For the frosted coffee hack - I’d recommend the reverse order! Get the ice cream first and then order espresso to pour on top. It’s called an affogato which is Italian for “drowned”. Letting the espresso sit in the cup for too long will cause the flavor to become bitter, so pouring fresh espresso on top of the ice cream is best 😌

I have definitely used all these hacks. I'll add, if you don't drink alcohol much but definitely want soda/specialty coffees/energy drinks/bottled water, get the refreshment package and bring your bottles of wine with you on embarkation day. You can purchase individual alcoholic drinks here and there. As long as you aren't buying multiple alcoholic drinks daily, this hack is a big money saver.

For our last cruise I bought a small battery powered digital clock for the room with red LEDs. Those room can get really dark (especially interior rooms). If I wake up in the middle of the night I can easily see what time it is. I don't know why but this is comforting to me to be able to know the time. We have done the magnetic hooks, and we have brought swimwear in our carry-ons.

I usually bring an insulated mug w/cover for my coffee or tea (less refill runs). Maybe I'll also try a small thermos next time for hot chocolates in the room. One other tip is to see if you can do a back to back cruise on a repositioning cruise on the same ship. Lets you extend the vacation a little.

One of my favorite cruise hacks is to stay on the boat on a port day. Way less people on the boat means easy access throughout the boat including no lines. We did this at Nassau and it was great. We had a blast doing flowrider, the rock climbing wall and no lines for food.

I don't know if its a hack or not, but on a day where I was feeling a little landsick/seasick after a port, the hubby and I went to the MDR. I tried to eat something but just couldn't. I went back to the room while he stayed to finish his meal. He had my meal boxed up and brought it to me. This was great because the food wasn't wasted and I was able to eat it once I was feeling better.

Something I found disappointing when we skipped a port day is that things like the Flowrider and other onboard activities were very limited. I understand that the crew need a break and all of that, but we specifically chose to stay on board for one of the three port days but found that what we should have been able to do onboard weren't operating.

That connecting cabin hack is even better than you know. On my upcoming cruise the cost to have 4 people in one internal balcony cabin of the same class vs two connecting internal rooms of that class were only $100 more for the entire party. Saving $100 is not worth being crammed into a single room.

I always check with RCL about which are appropriate for the ship I am sailing. 😊

I would like to add to the drink package hack. Let's say you are in a situation (like myself) where you don't really drink alcohol but you might get maybe two or three drinks the entire cruise and you also might want that speciality coffee once a day but you don't think the $500 for the drink package is worth it because you really don't think you're going to order that much. Instead of putting up your credit card remove the card and add cash to your room card. You can even equal the amount of the ultimate drink package if you want this way whatever you don't spend you can get back on the last night. Think of it as sort of your own personally funded on board credit. This can also work if you are in that situation where one person drinks and the other doesn't. For example if the drink package cost $500 each add $750 in cash (which 99% of people won't drink that much) and whatever is left over you can get back instead of paying $1000. If you actually do drink that much (not judging) then get the package but even with speciality coffee I've never spent more than about $80 on drinks (alcohol or otherwise).

We like Royal's coffee punch card. It's about $30 for 15 punches and whatever you don't use you can use on your next cruise. Definitely gonna try the coffee/ice cream hack. Love the connecting room hack. We like to do that with balcony rooms and then have the steward open the divider on the balcony and it gives you a bigger balcony.

Do you know if this applies to bookings made from Australia? Am booked on Star of the Seas next year and just checked prices - $1446 AUD difference on our sailing for the same cabin type. Our travel agent doesn’t seem to know too much about Royal Caribbean.

I'd go from one coffee bar to another to get coffee for others. Also I noticed the validity date on the soda cups is 2 weeks, does that mean you can get soda for 2 weeks (if cruising for that long) for the price of 1?

One hack I've been using for years is bringing your own plastic straws! Every time you get a drink, you get a paper straw, which I think is terrible! I don't want to be drinking my Mai Tia through cardboard! I get the long, colorful ones that bend. Not only that, but I even had people ask "where did you get a normal straw from???", I carry a lot, so I always give them one. If you enjoy drinking out of a smaller version of a toilet paper tube, then more power to you! But plastic straws are a must, specially for a drink package.

I bought the special coffe on ours, and one out of four was okay. Nowhere close to what I got back home. I took coffee & hot chocolate-and it got me by. I found myself also buying alcoholic drinks 🍹 to justify the price on the crazy drinks, when I usually only drink once or twice a year, and only one or two @ those times. I wish they had more sugar free items aside from water 💦-all sugar or nothing. Something in between would be nice.

Fire your travel agent. You are responsible for getting to the port early enough. They are not going to hold up a ship with thousands of people just because someone didn't plan appropriately. For embarkation day, always fly to the port a day early and book a hotel room for the overnight. For port day- you are responsible to be back on the ship ON TIME. That said if you book an excursion through RC and it runs late, the ship will wait for you. All other scenarios, the ship will NOT wait for you.

I've heard reports recently that some lines are no longer allowing price matches after price drops. So buyer beware: your milage may vary here.

You don’t need to beware. There’s no risk in you asking. If you haven’t made your final payment, you can always cancel and rebook at the new rate. If you have passed that date, it’s still worth asking. If they won’t refare your booking, try asking for a cabin upgrade instead.

I’m booking the icon for 2026. Either Jan, Feb, or march. Can people chime in on which month is the best from a weather perspective please?

@quintonburton9205 All 3 months should be ok weather wise. March( depending on where you're sailing to) is a little warmer while Jan and Feb are definitely cooler. Think 60s out at sea and mid 70s in most Caribbean ports. The biggest thing you'll have to worry about are the storms. Not necessarily hurricanes but more so the normal Caribbean rain storms that occur throughout the year with added negative( or benefit) of cooler temps. I hope this helps.

Jan & Feb will be about 3-5 degrees cooler than march. Be careful about booking in March though as spring break for some schools starts as early as the 2nd week. I was on spring break last week. (march 11-15th).

Have to call something out. The crew do not know the chicken sandwich you have to order the chicken sandwich and the mozzarella sticks separate. We have tried many times to order together and always get a confused look. Also at sorrentos. They never allow us to order a pizza. We have tried on many ships and are always told they don’t do that.

The issue that I’m running into is the fact that I want the Soda Package for myself, but my wife doesn’t drink Soda. She would likely want either Coffee or Water Package, but we were told that both of us have to get the same package. If this is true, it kinda sucks that they’d make someone buy something that they won’t or CAN’T drink.

@@KetoFitChef before you start lying, check into it further because I read somewhere that you don't have to have both on the soda plan -- I believe both having to buy it applies to the drink plan because unfortunately, people lie and buy one package but both drink from it. Unfortunately, I could not find the place where I read this (and yes, it was on a RCC website)

Yeah, about the lower price "hack". Went through an agent found through your site and when prices dropped for a cruise booked, he told us that it went up. Needless to say, we missed out on saving a LOT of money by trusting one of your agents.

i didn't see anything that looks like soft-serve ice cream. I saw frozen yogurt and something that may have been refrozen ice cream. But all of the clips you showed looked like they had huge frozen crystals. That either means it isn't cream based or that it thawed and refroze in the machine.
