wasn't there a poster who threw them in the trash?
Seems like a good idea to me. I haven't done it, but have been tempted. There was a time when this was fun, now it's just annoying.

If my family are in 5 different cabins and all 5 reservations are linked am I allowed to get us all the same check in time when it becomes available? Will I need to put in all the information for everyone at that time or once our time is confirmed can they each go in and enter their individual documentation and credit card information?
I took some extended family recently. We had 6 cabins total. When check-in opened I used the app to get everyone the same check-in time. I then entered everyone's information. No problems. When the cruise docs were ready I stored everyone's on Drive and printed copies as well as being able to rely on the app. I gave everyone copies prior to heading to the port. This worked out well as we were in different cabs and got separated. Bottom line is it was easy.

We're Diamond members on RCCL. Coastal Kitchen is not much of a restaurant. We actually walked out twice during our last cruise because the food and the service was so bad. And went to the Windjammer to get some "real" dinner.
On small ships, the breakfast service in Chops is abysmal.
CK is nice for breakfast...Chops less so, but at least you don't have to fight the crowds. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a nice treat in both.

On the recent benefit chart, the pins are still listed for Diamond and above.

Barrachina's is fun...especially if you can see the show.

I have not seen flavored creamers in the suites. They do have (at times) these latte packets. If flavored creamer is important, I'd bring some. FWIW, I consider the Lavaza just wasted space. The coffee is terrible, and I usually do not use it. I do like what is in the lounge. My wife likes her instant and she askes for a kettle, as the Lavaza machine is too loud.

I think Express is an SSL/VPN solution, and I have never had issues with them.

Of course, if you have drink vouchers, you can use them AND/OR you can also get bottles during happy hour. (11 - 11 if you're on a ship with a CK)

I suggest you bring everything you can think of and then some. If something isn't right, you now have a 15YO to take care of, who will not be going on the cruise. This very thing happened to my sister and I remember talking to a woman who had to leave half her family behind when her niece could not board.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but you should be aware that when things go wrong, they go WAY wrong.

It's a nice ride over the mountains to get from Hilo to Kona, and you get a chance to see the Keck, and possibly even snow.

A pinnacle sailing in a suite *IS* a suite guest. I don't understand why you refuse to accept that and continue to troll everyone about their assumptions.
I never said they weren't. I was addressing a specific comment about a Pin needing to use their vouchers in the lounge.
The comment wasn't directed to you...

f we are a suite and having dinner in Coastal Kitchen
My experience has been that if are staying in a full suite, and you order a drink while in CK (11 - 11) they just bring it to you and do not use a voucher. (something is clearly wrong with the comment attribution, but hopefully the person who asked the question will see this)

Don't you think that poster could have stated that comment (which was quoted to and was aimed at me) as more of a general statement? Something like "Pinnacles not in a suite do not receive free drinks in the SL". That would have been more to the point, stating the obvious.
No, I don't. Nor do I feel there's any need to state "the obvious." What I don't understand is why you do. Repeatedly. Nobody has suggested that Pinnacles who are also suite guests should be denied suite benefits.
As for the "You", why get riled? You know you get the benefits. Perhaps the poster was unaware that "You" were staying in a suite. Perhaps they were using "You" to mean a group, Pinnacles.
Do Pinnacles get bashed? Yes, do they deserve it, sometimes. Maybe we need to start bashing the Emeralds? Those sneaky so and so's snuck right in between Platinum and Diamonds. Who do they think they are? 😉

You don't get free drinks in the SL any more. Only Suite guests.
OK.....so you assume all Pinnacles sail in inside cabins???

What would be the cheapest way to get 30 points as a single occupant? I need to get 30 Royal Carribean points asap.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it...

But the price in general for a Haven suite on NCL is very much higher too!
Thanks for the comments. FWIW, I see the prices are higher at NCL too. I happen to have a similar cruise booked on Royal, and the NCL cost is ~$200.00 per day more.

Most Caribbean cruises don't care. My wife did it once. No problem.
-
Personally I find the coffee awful. The machine in the lounges has a decent cup though. Wife brings instant, and prefers that.

As Royal regulars we've reached the point where we don't think Royal's suite experience is worth the price
I'd agree. I feel like Royal has ignored the suite guests for too long, and it's annoying to pay a premium price knowing this.

Another thing on MSc is they do status match
What do you need to do to get the status match?
Radiance and hiding ducks?
in Royal Caribbean International

I have seen several for what appear to be good causes, as well as obvious advertising. At some point I started to feel like it was just littering. Especially when the ducks end up in places that kids could not easily and safely reach.
