We had a table for 12 on Adventure several years ago. It was impossible to hold a conversation. In hindsight we wish we had had 2 tables for 6.

Are you and your wife using different cards to settle your onboard accounts? When we cruise, I enter a credit card for me and then say I am paying for my wife's account also. I put all of the OBC in my name since I am the one paying for both of us. If you and your wife will be setting up separate accounts, you can use the share option so that you both have some OBC to use.

You can have it dedicated to just you or you can share with anyone you want. Your cabinmate, somebody in another cabin, anyone. You'll need their name and cabin number but I don't think you need their reservation number. I always have it just me. Technically, it's also shared with my wife because I pay her onboard account.

To each their own. ^^^This^^^. The 3rd party tour companies know the cruise ship schedules. Their reputation and future business depend on them being reliable.

Yes, they can. Once the points are redeemed, they now become cash. If you have to cancel, they will not go back on your card as points but they WILL go back as cash.

You don't have to start over. My daughter got married last year so she had a name change. She called C&A to make the change. She retained all of her C&A points. It was quick and easy.

I usually redeem mine 6-12 months out and I always get a confirmation within 2-3 days.

Royal loves to raise the price on things and then give a percentage off so you think you're getting a deal.

If you have not done it yet, ask your TA (or RCI if you booked direct), to link your reservations and request a table for four. I always email rcldining@rccl.com at about 4 weeks out and make a request to them also.

I usually do it soon after I book. That way it becomes available for pre-cruise purchases.

It can be used for onboard expense including the casino.

If you haven't done it already, let your TA know (or Royal if you booked direct) what you would like. Then, 2 -3 weeks before your cruise (I usually do 4 weeks) send an email to rcldining@rccl.com and make the request to them.

We also bring a small battery operated light for the bathroom. It's a push on/push off type light. There is enough ambient light in the room for us to find the bathroom and then we just turn the light on when we get in there.

Get yourself checked in and grab a check-in time. As Biker19 said, your group can all check in together at your scheduled time. You don't need to fill in information for anyone else but if you do, it can all be changed up to 48 hrs. before departure date.

I just had the same experience.
