Has anyone ever purchased an alcohol package? I see on my sailing they are offering a 375 ml. bottle of Absolut Vodka and 4 Sprite cans for $44. This seems like a great bargain vs buying the deluxe beverage package(we are getting the refreshment package). My question: is this in your cabin upon sailing and available to drink during the cruise?

Someone said released 180-120 days prior to cruise, so which is correct ? These became available 26 days from sailing. These room availabilities did not exist yesterday.

Exactly! Releasing these cabins for purchase at higher prices. The rooms I wanted when I bought were not available, but suddenly they are.

I understand last minute cancels, but I'm talking about multiple clusters of 5 rooms connected together on multiple decks, different categories.

Glad I booked my refreshment package last night as it appears to be higher this morning. I was assigned my interior GTY already last week,32 days ahead of cruising. I was looking around today and a bunch of rooms in all categories suddenly became available (talking blocks of 5 in areas of ocean views and balconies) and prices increased, even though it's still the 30% of discounts they continously extend. Is this something RCL does? Make rooms unavailable to be purchased and then make available when they increase their prices? Are they holding out for Royal up bids to make more money out of the people who bought at the lower price? It just seems sketchy to me.

Mine was scheduled 32 days before sail date. 2 days after I booked!

Sorry, I thought I added that. Its Freedom of the Seas. I've only traveled on Mariner and Navigator my past 4 cruises. Freedom is new to me

I'm sorry for posting here. I tried looking at cabin info page, but all it returned was for multiple cruise ships and decks(and yes, I clicked on RC forum). Can anyone post a link for the cabin info? I had interior guarantee and just found out I was put on deck 3. Horrible? Or do I need to put up high bid on royal up? I bid other interiors, obviously denied, but saw a bunch of open balcony rooms. I think bids started at $100p/p for those.

Sorry, FLL. My flight gets in at 9:30 in the morning and I found a hotel that will shuttle.

Hi everyone, I am flying into FLL the day before for our cruise out of Miami next month. Is it better to stay overnight in Miami, or FFL area? Any suggestions for a hotel in the FFL that I can get a shuttle to the port Also, I was considering getting a rental car in Miami port since our flight out of FFL isn't until 5pm, and dont want to spend all day in airport. Obviously the car return would be at FLL. Is this possible? Or any suggestions? Thsnks!

Yes, my quote on Freedom of the Seas is for $83/day now ☹️

As much as I would love to buy the alcohol package, I am trying to justify the cost. What is the ballpark price per alcohol drink?
