I have a couple of noob questions that perhaps others may be wondering themselves. I'm planning on attending 70k for the first time and I was hoping there were some experienced sailors that can help.
1. When the "Booking Codes" are released, what do we do then? Do we book on the cruise website using the code? Can someone elaborate on the actual process of buying the ticket and booking your cabin?
Yep, normally each band plays once on the way to the port-of-call, and once on the way back. There have been rare exceptions (Wintersun once played three shows, I think), and there is also the All-Star Jam, which is held once.2. I've heard that all bands play two times. Is this true?
Ehh. I've been disappointed a few times by the food available in the Windjammer (buffet) and also in the Main Dining Room; it almost seems like Royal steps back a bit on the quality knowing it's a charter. Generally I've been happier with the dining options on Carnival than on Royal, but that's a pointless data point for most on 70K. Think of the buffet as being similar to a Golden Corral, the MDR as being similar to a Bennigan's and the pizza as... Well, it's there. It's not great but it's there. There might also be small finger sandwiches aailable at the Promenade Cafe (24 hours) although those were hit-and-miss on our last 70k sailing. Johnny Rockets is pretty good but there is a cover charge.3. How is the food? (No, really...tell the truth)
Buy the Wi-Fi package and hope your cellphone has Wi-Fi Calling capability. Before we lose sight of the towers of Miami, turn on Airplane Mode, then re-enable wi-fi. Our ship MAY have Starlink installed for ocean wi-fi service.4. I'm aware that cellphone coverage is sparse and very expensive. What if a family member at home needs to contact you in case of an emergency? I'm assuming there is some way to do that, yes?
