I am thinking of giving RCCL ago and am looking at Anthem of the Seas, can anyone help me with some questions please :) 1. Does Royal have an equivalent to Faster to the Fun (ON Carnival you pay a fee and you can board early, debark early and ave priority tendering) ? 2. Whats your favorite food..a Royal signature dish? 3. Any tips you can give me 4. Do any of the specialty restaurants open up for lunch free? 5.

Royal bundles theirs with an internet package for between $20 and $25 per day per person and each person on the cabin must buy it. Specialty restaurants charge for lunch as well as dinner book your shows in the cruise planner once they become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What dining room do they assign when you have set time dining RCCL has The Key, which sounds very similar to Carnival's program. On any cruise line my favorite foods are Lobster and Prime Rib As far as I know, the only way to get free lunch in a specialty is by purchasing a suite or loyalty status. For Traditional Dining, you will be assigned to the Main Dining Room Best tip is to check these boards and Facebook groups for ship specific tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytygr8 Posted January 8, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Does Royal have an equivalent to the ship on a stick? That's all I really want from any cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Royal Caribbean medal on my last Enchantment cruise for Quest. It was pretty cool, but not as cool as the knowledge that I can walk in four inch stilettos without falling down (LOL, the things we do for Quest..........) Not sure if they do the medals anymore as that was in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted January 8, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can only think of two things that are uniquely Royal Caribbean. 1. Their Ranger cookies. Its their coconut oatmeal cookie (I think that's what it is) and 2, the honey stung chicken which is generally a lunch thing, I think. (I don't go to the Windjammer for dinner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the Key, but it is not as good a value as FTTF. 2. Whats your favorite food..a Royal signature dish? Escargot! 3. Any tips you can give me Depends on what ship you're sailing and where you're going. 4. Do any of the specialty restaurants open up for lunch free? Nope. 5. What dining room do they assign when you have set time dining There are numerous main dining rooms on every ship. You will be assigned to one of them.

They are a small colored bead like thing on a small loop of stretchy string. Supposedly, you put them on something like a beer bottle, to show who's bottle is whose.
