Welcome to March! We hope you are having a great weekend and are ready to sit back, relax and catch up with all the latest Royal Caribbean news!<\/p>\n
Royal Caribbean made a controversial change to its drink packages<\/a> by removing the souvenir cup and access to soda machines.<\/p>\n Beginning March 15, the Coca-Cola souvenir cup and Freestyle machines will only be included with the soda package.<\/p>\n You can pay $4.99 to regain access to it with the purchase of a drink package.<\/p>\n Have you subscribed to the Royal Caribbean Blog YouTube Channel<\/a>? We share some great videos there regularly, all about taking a Royal Caribbean cruise! This week, we are sharing our latest video \u2014 This Is Why I Think You\u2019re Crazy to Do This on a Cruise<\/a> \u2014 and don\u2019t forget to subscribe to our channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n The list of things you can’t bring on a cruise ship<\/a> just got a big update.<\/p>\n The new look expands the list to include new additions, as well as add more context to other existing bans,<\/p>\n It appears Royal Caribbean wants to ensure it’s clearer what you can and cannot bring on a ship.<\/p>\n Cruisers are always coming up with new ways to make their cruise better, and I stumbled on a treasure trove of cruise hacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some of these hacks are clever changes, while others are things I’d never have thought to do myself.<\/p>\n Each offers a new possibility for making your cruise easier or better.<\/p>\n There was an uneasiness about a solar eclipse cruise<\/a>, so Royal Caribbean acted swiftly.<\/p>\n Some passengers were worried their sailing wouldn’t offer the perfect viewing of the solar eclipse. The issue was the sailing was marketed as being a solar eclipse trip.<\/p>\n This week, Royal Caribbean adjusted the itinerary after enough complains came in to ensure passengers would have the best chance of seeing this natural phenomena.<\/p>\n There are new cruises you can book<\/a> that have just been released.<\/p>\n Royal Caribbean added more Caribbean sailings to its 2027-2028 deployment, and they’re available to book immediately.<\/p>\n These new offerings fill in some gaps for ships that didn’t have every sailing revealed through April 2028.<\/p>\n We’ve just released the 598th episode<\/a> of the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast. In it, Matt looks at the recent trend of adding more casino space on cruise ships.<\/p>\n You can subscribe to the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast via YouTube<\/a>, iTunes<\/a>, Google Play<\/a> or RSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.royalcaribbeanblog.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to March!
