Glad you asked this because this was the answer I was needing!

HI all, I have early dining on Beyond at 6:00 pm. How does this work with the 4 different main dining rooms? I must have had any time dining when I was on Edge and was able to make reservations at the different restaurants online. This time I can’t because I’m locked into a dining time.

So, I have never sailed royal solo AND had early dining. I’ve had my time dining the past. If I am solo and have early dining, am I still sitting by myself at a table for 2 or will I be seated at a table with a group of people?

I’m gold on MSC, almost diamond. Don’t think the “perks” are worth it and I shouldn’t have to ask for my fruit or free gift (a bag). I would be happy to NOT have to ask for a flat sheet to sleep under or washcloths... ugh.

Thought so, I know a certain cruise line limits what specialty dining can be booked in advance and then spots open up when on board. Didn’t know if this was a similar thing with Royal, but for excursions.

Yes, I know 😉

Hi all, I’m going on Voyager to Canada/New England on October 23. I am late to the game of shore excursions since I have been busy with something else for the past 6 weeks. Well of course the majority of Royal Caribbean shore excursions are shown as sold out and slim pickings are left. Not sure how Royal handles this. Are they really sold out or will more slots open up once I’m on board? Trying to plan this cruise now. TIA

Umbrellas available near pool... free or $$$? Really white lady that can’t sit in sun all day lol

I will have to research that. I have not committed to anything. I understand how your husband feels about ribeye!

THANKS for the response. But I do have to laugh at the yacht club... no I’m not in yacht club. Now I just have to figure out if it’s worth the $$ to get the meals. I am use to getting free/freeish specialty dining with NCL.

Hi all - I have a cruise booked on Seashore for 14 days. I am considering adding the specialty dining before the cruise. Is it cheaper to add it then or is it the same price on the ship? I was thinking of doing the 4 restaurant package, but I think they book when the meals are. I just wouldn’t want all my meals scheduled for the first seven days. I would want them spread out over 2 weeks. Anyone have experience with any of the above situations? TIA

That makes sense. Thanks

Hi all, I’m gold status on MSC. I’m supposed to get a complimentary one-hour thermal area session (once per cruise). I have a 14 day cruise booked with MSC on Seashore. Do I get 1 hour total for the 14 days or is once per 7 days? It’s a back to back that was booked as a 14 day cruise. You confused yet? 😉

The reward is for up to 2 people, but you can use it solo. You pay the port fees, taxes and tips for 1 person. They will probably put you in a balcony cabin.

I don’t know… but that band made my cruise last September on Meraviglia!

Yes it works on gift cards. I already have my $40 credit

Ha I could have posted this verbatim! I’m so disappointed my fav beach club is permanently closed.

Question for those who used the offer. How soon did the amex email confirming you used the offer come after you made your payment? I made a $500 payment on my card and hubby’s, but no email yet. Usually it comes pretty quickly after paying.

You can buy a physical card or a digital one. I just sent myself a digital gift card. I’ll use it on something with carnival in the future.

I just used the offer to buy a carnival gift card for $100 from carnival directly. I don’t have a cruise booked right now, but don’t want to lose the offer!

While it doesn’t really say, I can’t imagine it being used endlessly to get $40 back for every $100 you spend. It should be a one and done.

I have it on my United Chase card. I have NO offers of any kind of my chase amazon card. Weird. Trying to figure out how to use this offer as I don’t have a cruise booked with carnival right now.

MSC only sails out of Miami and Port Canaveral (in the US) right now. Later they will be out of NYC. No, I haven’t seen them offer OBC.

I got a large balcony when I got my free MSC cruise a couple of years ago.
