Our second cruse was Alaska. We had planned to arrive two days ahead so we could enjoy Alaska and do some local tours. We got to the airport in Austin, TX to find that our flight to Dallas had been cancelled due to hail damage to aircraft. The airline had rescheduled our flight for two days later and we would have missed boarding. They gave us the option of driving to DFW airport and board our flight. We made it with five minutes to spare. However, our return flights were not via DFW. So, we had to get the cruise line to help us reschedule our return flights to get us to DFW and our car. The cruse was not on Royal but the advise give here about getting help is solid. Our cruse line helped and we were able to enjoy our cruise and get back to our car. Now even when we drive to Galveston, we go the day before to be safe. . .

Here's a small suggestion. Just like its important to arrive at your cruise port a day before your cruise, I would stay 1 or 2 nights in hotel after your cruise also. My reasoning is because everyone is getting of the ship at the same time and rushing to the airport. Ive been on some large ships and the lines at security(TSA) can be extremely long.. Disembarkation day can be a nightmare. And its a super long day when you add in travel. I say book a hotel for 1 night, and fly home the next morning...

This is good advise for any cruise line you may travel with. Not limited to Royal Caribbean.

Every time we go on a Royal Carribean ship (cruise to nowhere Singapore) What comes first is check in. They offer to deliver the bags to the room and when we get on the ship (after test) we go to our room and our bags are there

You can also see your SeaPass account on the TV in your room.

When I cruise I always fly in 2 days befrore and 2 days later after the cruise. Yes it costs a bit more but I'm more relaxed.

Complimentary food on a cruise is so good I can't imagine needing to pay for something better.

I guess that is why Cruises don't throw confetti anymore. Like the Love boat in the 79s

Hello dear any body knows when Navigator of the seas sailing

I have problems with motion sickness, but I didn't get seasick. What I got was LAND sickness. Yes, it is a thing. We had 2 days of being at sea and my body had a hard time adjusting to being on land when we got to port. This is where I have to brag on RC staff in the MDR. My husband stayed and ate and I went to our cabin. They boxed up the food I couldn't eat and he brought it to me. The next night they remembered what drink I had the night before and even asked me if I was feeling better. I can't wait to head out again!

I would add, if you…shall we say…have trouble keeping your fists to yourself if you’ve had a few too many then reconsider that fourth of fifth Bahama Mamma

Name one fun thing to do on a cruise that you couldn’t do anywhere else without 3900 assholes getting in your way, keeping you awake or interfering with your privacy??

[prestonmay]

Sorry Matt, I have broken almost every rule except 2 😔

Seasick: AGREE!! Time of year is important!! So: Honeymoon (January cruise) 1998, Carnival Celebration.... cue me, Sick as a dog. No Fun! Never want to cruise again!... fast forward 15 years, Mom drags us on Allure of the Seas in July... Hooked, can't get us OFF the ship! Vow to take cruises as often as possible! Sail 3 times (all May-July), no seasickness, start to swagger because we're on the BIG ships so we "Can't possibly get seasick!" ... Oh boy! 20 year anniversary cruise! We're gonna sail in the New Year on Symphony! Yup, sick as a dog, narrowly avoided puking IN Wonderland, spend rest of cruise hiding in low levels on Promenade and Casino decks.

The fact that you recommend homeopathic treatments makes me question the rest of your suggestions.

[ShusterComputer]

You are misinformed regarding maritime law and dumping trash overboard.

Forgetting to put phone in airplane mode and trying to do it all on your cruise and not allowing some time to relax.
