Hello Sailing RC for the second time next year on Icon. One thing that drives me crazy about this cruise line is the uncharges and extra charges for every little thing that would otherwise be included. On our first trip we splurged for the cabana service, which was wonderful for a large family, however this next trip it's just three of us and though we want guaranteed seating, the price just isn't worth it. Can you give me some insight as to what the rest of the island is like outside the cabanas in trying to get a seat, including an umbrella? Where can we tell if other RC ships will be in port at the same time? I cannot imagine another ship sharing the island with Icon. But if we are, I'd like to know in advance to pay the premium for a seating quieter area. As I've never walked around Coco Cay, only been in the cabana, just wondering how cut throat it is to get seating. Is there actually enough seating for all or no? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hello, I have responded to our concierge who said they are available by email to help with something and I am not getting an email back. Is there some other way to get in touch with the concierge on Oasis?

If you have the deluxe drink package that includes everything, can you get additional canned sodas and bottled waters to bring back to your room?

I saw that clothes steamers are not allowed, so if those are not allowed what about irons in the room? How does one de wrinkle clothing for dinner and formal nights?

Our three teens are in one room, we are in another. 🙂

I absolutely cannot believe they are charging for soda on something that's supposed to be an all inclusive trip for the cheapest thing out there. What non alc drinks ARE included!?

Thanks. How is the paid wifi? Is it worth buying or slow and glitchy?

Thanks. we have three teens in one room with very little space, I really do need some answers on those beds!

Been a long time since we've cruised and only on Disney. Going on Oasis soon and would like to ask about the room attendant. Can you request the time of service each day? Do they put the beds back to original form in the morning and pull them out at night (for the kids room where one comes out of the wall I think and one is a couch). What else should we or should we not expect from our room attendant?

Good morning, It's been a very long time since we've cruised and we've only ever done Disney before. Cruising on Oasis in a couple of weeks and wanted to hear how embarkation day works? After check in, what/how soon will we have room access? When will our luggage arrive to our room? How/when are we informed of our disembarkation time and how does that work? Does the luggage go outside the door the night before? How smooth or chopping generally speaking is the RC process for these things? Thank you!

What are the order of the theme nights? How would you find this out in advance of your cruise?

Is boarding time something we are assigned or do we choose it somehow? Any advantages or disadvantages to earlier or later? Same for disembarkation? Is it assigned? If so, when? Can we request early or late?

Is the only way to text between phones of people in your party to sign up for their internet package? I know my husband and I will likely want the internet, however I'm thinking if there's not another way or onboard wifi with a Royal Caribbean app or something where you can communicate with your party then we might want to add one of our kids phones to the internet plan too, so we can text with them when the adults and kids are separated? Please help me out and explain to me how party communication works here. It's our first time on RC. Thank you.

I've only ever cruised on DCL before and our first time on RC. We are a family of five with 3 teens. Adults will be drinking and love fine dining, major foodies, so if the regular main stream food is not very good or basic cruise fare, or a buffet, we'd definitely like to eat in better restaurants. If you buy a dining package, does the whole family have to get the same one? How does the dining work on RC? Do you get an assigned time or restaurant or go anywhere anytime and what/how many restaurants are an upcharge and do those need reservations? Are they limited availability? Please tell me all you can. 🙂 Thank you!!!

In researching different excursion possibilities for St. Martin I found some not so old articles an a RC warning about unrest on the French side, which is the side we are leaning towards for our excursion. Is this still an issue there currently? Has anyone been there recently?
