We prepay our gratuities when we book so if your reservations are linked there is a good chance this could be done over the phone now…

As a parent of two educators (one is a principal) and a grandparent of two young ladies I can only go by how they handle their students and children. I can only say my granddaughters would have NEVER been allowed to act like that under any circumstances. They are many different ways of guiding and helping our young people to adapt from the previous two horrible years other than letting them conduct themselves inappropriately. It is our job to always guide them and help them find those ways…

Sailing the Mardi Gras will be a different experience for sure. We tried it once and it was not for us…. But since you are young….if you enjoy the mega party experience you will enjoy the Mardi Gras. It is a beautiful ship….

I am totally surprised at some adults actually condoning and excusing this behavior! Yes kids will be kids and yes they do need to blow off steam but that needs to be done with appropriate activities such as swimming, rock climbing, flow rider, teen club activities etc. not running wild and taking over public spaces that are sometimes used by older fragile passengers. Our children really need to learn to have respect and compassion for others!!!

We also go through www.insuremytrip.com

GoPort is one of the popular site on these boards. I have not used them myself, but I also have not seen any negative posts about them either.

Awesome thank you!!! We sail next month out of Terminal 1 and prefer to park at the port. Before they moved the Mariner it was a challenge!

Is it now easier to find a parking spot inside the parking deck at Terminal 1??? Or are they still having to use the overflow lot?? I would love to hear about some recent experiences……

If you are coming in late it may pose a challenge to get a ride to Cocoa Beach which is 45+ minutes away from the airport. I have seen Cocoa Beach Shuttle making some late evening runs, but I would check with the others listed above as well. Otherwise Uber or a one way car rental may be your only choice….

We have AT&T for our phone service. We buy the Surf & Stream Voom pkg. once onboard we put our phones in Airplane Mode (very important!), and turn on WiFi calling. We can then use our phones just as we would at home for texts and phone calls….

Yes

You will be less than a mile to the port….😁. We are staying there next month. It is a nice hotel and they have a shuttle service for a small fee. Once you get off the ship are you going directly back to the airport? If so you might want to pre-book a shuttle. Some popular suggestions are: *Cortrans Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *GoPort

Have never seen them in the pool at Coco Cay…

Just had three FCC’s belonging to my daughter and her family and had $750 applied to my open booking. My daughter had to call and initiate the transfer to me. You will need the original reservation number where the credits came from, the name on the FCC, their Crown & Anchor number if they have one and then the name you want to transfer it to and their C&A number. if you have a travel agent they should be able to help you…

very interesting….

But they are flying internationally back to Canada…..big difference in how early they need to arrive

We have used these 5 times now……So easy and convenient!!

right now seems to be Jan/Feb 2023…..and later

No way are you going to find a cheaper price for a deluxe pkg onboard! Prices onboard for anything are always higher…

Just transferred three FCC’s in my daughter and granddaughters name to me. It was nice to have that extra $750 applied to my cruise since I had paid for their original cruise….😁😁

They are not allowing this since covid

I disagree. We always pre-pay our tips and then give extra to those who go above and beyond. The room steward leaving some envelopes in the room saves me from having to go to Guest Services to pick some up. I see it as a convenience and for that I am grateful….

Sadly Royal IT is the worst! You will probably just have to keep checking your app until it finally kicks in. Today I did the online check in for our July 17th cruise and of cruise we couldn’t select a check in time either!!😡😡

I hope most are not trying to arrive the day of!!! 😳😳

Many, many people on these boards have successfully used Walgreens without a problem….
