Could they deny your boarding when checking in?  We have a friend that might be ready to cruise again by then.  She recently lost her husband and is an emotional wreck so she may not be ready to cruise.

So what happens when only 2 people show up on embarkation day?  Has anyone have this happen to them?

Awesome!  Thats what I was missing!  Thanks for the quick reply!

I believe we get a bottle of wine and other things but I can not find out how to select which type of wine etc.  I remember doing it long ago to select water on embarcation day but have no clue now.  TIA

We enjoyed the DL on Adventure.  Great views and as others have mentioned easy access to the Crown lounge. 

We had Rm 7676 on a past Jewel cruise.  It's a long walk to the elevators and stairs, but worth it.  The room you are looking at has a very large balcony.  Larger than the one we had aft.  Friends of ours had a room near what you are looking ay and enjoyed it very much.

Way to much to interest me.  Another money grabbing gimmick.  I'll spend my money elsewhere. Not necessarily on Royal either. 

Has anyone tried this excursion in Cozumel?  Just looking for a little sight seeing and some shopping opportunities away from the cruise port.  I need to buy some Mexican Vanilla and some trinkets.  I've read about people getting scammed buying Vanilla at the port shops.  Also wondering how the jump off jump on works.  Do they pick you up where they drop you and is there a long wait to get back on.  Thanks in advance!

We had 1812 for a 14 day repositioning and loved it.  Have it booked again in April 2024. Plenty of room with a full couch and spectacular view out the floor to ceiling windows.

We had room 1812 on Adventure of the Seas and loved it.  Booked same cabin for 2024.

Aside comments:

 

Shower head has sprung a leak.

 

DS loves finding ducks so if you participate in this know you’re bringing joy to little kids. 
 

I miss the champagne bar, bionic is a nice novelty but champagne was better.

The picture of the Promenade has me waking down the middle!  Tan shorts, blue shirt with the Penn State hat.  First time I've seen myself in someones post!

Cruised in March on Enchantment and nothing was mentioned.

I tend to agree.  Miami is far from stress free for us.  Besides the high cost of staying overnight close to the port.  We prefer to cruise from PC.  Overnight stays are cheaper in the area and food establishments that won't break the bank are plentiful.  

Doesn't matter if your number has 10:00 which I've never seen.  like others have stated you will be ushered off the ship when the last passengers leave.

Probably my fault. I'm taking 4 very hungry high school grads on the June 9th sailing. They already said they plan to "destroy some tacos" while onboard.. Royal is probably going to need to renovate El Loco Fresh after those boys are done with it 🙂

 

 

Oh boy...I have two grandsons, one's GF and another friend that will be with us on that cruise also!  They plan on doing the same thing!  Mom and Dad will be with us also and have been known to hit the Taco's also.  Looks like Royal better stock up big time for this cruise!  Have a great cruise!   

We've been to CoCo Cay a bunch of times. Both when we were the only ship and recently two ships.  My advice would be if you're looking to get a lounger by the pool....get there as early as you can.  Front rows not guaranteed however.  Beach chairs are fairly abundant.  Two ships a day is becoming the standard since Royal has advertised a Great Day at CoCo Cay. Seems like every cruise this summer visits the island.  It's a great time and a not to miss adventure.  Out by South Beach they have awesome chicken sandwiches, mozzarella sticks and funnel cakes.  No charge!  Have fun and created great memories.

You can tell them to not charge your freebies and charge to your Sea Pass card.  We just did this on Adventure in October and Enchantment this March.  No issues whatsoever.  Enjoy your cruise!

Hello, deck 7 aft you can hear the band playing in the safari club. I would book it again if a higher floor wasn’t available.

We were in 7676 and never heard the safari club bands.

I have never booked an Aft Balcony....so should I give it a try?  Anyone else's have thoughts?

Is aft or forward better?  Any noise? On the Jewel that is...

 

Thank you everyone!

 

 

 

We had room 7676 aft on Jewel back in Dec 2021and liked it.  The large balcony was great with two lounge chairs.  Great views galore.

Thanks! Do these comedy shows need a reservation?

When we sailed Anthem last year we saw two comedians that were hilarious and they performed in the main theater.  No reservations.

We no longer cruise with others (since 2010). No mare drama. 

We also enjoy the stress free sailing alone time.  But, we have 10 of us going in June which will be like herding cats!  One good thing is we will be on Oasis of the Seas.  plenty of placed to get lost!

Sorry to hear about your friends unfortunate situation.  Hope Room #1 has a speedy recovery.  Some time ago my son booked a RCI cruise and was not able to take it for some reason I can't remember and he transferred it to us.  I'm not sure if that would work in room 's #1 & 2 with such short notice. Both for the cruise transfer and finding someone they really like with such short notice.  I for one would hate to have to eat the cruise cost and have no one be able to take advantage of it.  Just a thought however and all the stars would have to line up for such a short notice.   

Have a great trip!  We've sailed Enchantment 3 times in the past.  (2) 4 day sails and a 12 day repositioning that were all great times.  We have been on every class ship Royal has and like them all. Granted the entertainment on Enchantment can't match that of the Oasis class ships but...you're on vacation with no worries.  Just relax and enjoy.  The crew on Enchantment were some of the best we have encountered in over 20 cruises. 🙂

OK  Thanks.  I think Ill try this on our March cruise and see how it works out for us.  We will be 1 night shy of D+ after this cruise and the 5 freebee drinks will certainly be nice.

So, if you are someone that likes to have a few drinks while on a cruise but can't see breaking even because of the cost of the beverage package why not buy some OBC. If $1200 is too much, do some math and if it looks like $800 might be close to what you would spend just put the $800 into OBC. If you have a few more drinks over that then you are still under $1200.  Also, that OBC could cover your daily gratuities.  Just something to think about.

I like the idea of putting some $$ into OBC.  If you don't drink up your $$ in OBC how does RCI reimburse you?
