    Has anyone here taken a Royal Caribbean Baltic cruise?

    I enjoyed it, but it was definitely different. I had no problems at all with the service, I thought that was fantastic. The food was hit or miss, but I could always find something to eat. The pizza is the best I have ever had on a cruise ship so that is always something. All that being...

    Has anyone here taken a Royal Caribbean Baltic cruise?

    I have not sailed on Royal for that region, but on MSC and those ports are amazing! If you can go, do it! If you are looking at the Voyager of the Seas, that is a great ship and you will have a fantastic time, plenty to do on board when you are not in port.

    The one with the Fidelius Charm...hopefully...a Sept 2021 pre-trip report

    I will be there for my son's 19th Birthday as well September 23-26 (his birthday is the 24th). Right now we are staying at Aventura, but I will be keeping an eye out for a Premier hotel opening! It will be all of our first time to HHN so probably going to splurge for a VIP tour for his...

    ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

    Agree with Carole. I have made the walk, and it is not terrible, but I only did it once! I have Uber'd ever since, especially when I have luggage. If I am just checking in for the express and not actually staying there, I might still walk it. I LOVE Strong Water and I am so happy it will be...

    Oops I booked one again...

    My son's birthday is on the 24th and he really wants to do HHN for the 1st time (he's turning 19) so I tried to book a premier hotel for September 23-27 and I got nothing. The only things showing as available were the hospitality suites at $600/night. I ended up reserving Aventura just to have...

    Med Cruise.. PLEASE HELP!

    I have done the Med twice on Royal, once on one of the most boring ships in the fleet (Rhapsody) and once on a more updated ship (Freedom). Both trips were absolutely amazing. My boys were both teens at the time and they had a blast on both. The Odyssey is Royal's newest ship, there will be...

    Tipping Assistance, please

    Good Morning Buckeye, Tips are automatically charged to your room and they are considered suites, so the gratuity is higher than a normal room ($17.50/pp per day), and that does include the Concierge. We do tip individuals that offer additional "over and above" service separately in addition...

    Uber/Lyft for early morning flight

    I had the same experience in Orlando in April. I scheduled it the night before and it worked out fine, they confirmed that night and texted me 30 minutes before to make sure I still wanted the ride.

    Hilton Double Tree at Entrance to UO Questions..

    I just stayed there in April. 15-20 Minute walk, the pedestrian bridge makes it easy to cross the street, but it was closed in the morning when we went for early admission. It was open by the afternoon. Also, the security check is way easier than parking at Universal and coming through that...

    Mid-July Cruising?

    While I do have other reservations, they are all already paid in full using previous Future Cruise Credits. I am not too worried about it, I booked the air through Royal using their $149 promo and the cruise was a casino comp so I only had to pay taxes & port fees which are not transferrable...

    Mid-July Cruising?

    No...not good news for me. I was booked on the July 3 sailing on Vision. Fortunately, I used Royal Caribbean for my air as well so everything is being fully refunded. Still a bummer though! Now if only I could figure out what to do with those vacation days!!! :-)

    MAYBE A MAY TRIP?? 3 WEEKS SAPPHIRE FALLS 2021

    Carole!!! 😂😂 Thinking of you and Tom today as I am sitting at Jakes enjoying a quiet cocktail while I wait for my room. I can’t believe how long it has been since you two have been able to be here. Know I’m having a drink in your honor!

    Bye Bye Alaska 2021

    I was on the Quantum in July so my cruise had been cancelled already. Hopefully they will let you Lift & Shift, I was able to even though it was outside the expiration dates for the program. Still...super sad for everyone involved.

    Can you use gift cards at RPR and in the parks?

    You can use Universal gift cards at all of those places. If you ever have any problems, you can also just charge it back to the room and pay off the room charges with the gift cards.

    Any word on Royal extending lift and shift?

    Yep, as long as Royal cancels it, you will be able to lift & shift it to next year...Unless they change the rules again before then! :-)

    Mask question - Discovery cove

    We were there in September and gaiters were allowed. We did not come across any areas that we had to go through water to get to and still needed our mask, but in September many of the encounters were not available so maybe that is the reason.

    Any word on Royal extending lift and shift?

    This is exactly the case. My cruise was cancelled by Royal, I was able to Lift and Shift to the same week next year even though it passed the April 2022 deadline. However, they no longer allow a 4 week window, I had to pick the same week or one week on either side. Lost one port and a cool...

    RCCL cancels most cruises until April 30, 2021

    That brings my total number of cancelled cruises to 13. My next booking is May from Barcelona. I expect that one to be cancelled as well. I am keeping my fingers crossed for my late June cruise, but it is an Alaska cruise so I'll need some help from Canada if it is to sail.
