I would suspect that RCL is more likely to have "kids sail for free", rather than X because what X provides for activities for kids isn't as supportive of kids as RCA or other cruise lines.

RCL has Kids Sail Free almost all year around, except summers and holidays. The ships are full of kids all year round, even when they should be in school.

Yes, I was hoping to just have 24 bottles of water delivered to cabin, but will bring on with me, along with the wine. Martinis t the martini bar.

Bring all the water and soda you want.  No limits mentioned anywhere on the website or your cruise documents.

 

I'm bringing a case of water and multiple packs of soda.

Thank you. I’ve looked and didn’t find it written anywhere.

You would think!

buy a package or  pay as you go

smuggling is not a good idea!

I’ll buy my drinks as I go. I’m really wondering about bottled water. RCL has packages wher I can buy water and have it delivered to the room. Looking for Celebrity rules.

Get a beverage package and don’t worry about what you can or can’t bring on the ship, it’s a vacation, enjoy it.

I’m not paying for a beverage package for bottled water.

I’ve been looking for a list of what beverages and amounts of each I can bring on board. Can someone point me in the direction of this info? Thanks.

I’m wondering if others have a problem with swelling feet and legs while cruising?

We are frequent cruisers and I don’t know what to do about this issue, it can be such misery sometimes.

I take prescription diuretics, I am a modest drinker and I try to stay hydrated with water.  I try to be careful with ordering food, no French Onion soup ☹️, etc.  But, at the end of the day, my legs and ankles are so swollen.  Is there a way to ask for lower sodium items?

Please someone tell me this is problem for others?

I had the same problem in Jan of this year on the Harmony. I drank bottled water, but did drink iced tea and lemonade made from the ship’s water. I was told the desalination process uses salt in the process. I asked my Dr about this and she confirmed that could very well be the reason why my ankles and feet blew up daily by around 5 pm. I’m not a large woman and don’t usually retain fluid like that. Hasn’t happens since we were off this ship. It will be interesting to see if it happens in Nov when we sail again.

I switched from RCL to Celebrity because of the number of kids on RCL and not enforcing no children in the Solarium.  They’re allowed in the other pools. Why can’t there be one area where they’re not allowed? 

I’ve subscribed but don’t get any Power Up emails. Do I need to do something else to received these?

In our school district,  if you take your child out for a non doctor approved/excused reason for more than 4.5 days in a row, they have to repeat the grade. This was made clear to all parents from day one. This was the policy when our kids were in school a few years back. Not sure it is still in effect, but it should be. 

As it should be!

I would. I like the perks.

This is disheartening to hear. I come over to Celebrity bc RCL has become a preschool and recess all year round now. People take their kids out of school at anytime of the year. Parents don’t follow the rules, so why would the kids. I’m a believer the Solarium should be ADULYS ONLY 24/7!!!! The kids have the entire ship. Leave one spot for those who enjoy Petch and quiet, without splashing, screaming and diapers in the pool.

Booked many cruises for the ship and not the ports. We’ve been to most of the Caribbean islands multiple times. There’s only so many islands and itineraries. I might like them to change some of the itineraries. Most of the time, I don’t even get off the ship.

With ships sailing to capacity or very close, are large quantities of people still getting a royal Ups? We went from a balcony to a Croswn Losft Suite but there were only 1980 passengers sailing  then. Wondering what the chances are for this January>

I have family on a cruise leaving today and how can I follow to see if their itinerary is being affected due to tropical storms in the island? They used to post them on their page but can’t seem to find anything.

We were on the HOTS in Jan. We booked an oceanview with a larger balcony 8 night cruise for $2600. Received our Royal Up big of $440/pp. we were fortunate to the the CLS for a total of $3700. Yes, it was a once on a lifetime price! Enjoy!

I love to stay on board and the only port we got off on the last 2 cruises was Coco Cay. We had been to Nassau, St. Thomas and St Martin so many times that I had no desire to go again. I love the ship when the masses are off. Enjoy it!

I’m the OP and I had not noticing many negative comments on here and on a RCL FB sites. I loved our Jan RCL cruise so much that we booked 3 more the week we arrived home. I’m sailing in a couple of weeks so I’ll be able to again form my own opinion of my experience. I’m hopi g that the neg comments from people are just from people who do like to complain and or have expectations of 5 star restaurants.  

There seems to be so many negative complaints about food, cleanliness and service coming for so many people on a variety of ships now. We’re sailing in a couple weeks and all the negative comments are concerning. We were on 2 cruises in Jan/Feb and the RCCL food, service and cleanliness were excellent. I’m sure the food has to do with the escalating costs of food. You can’t continue to buy quality cuts of meats and with inferior cuts, it’s hard to get the same results. The cleanliness will be an issue. If this is what cruising is turning into, unfortunately, it’s time for another hiatus for us. I’m hoping it’s just people who can’t be made happy that are doing the complaining.

No, those are limited to O and Q class ships.

Thank you.

Is there NOT a Coastal Kitchen or a Solarium Bistro on the Indy of the Seas?
