My suggestion would be Allure or Harmony. I've found that there are still connecting staterooms for several summer sailings, but not many.

On our HOTS 2/24 Sailing the price on board was $55.

I thought you had to call TA to make payments rather than pay Royal direct if you used a TA. Is that not the case, just booked through TA for first time and didn’t think I could pay the remaking fare direct to Royal???

I'm sorry...I just came across your question! We loved the location. It wasn't noisy and it's convenient.

Question - is there a webcam on Harmony?

Ok - that was my thought! I've been on Oasis & Allure ...assumed it was the same. Royal's website is very misleading!

Question for you...is there a big screen by the pool?

I have a link to Harmony (from Royal's website) that shows it, but my thought is the pic is from either Anthem or Quantum.

Yes but unfortunately they do not allow you to use OBC you purchase. We found this out the hard way as we purchased OBC for 2 friends as gifts. Our thought was they would use the credit to help purchase drink packages. We waited and waited for the credit to show in the cruise planner and it never did. I called Royal and was told no, it could only be used onboard.

I don't know if this is a solution, but would the cruise line allow you to purchase onboard credits and then when you have accumulated enough credits, apply towards alcohol package.

This is a good idea...but just know if you purchase onboard credit, it will not be available to spend until you are onboard. (So not available to use in your cruise planner)

It's still a great way to save up and have money to spend.

Funny was just taking with friends about how all the drinks taste the same. I'm all for new drink mixes. 🤞they taste better. IMHO there's a lot of room for improvement on the drinks!!

Hmm so this has me confused. Wonder if HOS had the sale or if I just missed it. Since we already purchased our packages it's hard to check the price. When I look in my cruise planner it just says $43 a day.

Our Allure cruise in January '18 started out at $55 and then two weeks ago the price went down to $46. Earlier this past week it went down to $43. I just checked again a few minutes ago and they are having a BOGOHO sale ($43 & $21.50). Keep in mind that those prices do not include gratuities.

Were you actually able to purchase at this price?

Just curious as I see Royal is having a BOGOHO sale, but nothing mentioned in my cruise planner when I go to the drink packages, excursions, etc. Then since we already purchased I cannot add to my cart to view the checkout price.

Our drink packages were $403.56 (total including gratuities) for a 9 day cruise.

Not sure if this helps...but last October 9th we got our best deal for our drink packages for our February cruise. (Caribbean) Although prices were better last September than they are right now.

Good to know....I'm fairly certain prices onboard are always higher these days. Is the only discount for D+ or higher?

Just curious...when "should" you be able to make MTD reservations? When the other dining reservations open up? Or later?

If I had to pick 1 it would be Majesty of the Seas. To me, it was just too small of a ship. I could feel the rocking and the cabins are small (at least the 1 we had). Another thing I didn't like was it did not have a Promenade. It was much more of what I would call a "booze cruise". But, in all fairness we went at the beginning of March. I personally prefer the Freedom class of ships best.

First of all...If you let Royal or your TA know that you have a C-Pap machine, they will provide the distilled water and an extension cord.

My husband uses a machine and on our last 3 cruises these items have been in our cabin upon arrival.

As far as on NOTS, my husband did have his extension cord at the foot of the bed as I think that was the only place to put it. We tucked the extension cord up under the bed and it wasn't a problem for either of us. But, I would let your room steward tape it down if you decide you need it.

I do not have an answer for you, but will tell you that we have a cruise booked for February of 2018 and I'm getting the same message that you are.

We used Royal's Private Journeys to book a private sail/snorkel while on Navigator in February. The sailing was through Blue Bay Sailings and you can also book directly with them.

The Plaza Beach resort offers day passes. We only walked through to get to the marina, but it seemed nice and not too crowded. It was just a short drive from the port.

Sorry I'm late to this...but we just did a sail/snorkel with Blue Bay Sailing and we were very happy with them. We had 10 in our party. We sailed, then snorkeled, then sailed some more and had snacks and beer, wine, & rum punch. Would definitely recommend.

In February we did a private sail/snorkel with Blue Bay Sailing. It was wonderful and I would highly recommend it. We booked through Royal Caribbean's Private Journeys, but you can also book directly. We were picked up at the port and it was just a short ride to the marina. If you have any questions, please just let me know.

We've booked with an online travel agency the last several times and 100% has been charged to my RCCL Visa.
