Yes, it's literally across the street from where the ship is docked! It's $20 per day, but worth the extra money for the convenience and safety.

Check out an app called Hopper. I used it to book mine and haven't seen a lower price since. You plug in your dates and it will "watch" the flights for you, then tell you the best time to purchase. I've used it twice now and got the lowest both times.

I'm going in November and recently booked the "Beach Lounger for Two" for me and my daughter. I DID pay for 2 people, but only booked 1 lounger, so should I call RCI and have them change it? When I booked online, it seemed like the occupancy was for 2 people, but each had to pay.

If I plan on using my OBC towards a drink package, do I need to purchase it on the ship or can I take advantage of these discounted rates and purchase now?

Could I please get a copy? wfardanesh@yahoo.com THANKS!

Not anything that one would need to pay, so your thinking is absolute correct.

 

All in all the onboard account needs to have some other funds (cash or credit card) to make the charging possible before the OBC is applied.

 

I only mentioned that because some people have mentioned here planning that they wouldn't have or use a card and would like to avoid setting up the cash account too by only pre-purchasing OBC - and in that case they would not be able to use their onboard account at all before OBC is actually applied to the account.

Is there a certain "cash" amount that needs to be put down on the account first? I've been trying to avoid using the credit cards at all and would like to use cash only, but if it's easier to use the credit card, I guess I could justify it. How much of a "hold" do they put on an ATM card or credit card?

A lot of people like to pay for onboard expenses in advance with these.

 

Just remember that they are not credited to your onboard account immediately when you board but it can be second or even third day (first or second full day) of the cruise when they are visible on the onboard account, so you can't rely on those credits alone.

Would there be anything to pay for upfront before the credit was applied to the onboard account? It's been a while since I cruised, but I thought everything was paid at the end (besides the actual cruise tickets). I'm thinking about purchasing some gift certificates for myself in advance to soften the blow on that final day.
