Our room happened to go down in price after we booked with RC. I called them to see what they could do for us and they gave us the difference ($300.00) as an on board credit. Don't be afraid to ask if this happens to you.

To get the true lowest price book very early then bookmark the cruise and check it regularly. Any time the price comes down you can call and get the price adjusted up until final payment date.

This is for any cruise line not just Royal but ships operate on their own time. Depending on where you are in the world and the time of year you're sailing, ship time may or may not be the same as the time on shore. I wear and old "dumb" watch and keep it set according to ship time. This eliminates the chance of time confusion that can happen with electronic smart devices. Remember cruise ships will leave you if you're not back on time.

We did a guarantee cabin on Freedom of the Seas and got a great cabin in the middle of the ship which we love.

If you book an independent shore excursion, be sure it is refundable in case your ship has an itinerary change!

My first ever cruise is in April 2024 on Wonder Of The Seas and I’ve chosen to get an ocean view balcony as it will be my birthday sailing… So I’m very excited!

Ben often these top ten videos are clip bait, however even excellent doesn't do this video justice, we haven't been on as many cruises as you and David, but these but are our deal breaking principles that we have learned are essential for good experience. Thank you so much for the thoughtful way you put this together, too many people have bad experiences because they don't do research.

I absolutely love Royal Caribbean and can’t help but always come back to them or compare other cruises to them. They just are a all around great cruise line. Thanks for the great content!

I'm new to Royal and loving it. I've only cruised on Odyssey, but have Wonder booked for July & Icon booked for the inaugural sailing in January 2024. These are great tips, thank you!

I am going on the Allure of the Seas in 9 days! I am so excited.

We’ve just back from a family cruise (7 night W Med) on Symphony. It was excellent and the first time we’ve sailed since 2017.
Good video, but I’d like to add something about the rooms. A chap we met had an interior boardwalk room above Boleros and said it was noisy.
Our booking was a mess as we’d booked an ocean view and selected the room, but RC “upgraded” us to a Central Park balcony. It was lovely, BUT I’d booked a sea view which I didn’t get.
A huge improvement was the kind of mandatory hand washing before entering self service restaurants.
The best find was the Solarium Bistro, it was excellent but you have to book for dinner.
The level of service onboard was amazing and as always the great crew made the holiday.

Thank you so much. This is the best cruise video i have listened to, simple, clear, practical and to the point. Thank you. We cruise in August...

Going on Oasis of the Seas in July from NJ. These tips came in just in time and super helpful! Thanks! Love the new channel =)

Didn't know you could take your own water and juice on the ships. Thanks guys

Sir Ben, I think I have to politely say I think you missed an important point on the RC Dress Code topic. I think it is a real important point to potential first time cruisers. You explained the dress code for Formal Night. But you made it sound like people dress up in ties, suites, gowns, tuxs, etc. and if you are not interested, skip the MDR and can eat in the Windjammer and other eating venues. All sounds pretty accurate except that one not dressed formally can eat in the MDR. They won't be turned away. I think this is so important. Even though I love dressing up, I always see people who are not in the MDR on formal night. I think it is well accepted. That's the point. All's good and thanks for the great summary of RCL.

Thank you for your very informative video. Booked on Odyssey of the Seas to the Mediterranean July 28 2024 with our family 10 people 7 adults 3 children

Going on my 4th cruise this October (God willing). It is a 9 day cruise of New England and Canada. I'm riding on the Liberty of the Seas which I never was on. I can't wait. I love the food esp Chops Grill.

[mercyrodriguez]

Thank you for your new channel, I love it as much as we love Royal. We are booked on 5 Royal ships this year, including the inaugural of the Icon.

[MRDDev]

I am not sure about the book early advise. I keep seeing cruises leaving in like 2 weeks that are much cheaper than anything I can find for let's say December.
