  1. Grocery stores now sell smaller cans at 5.5 oz. Can I bring 24 cans at 5.5 oz each and still be under the required 12 cans at 17 oz. each ? There are always some loop holes! Thanks for your answers !

  2. I am glad they are stopping people bringing booze onboard ships i have seen on numerous times these cheapskates bringing there own and then expecting the bar staff to provide them with a glass full of ice and lemon

  3. I think Royal Caribbean is missing the boat when it comes to the beverage package. take a lesson from Norwegian cruises on the best policies, you will get a lot more customers for your line.
    Wake up!!!!

  4. thank you so much for this update, we’re going Summer of 2019 and trying to economizer tremendously..
