You won't lose your spot if you only pre-reserve.

It's up to your preference. Some people prefer to pre-pay as much as possible as it takes a cost out of the onboard account.

Yes, your second option is definitely better. Don't you want to consider Uber for that reason?

I'll be sailing in less than two weeks out of nyc. How is the weather and water temperature in Bermuda in May? Will it still be warm enough in the evening for shorts? Also for those of you that sailed from nyc is the weather usually warm on the first sea day? I know the weather is so temperamental but just trying to get an idea.

Family member is currently vacationing in Bermuda. Temperatures are rather cool this year. It only gets to mid 70s now. Normally, toward the end of May it should get warmer. Hopefully you can enjoy your shorts...:D

There is a sofa bed in that stateroom, and Royal is assuming two people can share the sofa bed.

Yes, agree with clarea. According to the deck plan this stateroom has a sofa bed.

What's the name of the car rental place right next to the cable car? I saw someone reference it in another thread. We had planned on renting from Motor Inn, but they require you to call them at pick-up and drop-off, which we can't do, since we won't have phone service.

 

Thank you!

I am only familiar with this place. Hope that's the one you are looking for. https://santorini-carhire.com/

Hi. I was wondering is the tips that are charged that you may prepay for a cruise. I think it's 11.50 pp per day? When in a suite does the butler get part of that for the cleaning of the room or is there a separate person that does the cleaning

This is what ncl.com is saying...

What about Gratuities?

Unlike most other ships in the cruise industry, there is no required or recommended tipping on our ships for service that is generally rendered to all Guests. While you should not feel obligated to offer a gratuity, all of our staff are encouraged to “go the extra mile,” so they are permitted to accept cash gratuities for exceptional or outstanding service if you care to offer them. Also, certain staff positions (e.g., concierge, butler, youth program staff and beverage service) provide service on an individual basis to only some guests and do not benefit from the overall service charge. We encourage those Guests to acknowledge good service from these staff members with appropriate gratuities. Additionally, there is an 18% gratuity and spa service charge added for all spa and salon services, as well as an 18% gratuity and beverage service charge added for all beverage purchases and an 18% gratuity and specialty service charge added to all specialty restaurant dining and entertainment based dining.

Hi everyone

 

I am going on the Magic in October. I booked this cruise about 1 month ago and tried to get FTTF and it said it was sold out. Does anyone know if they open it back up or offer more tickets as the cruise time gets closer?

People tend to cancel, so do not give up.

Does anyone know if any of the Internet Packages support Snapchat? Thanks!

This is taken from the Carnival's website: "All plans exclude video streaming (such as Netflix or Hulu) and Snapchat"

thanks for your reply...yikes 15 laps to a mile...do you know what deck the steam and saunas are located? Again, thanks

There are steam and saunas in each of the men's and women's change areas in the Lotus Spa and gym area

Is there a deck where we can walk/run the entire circumference of the ship? If so, what deck please? Also are there steam or saunas available? TIA:D

There is a deck designated as "jogging track" but it's rather a very curvy 15 laps to a mile track. Didn't enjoy it at all. It's all the way aft on Star deck 19.

As far as steam and saunas rooms my DH used them in 2012 free of charge and said it wasn't bad.

17th January 2016 from Singapore

it shows up as completely sold out.

My main questions are these.

 

Does it ever feel over crowded?

 

Does embarking and disembarking run smoothly?

 

Which staterooms\locations are the best on this ship and why?

 

Which restaurants are an extra fee?

 

Sorry I haven't cruised with RCI since March 1997. I am overdue.

Don't get overwhelmed by her size. Sailed on her once but undoubtedly will do it again in a heartbeat. it's no different than any other ship in terms of embarkation/disembarkation and crowdedness. All specialty restaurants (you have several to choose from) charge a fee. Shows are the best any other class of ships offers so far.

We had a mid-ship balcony and enjoyed it. Many people we spoke to were happy with their boardwalk balconies - nice views of ship activities.

Take a ferry to Anguilla for a beach gateway.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am sailing Celebrity in March out of Miami. Baltimore has only smaller ships because of height restrictions under a bridge and at this point only RCCL and Carnival go out of that port. Just wondering if any other ports give security line perks. Again, thanks for any info.

I know for the fact that ports of Miami, FLL and San Juan do offer priority boarding line perk.

I was thinking about Atlantis but i heard all the food and drink was over priced.

Agree, the food is overpriced. But beach is gorgeous.

Leaving tomorrow, Our Oasis of Sea port is Fallmouth. We are not planning on doing the water falls, but would like to go to a nice beach. Any recommendations?

Check out the Beaches section http://www.cruisecritic.com/ports/newport.cfm?ID=510

if you weren't satisfied with the RCCL agent's responses, try another one. Not all agents are created equal. Some will offer wealth of information.

For sure, the number of people wearing a tux has gone down. But you wear what you feel comfortable in. I've seen it all: tux, kilts, military uniform... you name it.;)

Saw plenty of masks during two separate Halloween cruises in 2012 & 2013. We were asked to remove mask in the casino and security chased us out of the nightclub:eek:

Yes, I've heard the same story from my sister.
