A: Ocean view every time. Boardwalk can be noisy.
Answered by Suncoast249 on November 26, 2023
A: Boardwalk if you enjoy people watching otherwise ocean view. If you choose boardwalk you need to keep your drapes closed or people can see into your room as well.
Answered by updegrove83 on November 27, 2023
A: Definitely ocean view, we’ve done both. The upside to boardwalk is ppl watching and seeing the aqua show. But you do have to be careful of peepers if the curtains are open.
Answered by DaleNTroy on November 29, 2023
A: Definitely ocean view… I love to sit outside and watch the sunset and sunrise. Taking a nap on the balcony is epic with the waves hitting the ship…

Q: Will be cruising on 11/26. I made specialty dinning reservations and entertainment reservations thru the app. The reservation’s showed on my daily planner. Now the entertainment reservations have disappeared. RC says that they show no reservations for me. Shows are now sold out. Has this happened to anyone?

A: Should have gotten email confirmations showing no charges. If worse comes to worst, hopefully Guest Services can provide some help. Depending on your tier, Crown Club rep may be able to help as well. Just sailed on her and the only shows with seating... difficulties were 365 Seasons on Ice and Comedy. Intense was canceled once. Good luck and have fun! You'll probably be happy you're going the week after Thanksgiving.See More
Answered by justlovincruisin on November 2, 2023
A: I’m sailing on 11/12 on Wonder and we tried to book entertainment from app about 2 weeks ago many shows were sold out already. Not sure how they could do that, when I sailed on Harmony last year we couldn’t book anything till ON THE SHIP.
Answered by stjoes1mom on November 2, 2023
A: Nope. Book early and often with everything. Almost have to go to the app daily to make sure you don’t miss something.

Answer QuestionA: You can see your muster station on the RC app. Tap the person figure at the top and it will tell you your cruise, stateroom number and muster location.
Answered by MurielRobin on October 25, 2023
A: It will be listed on your seapass card on the back of your stateroom door, and once you check in, I believe it on your sign and sail pass also. Enjoy.

Q: Can anyone tell me from your experience what time you got off the ship for the last day? I am debating if 11:15 flight out of MCO gives me enough time. thanks

A: The airport itself is at least 45 minutes from the port. It’s also big and spread out, requiring trams to get to the “gate pods” and full of kids wearing Mickey ears and princess dresses. Unless you have Clear AND TSA Precheck, you’re looking at an... hour to get through security on a Sunday morning. Good luck with anything before 1:00pm.See More

Q: I am a man traveling as a companion to another man who is blind. I have stressed the need to have 2 beds in our interior room (They assigned us Room 7435). Everyone says they can separate the bed if we find it’s a double. How can I be sure? I don’t want to sleep on the floor.

A: If the bed is together when you arrive no worries. Just ask your room attendant to separate. I’ve traveled with friends plenty of times of times where the information didn’t get relayed before boarding. They will take care of it. Bon Voyage!
Answered by luvcruising18 on October 28, 2023
A: The bed can be together or apart. if you booked with a travel agent, have them note it. otherwise once you board and meet your room attendant ask them to separate the bed for use and they will do it right away.
Answered by mcastell on September 11, 2023
A: You can request separate beds by calling Royal Caribbean. If it’s still together when you get to your room you will prob see your Cabin Steward in the hallway or you can call them by calling housekeeping from your room phone. Most likely your actual... Cabin Steward will answer. Have a fun cruise!See More
Answered by Gsready2cruise on September 11, 2023
A: wonder if the seas does not have any infinite balcony rooms. Icon of the seas will be the first Royal Caribbean ship with these types of rooms. Their sister company Celebrity has infinite balcony rooms on the Edge class ships.
Answered by mcastell on September 10, 2023
A: I think it dies not have that style balcony based on the age if the ship.
Answered by mark668 on September 10, 2023

A: Sofa will be near the balcony according to the deck plan.
Answered by Mellowjourney on September 2, 2023
A: Well, I talked myself into calling- the bed is by the balcony for anyone else who may be wondering 😆

Q: I am wondering if cabin 14282 has the bed near the balcony or if the sofa is near the balcony? Has anyone stayed in that cabin?

A: The bed by the balcony is the best! You can just pull open the curtains in the morning from bed and see the new port you’ve arrived at overnight. One of THE BEST parts of cruising!
Answered by CruisingDuck on August 26, 2023
A: According to the deck plan, the bed should be by the balcony. When looking at two connecting cabins, the one on the right has the bed near the balcony. The one on the left has the bed near the bathroom. If in non-conecting cabins, you find the neares... t connecting cabins and follow the pattern down the line.See More

Answered by dkne on August 15, 2023
A: it will be one night on your calendar. I don't believe there are reservations. it's first come first serve. same with the quest.
Answered by dkne on August 16, 2023
A: I'm going soon too and didn't see the love and marriage on the reservation page. Is that something that comes up on the compass?
Answered by chilaxin4life on August 16, 2023
A: Final payment is typically 90 days before sail date
Answered by shejones75 on August 2, 2023
A: If you booked directly with Royal Caribbean, you can log in and select "Manage My Cruise" and "Make a Payment" to find the exact date. If you booked through a travel agent, they will keep track for you.

Q: Any food offered at the English Pub and Playmakers Sports Bar? If so, is it included or additional?
Thumbs Up
0
A: Playmakers has a sports bar menu for a small additional cost. Sometimes people don’t even look at it since it is additional but unlike Johnny Rockets that is a per person cost you can order apps and stuff for like $5 bucks and wings were like $8 so I... would recommend trying it atleast once.See More
Answered by CruizIan on July 18, 2023
A: Playmaker is great food extra charge but worth it we share burger and onion tower for lunch on first day
Answered by CruiseladyGail on July 21, 2023
A: Playmakers offer food for an additional cost, and I'm not sure about the English Pub.
Answered by wooti05 on July 18, 2023
A: I highly recommend Cortrans. Smaller shuttles with scheduled departure times.
Answered by jacmac on July 5, 2023
A: $100 give or take depending on date, time, and how busy they are. We usually stay in Orlando and use GoPort for transport. GoPort also has hotel/cruise transfer packages available.
Answered by Mellowjourney on July 2, 2023
A: imo, expensive. hotels are higher in PC. Hotels in MCO are more reasonable and you can book with Cortrans shuttle or Cruise Control.
Answered by Lamayne66 on July 3, 2023
A: Yes. I noticed that it opened up for me the day after check in. Keep an eye out.
Answered by ReneePD on May 4, 2023
A: I suggest doing this as soon as it's available. When we went, they were checking for reservations and letting them in first. Then non-reserved folks were let in afterward, depending on availability.

Q: Id love yo upgrade to Ocean view balcony from Central Park balcony? Anyone have a tip on how to do this?
Thumbs Up
0
A: Best is to call RCCL or if you booked through a travel agent, contact them.
Answered by TheMasters on April 20, 2023
A: We booked a “window “ on 9 facing Central Park and have been trying to get a balcony BUT the ones that they’re offering- you pay for a balcony and NEVER find out where your room will be till 1 week before the sailing. I don’t want to not know where I... ’m going to be. The cost was also about $2000. more for 2 people. Will be happy where I am instead of being in limbo.See More
Answered by stjoes1mom on April 21, 2023
A: You should be able to submit a Royalup bid, while logged into your account.
Answered by ThingsandStuff on April 20, 2023
A: Reach out to RC directly for a upgrade..
Answered by nurselulu on April 19, 2023
A: We have a balcony on broadway and we’re looking for a Central Park window go figure.
Answered by cscharal on April 22, 2023
A: Royal Up is not a guarantee, so if you really want a balcony, call Royal Caribbean and pay for the upgrade now (or call your travel agent if used).

Q: We are sailing on wonder of the seas, September 2023. In doing some research, I noticed that the mason jar is open late night, but not taking reservations for that time. I’m curious if it’s complimentary during those hours? Has anyone tried this?

A: P.S. I did post some pics from prior sailing of Mason Jar menu items.
Answered by justlovincruisin on April 13, 2023
A: There is nothing complimentary in the specialty restaurants aside from the music
Answered by cscharal on November 6, 2023
A: I don't believe Mason Jar is complimentary at all.
Answered by smeeks926 on April 13, 2023
A: The Mason Jar also has a great bar and live music. That's likely why it's open late. Nothing in the Specialty Restaurants is free.
Answered by CasiBK on June 8, 2023
A: A lot of the places don’t jet you make reservations till you’re ON BOARD the ship.

Q: I see others talking about getting the KEY. What is the KEY, how do you get it and how much does it cost?
Thumbs Up

A: It sounds better than it actually is. Cost depends on sailing and can be purchased in the Cruise Planner online. On my next cruise it runs $29 per person, per day which can really add up. Check out Matt's review at Royal Caribbean Blog, also on his Y... ouTube channel. I don't think it's worth the cost.See More
Answered by Mellowjourney on April 5, 2023
A: We got The Key twice. The 1st time was because the price was just a few dollars more than internet access at $22/pp (internet alone was $20). The 2nd time, because we enjoyed the perks the first time around, we thought we would get it again. By then... it was $24/pp. The second time we were VERY disappointed and will never get it again. Even the Chops brunch was terrible (items came out cold and service was super slow) and the costs definitely outweighed the benefits.See More

A: I did the brunch at the Mason jar on embarkation day. It was ok nothing over the top great but very different from other restaurants on RC.
