Editorial Summary

The creator addresses a variety of frequently asked questions regarding Royal Caribbean cruising. He explains that the company uses a modular pricing model for amenities like internet and drinks to keep base fares lower for passengers who do not require them. Regarding ship pricing, he notes that while Icon of the Seas will likely see price decreases over the next two decades as it ages, new ships naturally command a premium. The creator also clarifies that RFID wristbands are fully waterproof and discusses the reality that inaugural sailings are rarely one hundred percent functional. For travelers planning trips to Perfect Day at CocoCay, he recommends March or April to avoid the windiest months and hurricane season. Additional topics include the differences in venues on Asian Spectrum cruises, the experience of beach bungalows at Labadie, and advice for maximizing value on short three day cruises. He concludes by discussing the benefits of holiday cruises and offering general guidance on comparing travel insurance policies through comparison websites.
