Windjammer food sux though. We always go for main dining room for lunch and dinner.

The first lunch onboard at windjammer is quite bad. Please avoid the fried food (fish finger, chicken finger). Stale and tough.

Hi all,

Have booked a upcoming cruise and this is my first time and I will be bringing elderly with me so wanted to seek some advice.

- Would you all recommend going for traditional dining or my time dining if it is with elderly and just small group (2-3 pax).

- Do you all have any recommendations for travel insurance for cruise to nowhere for elderly with preexisting med conditions? I wanted to book the travellershield plus from dbs at first but now the tie-up is with chubbs and everybody say it sucks.

- When can I go into app to book check-in timing? is it strictly 90days before departure or must wait for some notification?

-Any other advice for a first time cruiser like me, especially from those with experience bring elderlies? What should I take note or lookout for?

Appreciate all the advice given and sorry if some of the things have been covered before. I tried to read up online but mostly coming from couples or families with young children hence wanted to hear more sharings from forummers here. Thanks in advance.

The dining at the main dining rooms are based on first come first serve basis. So your choice does not matter. There are 4 main dining rooms and they will inform you which dining room has table available. So far I have dined at all 4 dining rooms. Same menu for all. But different servers.

You can check in 45 days before your sailing date. There will be email notification. Try to check in early so that you can get early check in time. I think the earliest time is 12:30pm. Just remember that you need to do your ART test first.

The royal carribean app is essential tool for your cruise coz thats where you can book all the shows and activities. Information for all events will be available there. Need to check regularly coz they always add things.

Everything is in USD on the cruise. You can bring USD or use Credit card linked to your account to make payment. You only need to swipe your room key for any purchase onboard. Just need to settle the bills at the end of the cruise (CC is most convenient if you dont mind the fees).

Read up on earlier posts in this forum, plenty of useful info.

dont really need travel insurance for the cruise to nowhere i think. Have never bought one so far.

Some other tips :
1. Bring USD cash esp if you want go casino gamble.
2. limited choices for Asian food so take note esp if you going with elderly who needs rice/noodle/porridge/ Windjammer has porridge /noddles for breakfast i think but most of the food is western like steak, pasta, burgers, etc.
3. Bottled water only provided first day. so bring own water bottle to top up at restaurants.

Thanks guys for the tips/advice. Oh now earliest is 12.30 pm? I read earlier that it was 2 pm. Since need to take ART at raffles on the day itself, what timeslot is the earliest at the testing centre so that I wont be late for check-in? Yeah I tried reading up but some of the rules seems to be changing by the day which I guess is quite inevitable. Maybe by the time nearer to my sailing day it will changed again.

Hi invigo79, what are the shows, movies, music and dance that are nice? Thanks!

On my sailing they are showing Godzilla vs King Kong, monster hunter, tom & jerry movie. We only went to watch monster hunter. Btw no food & drink in theater. No reservations needed, first come first serve. Not many people so no need to worry about seats.

We watched sequins and feather (not nice imo), John Taylor show (amazing entertainer). We are going to watch the seven20 show later. All need reservations.

Not keen on other shows (orchestra and some live music show, first come first serve). Normally always full house, limited seating so go 30 mins early.

The door will open around 30 mins before the start of show and there will be queue. Go early if you want good seats.

Thanks Invigo79. Is it difficult to book seven20 show? Did you manage to book bumper car more than once too? Is there any water flask where we can boil hot water? Did you buy the internet package or e WiFi works as fast n smooth when making reservations?

Not difficult but must be fast. Keep on checking the apps on 1st day.

Managed to book bumper car 2nd time using 2nd account linked to the second room (only work when you have more than 1 room).

I purchased the voom stream and surf account for 2 devices. Speed is decent for youtube streaming and general surfing.
