Just because you can book your cruise online, doesn’t mean you should.
The truth is, Royal Caribbean offers incredible experiences! But you’ll miss out on the full value if you choose the wrong options. That’s where I come in.
The Problem with DIY Cruise Planning
Booking a cruise on your own might seem simple. In just a few clicks, it's booked! But here’s what most first-time cruisers don’t realize:
- Cabin choice really does matter. Most people choose their cabin based on price. What they end up getting is usually a cramped, windowless room in the belly of the ship, too far away from the activities, pools and restaurants. Those experiences end up forming a negative perception of cruising and creates a hesitation to sail again.
- Dining options vary. You have the choice to eat at a set time or flexible time, to eat with a group of passengers at a large table or have a table for two, to eat in the main dining room or at the specialty restaurants on board. This choice is a personal one, but without a knowledgeable guide, it’s too easy to choose one that doesn’t fit your preferences.
- Accessibility isn’t always available online. Each Royal Caribbean ship has truly accessible cabins in multiple cabin categories, complete with a roll-in shower and a fold-down shower seat, full turning radiuses, accessible balconies, and grab bars. These cabins are often blocked off from public booking to ensure they are available to those who actually need them.
- Hidden costs add up. Gratuities, Wi-Fi, drinks and excursions can surprise you at the end of your cruise if you’re not prepared. With the right guidance from a Travel Advisor, we can often secure offers to lower the cost of these extras, or equip you with decision-making knowledge to get the best value from those extra purchases.
