Things Cruisers MUST know before trying Royal Caribbean Cruises

Editorial Summary

Jared Jordan of JJ Cru shares various insights and money saving tips gathered from his experience completing thirty cruises with Royal Caribbean. He highlights several amenities and features that passengers might overlook, such as the availability of 24 hour hot tubs on every ship and a free chat feature within the Royal Caribbean app that does not require a Wi-Fi purchase. To save money, he suggests pro-rating internet packages by starting them mid-cruise and rebooking cruise planner items like excursions or dining if the price drops. He also explains the status match program between Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises and discusses how casino play can lead to complimentary cruises and drinks. Regarding dining, he recommends visiting Park Cafe on disembarkation day and utilizing fresh egg stations to avoid powdered eggs. The creator advises against booking connecting cabins due to potential noise issues through thin walls, suggesting instead that families with underage children use adjacent or across the hall staterooms. Finally, he notes that booking through a travel agent can sometimes provide access to special agency rates or better refundable deposit options.
