Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted December 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hey there - returning to Royal this Friday after a bit of an absence --- and I both don't recall and/or thought there might be some changes w/regard to: Can guests bring a bottle of wine onboard for consumption in the cabin, and any charge associated with that? What about bottled water or cans of soda/mixers? Can guests order a bottle of alcohol (I didn't see that option) for, again, in cabin consumption? In suites (a GS in this case), is there a kettle in the cabin (brewing tea), or can one be requested? Is the safety briefing now completed via an app (as I recently experienced on Carnival)? THANKS, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise1957 Posted December 2, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 2, 2021 We were in a Crown Loft Suite on Oasis and had both a Keurig type coffee maker and an electric kettle. I know it's very important if you drink tea. If you put water through a Keurig that has brewed coffee you get a coffee taste. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise1957 Posted December 2, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2021 You can bring 2 bottles of wine per cabin. No charge if you open it yourself, in your cabin, not sure about any other venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Idk about buying a bottle for consumption, but there will be drinks in the suite lounge at least in the evening. The 12 mixers you can carry on can be bottled or cans, I think up to 12 oz. U like carnival who only allows cans. Edited December 2, 2021 by firefly333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably enjoy the snacks and drinks for an hour or so on one or two evenings - not making any dinner plans, which is unusual for us. While I'll miss having a Coastal Kitchen onboard, I think what I'll miss even more is the Park Café roast beef sandwich !! I found one being offered (only 1 day) on the Enchantment, but it was a "cheap imitation"... LOL Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My allure next march 2022 got changed to liberty because the terminal is delayed a year. I feel your disappointment. Me too. I dont like any water except flavored sparkling water in bottles which rcl allows me to bring on but not carnival. I hate canned water. .. though I read rcl is changing to canned evian. Uggh. Many say at lower capacities the Mdr is better than before and finally the buffet opened for dinner. I'm on liberty dec 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS, Tom The passengers of each cabin are permitted to bring on two bottles of wine (750 ml). You must carry it on; do not put it in your checked bag. (or you may find yourself called down to the naughty room on Deck 1) The passengers of each cabin are permitted to carry on 12 containers of no more than 17 oz/half a liter each of non-alcoholic beverages. Again, you must carry it on yourself. You can order booze. There are very limited choices. Be aware that it is 375 ml and comes with 4 cans of soda. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/royalgifts/wine-liquor?cat=52 Yes to the kettle.

Looks like I'm a day late to that page - apparently one can't order for a departure the following day. No worries - three days will fly by, and we won't run up too high a tab, especially with the suite lounge being available. On our Mardi Gras sailing last week I had purchased the drink package for both of us - I'm not sure that there was even one day that it ended up being a savings!

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted December 2, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Can anyone verify if, in suites at least, there is a bottle of sparkling wine/champagne upon embarkation (for enjoying @ sail away)? Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ! Anyone? Of course now, due to a medical issue in Nassau yesterday, they are going to be LATE getting back to Pt Canaveral today. We're not scheduled to board until 3, and sail away is now slated for 8PM ! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - just heard back from the concierge onboard (that they don't offer that). Interestingly enough, the last two sailings on Carnival we took (excel suites) and past suites on NCL and Celebrity all had varying qualities of sparking wine in the cabin.

You can get a bottle once Diamond+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
