Anyone know if you get anything as far as future cruise credit or transfer to another sailing on a comped casino cruise?

Sure hope it's ready to go for April 6th. Offers for it being canceled won't do me any good since it's a comped casino cruise but I'll be out flights.

Yep this is 100% true. A few weeks ago my plane was actually delayed by quite a while because they had put too much fuel in the plane for the short trip and we'd be too heavy to land so we had to wait for a fuel truck to come and remove some of the fuel from the plane before we could leave.

Thank God. I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch Cheddar news or whatever the stupid channel is that they have on and plays the same 8 cat clips all week.

As long as you don't take a test, you don't have covid. Happy sailing!

100%. Few weeks ago, one bartender wouldn't make doubles and would only stick to the "rules". Another would make my gin and tonics about 90% gin.. Tried to order from him as much as possible!

We aren't big drinkers at home but on vacation we let loose and to your point, it adds up quick

I think my personal record on a cruise in a day is somewhere between 20-25 drinks. Never barfed once!

We've done Jamie's / giovanni's for lunch on embarkation day and we've done Playmakers a few times as well on first day for lunch

The $550 will likely keep us out of the casino more, so spend $500 to save likely around $5k in gambling losses? Might be worth it lol

Not too much. My wife does some wine but I'm not a fan. I usually stick to gin or tequila

You're forgetting boarding day as we're generally onboard by 11am. Easily 10 drinks each that day, Nassau somewhere around 15 each if I had to guess based on past cruises, and potentially more in Coco cay since the cups are smaller at the pool.

That's Royals newest ship that hasn't been released yet.. Tractor of the Land! Plowing a field near you in 2025. All speciality restaurants are corn infused specialities! Puts a real twist on "chair hogs"!

Sorry, I was wrong. $3799 lol

Just depends. I'm on icon is February of next year and cabanas are already loaded for our sailing. For a cool $3899 you can get the over the water lol

First time ever doing a short weekend cruise so our normal 7 day cruise brain is all out of sorts lol. Normally on a 7 day with prime and diamond I'm sick of alcohol by the end but with this short one and being on the ship or Coco cay the whole time, a whole different mind set.

Thoughts? My wife and I have been prime for quite a while now, and we're both diamond so we each get 4 drinks per person per day. The last handful of cruises, we've never even considered the drink package because using our diamond drinks during the day and popping in and out of the casino, and then being in the casino each night, we easily would have 10-15 drinks a day and never paid for a single one. We have a short 3 day coming up that stops at Nassau and Coco Cay. We'll stay on the ship all day in Nassau, but casino is closed. Coco cay, we'll be off the ship from 8am until likely 5. Yes we can use our Diamonds on Coco cay but could easily drink 4 Coco locos before 10am if we wanted lol. We're considering the drink package for this one since it works at Coco Cay and I feel like we won't be able to use prime drinks as often. Package comes to like $550 with gratuity for the two of us for the 3 days. Crazy to get it or no? Normally we can easily get tipsy on diamond and prime drinks but this cruise, the package seems like it makes more sense. The cruise is a free comped cruise for what it's worth.

We were onboard last week and it was open for bookings. Saw a handful of groups go up the stairs to it when we were in Izumi. Can't remember the price within the app though.

Yep I was able to get to mine as well. Took a screen shot to be safe.

Hasn't been resolved yet. I wonder how boarding went for anyone boarding the last few days without a set sail

Good ol Royal IT

You may have some success if the specialty is near another, but to others points, if it's hooked, it's generally not near any other restaurant so I wouldn't try. We've a few times ordered a shrimp cocktail from Chops in giovanni's on oasis ships since it's right across the way, but that's about as far as we've ever asked.

Our favorite bartender from last week in the casino is up on deck 12 lime and coconut this week. Beben. He'll treat you real good 😊

Getting off navigator today! Kivi Rogers was hilarious. A member of the cruise director staff last night said your sailing has 902 kids, so pack your patience or get full use of the drink package!

Thanks everyone. I definitely drink a lot of water (and alcohol lol). It's definitely more of an annoyance than anything. In the morning they're usually good but midday, right back at it until bed
