  1. It's not worth it if it's more than a couple dollars more than internet.
  2. We got invited on Jewel in March. Best bridge tour I've done. The 2nd officer giving the tour was very knowledgeable and the Captain even joined in and took some Q&A.
  3. Yes and no. It's basis is still valid in many ways, but, not for many cruising scenarios.
  4. No, it's free. It used to be a common thing before the restart. Now they only do it if enough people ask.
  5. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/does-royal-caribbean-offer-luggage-valet
  6. Remember, you don't *NEED* a drink package to drink. Buying drinks a la carte may well be cheaper for you.
  7. Cruisehive picked up the FT story, but also offered nothing additional. They too have become more clickbaity lately.
  8. When an article starts out with strong words like "shockwaves" then has absolutely zero detail or specificity to the problem and uses "unnamed sources" well, I'd like something a bit more specific.
  9. I'm still waiting for a report on this other than Financial Times to provide some real detail on the issue, not some reporter throwing out words like "shockwaves" and getting the likes of Jim Walker all excited.
  10. There are dozens of articles on google about Coco Cay
  11. It's all laid out nicely for you https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/prohibited-items-onboard-policy
  12. The app is universal. There is no separate app for each sailing.
  13. Since this thread was started, the number of people wearing shorts who were struck by lightning upon entering the MDR: 0
  14. That's not true. Faulty doesn't mean ineffective nor does it mean it's an emergency replacement. There are a lot of "faulty" parts on a typical airliner but safety isn't compromised.
  15. What it doesn't say is why they were faulty. It could be something as trivial as screw holes too big and generally unrelated to the fireproof effects. But for a new build, it complicates things due to the strict certification aspect.
  16. Don't think you need a dinner package. That's just an upcharge beyond the complimentary dining options.
  17. They do this all the time. It's a backup plan for last minute cancellations. I once won a RU for a cabin that wasn't available only a week prior to the cruise due to a last minute cancellation.
  18. I noticed that for a cruise at the end of the month. It was nearly sold out, then all of a sudden a couple dozen balcony cabins were available.
  19. We got one last year. I was surprised at the quality for the price. I was expecting something thinner.
  20. You can do this on RC's website via a mock booking. Granted that doesn't necessarily show you all available cabins, but it gives you the general idea.
  21. Only Oasis/Quantum ships have entertainment to pre-book
  22. Noon arrival is really, really cutting it close. Especially in the current flight landscape where delays are more common.
  23. Used to be 2 per stateroom. They just changed it to be per adult.
  24. The menu is not the same. It's more limited. No breakfast wrap, breakfast bowl or burrito on the suite breakfast menu.
