Labadee is amazing compared to coco. Do not go to the vendor area on Labadee that is it. Coco is a Disney park. When I’m on the Caribbean I want to be in a Caribbean island, not Disney. We get off the ship around 2 o’clock when everyone else is getting back on the ship. We enjoy 3 hours all on Columbus cove with few people. Doesn’t even compare to Coco. I liked coco back before it turned to a Disney park.

Not worth it at all. Everyone in cabin has to pay for the key. You get one lunch in main dining room on first day. Yes the windjammer is a Buffet. I never step foot in buffet as it is chaos to me. If on an oasis class ship go to park cafe first day for lunch. Get salad and sandwiches and quiet. We always buy the unlimited dining package and we can go to Jamie’s or Giovanni‘s for lunch for lunch the first day. You still have to get reservations for shows. You just have a section for key guest. You still need to arrive fairly early. You can buy the Internet package for one person and share or buy multiple packages under one name and it’s cheaper. The key is really only good for solo cruisers. The extra time they give you on flow rider, or a zip lining, is a joke. It’s only offered 1-2 times for the week and a time you wouldn’t want to go. No oasis class ship has a tender port. Ok they take your carryons and put in your cabin, big deal you are eating at that time and cabins open at 1. Just not worth it at all.

I always take my own luggage and walk off. I live close to most ports in Florida. We sleep in and grab a bite at park cafe and just walk off anytime we want. Never much of a line at 9.

Yes. Not much to see. Like 10 min. Just goes to beach at resort and back.

I wish u could walk in as well in specialty but dining room is chaos with my time dining too. Either way on the big ships you pretty much have to reserve all dining.

Unfortunately that’s about what it is now. I still purchase for the 2 of us to have a quiet, less chaotic meal. We like to stay away from the dining room. We also end up at playmakers at the end of the night for a snack and dessert.

Should not be an issue. It’s generally when the water is at the hottest. July and Aug.

We definitely do not buy it for the food. We love the relaxed atmosphere all week. Zero chaos. Although we have had some great meals in specialty. We get on board and reserve all our dinners and for lunch we just walk in and enjoy late night desserts at playmakers.

Yes I have gotten the key and realized what a waste it was. I realized you can get internet cheaper by purchasing more under the same name. So I frequently buy 4 packages and sell. So it is a win win for everyone. I did it on 3 cruises this year. I will not go to windjammer at anytime and love the specialty dining. Is the food great, No but the relaxed atmosphere all week we love. The key gave me fruit in my room. Wow. They take my carryon to my room, who cares I was eating and rooms were open right after. Times for any of the activities was a joke, and sitting in the same seats that are for free was zero help. We still showed up early for seats together. Getting on early makes know difference either because we are diamond now. If I am with my son I do not need to purchase interest or dining we get it free now that he is an employee.

Try to help people save money. Especially new cruisers who spend all this money they don’t need. The key will never be something I would tell people to spend their money on.

I am diamond too. I can’t even drink my 4. Lol

That’s still a lot to drink without one sea day. I am on the cruise after you.

The refreshment package is $20 a day it includes everything the deluxe beverage package has except alcohol. The specialty coffee, soda, mock tails, smoothies, shakes, water and juice is included in both packages. So if you spend $70 a day on The deluxe beverage package you need to consume 4 to 5 alcohol drinks per day to break even. $50 a day in just alcohol. Of course if you’re diamond it would not make sense because you get 4 drinks a day. So I buy the $20 and get 4 free alcohol drinks a day.

U can get the refreshment package at $20 a day. It includes everything the DBP includes except alcohol. If you spend $70 on a alcohol package that means u must spent $50 on just alcohol drinks in a day. So u must drink around 4-5 alcohol drinks per day to call it even. All the other drinks don’t matter because it includes The soda, specialty coffees, smoothies, shakes, water, and juices in the $20 package. I never drink all that and 4-5 alcohol drinks too in a day. Now I am diamond so not even close to worth it. I buy the $20 one and get 4 free drinks a day from diamond

My son is a huge user of flow rider. Usually it’s one a time buy for new cruisers and realize they got screwed. If you are into spending hundreds extra On 1 lunch and 1 breakfast and seats you are at still 30 min before so be it.

Why would u get 3 internet for 2 people. U can use on multiple devices. U can’t walk in last min to a show even with key. The flowrider time is a joke. It’s 1 or 2 times during the week in a time nobody likes. I bought 4 internet packages in Aug on my Harmony cruise and sold 3 to other people on our roll call. By me buying multiple devises under only me it cost $80 each is all for the week. Even at $20 u r paying at least $40 a day. $280 for the week.

We get zoom and pay between $15-18. We only need 1 package. The reserved seats are right next to my free seats. I sleep in on last day and go to park cafe for breakfast and walk off whenever I want. We live in south Florida. Only take oasis class ships. I spend my money on UDP. 2 people cost over $350 on key when you can spend $150 more and get all your dining. Zoom is not even close to worth it. It’s not just a few dollars more than internet package. They charge everyone in cabin the high rate. The more packages you buy the cheaper it is under one person.

Yes it’s crazy. If u are traveling solo then it might be ok if you got it at $20 a day

No gratuity on internet lmao

That is the biggest joke ever. Crazy for everyone to have to spend $27 a day. You can buy one internet and share. Chops for first day is in dining room. Big deal they put your bag in room. U r eating anyways and rooms open up at 1. It is a great way for Royal to make money. Crazy 2 people in a cabin would spend $378 for a week on crap. Buy the UDP would be a lot better

Privacy for napping, napping naked, sex, watching TV, getting out of shower to get ready at the desk for dinner. Privacy for going on balcony in PJs or my bathing suit. Privacy for everything except just sitting with clothes on. No thanks

Never will do a boardwalk or Central Park again. Zero privacy, can’t do anything without closing drapes. Oasis class doesn’t have much space looking at the ocean. I go on a cruise to wake up each morning looking at a Port and looking at the ocean on sea days. The last thing I want is to be on a cruise looking at other balconies looking at me. Even if I don’t use my balcony much I can keep my drapes open and get a view.

I have been on 4 royal cruises this year. All oasis class and luggage tags all came on day 6. I actually haven’t remembered getting tag night before in a few years.

Non alcohol package goes for $30 but you can get it on sale around $23 a day. Includes all Specialty coffee, soda, juices, Virgin drinks and smoothies

I cruised 4 times this year. All oasis class and all beds were hard. I can handle it, I have them put a couple comforters on the bottom to help but with my husband it kills him. I live in Florida so it’s easy, I buy a mattress topper. I bought 3 this year. I get a king called the big one cool mattress topper from Kohl’s. They go for $130 which is crazy but I find on sale and got for $44. I put box in big duffel bag and just keep on ship when we leave. Our room attendant loves it. All of them say they will cut it and use for their bed when we leave. It’s the best money for the week. So easy at the end I just throw duffel bag in with my suitcase. I understand if I had to fly it would be an issue. I have two in boxes for a March and May trip for next year already. It is a must for my husband and for me not to hear him complain all week about his back.
