I'm looking at a 2026 booking. Does anyone know if this Family "suite" come with any suite amenities or is it treated like all other non-Haven room types?

Day 7 of 8. This afternoon Captain Erik advised we would make a detour in Turks to off board an ill passenger. We arrived 8 pm local time. Latest update is air transport will be here about 11:30 pm local time for the passenger. We are due back in Port Canaveral Saturday morning. No details provided.

I’m on her now. Be an early riser and you won’t have a problem.

The pre paid arcade games are a POA. Give the parents cash and apply it to the bill. Royal does not offer an unlimited arcade pass. Depending on the ship, you’ll be in luck if half the machines work.

I always enter the shorter line with MTD. No one really cares. They just want to move the folks through.

Go to the dining room when you board and ask to switch to early seating. They will find room for your family.

I would call your TA or Royal to make sure all three cabins are linked together and give them this scenario. My concern is the minor child checking in with grandma who doesn’t have the correct documents to “travel” with the child without her parents. If the parties (rooms) aren’t linked, royal only sees a minor child with a non parent in a room.

MTD doesn’t open until 6:45. There will be a long line of folks trying to get in for a table. They will seat everyone until the sections are full. You could be seated for 15-20 mins until you are acknowledged because they still treat you like traditional dining- they want the servers to serve a group of tables at the same time, at the same pace. We like to eat around 7:30-8pm. We have a standing reservation at 7pm all week because we tend to get our appetizers around 7:30 on past cruises. Editing to comment that the concept of a real restaurant set up is so foreign to them. Heaven forbid you just want an entree and leave.

Yes! We did this on enchantment and upgraded to a GS for $100 total. Those were the days. Now they put up a sign that says no upgrades available 🤣

Our holiday adventure cruise showed nearly all the GS still open when I received our bid up offers this week. The min is $175 pp. I booked two rooms so bid the min on both. We’ll see what happens. I’ve never won a bid so far!

If a 250 lbs+ woman can wear a triangle bikini top and thong bottom, you can fully cover yourself to save your life. I wish I had her self confidence! Point being, people wear all kinds of swim garments. Yours is no different than anyone else’s.

Don’t cancel your plans just for a girl (or guy). Rebook the cruise and enjoy your birthday sans drama.

Uber or a taxi from the hotel is your best bet. I can’t recall if the pub has tv’s, but you should ask guest services if they will be showing the game anywhere on the ship. Adventure doesn’t have a sports pub with a ton of tvs, but Royal is known to show popular games on the outdoor screen near the pool. Have a terrific time and get some sleep! Long flight tomorrow 🙂

If your 12 year old is not ready for teen club, just enroll them in the 9-11 group on board. It’s up to the manager, but I never had any trouble. Editing to add that my kids were paired with 12-14 year olds and the 15-17 were paired together. They seemed to do their activities within the young teen groups.

Check the sailings prior to yours. I’m the app, swipe left and click “select a different cruise”. Pick the ship and then look at sailing occurring now and in august to see if the menu is up. I always check the sailing or two before mine to check out the menus and activities.
