Are shots included in the Deluxe Beverage Package? If so, can you order a shot and a beer? Does Royal cut you off like Carnival?

^^^^^what he said. That's what we did. I have a cooler backpack for this specific reason. Going back in May.
What do you take off? I believe they open the beers..

Hello! I will be sailing on the Sunrise on 5/27/19 - getting off as you are getting on 6/10/19! We booked this cruise on Black Friday and Early/Late Seating were both waiting list only at that time... We are Gold on Carnival after this cruise will be Platinum so IDK if loyalty helps us clear the list faster but by the first week of December we got the email with our desired seating. What level of membership are you?

Hi All,
We will be traveling to Half Moon Cay for the first time on the Carnival Sunrise in May...
Has anyone been there recently know if they still offer a drink package for $25 (15 drinks) as stated below on cruise critic?
Also, wanted to know about the HAL kids club and does it apply to Carnival sailings? Is that secure kids programming similar to Disney's on Castaway Cay?
Good to Know
You'll pay extra for alcohol, even if you have an unlimited package booked on your ship. A Half Moon Cay package is available for about $25 that gets you 15 drinks for your day on shore. Passengers can rent private air-conditioned cabanas or two-story beach villas if they want to escape the crowds, but these can book quickly as there might be other ships in port at the same time. Many expenses -- such as drinks, activities and souvenirs at the line's island shop -- can be put on passengers' onboard accounts. However, for purchases at the straw market, you'll need cash.
Also good to know for families with kids in tow, there is a Club HAL kids' club on the island, for parents who want to make sure their kiddos are enjoying some supervised time on shore, while they lounge one-on-one (or visit the massage cabana).

Hi All --
We will be on the 14 Day Sunrise (Triumph) to Panama from NYC this May... We are squeezing 4 into an interior on Deck 6 so I would like to bring along some heavy duty magnets to hang my shoe organizer etc... Are the walls and doors on the Triumph metal? Also, do they allow Command Strips on Interior Walls or only on the doors for door decorations? Thanks!!!
-
Hi All-- Would anyone have any recent Fun Times from the Triumph? Thanks in advance!

Thanks all we just took advantage of the extended Cyber Monday Sale and pulled the trigger! So excited... 14 Day round trip from our home port NYC to Panama Cruise. Now only 178 days to go! I am just worried I'll be hooked to 14 day cruises from now on! I see B2Bs in my future...

Hi -- My husband and I are considering a 14 Day Panama Cruise from NYC on Carnival Sunrise May 2019. He is concerned about being bored on the ship that long -- Do they have different shows -- he thinks the will repeat the headline shows... ? Also, will they change up dining menus or repeat? How many formal nights?

Hi -- we are not new to Carnival but it is our first time cruising Carnival with our girls (ages 6 & 8). We took them on DCL last year and it was FABULOUS so I hope our upcoming trip on the Horizon lives up to their standards! ;) We are planning on doing the 8:15pm dinner seating ... Just wondering do they give out crayons & a coloring sheet to keep the kids busy until their food arrives? I am debating on whether to bring my own activity book for them... We really enjoyed Disney's dine & play program where the counselors would take the kids to the kids club around 9 after they ate so the adults could enjoy a leisurely dinner.
-
Thanks and any idea if they allow them in the "Hot Tubs"?
-
After 7pm when the pool opens to the public... is it still 12 years old+? We have a well behaved 6 year old & a 8 year old but we'd love to check it out in the evening.....
-
I believe a yellow cab charges a $50 flat rate from JFK... LGA is probably the same if not slightly less being that it closer... I would just grab a cab from the taxi stand or UBER. Which sailing are you on ? We are on the July 3rd..

Hello All,
My Husband and I are considering a back to back cruise July 5 & 8 2019 on the Mariner of the Seas. We have never done a B2B before... Can someone explain Royals policy on how the "reembarkation" works? If we can get the same stateroom I imagine we won't have to move our belongings?
Thanks!
-
Hello all,
We are Platinum members but haven't sailed Royal in a while... What are recent Onboard Offers are preloaded to your SeaPass card?.
Thanks in advance!
-
Obviously we haven't stayed on Lido on the Horizon YET! However... whenever possible this is our #1 deck of choice. We love being so close to the pool/BARS/buffet. We don't spend a lot of time in our room so noise is never really a factor.
-
Anyone on the horizon please post/send me your fun times i would greatly appreciate it!!!! stephanie.krauss@aol.com
-
I hear you... I got the same run around from them. I tried everything... you best bet is to just keep checking that website... time slots DO open ... I think if you are already waitlisted you should be OK.
-
You have plenty of time still just keep checking online every few days under my cruise details and click on the change dining and see if it opens up. We just booked our cruise at the end of January for the July 3rd sailing on the Horizon and had almost the same situation with 4 cabins (we too wanted to dine together). We wanted late dining... we originally booked 2 cabins for my husband, myself and 2 children. Another week later, another couple and my parents decided to book and there was no availability on the wait list for anything except MTD. We were waitlisted for late dining -- about 2 weeks later we got an email that they had availability for late dining and that 2 of 4 cabins were switched. I kept checking and 1 slot opened for early dining so 1 cabin grabbed it. Then I was able to get my parents waitlisted for early dining then finally on late seating. By checking like every other day I was able to get all of us on the late seating. As it is getting closer to final payment people might be changing their plans and you will probably see more availability. If all else fails, head right to the maître'd when you board and they should help you.

Contact Polina Grytsenko Specialty Restaurant Manager Carnival Cruise Line
I needed to contact the Maitre'd on the Horizon also and she passed my request along and got a response within 24 hours ... or you can try the Horizon Steakhouse Manager HZSUPPER@carnival.com but I find Polina much more responsive.

Would anyone sailing on the Horizon in the next few weeks PLEASE post their Fun Times and the children's activities would also be greatly appreciated if possible!!!! Thank you in advance!!

I am hoping someone can help me... I see on Carnival.com it says the height requirements for the water slides are 48" ... is this restriction to ride alone or can a smaller child ride with an adult? My kids are 46" & 44" ...

As far as the bottled water, they will charge you for it if ordered through room service. Since you have CHEERS I would order a few throughout the day to leave in your staterooms to have with your morning breakfast. TIP: You can only get the large size water bottle in the dining room so order with your dessert and take it with you!
Dining Room Dress Code
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted
Hi all! We are sailing on the Indy next month... returning to RCCL after sailing quite a few years with Carnival. We have gotten used to the ultra lax (non-existent) dress code on Carnival... My husband is now used to wearing nice jeans/t-shirt to dinner and I'm trying to see if that flys on Royal. Does he need a collared shirt on casual nights? It's a 4 Day Western and we are flying so trying to pack carry on only... Thanks in advance!
