We are on the FOS 5/29. If we do BOGO voom, can we text our girls through Wifi between 2 iPhones?

Thanks.

Looking forward to it! We sail in May, first time on Royal after 9 Disney cruises.

I don't really see any changes, but why do I have the option when looking at deck plans to choose 20-Mar-2016 to 24-Apr-2016 or 01-May-2016 to 22-Oct-2017?

It's so odd, we have 2 rooms and I see the option to pay on our daughters room but not ours. Guess I will have to call, but thanks for trying to help!

I booked by calling the 800 RCCL #, and its time to pay off my cruise. Is there an option to pay it off online? I don't see it a button to click anywhere, but swear I saw it before. Am I just overlooking it???

I know it's a "pay" restaurant, but are they open for lunch on embarkation day? I know we want to try it and thought this may be a fun (and less crowded) way to start our trip.

New to RCCL, we have a cruise booked for 5/29 and since I've booked the price has dropped as few times and I've saved around $150. My question is since they seem to have rooms left, do I have a good chance of getting an even better deal by cancelling and re-booking after my PIF date which is 3/15? I know there is no way to know for sure, I just don't know the trends with Royal.

Perfect! Thanks again :)

I've gotten lots of my questions asked here but still have a few more. We've done 9 Disney cruises but are really looking forward to trying RCCL!

With the Premium drink package, when you want a soda do you have to carry your souvenir cup to get it or is that only for the freestyle machine? Also, our teen girls enjoy lattes and stuff, if we get them the royal replenish package where do they get those?

What extras should we plan for with the teenagers besides Johnny rockets, the cupcake place and the arcade? Are all other places, with the exception of specialty restaurant included?

I currently have late dining but MTD might be better with the teens so they aren't locked in on time, but we really don't like waiting for a table.

If we switch to MTD do we tip differently? I did the pre-paid gratuities but does that change?

Ok, last one... dress code in MDR. Are dress shorts for men/women allowed? Jeans?

Thanks so much!!

Me too :)

As our cruise gets closer, I have a few more questions. Will be get a Port Arrival Time, like on Disney, when we pay in full or can we arrive anytime?

Also, the price of our cruise is only about $14 higher than when I booked but I now see they are offering a $200OBC, can I call and just get them to change our reservation to that or do I have to cancel an re-book? Our PIF date is in March.

Thanks!

Wow Brillohead, AWESOME info! The girls can be social when they want to, so I will make sure they meet up that first night. Great to know about the curfew! The girls usually meet us for dinner, which was nice because we don't usually see them too often while cruising, but I don't want them to missed fun planned activities so maybe I will consider changing to MTD. I feel the same way about early dining, like I am cutting my day short, but I also am the type of person who hates waiting on a table, so I guess I will think on it. Is there any sort of communication between the teens and parents - Disney has the app for your phone that you can text.

Thanks again, really helpful info!

As for the stateroom location, my only concern with it would be that it's immediately under Windjammer. I imagine that could be a little noisy when they're setting up in the morning for breakfast and while service is going on.

I wondered about this also, but I was hoping since it wasn't in the way far back I might be ok. Can I change a guarantee cabin?

Awesome info, thanks everyone!

Any other tips are greatly appreciated, but I feel like I've got a good start and am really looking forward to our first of hopefully many RC cruises!

Big time Disney cruisers but have decided to try RC for quite a few reasons. Price, now have teenagers, alcohol policy change, just to name a few but I am feeling overwhelmed and maybe because I was so familiar with Disney that I don't even know where to start. We booked the Freedom for late May with a guarantee balcony. Already got our stateroom assignment, Deck 10 #1390, seems good from what I can tell. Thoughts?

Ok so when do we start booking specialty restaurants and should we since it's our first cruise?

What drink package should we get for the 2-15YO girls? Normally on Disney they drink the soda but like to have a smoothie or daiquiri at least once a day.

Is there a rainforest type day pass for the spa?

Do we have to book shows and when?

We booked the 830 regular dining because I didn't quite understand the MTD but figure I can change to that.

Sorry for all the questions, I am doing lots of reading to find my answers also, but if anyone wants to direct me to threads I would love that also.

Thanks everyone!

This is our first RCCL (always done Disney) but I booked yesterday and when I looked this morning our room was assigned. Not sure if they can change it or not later, I still have a lot of research to do for Royal :) Oh and our cruise is 5/29/16.

Did you find any info on 1802, we just reserved it also because it appears larger on the deck plans.

Sorry to jump on your thread, but was wondering if you found any details on the actual stateroom, it appears larger than some of the others?

Sorry I know this is an old thread but it popped up on my search. I have 1802 on hold and was wondering if anyone had pics or details of this room yet? Is it any bigger?

Thanks
