Royal Caribbean

Saw a pretty rough situation someone posted about a Royal Caribbean cruise. Their aunt and mom booked a Bahamas cruise for about $6k total. Right before the sailing, a hurricane had passed and the cruise got heavily modified. The Bahamas stop was removed and the ship stayed...

We’re supposed to cruise in two weeks but my son has a new medical issue and we can’t go. I did purchase Allianz travel insurance. Do I cancel with Royal Caribbean first to start the process and get port fees and taxes refunded? Then file the claim with Allianz after? When...

Haven’t sailed Royal in 5 years. Did Oasis for our honeymoon 13 years ago and loved it. This time… totally different vibe. Booked 5pm dining and somehow got switched to My Time. Guest services gave me 5:30 reservations each night just filling random tables. Not the end of the...

I’m looking at booking a suite on Harmony of the Seas and noticed the “we select your room” option is about $1500 cheaper. We would most likely want a Junior Suite anyway, so I’m wondering if there’s much risk in letting Royal Caribbean assign the room instead of picking one...

Planning a Royal Caribbean cruise and usually just leave the automatic gratuities in place. This time considering going to guest services and asking them to remove it so tips can be given directly in cash to the stateroom attendant, dining staff, and others. The main concern is...

Just a quick tip from a recent Liberty of the Seas cruise. At CocoCay, towels were already gone by around 10am. When leaving the ship, crew were offering pool towels but calling it a “towel exchange,” which made it a bit confusing and sounded like you needed to swap one instead...

Booked a Royal Caribbean cruise for May 2027 and one of the ports is Labadee. I know RC suspended stops there through 2024 and has now extended it through the end of 2026. We booked knowing it might get swapped out, but I was actually excited for Labadee since it would be new...

Just a heads up for anyone considering the 4x4 Jeep excursion. Within the first 10 minutes the AC died and the engine overheated. When we first started it, the dash was already lit up with warning lights. Check engine, ABS, low tire pressure, traction control. As a mechanic,...
