How do people do formula bottles on cruises? Do we trust the water? Bring it all from home? Bring a kettle to boil it?

Traveling with my gf. Will we be paired with a small group in the mdr? I’ve only been on a Disney cruise so I wasn’t sure

I am currently 20 days away from Icon, 48 day away from Allure, and 293 days away from Icon!

My partner and I take cruises at least once a year. My MIL has traveled with us and it’s been awesome. This year we are taking my son + MIL + SILs (3) and their spouses on a cruise. What was your experiences with this? Did you have fun what were the biggest annoyances? Anything you absolutely have to do or avoid ? Thanks in advance!

P.s not trying to find things to hate just will be my first time traveling with them period / a group of this size in like 23 years.

Going on allure in November for 7 nights looking to heat about any experiences or things to look forward to in general as this in my first royal Caribbean cruise coming from carnival.

I am going on a cruise from Miami Port after spending a few nights in Miami, really excited. I have done 15 UK sailings but never a US one! I wanted to know what to do when we disembark. What’s the protocol?

we don’t fly home untill 7pm that night from MIA and I am a bad flyer tbh so don’t want to be roaming around with luggage or sat at the airport.

I’ve seen you can rent hotels for the day, but something mentioned an airport luggage service or would you just take your own luggage off, get a uber to the airport hotel chill there and board?

What do you think? thanks x

We just got off of our first Royal Caribbean ship last weekend. We had a great time on the Serenade of the Seas going to Alaska. On our cruise we saw several ads for the Icon of the Seas and similar ships. We have done several cruises before this but on other lines to different destinations. We definitely want to do one of the ships for our next cruise that has a ton of on board waterpark fun and things of the such to really enjoy the ship. What are some thoughts for anyone who has been on Icon of the seas or any similar ships like it?? Thanks for the input!

for people on it at the moment can you post what days are what dress for the main dining room?

sailing in 2 weeks, have some travel before so packing now and want too know both for what too pack and when to schedule other stuff on non-formal days

Hi everyone,

We are doing the 12 night fjord, tundra, and national parks starting in fairbanks. We are flying out July 25th to have an extra day and avoid travel issues, land portion starts on July 26th. It is a 6 day pretour.

Anyone ever do this and is there time during any of the land stops to do laundry? We were going to do laundry first day on the ship but I am a bit nervous as it says everything is washed hot water and high heat. I really dont want all our stuff to shrink. To pack lighter was hoping to wash tee shirts, shorts, my wife's clothes, kids clothes, etc and basically use it to reset.

It is hard to tell how much time we will have in the last few stops, i.e. anchorage, maybe to find a dropoff laundromat service near our hotel

I have seen mixed reviews for the Windjammer cheeseburgers. People say they have a weird texture, but in my (humbly correct) opinion, they are just super juicy.

What is the consensus of the sub?

Hi everyone!

I have a question for people who have worked for Royal Caribbean or Starboard.

I'm currently waiting for my first embarkation date. However, I have already received a great job offer in the hospitality industry.

If I decide to decline my first embarkation because I accepted this opportunity, would Royal Caribbean or Starboard blacklist me or make it difficult to work with them in the future?

I'm not trying to waste anyone's time—I just want to make the best long-term decision for my career. I'd really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences.

Has anyone declined their first assignment and later been offered another one?

Thank you!
