Voyager of the Seas at Sydney's Circular Quay

Justo antes de comenzar esta publicación, quiero dejar en claro que esta no es una publicación paga. No obtengo absolutamente nada de Royal Caribbean en absoluto. Las opiniones en este blog son mías, de mi experiencia, y las razones que he enumerado están vigentes al momento de escribir este artículo. No puedo garantizar que siempre permanecerán igual, por lo que siempre debe investigar. Sin embargo, si encuentra esto útil, le agradecería que lo compartiera con cualquier otra persona que conozca que esté pensando en reservar su próximo crucero a bordo de un barco de Royal Caribbean.

¿Royal Caribbean cobra su tarjeta de crédito dos veces y luego lanza una transacción?

por

I’ve seen this question come up a few times, so thought I would answer it. First, let’s elaborate on what is actually being asked by using an example: If I buy a shore excursion onboard, does Royal Caribbean place a hold on the funds, then at the end of the cruise bill that shore excursion to me along with anything else I have purchased. Thus meaning I have to not only wait for the hold to be released but also ensure I have double the funds in the account in the first place?

Lautoka Fijian South Sea Island Experience

por
Welcome to South Sea Island

We had trouble finding much useful information online or from people we know about things to see and do in Lautoka, Fiji, the third stop and first Fijian port on our South Pacific cruise on the Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas. As a result, we didn’t book any shore excursions in advance. After reading … Lee mas

Obtener el mejor valor de cambio de moneda en Royal Caribbean

On our South Pacific cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas we were sitting with another passenger who was not impressed that when he made a payment on his SeaPass account he only got USD$0.63 for each AUD$1.00 when the exchange rate that day was USD$0.74. I’ve also read a number of complaints from others on blogs and forums, with people questioning why this is and if Royal is taking a cut beyond the 3% exchange fee they publicise.

I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that there are factors that can influence it. For example, it is possible for Royal Caribbean to buy say AUD$100,000,000 at the start of the Australian season for a ship at an exchange rate of USD$0.63. They can then operate the entire season off the Australian dollars they purchased to start with, they then know exactly what their Australian budget is for the season and while there can be unexpected costs it allows them to know pretty close to exactly what their expenditure is going to be. This means they can plan for the season more cost effectively. It also means that for the duration of the cruise season the exchange rate when exchanging on board the ship is the rate that they purchased Australian currency at to start with. This means the exchange rate on board the ship remains the same and simplifies currency exchange for crew and passengers by allowing them to know exactly what it is for the entire season.

Balcón virtual de Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas Habitación 9593 Revisión final y pensamientos

por

After spending 12 nights aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas in room 9593, a virtual balcony room, it has proven to be a very comfortable place to live for that period of time.

La habitación es más grande de lo que suelen ser las habitaciones interiores y tiene una cama king que se puede dividir en dos individuales. También tiene un pequeño pero cómodo sillón con reposapiés, tocador, barra de bar, cafetera con té, café y tazas, caja de seguridad en la habitación, armario razonable, caja de seguridad, televisor de pantalla plana con brazo giratorio y baño. El baño es muy similar al de otros barcos en camarotes interiores, con vista al mar y balcón, con lavabo, espejo grande, un armario oculto detrás del espejo en la esquina, inodoro y una ducha curva.

Reseña de Flowrider de Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas

por
Matt on the Voyager of the Seas Flowrider

Comenzaré diciendo: Nunca he usado un Flowrider antes y tampoco soy surfista, nunca he navegado.

Los únicos lugares en los que he estado han sido parques temáticos y siempre ha sido donde no he traído nadadores (p. Ej., El que solían tener en Dreamworld) o no está incluido en el boleto estándar y tienes que pagar más (por ejemplo, Wet'n'Wild), por lo que nunca ha sucedido.

Since we were on Voyager of the Seas for 12 nights which included 6 sea days I decided it was time to give it a go, even if there was a long queue.

Video: Tutorial de la habitación del balcón virtual del interior de Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas

My initial review of Royal Caribbean’s new Habitación interior con balcón virtual. in video form. We cruised on Voyager of the Seas for 12 nights from Sydney Australia to Noumea (New Caledonia), Mystery Island (Vanuatu), Lautoka (Fiji), Suva (Fiji), Isle of Pines (New Caledonia) and back to Sydney. We stayed in room 9593 which is midship about 1/3 of the way forward from the rear elevators on Voyager and we were pleasantly surprised at just how large this room actually is and how effective the virtual balcony is. I hope you find the video review helpful.

Isla misteriosa, Vanuatu: un destino de un día del crucero Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas Cruise

por

Our second port of call on our South Pacific cruise this year aboard Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas was Mystery Island.

Realmente no estábamos seguros de qué esperar, ya que habíamos leído y nos dijeron muchas cosas diferentes sobre esta pequeña isla en el extremo sur de Vanuatu. ¡A pesar de todas las cosas que habíamos oído, nos sorprendió gratamente!

Mystery Island is a tender port, so the ship comes to a stop quite close to the island and it is then about a 10-15 minute tender boat ride to the small jetty on the island. We arrived a little bit early at 8am so some early bird tenders were run before the shore excursions began. I’d definitely suggest if possible, do a shore excursion first thing in the morning so you are guaranteed off the ship early in the morning and have the most time possible on the island.

Noumea, Nueva Caledonia - Un destino de un día del crucero Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas Cruise

por

Noumea, the capital of French New Caledonia, has become a popular tourist destination from Australia and New Zealand especially as more and more cruise lines dock their ships there for a day as part of a cruise itinerary.

¿Puedes verlo todo en un día? Yo diría que no. Es posible ver un poco si lo planeas bien.

We recently visited Noumea for a day, arriving on Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas at 8:30am and departing at 4pm on a Thursday.

Video de Hyperlapse en Carcross, territorio de Yukon

por

While our Royal Caribbean Alaskan cruise was stopped in Skagway we had the opportunity to hire a car at the local Avis and do some driving. The drive from Skagway across the Alaska/Canada border into the Yukon was absolutely stunning. I decided to start recording this Hyperlapse partway through the segment. I’m not 100% sure where we were when I started, but it gives you a bit of a feel for the raw, almost untamed beauty of the Southern end of the Yukon before arriving at Carcross where I’ve included some still photos from around the town. I loved it. If we have the opportunity to go there again, I won’t hesitate for a second!
