11/28/2014 11:51:48How is the pizza? Please do extensive taste testing.KatThe same "compellingly awful" it's been on previous sailings. Some things never change.

GeeSorry. No magic soda machines on the Independence still.

11/28/2014 12:00:59Will the whiskey selection be as wonderful as last year?Meg C.Yes. Probably even more so.

11/28/2014 12:05:44Do they have the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines for those of us who buy an unlimited soda pass?AgentPayneSorry. See above.

11/28/2014 12:18:24Is there any way to have better seating arrangement in the Goth nightclub for shadow events?ZSandmannWe are planning to rearrange the setup in that room to allow better sightlines for all attendees. It's still not a PERFECT space for concerts, but we're hoping it'll be improved.

11/28/2014 12:21:32Can we get rumchata stocked on the boat?SapphireMindWe have submitted it on our "please stock these liquors" list. No guarantees, but here's hoping.

11/28/2014 14:02:49We are going to have a third adult in the large bedroom of the Royal Family Suite. What exactly do we request for an adult-type rollaway bed? RCI seems to think a rollaway is a crib.Laurie S.According to housekeeping, an extra rollaway bed will not fit in that room.

11/28/2014 14:27:291) For Android and iPhone please download FireChat and see how it behaves while at sea (extra points for chatting from the bow to the stern)

2) For iPhone, please have your iPhone 'forget' the wifi network onboard and then try to re-add it as follows:
a) select the network in settings panel
b) tap cancel on RCCL login screen
c) tap (i) on network in settings panel for options
d) turn on auto-join and turn off auto-login
e) make sure you stay connected while enjoying fruity drinks
origamislayerWe had no real success getting it to work properly. We still enjoyed the fruity drinks, though. YMMV.

11/28/2014 15:56:03The warm bread song at the beginning of dinner is very disruptive! It was 'funny' but not appreciated. It disrupted conversations and was very annoying. (and rude if one thinks about it)MollyGVery little we can do about this; it's part of the dining room program. We did register our concerns. Interestingly, they mentioned that they get a great many positive comments about it as well. So if they were to make *us* happy, they'd make others sad.

11/28/2014 16:33:34I REALLY REALLY appreciated the gluten free Dogfish Head beer that you had at the pub last year.

PLEASE stock that again!!

... can we do a ball pit again?
RishieLooks extremely likely. (The beer, not the ball pit.)

11/28/2014 16:41:52Can an extra bed be put in the Royal Family Suite master bedroom?

We have five people sharing a Royal Family Suite. The RFS consists of a master bedroom with two single beds (or one double), a secondary room with two single beds (or one double), plus two lofted/fold-out beds, and a fold out couch.

We are currently planning on putting two people each in the master and the secondary bedroom and then the fifth person will be on the couch.

We're wondering if it would be possible to put an third bed in the master bedroom so that the couch area would always be able to be free, everyone would have a bed, but no one would have to use the pull down beds.
Andy A.According to housekeeping, an extra rollaway bed will not fit in that room.

11/30/2014 9:50:20Would it be possible/okay to bring extra wifi radios to hook up in the theater? The existing radios never keep up. I could personally provide 3 in bridged mode - they would jus pass through whatever setup the existing network uses. Just need 3 Ethernet drops or access to a switch.Tony S.We cannot install our own equipment, but have requested the ship deploy their extra access points to the main theater.
16
11/30/2014 10:17:29How available is the chapel on Sunday? What does it have by way of instruments, hymnals, and holy books?stationaryThe chapel is generally open. It's not very big, nor does it really have anything in place (instruments, hymnals, etc.); it's just a general space for "silent contemplation."

11/30/2014 23:32:43Can we not get Warm Bread hoodies instead of regular sweatshirts? Pretty please?BethSorry.
18
12/1/2014 21:26:33Can the ship provide us with a fondu pot to use for the shadow cruise cheese party, or will I need to pack my own? If I need to bring my own, will I be allowed to pack the fondu forks or are sharp, pokey things frowned upon (note, I'm not flying, so airline rules are not a concern)?knobodyThe greater issue is that a fondue pot will not be allowed; appliances with heating elements and which could potentially cause fires (irons, hotplates, etc.) are prohibited. If one is found in your luggage, it will likely be confiscated until the end of the cruise. Please don't bring a fondue pot.

12/4/2014 22:04:32Do all of the room types have hair dryers?PenskaaYes.

12/6/2014 23:52:29Is milk included in the regular price, or do I need to buy the dreaded soda package to get milk?PneumaticIt is included.

12/7/2014 17:23:03Last year, I brought a vegan cake recipe and the chef made it. It was awesome! Would this be something they would do again? We could provide them with recipes in advance for vegan and/or gluten free desserts. Pawluh(Paula)We have mentioned this to the staff. Best plan is to mention it to the maître d on the first day so you can plan accordingly.
