This was my fear as well!! 🤪🤣 cheers!

oh I totally get that no one has experience I was just wondering if anyone else had thoughts/reservations about it as well

That is what I’m thinking - or just forego the aft as it will probably be $2,000 more by that stage 😂

Thinking about booking for 2026… aft balcony for 4 is about 7800 with gratuities.. but the more I think about it, I’m wondering if the noise for the splash away kiddie park in the aft on deck 7(I believe) will be loud. Anyone else have thoughts about this?

I wonder if by actual Black Friday/cyber Monday they will lower “sale” prices for cruises further out - here’s hoping!

Oasis - booked it several months ago. My family thinks I’m nuts 😂 how about you? What ship are you sailing

No prob! I have a cruise feb 2025 that says the same thing. I love planning so I am with you - I get excited to see the options and pricing!

from my experience, once you get closer to one year out from the cruise, is when the cruise planner options begin to pop up 🙂

thanks! I just purchased… it ended up being $225 for the 2 of them for a 4 nighter - I figure between virgin drinks, Johnny rocket shakes and even bottles of water it will be better off to just stay stress free and not have any surprises at the end of vaca!!

Taking our boys (15 and 13) on their first Royal cruise.. wondering if I should get them refreshment package? My husband and I already have the unlimited bev plan. I booked the zip line for my husband and boys for 53.99 each. Lowest I have seen it since I have been eyeing it. Nothing else good for any other further cruises out…utopias selections are very blah

Luckily I got it to work on my home computer..no luck on the iPhone

Is anyone else having an issue checking out? I can not click the check box so therefore I can not check out. Frustrating!

If you click on “explore itinerary” it will give you the times

I will def keep this information close to mind! Thanks

same!! i also have teens so Royal fits the bill to keep everyone happy

I have to visit family in Europe so I was thinking after visiting them hopping on a cruise somewhere would be a nice way to end the trip… and since the Fjords look questionable in the future I was thinking it would be good timing.

Thank you!! Maybe I should wait it out

Good question - I guess to sum it up I would say that I would put seeing the landscape, the waterfalls, all that the nature has to offer over seeing any specific towns.

this is amazingly helpful!! Thank you so much

This is amazingly helpful. Thank you so much!!!

Good morning! I was hoping to sail the fjords before 2026 bans go into place. I have also read that some of the best fjords will be closing prior to 2026. From what I’ve heard, Geiranger sounds amazing. It is not on the 2025 itineraries at all. I am looking at the June 29 and the Jul 20 sailings and the only difference is one goes to Alesund and the other Skjolden. Is one more impressive than the other? Also, if there is anyone out there that has good knowledge about this whole 2026 shut down of ports, I would appreciate your advice. This would be a “one and done” trip for us… I don’t mind doing it 5+ years from now, if it looks like ships will be catching up to what the government requires of them environmentally - and more Fjords such as Geiranger would be back on itineraries. Does anyone have any foresight into this? thank you all so much for your knowledge, experience and advice!

That has a great ring to it!!! Cheers!!

It turns out wonder would be about $200 more expensive than if I do Utopia B2B so not a lot but I put $400 down for both cruises 😕

Nope 😞 I booked it the day it came out!

Thanks for helping me so much think this through! I live rural so it’s hard for me to find a direct route to Tampa. I don’t have to drive as far for a flight to Orlando. the stops are Cozumel and costa Maya. I agree with you about Nassau - I look at that as staying on board probably. But if we get the drink package that will work to our benefit financially. Also 2 days at Coco Cay would be great and no extra expenses as well! I am getting way more weary as well about the travel between two ships. I don’t want to be stressed about making boarding call!
