On my first cruise many years ago I gained 6 lbs.  I was horrified.  I have never gained more than a pound since.  Temptations are every where.  I try to walk every day,  take the stairs and avoid the buffet

We have requested them before the cruise and the cord and water were in the cabin when we arrived.

We are thinking about doing the horseback riding as an excursion in September.  I would love to know what someone who has done this thinks of it.

Total wine it is.  I went on their website and they have the wine I want and I can order ahead of time.  Thank you so much for all your recommendations.  I love this forum. 😍

PREACH!!!  Also get the search to allow you to pick this forum only when using mobile device.

It took me awhile to realize that I can search easily on my laptop but not on my cell phone.  I hardly ever use my laptop 

Any suggestions where to have the taxi stop to get wine on our way to Port Everglades.  We will be coming from the airport.  Couldn’t fly in day before for work obligations

Dang, and I thought that the $159 Margaritaville Pool Cabana in Grand Turk for our upcoming Holland America cruise was insulting 😂

Now that’s a bargain.  HAL obviously doesn’t know how much they can really get for that cabana.  Keep it a secret

I haven’t been to Coco Cay yet and not really in a hurry to do so. It looks like a theme park.   I miss the old Labadee too.  Remember, the one that had a few excursions but mainly it was a definite beach day with family and friends.   I realize that many of you are looking for that and that’s why RCCL built it.  Boy....I’m showing my age here.  Lol 😆 

Thank you for such a quick response.  I knew I could count on you.  Is there some sort of trick to using the search bar?  I can never find anything .

I have tried numerous times to figure out the search system on this site.  It’s crazy.  The old system was so much easier.  So I saw this answer somewhere here but can’t find it.  I would like to know what is offered in the soda machines besides Coca Cola.  Was hoping maybe some seltzer or sparkling water.

The intro of Royal Up seems to have shifted the timing of GTY assignments.

I think you’re correct.

And this is why I don't book through a Travel agent. Too many operating out of their garage as a hobby only to receive benefits for themselves.

Wow!!!! I thought this site was to help other cruisers, not belittle them. Your remarks were offensive to me and probably most on this site.

I kind of thought that would be the answer.  Wishful thinking.  Not sure if I would do gty again.  The only other time  I did it, I was notified in less than a week.  😎

I just checked my cruise on the Allure for next month and according to Royal’s website, all cabins are sold out.  Does that mean I may be going to get an assigned cabin # shortly?  

Love coconut rum mojitos at Boleros.  

Thank you for the quick reply 

Other than the luggage tags,  what else do I need to print?  Please, I hope it’s not all 17 pages.  I have already printed the set sail papers.

We're 30 days out and received our email with stateroom numbers today.

 

I didn’t know they will email us. I can stop checking my set sail pass.  I check it every day.

Of course that is presuming you normally pay for the fresh squeezed juice, bottled water and specialty coffees. If you are ok with the free juice and water and don’t need specialty coffees, now you’re back to the 4-5 alcoholic drinks to hit the break even point. Also remember, that’s every day. 

If your on a 7 day cruise to Bermuda you are most likely going to be in Bermuda for close to 3 days.  That’s 3 days of not being on the ship much.  You’ll be buying your drinks on shore.

If it is a Royal Caribbean Visa gift card, it will show up a couple weeks before sailing.  

 

I have called and had them apply it up to 7 weeks before, to use for cruise planner items. 

No. It’s a RCCL gift card.  My son received it.

i wonder how you found out your deck is 12. someone told me the longer you wait the better so i will be patient. 

My sea pass says gty deck 12 muster D03

We prefer to get to the port later.  If we time it right, we can go directly to our cabin

I redeemed a gift card for obc but I can’t find it applied to my account.  Do I need to wait till I get on board to see it applied?

I’m sailing on Allure in September and I have my muster station on my set sail pass too

I also have a neighborhood balcony gty.  I only know I’m on deck 12 and muster station is D03.  I think it’s fun checking each day for my cabin #.  I will probably get more anxious as the cruise gets closer.
