have called "Customer NO SERVICE". You would have been less "Sad" and would have gotten what you expected.. 🤪 -
Most RCCL ships have a "CAFE PROMENADE". It is their coffee/snack bar version of a "STARBUCKS". It is true that you cannot use the RCCL coffee card at the onboard "STARBUCKS". Also, please be aware that even though you purchase a card that offer 15 "PUNCHES" these are usually only good for a "small" drink. If you order a "LARGE" drink they will most likely punch your card twice. This would make your card almost worth 1/2 its value. I suggest waiting until you get on board as the price is the exact same whether you purchase it ahead or not. Check with "CAFE PROMENADE" attendant and see what their "interpretation" of the coffee punches are. Then you can make the choice as to whether it is good deal for you or not.

Stockholm vasa and highlights tour
GEORGIEGIRL replied to lionheart's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We did the exact same thing. Easy Peezy. The only warning about walking around is watch out for the "Bicycles" they are literally everywhere and have the right of way... -
Coco Cay Beach Club menu
GEORGIEGIRL replied to earltonharley's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We were on the "Mariner" last month and stopped at "CoCoCay". We had the "Beach Club" and about 2-3 days before we were scheduled to dock there we got a phone call from the ship (I assume it was the food dept.) and they were asking us what time we wanted to have our lunch scheduled for. Once we got seated they brought the above posted menus and then they brought the food that we ordered. -
Not sure how it is dealt with when it comes to "Cruising". However, I can tell you that my "Boss" and his family went to "Rome" for a vacation about 1 month ago and the day before they were scheduled to fly back to the US they took there "Covid" tests and tested positive. They had to quarantine for a minimum of 5 days and at least until they all tested negative (that took almost 10 days). I can tell you that they had to pay for their own stay and all expenses while in quarantine.

Who at Royal might assist us?
GEORGIEGIRL replied to Stuart Suss's topic in Royal Caribbean International
This is not an RCCL issue. This is a "PORT" issue. They provide the transportation, not RCCL. Try contacting them. -
Current Songs at Sail Away Dance Party?

Electric Slide -
Not on the "Mariner". I think RRCL only allows smoking indoors in the Casinos, no where else inside.

Monsters of Rock Cruise - MOS - Not on RCL web page?
GEORGIEGIRL replied to johnjen's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You are correct..That is a "Chartered" cruise. Only available to be booked through the company website that you referenced. The higher prices cost more as you are paying for the "Entertainment" (Monsters of Rock) to be on board to give concerts. Just like you would pay to go see a concert on land, you pay extra to see them on the ship. -
Speaking of the "Campfire Cookie". On our recent "Mariner" cruise they didn't have any "MARSHMALLOWS". Oh the tragedy!!! One person got smart and when the got off the ship they bought some in port and had them make it using there own.

ordering a bottle of alcohol from Royal
GEORGIEGIRL replied to molsonschooner's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I hope it works out well for you. See my past experience (post #8) and be prepared to go to GS to see what happens if it's not delivered to your room. -
FCC, how long does it take to come?
GEORGIEGIRL replied to VitaLuna's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That might be a "Guestimate" at best. We have had to wait 60+ days on some, less on others. -
Haven't cruised since Dec 2021 - here are my questions
GEORGIEGIRL replied to jkx's topic in Royal Caribbean International
01) NO 02) BIG YES 03) Not Really 04) Not Many We just came off the "Mariner" 3 weeks ago and I would say very few passengers were wearing masks. In fact several people reported having caught "covid" after the cruise ended. (we actually had 5 out of our group of 8 catch it). All better now. -
Buying a delivered-to-your room bottle of alcohol
GEORGIEGIRL replied to Mum2Mercury's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My wife just did this for me on the "Mariner" a couple of weeks ago and requested that I get "Sprite Zero" (with the Gin). However, when we got in the room we found the "Sprite Zero" but no GIN. Apparently they did not get any delivered to the ship. So I had to settle for a refund.. -
RCCL stopped carrying "Diet" tonic water a long time ago. I like to drink "Gin" & "Tonic" w/lime. So, I started ordering my "gin" with "Sprite Zero". It's almost the same for me.

Two types of testing and a sigh of relief

Don't forget to post this on the "Disney Cruise Line Forum".... -

We just got off the "Mariner" last Monday and it was a NIGHTMARE getting out of the parking garage. As other posters have mentioned you pay when you leave,. not when you check-in to park. The traffic jam was awful. It took us at least an hour to get out of the parking garage. I hope we never have to do that again....

ordering a bottle of alcohol from Royal
GEORGIEGIRL replied to molsonschooner's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For our PAST "MARINER" cruise (just last week) my wife had gone and surprised me with the "GIN" alcohol package (with 6 cans of mixer). When we got into the room I saw 6 cans of soda and thought, oh how nice my D+ rewards are here. I never thought anything more about it. Until about 4 days into the cruise my wife says "how are you enjoying your Gin?". I told her I didn't know what she was referring to and that is when she made reference to the sodas on the desk. She told me about the pre-purchased "alcohol" package (for the room) and I told her I hadn't seen anything like that. She gave me a copy of the confirmation of her on-line purchase and sent me down to Guest Services to inquire about it. They did some research and finally an assistant Bar Manager (Mike, very nice guy) came and explained that they were having supply challenges getting the "smaller" sized bottles (350 ml., I think) from there suppliers I was offered a refund and he was very apologetic about the whole thing. -
Ditto for the "Mariner" this past week.

Coco Beach Club - Worth the money ?
GEORGIEGIRL replied to woneill63's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We just did the "Coco Beach Club" this past Sunday on the "Mariner". We only paid like $79.00 pp. My wife had booked it on Black Friday last year. At that price it was definitely worth the money. At the current rates, NO WAY!!!!!! We enjoyed the experience very much.
