One our most memorable moments was at Sarento's. My daughter an I had just got our pizza and we're putting pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and oregano on it. I shook the oregano can once and the top came off dumping a pile of dried herbs on my plate. Without missing a beat the lady behind me reached over and grabbed a pinch the herbs for her pizza. We all looked at each other and lost it. The moral of the story: spontaneous comedy is free, too

[@DonnaDavis-l1u]

What a great story. I’m so glad you got a laugh out of.

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

I prefer the term "included" nothing is free, it's paid for with the money for the cruise

[@GailLewis-hg3ul]

Not free-----included.

[@DreamHolidayEscapes]

😂

[@jossacosta8445]

💯…. And prepaid!!!

[@FelixTorres-wl5vt]

Technicalities

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

Exactly! I hate when people say free, like we paid for it in the cruise!

[@jimward7881]

Actually it’s complimentary The difference is go into Dunkin’ Donuts and take a handful of creamers and sweeteners. The manager said hey what are you doing? I said they are free he said no! They compliment the purchased coffee

[@ayana4501]

My favorite freebie is the main dining and windjammer!

[@jennifercoates4226]

I love the robes Royal Caribbean lends its guests during the cruise!

[@leslieg1718]

We found Labadee absolutely beautiful! Also really enjoyed going to the beach that was all the way at the end which was kind of secluded and so great for exploring the water... Very shallow for so far out. Gorgeous white sand and crystal clear blue water! Didn't have to spend anything extra and this was our favorite day!

[@dznyrunner6272]

Our most recent sailing on Wonder was fabulous! MDR was great every night we were there. CoCo Cay was a great beach day with included shade in the sand and attentive people offering to get you drinks. Spent every late evening in the Schooner Bar with Billy Pando on piano or in the Mason Jar listening to the band. Only comment I have is that the volume was SO loud in all of the theater/Studio 2B shows that at times we could not understand what was being sung. Other than that...wonderful memories on board.

[@JuanPabloDj88]

After doing the dining package in symphony of the seas it was amazing. But to be honest there is nothing like being where everybody is. And also the flexibility of the restaurants included. We waisted so much time at the specialty dining that for me is not worth it doing it again.

[@jt513945]

I like that you get to ride on a fabulous floating hotel some rooms(or staterooms) having ocean view balconies providing you transportation to a new destination virtually everyday all included at no extra cost. Sometimes you get to ride in a boat(or tender) to the port destination if the situation requires it or if there is no pier available all at no extra cost.

[@DonnaDavis-l1u]

A unique way to describe a cruise. I am the easiest person in the world to please. I find joy and happiness in almost anything I choose to do. ❤❤❤❤

[@MR3DDev]

It's a pet peeve of mine when Cruise KZbinrs call these free. None of this is free, you are paying for it with your admission ticket.

[@thomasbronk7324]

He did say in the beginning of the video for no extra cost. Then he preceeded with free after that to keep it simple

[@JulieThompson38]

One disappointment was that movies cost extra in the room when they should be included. Holland has Royal beat when it comes to things they don't nickel and dime cruisers on.

[@bethanyaudion9441]

The movies, in your room, also are included on Princess.

[@JulieThompson38]

@@bethanyaudion9441 Yes. All Carnival lines :)

[@johnjohnrn8655]

Or do what Disney does……I love that we can watch all sorts of old and new movies from Disney. I will watch the jungle book or a marvels movie for the few hours you are in your cabin.

[@sf3413]

Piano at Schooner bar!

[@bronzefox9035]

We love the rock wall on Royal.

[@jimnbigd7607]

We haven't cruised in 5 years due to wife no longer able to walk. Is there still a Captain's party with free champagne? Also, I believe continental breakfast room service is still free. For the food, Johnny Rockets is free only for breakfast which is only on some classes of ships. Free tip 1: Make a free mocha by mixing part or all of a hot chocolate packet with free coffee. (IMO Cafe Promenade has the best free coffee other than the Diamond Lounge cappuccino machine.) Free tip 2: Get an empty coffee cup and spoon from the windjammer, then put Sprinkles free ice cream or frozen yogurt in the cup rather in in a cone -- It is easier to eat that way. You can even stir in some milk or chocolate milk (always free) to make a free milk shake. Also, wife and I are Diamond members so we get free drinks -- I hear it is 4 free drinks per day now with few if any restrictions. Also, Diamond Lounge had a free cappuccino machine (much better than any other free coffee on the ship) -- Does this still exist?

[@pare20]

I hope y’all are able to get back out there soon!

[@lauriemoser4208]

Room service is $8. No matter how much food. May be free if your tier allows it. Rent a damn scooter and go anywhere.

[@brentshuffler1234]

​@@lauriemoser4208There is a complete breakfast menu that is still complimentary for room-service. The surcharge is for other times of the day and premium menus/items.

[@jimnbigd7607]

​ @lauriemoser4208 We have used our own electric scooter for many years, and it works great on the ship. Unfortunately, my wife cannot walk at all, even to get out of bed to get to the scooter.

[@jcaseyoneseventy]

Obviously I don't know your situation, but I'm a full time wheelchair user and cruise as often as I can afford to. If this is at all an option for you, I really do encourage you to try it. The help you get on board is phenomenal. Hoping you can get back on the seas soon!

[@gamingwithalfredo]

Wow brother this brings back memories. Working at el loko fresh, coco cay. Serving ice cream at sprinkles and windjammer. Eating the leftovers after the shift.

[@dan81275a]

First, nothing is "free." It is included. The best "included" experiences are the Windjammer and the Solarium adults-only area. RC needs more "child free" areas, as well as a "child free" specialty restaurant or two.

[@aprilsimmons5137]

We luv included items! No beverage package, no upscale dining for us.

[@jorgeo2970]

Love free stuff

[@99gords]

Do you happen to know if the virgin drinks are half price or full price

[@helciobmello]

I did not know Johnny Rocket was free. Is it really? As far as I remember many items had prices assigned to them on a menu displayed outside. Besides, their milk shakes have discounts for Gold and above C&A members, if I am not mistaken.

[@sitnioignoieg]

Johnny Rockets is free for breakfast, specifically. You are correct that the other items have prices though

[@andyl9920]

I think only on some ships and depends on which room u got?? I know Johnny Rockets on Freedom class ships aint free

[@helciobmello]

@@andyl9920 It was not free on Liberty of the Seas (which is indeed of Freedom class). One of the crew members told be that breakfast was free on Johnny Rockets on Oasis-class vessels only.

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

JR is free for breakfast on Oasis Class ships only. It costs money for lunch and dinner on all ships, including Oasis

[@kathyschut1325]

Free only at breakfast

[@cruisingcomplete]

I feel royal Caribbean does include alot more for free or included than alot of other cruise lines. Sadly it feels like moving forward there are more items being added that are not included.

[@NecieytheGREAT]

Thank you! Great video

[@brentwandel2798]

I was looking at the MDR menus for my upcoming cruise, and I noticed there no longer appears to be a night with an included lobster tail. Is this an anomaly, or has RCCL quietly changed this fleet wide?

[@rhondalyn100]

Drives me nuts when anyone calls anything on a cruise ship "free". Nothing is free, it is included in the cruise fare. You have paid for it so it is not free. It is "included". 🙂

[@Brad-kt8lw]

Question do they have shrimp and crap legs at the wind jammer?

[@lifelovesme]

No

[@lucabrasi5070]

There’s always shrimp

[@travismayes23]

Great video once again. I'm hoping one day I can meet you on a cruise. you'd be really cool to hang out with

[@Carrusing4us]

We’re loyal to the RCC brand D+(including Celebrity). The Costal Kitchen is kinda meh. It’s ok but for a suite restaurant the food could be more elevated. The luminae on celb is nice. 👍

[@christinemarino5732]

I don't think of any of this as free, it is included. Your cruise cost has all these included.....😂

[@timothycheuvront8284]

There ain't nothing free in life...or on a cruise. Some things are included in the price and some are extra. But nothing is free!

[@johnjohnrn8655]

Get a deal with peacock or Netflix and put a selection of movies or shows in your cabin. Why would I pay for anything if I have the internet on my phone and I can download things on my phone or my son’s iPad

[@RBickersjr]

Wait a minute, on that list of restaurants that are free you listed. Johnny rockets. That's not free or included.😮

[@mattmoeller6791]

Breakfast is included for free

[@RoyalCaribbeanBlog]

Breakfast on Oasis Class ships is Free

[@kathyschut1325]

Free for breakfast only

[@zcvxs]

I ate too many and they bring it up everytime we hang.

[@Bob-l3r]

Can someone please advise me and give me the name of a hotel or a couple of hotels located in Rome that a model will be priced I so appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

[@clintonbell7256]

the free gym working out for nothing

[@Joemondaking]

Crazy parents would rather drop their kids off somewhere for a week than spend the vacation as a family

[@Allthathingss]

We were a little bummed that Royal charged $3.50 per small container of popcorn on Grandeur Of The Seas. Of course, it smelled delicious as we entered the theatre to catch the shows. Whhhhyyyyy???? I can see $1 per popcorn BUT $3.50???? Yes, we folded the last night & bought 2....curse you RCCL 😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!

[@laughremixsquad]

@@Its-tee-time he sounds like deluxe beverage package Matt 🍻

[@1larrydom1]

You paid for everything. All of it. Nothing is free. "No additional cost," means you already paid and do not need to pay more.

[@kimmy722]

Thank you. I get so annoyed with the “complimentary” crap

[@FelixTorres-wl5vt]

Not into karaoke, why listen to crap singers when I can go listen to actual great singers. Waste of time...

[@SteveWhite-wv2wk]

Karaoke is FREE at any bar in any city or town anywhere in the US of A. Just remember people, NO "Stairway " and NO "Free Bird"!!! Lol

[@andyl9920]

Sadly RCs food is actually really not that good. Their best food are their breakfast items. Windjammer lunch amd dinner are mediocre. Main dining room is okay at best. Pizza got a little bit better....i would give it a 2.5/5 for their food 😢

[@jeaninealexander2061]

I really enjoy Royal Caribbean food and find the dining room especially good.

[@GODLUAT]

Agreed. their food went down hill. rc adventure of the seas has better buffet than wonder's

[@brianm2129]

Repeat after me" INCLUDED IN THE CRUISE FARE " ....
