    in Saving Money on Your Cruise - Tips & Advice

    Posted · Edited by uscgwife

    Be sure to take a power strip...only one plug in per cabin....in addition to over the door shoe bag, they have an over the door hook that can be used for towels, robes and wet bathing suits there is one on each door but I would take three or four more (just $4 and well worth it)

    Dollar Tree also has plastic containers with lids that work well to put toiltries in...lay them down and cover to travel then when on board stand them up - this keeps them organized and you can just pic up the container and move from wherever to the bathroom etc. If you take on a lot of soda (you can take 12/person, carry on the 12x12x12 cooler allowed (I use a hard sided one for this and take it to pool etc. I also put a soft sided one in my luggage folded up. Most room stewards are glad to keep them filled with ice especially if you tip them a little early on. Also for the 12 carry on sodas per person, put them in a duffle bag or small suit case.. You will drink the soda on board and have an empty case or bag for dirty clothes etc. I am waiting for my eleventh cruise in May so you probably know I love it. As I think of more tips, I will post them.:):o:cool:

     

    As for a power strip I was told about this one on another site. It is on sale for $11 and it is small and easy to pack. I bought one about a week ago and it was $14 then. I am excited to have it for our upcoming cruise.

    Cabin Door Decorations

    in Royal Caribbean International

    I love the idea of door decorations. My son will only be 3 and he likes to find our room when we go anywhere. So I would like him to know which one of ours. :)

     

    Have those of you who have decorated doors in the past find tape/magnets/clings work best? I know some cruise lines (Disney) only allow magnets as they don't want their doors to have sticky residue on them after you remove your decorations.

     

    We are cruising the week before Christmas. I have tinkered with the idea of bringing some battery operated lights with us for the balcony... thoughts?

    Deluxe Cabana on CoCo Cay?

    in Private Islands

    Posted

    I read that the cabana's in Labadee have fans, electrical outlets... do the cabana's at Coco Cay have them? I am thinking about getting one so my 3 year old isn't in the sun all day. What do you do with you items when you go to the water? Are there lockers or a secure place to keep items?

    New all included drinks package...worth it?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    We have both the $45 and $55 package available on our repositioner this April (San Juan to Baltimore). It is a 9 day cruise so there is no way the cost makes sense.

     

    I am intrigued by one thing with these packages.... what if one person in your cabin is pregnant? I totally get that all parties in the room must be on the same package (so no sharing drinks), but what if one person cant drink?

     

     

    I was told by a RCL rep that anyone with a medical condition keeping them from drinking alcohol (pregnancy included) doesn't have to purchase the package. I think you just need a doctors note.:)

    I want you to know that your review of 9404 helped me SO SO much!:D I originally had the cabin below you 8410 booked. I was told by me RCL rep that it had a slider door. Seeing your pics you can tell that indeed it does not.

     

    I just got off the phone with RCL and I now have cabin 9404 booked for our cruise in December!!!

     

    Thank you for the wonderful review!:D
