Adam, I know that a third Quantum-class ship is in the works, but will there ever be a third ship in the Oasis-class? I personally love that class of ship, with its unique onboard neighborhoods. – Jackie B.
Hi Leo, thanks for the question.  We have been quite pleased with the response to the short season business travel insurance Oasis of the Seas will sail while in Europe and will keep this in mind for our future planning. However, at this time we cannot comment on any plans beyond our announced deployment through winter 2014 to 2015.
Adam, it seems that the lobster dinner served in the main dining room on formal night has become a thing of the past. Is there any chance you will revisit this great tradition in the future? – Gloria S.
Great question, Gloria. We serve lobster tail on our Jasmine menu on 7 night cruises that sail from US ports. We found that the demand for lobster during our European itineraries was minimal, and therefore changed the offering on our Europe cruises to jumbo prawns.  In addition, we offer a 1 ½ pound lobster in our main dining room as part of our a la carte offering for an additional fee.
Hi Adam, I'm Loyal to Royal and would love to see you return to California. Would you consider Mexico or West Coast cruises from Catalina to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, for example? Please consider sending a ship to those of us on the West Coast. Thank you! – Joshua Y.
Thank you for reaching out, Jim.  It is always nice to hear from our most loyal guests.  This year we will not be hosting, "Diamonds in December" but we are always looking business travel insurance for new ways to reward and thank our Crown Anchor Society members for their continued appreciation to our brand and to the cruising industry.  Stay tuned for announcements about new and exciting business travel insurance promotions.
I would love to see a Royal Caribbean International ship do a world cruise. Would you consider one beginning during the summer season here in Australia ? I am Loyal to Royal and would be the first to book. – Jill F.
Hi Adam. We live in Australia and are wondering when Crown Anchor Society members who are non-US residents will have access to the magazine and other special offers available business travel insurance to US-based business travel insurance members? – Scott L.
Hi Scott, we pride ourselves on recognizing our loyal Crown Anchor Society members business travel insurance around the world.  Offers such as savings certificates and balcony and suite discounts are offered to all members regardless of their country of residence.  Additionally, all members receive exclusive onboard discounts to use during their voyages.  The Australian online newsletter is currently in development and will be coming your way in the future.  Happy cruising!
Hi Adam, I'm wondering how often you change the itineraries for your European cruises. I sailed on both Western and Eastern Mediterranean cruises – are you planning anything new we can look forward to? Thanks. – Rona K.
Hello Rona, our offerings in the Mediterranean are a blend of stable and new programs which vary each year.  For instance, I would suggest that you consider the 10 or 11 night itineraries from Venice offered by Legend of the Seas this fall or the program of 9 and 12 night sailings from Rome offered next fall by Serenade of the Seas , which just opened.  Each program is unique and different from our core 7 night programs.
Hi Susan, Diamonds in December will not be taking place this year, but please know we are always looking for new and exciting ways to engage our members through special events and promotions, so stay tuned for upcoming programs.
With the addition of another ship being built in the Oasis class, Will Royal be moving one of the Oasis class ship to Port Canaveral? If so, When? I m planning a 2015 cruise out of Port Canaveral and would love to sail on an Oasis class ship.
I have been on a few of royals business travel insurance cruises and have loved every minute, but being a musician also I miss playing my guitar when on holidays, have you ever thought of having a jam room with some guitars keyboard etc for the passengers to play .
I just want to let you know that my family and I just returned from an amazing cruise on The Enchantment of the Seas. This is my first cruise (we are platinum on RCCL) since a diagnosis of celiac, which prevents me from eating gluten. I just want to commend the Enchantment crew for their amazing knowledge of gluten intolerance. I was able to order from menus in the dining room, eat in the Windjammer (where a chef came out and showed me everything safe to eat), and enjoy room service with a gluten free experience. In fact, I was brought gluten free bread wherever I ate; the wait staff seemed to know I was gluten free beginning with our first meal. It was wonderful to enjoy my vacation, never get ill, and feel like a normal person. Thank you to everyone business travel insurance on The Enchantment of the Seas. Gluten free is definitely on RC!
Adam any plans to make the Royal Connect service an app that can be purchased business travel insurance on any smartphone? Having to rent a Iphone, for which they always run out of, does not make sense. RCCL would make more money by selling the app, can t run out with this option. RCCL also would have no Iphone business travel insurance maintenance issues either.
Hi Adam, we have just returned from another great cruise on Independence and we have booked again for next year. My question is, are there plans to change the ice shows and shows in the Alhambra Theatre for Summer 2014, as they have not changed since we first cruised on Independence back in 2009. As fantastic as Strings and Freeze Frame are, it would be really great to see some new shows on there to enhance our future vacation.
Hi Adam, We recently sailed out of Baltimore on Enchantment of the Seas and enjoyed nearly every moment. We purchased the Premium beverage package, but upon sailing we learned that Pinot Grigio was not available on the white wines offered. The beverage manager was able to get us approved for schooner bar and a glass or two for dinner, business travel insurance so all was not lost. Compared to many premium liquors that could be consumed at far greater cost, why can t the Pino be available? This would seem to be easily remedied. Thanks.
Adam, my family and I have just returned business travel insurance from a Caribbean cruise on the Oasis. This was our second on this ship and the first for other family members. We originally booked a Junior Suite but were upgraded to a Grand Suite, thank you RC!! With the upgrade came a gold card which enabled us many perks and benefits I never expected. Unfortunately we missed out on many of the benefits and VIP treatment because we were not aware of all the perks. The VIP beach in Haiti would have been great if only we knew about it. My question to you is this: Where can I get a list of the benefits of being a Gold card holder aside from the RC website as it is not complete? I asked so many staff but none could help me, they just kept telling me to ask someone else. Thank you in advance!
