A: God isn't in my supermarket either, too many faiths on board to accommodate all, I get it.
Answered by janetconant on October 25, 2024
A: As much as we used the diamond club on our last Indy trip (Oct 2024), I saw no one going to the escape room. So was it a good swap? Sometimes we need a quiet spot no matter if you have a faith or not.

Answer QuestionA: deciding is personal. As for quality, it works great since Starlink is on every Royal Caribbean ship.
Answered by RoyalCruzer on June 28, 2024
A: All RCCL ships I’ve been on had relatively good wifi. Better than NCL ships I’ve been on.
Answered by Gravel6 on June 29, 2024
A: kinda depends if you want to spend a lot of money staring at your phone rather than enjoying your cruise, I wouldn't myself but that's a personal choice as I think it actually ruins the experience..older systems were always very slow, newer systems l... ike Starlink are a lot better but I personally don't think it's worth the money when you can get free Wifi in most ports or even McDonald's.See More

A: No all RC ship casinos allow smoking. There’s a non smoking section, but you’ll still smell smoke.
Answered by Bertfish on February 2, 2024
A: You want non smoking casinos? Celebrity’s casinos are non smoking, it’s wonderful…..but they don’t have the same sort of fun….we cruise both extensively…..thank goodness for us the casino isn’t important

Answer QuestionA: No irons allowed or provided. We hang our items we want ironed in the bathroom and steam them so the wrinkles fall out. Works for us
Answered by Bertfish on January 22, 2024
A: I took wrinkle spray and steam from the shower…. They will iron for you for a small fee…
Answered by Feliciaann on January 22, 2024
A: There are not irons in Royal Caribbean cabins, and they confiscate steamers at security. I’ve been lucky enough in Miami that my little travel steamer has always gotten through, but I’ve seen a table of ones they’ve taken. So luck of the draw I suppo... se 🤷🏼♀️ I think it’s just for safety reasons. The first time we didn’t know there wouldn’t be an iron, didn’t take a steamer, and ended up hanging our clothes in the bathroom, turning the shower on high heat, and closing the door. It was somewhat effective but made the bathroom soaking wet 🤣 Would recommend that if they take your steamer, but I would definitely try to get one through.See More

Q: Hello! Couple questions.. is 85.99 a good deal for the deluxe drink package.. is it a better deal to buy it on the ship? Second, where is a reasonable place to stay the night before we leave?
Thumbs Up

A: I can’t help with the second question but $85.99 is very high. We’ve never paid more than $62.99 pp/pd. I’ve paid as low as $48.99 but that was pre covid. You have to calculate how many drinks per 24 hours you’ll consume. If you buy it at this price... and they drop it later you can cancel and re order it. I don’t think $85.99 is good and I’d guess it will drop but I didn’t see how long till you cruise so it’s hard to know for sure.See More
Answered by Bertfish on January 10, 2024
A: That’s higher than I have paid on the 2 cruises I have taken on independence, but if you want it buy it. If the price drops you can always cancel and re-book. It will be higher on board
Answered by JT77 on January 12, 2024

Answered by kholmes6262 on January 10, 2024
A: Not a good deal at all! You need to check it daily for new prices!!! Some days they will have B1G1 50% off….
Answered by Feliciaann on January 13, 2024
A: No you don’t have to go you can eat elsewhere! And, yes, meals are free in the main dining room, and the buffet at the Windjammer.
Answered by clarkee62 on October 23, 2023
A: If you go to the FAQ page on Royals' website, it will give you lots of great info to know before your cruise. YouTubers to check: La Lido Loca, EECC, Don's Family Vacations, Emma Cruise, Life Well Cruised, Tips for Travelers, etc.

Answered by esrescuer on October 3, 2023

Answered by esrescuer on October 4, 2023
A: RCL limits the wine/champagne (750 ml bottles) to only 2 per cabin, not 1 bottle per persons of legal drinking age
Answered by cruisegal52 on October 3, 2023
A: If you are going on a cruise that leaves from a U.S. port and returns to a U.S. Port, then passports are NOT required. We’ve cruised many times with our kids and none of them have passports.
Answered by Elissa35 on October 8, 2023
A: You do not need a passport to cuise if you leave out of a U.S. port. my kids do not have them, and they cruise.
Answered by lena5 on October 6, 2023
A: Yes, they still need one. My 2 year old had to have one. If you are leaving any US port, a child has to have one.
Answered by will47 on October 6, 2023
A: A child does not HAVE TO have one. Birth Certificate is sufficient.
Answered by J60406 on October 6, 2023
A: No passports needed to the Caribbean at all for anyone. But if no passport you’ll need a Birth Certificate. Not a copy of it
Answered by Bertfish on October 3, 2023
A: No one HAS TO have one while cruising. Birth Certificate is sufficient.
Answered by J60406 on October 6, 2023
