Royal Caribbean responds to rumors about closed water slides on its ships
Water slides have been closed on the biggest cruise ships, and Royal Caribbean says the rumors out there are false.
According to guests, most of the slides have been closed in the Category 6 waterpark for many days. There are stories about cost-cutting measures as to why the slides aren’t operating.
A Royal Caribbean representative shared the real reasons that don’t back up the online claims.
There’s now a new “first” sailing for Legend of the Seas (but it’s not the inaugural)
There’s now an earlier sailing of Legend of the Seas when it arrives in Florida.
The cruise line announced it’s adding a 3-night cruise prior to the official inaugural sailing.
Since Legend will be ready earlier, Royal Caribbean wants to have the ship in service earlier than expected.
First look at changes Royal Caribbean has made to Ovation of the Seas
Ovation of the Seas just finished a multi-million dollar Royal Amplification, and we have our first look at what’s been changed.
The ship has new bars and restaurants, an expanded casino, and even new staterooms.
Ovation is one of three ships this spring getting upgrades.
Spotted: New brunch specialty meal
A new brunch option is available to book at one of the most popular restaurants on Royal Caribbean.
The Chops Grille Brunch is an extra cost option to enjoy things like Steak & Eggs with filet mignon, avocado toast, shrimp tortellini alfredo, or cherries jubilee.
It appears to be only offered on newer ships at the moment, but could be something to look for in the future on other vessels.
Royal Caribbean updated its casino program, and one change could hit players hard
Casino players are reporting Royal Caribbean has made changes to its loyalty program that could impact how you play onboard.
Depending on how you gamble, some of the changes will be welcomed by players, and others perhaps not.
The tweaks include extra benefits, less points-per-dollar, and more.
