What "Cyber Monday Deals"?
ONECRUISER replied to ALTravelGal's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Hit and miss from other Threads for Sales this last week, Black Friday/Cyber Monday same same with some small deals but mostly Miss. With Ships Sailing at 110% Capacity, Royal bringing in record Billions in Revenue not going run any great Cyber Monday Specials as in yrs past just to give money away. On Booking Cruises can still find some good deals(compared to the overpriced ones) but have to really look. On my Sailings Drink Package is running at $52, was lot higher last I checked weeks ago, BUT, I don't drink... Then have to remember an up to 30 or 50% off is what Royal says compared to the higher price what you would pay onboard the Ship -
Seen Battery operated Decorations on outside of Cabin doors for Halloween, Xmas, New Years, Valentines. Just dont ever use the self sticking Jello type colored Decorations. They bleed onto the Cabin doors permanently staining them with Orange Pumpkins, Turkeys with multicolored feathers, Red Valentine Hearts and Green Xmas Trees. Years later I see they are still visible on dozens of Serenade and Brilliance Doors. Some on here have even brought small Xmas Tress for their Cabins with Battery operated Lites

Yeah shoot for Decades at home Utility or repair Companies would give 6 hr window(am or pm), this when they wanted us to be ready for them. Now at least when they are down the list to you being next they Text and confirm you are there, ready and they will start your way. Lot less wasted time for both parties

Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins
ONECRUISER replied to SummmerInKefalonia's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Agree, probably that one off. one Ship and not released until about Summer. -
Kool, like said I'd ask for the wash/fold bag though my Attendant had me use the large paper one from my closet. Can see why theyd do away with the plastic one, stretch them too far and they rip, clothes fall out

Breakdown of Gratuities since latest increase
ONECRUISER replied to lovesthebeach2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Years ago before they added "other workers" when I started Cruising per person, per day it was $1.25 each for Waiter and Room Attendant, 50 cents for Asst Waiter -
Didn't know that changed, Diamond Members use get $$ off Wash/Fold, think it was $10 off. Long time since I was Diamond though, 15-ish yrs ago. Small plastic Bag I could roll clothes and fit a ton in it. Was like 14 T-shirts, 10 sox, 10 Underwear, 4 shorts. Last yr on 3 different Ships Room Attendant just gave me larger reg laundry paper bag for wash/fold

Got lucky, know some inc a few on here that got charged Regular Laundry price for not allowed wash/fold items. With me wouldn't want my nicer items inc my Jeans washed in that extreme hot water. Seen some my Tshirts and even underwear come back faded a shade or 2 lighter but I can live with those

Actually I was lucky when Concierge called me up in my Cabin and asked if I was going be at upper Tier Party. They had Captain give me D+ Certificate that day, this even though still had couple more days to reach actual point level. We'd just started a 13nite Cruise. She even sent me down to get Status on my Card updated. Though this was about 15yrs ago. Know it doesnt happen, but it did to me

Jewel of the Seas smoking areas
ONECRUISER replied to RRTcruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Gets even worse on longer Radiance Sailings. When Ship Refuels a couple times in Port the only place to Smoke is indoors in the Casino. Was even some passengers on Jewel walking around Centrum Vaping until Crew stopped them -
Package Prices on RCL?
ONECRUISER replied to cruisinsince75's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Pricing Cruise to Cruise and Ship to Ship can vary. My next Cruise in 2024 the Deluxe Beverage Package is $53.99, but I don't Drink. The Refreshment Package is $23.99. Dinner at Izumi $35.99 and for Lunch $23.99. The 5nite Dining Package is $179.99 but the 10nite package is only $279.99 -
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?

Spring Break starting in March, but when?
ONECRUISER replied to bayou cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
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!
