Don't have any idea what perks have been taken away on Royal. I do know that Perks on Royal is way more substantial than what Carnival offers. We just turned mid-level on Royal, and we get 4 free drinks a day, or a substantial discount on beverage package. BOGO at specialty restaurants. 25%off gift shop items. These a just a few. Now for Carnival, Unless you are on an excursion, or you are in Belize, Priority tender is no longer offered. The Strawberries are inedible because they are not ripe. Priority disembarkation is a joke. The only reason we still travel with Carnival is the Casino keeps giving us rooms. We have over 200 days with Carnival and we can't even get a 2 top table for dining, unless we choose anytime.

Been a very long time since I have been to the RC cruise area in Cozumel. Can anyone tell me if there is a place to get massages right at the cruise port? I know there is a hut on the Carnival property. I prefer to get massages off ship. Cheaper and no hard sells. More relaxing.

Can someone tell me where the smoking areas are on the Grandeur please?

Sorry to ask this, but where is the smoking area on the Grandeur? I have search the forums and just cannot find out. Also, is there a Park Cafe?

Let me see if I can word this properly. Is there a dollar amount limit that I can place on the on board account that I can use AARP gift cards to cover? For example, if I charge $3,000 from the casino to my room, can I apply $3,000 in Gift cards to cover the charge? I understand It will be a "use or loose" situation. Just trying to figure out a dollar amount I should bring. Anyone know?

Thank you very much.

I went through the search page, and all I see is how to use gift cards towards purchasing a cruise with RC. My question is can they be used onboard as spending credits? Other cruise lines allow you to to guest services , present the cards and have it applied to my account. I just want to make sure RC allows the same. Thanks

You can order the internet through the app. Go to MeddalionNet section.

I have looked but cannot find the answer. I have a 20 day cruise in January 2024. It is actually a B2B, but booked as one long cruise. I did not purchase any of the specialty packages, because it was cheaper to just do a soda/1 unit wi-fi/ and gratuities. I do not drink alcoholic beverages. My husband only drinks one a day, if that. I understand there is a fee to order food through the app. Is that a one time fee for the entire cruise, or once I use and pay, good for the rest of my sailing?

Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know the maximum dollar amount of gift cards can be used for OBC? We are embarking on a 20 day sailing next year and would like to purchase AARP gift cards to pay for our onboard account. We would like to put something like $3,000 to 4,000 onto our account. (We charge our casino spending to our room). Does anyone know what the maximum amount is? I have called Princess, and they are clueless as to what I am talking about.

Am I incorrect reading that I am no longer allowed to bring a 12 pack of canned soda aboard? I only drink diet, non- caffeinated sodas. I do not drink any alcoholic beverages, so the "Have it all package" is out. My husband and I drink 1 coffee a day, then sodas, so The quench package make no sense. So it appears I am going to be required to purchase the soda package and hope the ship has caffeine free coke or Sprite Zero?? This is my first trip back on Holland since the shutdown, and I am getting frustrated at all their changes. Even the "each" person in the stateroom must purchase rule is frustrating. Before the shutdown, we had a 10 day cruise where they had ZERO diet sodas, caffeinated or not. They ran out the prior cruise and it was not replenished prior to us leaving Ft. Lauderdale. I had purchased a soda package at the time, and had a hard time getting it refunded, as regular soda were available. I had to drink iced tea until we got to a port where I could purchase and bring some on.

Is there anywhere on this board I might be able to see some of the current dinner menus? Not interested in specialty dining, just regular MDR.I am somewhat a picky eater, so if I will be eating in the buffet every night, no need to pack clothing suitable for the dining room. Thanks.

Got the QR code today. Yahhhhh. The boarding times are 11:30am- 3:30pm. Then we sit until 7pm. I guess New York wants the sales tax for drinks.

I know they discontinued set arrival times, but how do I know what the window is? Our ship is not leaving until 7pm. Do we still check in at 11am or so? Also, when is the QR code supposed to load? I thought it was supposed to be 11 days prior, and I am 10 days and nothing.
