travelgarn Posted October 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I just booked Independence OTS that leaves out Monday 10/3. This is my first cruise on RCCL. New to Royal but not new to cruising - my 28th overall. I have been reading as much as possible! I've purchased UDP and soda package. We don't drink alcohol. Check in is done. Trying to absorb as much information as possible before I pull out the suitcases to pack. 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted October 1, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2022 You’ve got it. No more information will help you. Enjoy your cruise and don’t sweat the small stuff. You will cruise again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted October 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I'd head to any specialty restaurant and book your dining locations and times first. After that, peruse the ship and scout out any things that might interest you, locations to lay out in the sun etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I would suggest not getting the dining package on your first RC cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a previous poster stated, I would go to the MDR the first time I cruised on a cruise line for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little different from Carnival and not quite as intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
