    Sleeping (re)arrangements- 2 rms

    Most RCCL rooms that sleep 4 expect that 2 of those people are sharing the couch that converts into a bed. Only rooms that sleep 5 have the pull down and the convertible couch or one of the family rooms that sleeps up to 6 has 2 pull down beds and a convertible couch. With the change in room...

    You can go to the dining room and request to be moved to traditional dining. You can also request to have the same server every night in MTD. There is also a phone number you can call to schedule show reservations on board. You can also try reserving them while you are waiting in the...

    Dining Issues- is this normal?

    I've had varying success, depending on the ship. For most Oasis and Quantum class ships, you can reserve times for the shows in advance. They just appear one day in your cruise planner. For most other ships, you can begin reserving shows once you are connected to the RCL wifi (although...

    Disney cruiser, first time Royal

    I'm booked on the Icon over July 4th week in 2024 and the cabanas start at $1899 for Chill Island, South Beach or Water Park. The beach club cabana is $3899 and the over the water cabana is $4299. I can say in general, the prices of these cabana is dependent on which ship you are on and time...

    Holy Prices Captain!

    I've noticed that since they lifted the vaccine requirements and loosened testing requirements, prices are definitely higher.

    Orange County National vs Lake Buena Vista GC

    hmm, my family has played at both. I got what I thought was a good deal at Orange County National until I realized it was for the par 3 course! Fortunately, they let us switch up our tee time for the Panther course. I prefer LBV - but I'm not a great golfer and enjoy the beverage cart that...

    Which resort with kids no parks?

    We stayed at AKL with our kids for a resort only trip. You can spend hours watching the animals between the 2 resorts. We also got a hidden Mickey scavenger hunt sheet from the front desk to keep the kids busy one afternoon. The pool was great and you have several really good restaurants right...

    Parking at resort for golf?

    You definitely want to book a tee time in advance! There is a link to the online booking tool on the main Disney webpage. Note that the Magnolia is currently closed for renovations, so depending when you are going, the other courses could be packed. I found that you definitely need to have...

    When is Your Next Royal Cruise?

    We had so much fun on the Mariner of the Seas in December 2019, that we booked the Christmas cruise again for this year. Two inside staterooms again to make the holiday surcharge pricing more palatable.

    GF parking for cabana use??

    We rented a cabana at the Contemporary and hosted a bunch of my husband's co-workers when we were there for a convention. We didn't have any issues with them using the cabana for the few that were not staying at that hotel with us. Everyone still talks about what a fun day that was, including...

    Resorts for 5, 2 adults 3 children maybe Disney Springs hotels?

    We stayed at the Hilton Buena Vista Palace in a room with 2 queen beds and a pullout couch. It also had 1 1/2 bathrooms. We didn’t use the park transportation because it was extra. We would definitely stay there again. Ive also stayed in the 5th sleeper at CBR. I think it would be tight...

    First RC Cruise Coming Up. Any Suggestions?

    On the Mariner I wouldn't pay extra for a dining package. We have gone to Izzumi for sushi, but you can sign up on board and only pay for what you order (package was too much food for us). I would suggest you try the free options before committing to a dining package. At Coco Cay, we have...

    Family of 5 accommodations choices & price on RCL vs DCL

    We have cruised on both and my family prefers RCL. My kids are now 15/11 and we book 2 balcony staterooms for the price we paid for 1 verandah room on DCL. We love two full bathrooms and the extra space. We get the rooms next to each other, but not connecting (costs more). Often the balcony...

    Golfing question

    My family has played all 4 Disney courses, as well as many other courses in the area. We have rented clubs and I think was $25 per person, which works out great when you don't want to deal with bringing your own. Kids rentals are included in the price of golfing and they do have a junior rate...

    Modify Reservation?

    If you have the Change button next to your reservation, you can attempt to modify it online. There is a change button that allows you to update your dates of travel and it gives you options for which resorts are available for your new dates. I've noticed that these options are different than...

    room only pay in full, how far in advance

    The balance is due at checkin, but if you cancel within 5 days you lose the one night deposit paid. I recently needed to decrease my stay, and it was allowed because I kept one night and I got a small refund because the one night was less than the deposit I had paid.

    ?switch resorts after final cancellation period

    I had a room only reservation and was able to change it within the 5 day cancellation period. I did have to call because in my situation I wanted to shrink the number of nights because I got a last minute match on my DVC request. It was explained that I had to keep at least one night to avoid...
