ONECRUISER

Think it was $2 for small 12oz water Bottles and $3.50 for can of Coke, plus Grats. But don't forget can carry on 12 cans or bottles of 17oz size, Pop or water, per cabin. My choice is 12ct of 16.9oz Bottles Diet Dew myself... Trying to remember all the Ships that don't have Freestyle Soda Pop Machines, think there is 3 of the Radiance Class and not many others if any. Anyone?

Got an old Serenade Block end of Sept, Onboard. They own me 2 more from last yr and one from 2019, "Supposed" to come in the Mail

Thanks, usually keep track and watch Daily, looks like 3-4 new Cruises Posted. Royals famous for Posting a few like this outside the scheduled weeks. I watch for Repo's, Long Carib and PC Cruises but wish could take that TA.

they been pretty good, usually no cost to change Flights. Problem at times is I paid extra to get a better timed Flight originally then stuck with the Changes when my choice flight was combined with different one. Long as a can keep same exit row window or Bus Class seats I Booked its all good

Agree, same, Maintenance done many times in my Cabin, tighten screws, replace Balcony railings, checking air flow, never aware ahead of time

Always get an Alert from Delta, issue there is ALWAYS change in Flights times. Yes usually 3-10min but at least once a yr its couple hrs shortening my time between connecting Flights or to Flight I didnt pick originally

We're Lucky, Royal 5+ yrs ago waited even longer to release. Every couple yrs now they Flip schedule, First releases were longer Caribbean/Repo's recently but now back to later though most these I've Booked nite they came out which was late as April-June over the last 12yrs

Wow, thanks for sharing! Came so close to Joining Ship yesterday, was going Book it Saturday with the short following Cruise before WC. Few min before I jumped Daughter decided to do Thanksgiving at home. We had CV last Thanksgiving after she brought it home from a Cruise last Nov

Seen this done last yr on Serenade and on Radiance last month. Though we were on Port stops both times. Air Con kicked off, Lights, TV's, Internet. Was on my Aft Balcony chilling both times as the thick smoke kicked up from Below my Cabin.

Nope, My Grand Kids always have last 2 weeks of March off. Then my Kids had midwinter Break in Feb and always had first week of April off. Even yrs later Ship had ton of Kids on that week last yr as some have it closer or follow Easter changing dates yr to yr.

Found a wild one. Panama Canal in 2025, already back up to 2019 prices $4839 in Balcony for me SOLO. Was spoiled last 3yrs under CV pricing paying less then $3K inc last months Panama Canal Cruise. Kicker is if you want refundable Deposit? No problem, another $2884.50 more!

Agree. My Cruises Internet and shore excursions are posting at usually 12 months out.

True, My Sister and Brother in 2 different States had it written in Divorce that couldn't take kids over 3hrs away or out of State w/o other Parents permission. A standard for all Divorces in both States. Custodial/Non made no difference, both had Joint Legal. Glad my Parents got along so well, Dad and Step Dad worked same Company and would go Golfing and Bowling together

Agree, most Prices are up ships and almost everything. Though comparing Cruises I took few weeks ago Booked 560-580 days ago in Peak CV Days to the prices released today while Royal Ships are filled at 110% Capacity can see why higher now. Long as people pay and Ships fill more Berths then ever before they will keep prices up. 35+ yrs Cruising only time watched them give away Cruises was Sept2001-May2002 and during CV. Cruises I do now longer Repos and Panama Canal are still cheaper then what was paying Pre-CV. Though last couple were about same as 5yrs ago

Well the $7.99 is obviously the markup onboard. They are currently $2.24 at Walmart here in USA

Kool, also ended up with 7 on my Cruise last Month. I lined them all up on back of my couch. Kept them up for my Grand Daughter

My Daughter and her Families Favorite Class. Me, will stick with the smaller Ships til they are gone

Agree, was pricing Independence TA last nite when they posted and prices not too bad compared to other Repos like Panama Canals released so far this yr

True, accidents happen, everywhere. Seen many posted on Cruise Critic in last 26yrs. Couple yrs ago had Tour Bus flip with Passengers from our Royal Ship and a Celebrity, Injuries and Death. Then was on Panama Canal Cruise last month, massive rain with over yr worth in 2hrs. Was at a stand still, Trees came down, rock slide with a Huge Boulder landed 10 feet from our Van as we were hit with rocks and mud. We had to ride threw water in back of a Police PU, walk across a Bridge covered with water. Took us 6+ hours get the 3 miles back to Ship. Doing same Cruise next Oct, this wouldn't stop me from taking same Excursion

Yes, in the past 6/8 were included with 7n Schedules

On 2 of my Royal Cruises online App let me Answer the Health Questions 4 Days before the Cruise. Royal IT at its finest

Sept 2023- "Insufficient rainfall continues to negatively impact the Gatun Lake, which feeds the canal, lowering its water level to 24.2 meters (79.7 feet), versus 26.6 meters (87.41 feet) for the month of September in recent years"

Agree, seen many 70's AND 80s(with Glam and Madonna dressed) Parties on Royal for yrs now, usually on longer Cruises. That said 70's been going on for over 30yrs for Royal when in 90's showed my Kids their Dad could do the Electric Slide. Don't see it changing, are they going do update Dressed Grunge or Hip Hip for the 90's? Dress up like Teens Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift to their 2010's Music... Not going happen

Agree, always Book day Cruise Opens. Last Cruises I just completed were Booked at 560+ days out and were going for 2 and 3 times price by Final Payment

Shoot in last 11yrs all but 1 or 2yrs wasnt able Book my last long Caribbean, Repo or PC Cruises until Spring, last dates not opening until March, April, May or even June
