Podcast Cruise 6.0!!! Official Info

[mdvlprof]

RCI does not want guests to bring hard alcohol on board because that may permit under age drinking and they cannot allow that. They do allow guests to being in their own wine, water and soda bottles, but they are subject to inspection - especially if you bring it in your carry on luggage. The past few times I have sailed on RCI, we have had NO problems bringing wine and sodas on board.

Here is the official policy:

Hmmm.

'A:
Guests are not allowed to bring beer, hard liquor, fortified wines or non-alcoholic beverages onboard for consumption or any other use on boarding day or while in port. Alcoholic beverages seized on boarding day will not be returned.'

???

 

[drclaws]

True. They wanted to take and hold a bottle of cooking sherry we purchased in Bermuda when we reboarded. Took some explaining of what it was and no one would drink it as is.

I like that there are a lot of us on Deck 12.
I'm so excited, I hate that I have to wait so long.

How do you know where your cabins are? Mine just says guarantee.

I am in the same boat with the Gty. That was the only thing left in the catagory when we reserved. From what I understand after we get it paid off and it gets closer to the sailing date RCL will assign us a cabin. It must be at least that catagory or higher. We dont get a say on the location though.

Thank you. I know about guarantee cabins from reading about them on the boards, but haven't cruised very often and usually book well in advance, so I haven't booked GTY. I hope I'm somewhere near my friends. Can we upgrade?

Hmmmmm, seeing that picture makes me wonder how many children will be on this cruise ..?
Since it's not a "Disney" cruise, I would think the child count would be a lot less

 

[OKW Lover]

I think you're right Marilee. Between this being an Alaska Cruise and the fact that many schools are still in session should keep the child count on the lower side.

Wrong thread, Jeff. This is for Podcast Cruise 6.0. Last I checked, not Alaska! (Alaska in December?? BRRRRRR!!!!)

Sayhello

Sayhello

ooops!!! In my defense, they are both on RCL.

As far as early December in the Caribbean goes, I'd still say not many children on board. Pretty much all of the grade schools will be in session when we sail and this time of year isn't really a big cruise season.

 

[mdvlprof]

Used to take kids cruising during 'school days' [they are college-age now].

Almost NO kids. # of kids in kids club could be counted on one hand

I wouldn't bet on that. We've done 4 Caribbean cruises, none on Disney ships. There were always plenty of kids. On the last trip, there were about 3,500 guests - about 1,000 were children. People don't just take kids on Disney cruises. Most don't, actually, since they can't afford Disney cruises. And our trips have been at different times of year - March, June, August, and October if I remember correctly.

I should have been specific with my query - I was wondering how many kids would be in the Podcast 6.0 cruise group

 

[thegales]

A question for those who have sailed RCCL previously. Are there 'ship wide' evening activities? On DCL, we all know that certain shows are in the Walt Disney Theater on particular nights, there is Pirate Night, Movie Night, etc. Is this the same on RCCL? Or is it less defined, where a show may be for numerous nights, and we would pick which night we wanted to see it? I assuming there would be some more specific Podcast activities at certain times, but at this point, I am more curious about RCCL's entertainment/activities.

 

[thegales]

I found the following Cruise Compass postings for a similar itinerary, showing the activities for each day. I recognize that things can change, but in the main Opal Theater, they have CATS the second night, a specialty act for two nights, Come Fly with Me Production Show for two nights, and the Farewell Comedy Show on the last night. But there are also other shows happening at the same time elsewhere on the ship, such as the Frozen in Time Ice Show and the Oasis of Dreams Aqua Show.
