Your mileage varies on this one. I've had 2 different cruises, and various linked rooms, but none of us can see the others financial info, except on board credit amount. We can log into someone else's cruise and purchase something, but must use our form of payment, not theirs, even if saved. Learned that helping my parents. I thought it was travel agent vs non, but someone else said that's not been their experience.

Open app, make sure you are signed in. Click on the person icon at the top. Where it says 'your sailing' click on the 'Select a different Cruise' link. Where it says 'upcoming Cruise' click show all. Scroll to the bottom and click ' don't see your cruise? Add it now' Put the info in, and the screen usually shows thinking and then does nothing. Go back to home and see if it shows both reservations.

Did the same for Cartagena. The Royal tour you must be 12, the independent tour has no minimum age. No idea why Royal has a minimum age on that tour!

We were there on a fully booked Oasis (lots of 4 in the room) and Jewel of the Seas April (Spring Break) 2023. We vetoed the water park and I'm glad we did. The lines for that weren't bad for the first 30 min, but by 11 am the slide lines were long! We heard one person say they waited 45 min for the slide around 12:30pm. Those lines stayed until 4pm, and all aboard was 4:30 for both ships. Our group had kids 5, 10, 11,12, and 16-18. They just played on all the free stuff and enjoyed themselves. We switched to the back beach and that was quieter with more chairs available.

You do realize that these same threats exist at college in the US? Many schools have private police dept, and don't always work with the local police. It's bad public relations for college sexual violence information to get out to the public. 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men will be sexually assaulted at college on average. I'm pretty sure Labadee hasn't reached those numbers.

Another thing I considered: what would I spend on the drinks I want to have? Just like alcohol packages, what's my break even with a drink package? That helped me know where the price was worth it. We had $19.99/day for oasis 2023, bought black Friday 2022. We have $23.99/day for Brilliance in October 2024, bought black Friday 2023.

I read the original post as: parents and grandparents and kids get off ship. Grandparents are done, kids are done, but parents want to stay on the island and enjoy another drink. Can the grandparents reboard with the kids and leave the parents on the island? (See post #4) We did. My minor got off the ship with his grandparents, we were grabbing waters and hadn't made it off yet. We went to a different boarding point than the grandparents getting back on the ship.

Isn't it to Royal's benefit to let people pay full price for prime dining reservations, and use the UDP customers to fill in the leftover availability? Like, getting top price for the 6-8 dining slots makes sense. Land restaurants do the same with happy hours early, and dining specials from 4-6pm.

Our minor got off with his grandparents. And got back on with us in CocoCay. My younger minor niece got off with her grandparents and back on with us in Puerto Rico. I don't remember having any issues with that and we all have different last names.

So, your experience may vary I guess. I can't see payment information for linked reservations. And I couldn't see it for our oasis cruise. However, we linked them at Royal's site, not through our ta. Maybe that's the difference?

We used the linked reservation option for a family cruise last year on Oasis. It was great! I was able to get on and make reservations for the comedy show for the adults, Aqua80 for everyone (but 1 kid, long story, but too many reservations and 5 people in a room complicated the linking a bit), Laser tag, etc. it was easy to pull up and see who in our group wanted to do something, and see if there was enough space for everyone. I was also able to help get everyone check-in times together because I had that access. It was especially helpful traveling with my parents who are technology challenged. I was able to make the internet and soda package reservations and they just paid for it. Super helpful for them. It was also helpful when figuring out shore excursions and CoCoCay things. Side note: if you use a travel agent, you can't see payment dates, etc for linked guests.

They were on my cruise in Sept. 2024 on Black Friday. Drinks were 35% off: $56.99/DBP and $23.99 Refreshment.

Maybe. Federally: No, you aren't on the hook. States? Maybe. Some states have laws that will bill you if they find you were negligent. Other states have laws that if you were in out of bounds areas, you will be billed for the rescue. It can vary.

If it helps, we booked Sept 2024 LA to New Orleans in April 2023, right when it was released.
