we are going on the independence of the sea in sept this year, this is our first time cruising, could any one tell us what the male dress code is in the evenings, we know there are formal nights, but my husband would like to know what the dress code is for less formal nights, he likes to chill out and wear 3/4 linen pants with a nice top or jeans and a shirt and nice flip flops on his feet is this kind of clothing acceptable if we were just going to go to the pub and grill.
Answer :
been on two royal carribean cruises.
if you go to the dining room,clean casual clothing is acceptable,
flip flops - no. shorts - no.
even for the pubs and grills i would not recommend flip-flops
and shorts, as normally one does not stay all evening in one place,
but goes to other places like a bar, a show, the casino, too.
of course you will find people who do not care about their clothing
at all, as well as those, who dress up in evening gowns every evening.
to be on the safe side - try to stay in the middle.
as for ball gowns and tails for formal evenings - you can also rent
those on board.
Answer :
Always at night have a collar and shoes, other then that he will be fine. Have a great time. We have done it and your gonna love it. God bless.

Answer :
Yes, the Freedom Class is the largest. It includes the Freedom, Liberty and Independence of the Seas.
My understanding is that the Independence sails its maiden voyage next month sometime, not sure of the exact date, but I'm sure the RC website has the date!
I just cruised on the Liberty of the Seas in March to the western caribbean for 7 nights and it was outstanding!!! So much to do and see and the service was incredible all the way around!!!
Answer :
Freedom class ships are the largest for now. Royal Caribbean is coming out with the new Genesis, which will be over 200,000 tons and carry 5400 passengers!!!
May 2 is the maiden voyage, which is ahead of schedule.
Answer :
YES FREEDOM OF THE SEAS IS THE LARGEST SHIP RIGHT NOW. BUT LARGEST DOESN'T NECESSARY MEAN BETTER.

Answer :
Actually, the largest cruise ship is the Freedom of the Seas. Anyways, the teen clubs on the boats are pretty fun, and it depends on how old you are. It also depends on your personality, most of the events requires you to be the type of person that's willing to go up to anyone and just start a conversation, you know, the REALLY BIG social type.

Cruise questions - sorry, kind of long?
I have a cruise on-hold right now with Royal Carribean and wanted to know what any avid cruisers out there thought of it before I pay for it, since I have never cruised before.
The cruise is in March, 2009 on the Independence of the Seas. It is a 6 night Western Carribean cruise starting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. and stopping in Belize City, Conzumel Mexico, and Costa Maya Mexico. I set up a deluxe ocean view room with balcony on deck six. Would this be bad for sea sickness prone people? I know I get that kind of light headed/gonna throw up feeling when I fly....so figure a cruise might even be worse.
So, what do you think?
What land excursions whould we do?
Should I pre-pay gratuities? Does that cover all gratuities...or do you still tip some people?
Or, should I scrap the whole thing and just fly to Mexico?
Thanks so much!
Answer :
Well....this all depends on what you want. One reason I enjoyed crusing the Carribean was that it was the first vacation I ever took, and I had no idea about the different islands and what they held. Also, cruising is great in that you only need to pack and unpack the one time and your meals are included.
First, I prefer crusing the Southern Caribbean itineraries for one simple reason: you get more stops. Eastern or Western itineraries usually only make about three stops per seven days, and have several "at sea" days. If you enjoy lounging around and relaxing, you'll like at sea days. If you prefer to be busy and active, you may want to look into a cruise with more stops.
Second, the balcony rooms are often not worth the money. The balconies don't have much room, and if you are prone to sea sickness, you can feel more motion on the balcony (granted, it's not much motion, but that could just be my opinion because I don't get sea sick). If you get a nice, ocean view room, I'd leave out the balcony, myself. I prefer ocean view rooms; I feel like why cruise if you're not going to see the ocean?
Of your three stops, the only one I've done is Belize. I did to an excursion on Belize, and it was snorkeling. I usually do one excursion per cruise. It can get pretty costly, otherwise. Royal Carribean's ships have a library, and you can check out a book on your destinations, and make your own plans. Also, the crew will provide recommendations; like if one place tends to overcharge tourists, they'll tell you and that can help you make your decision.
I prefer doing my own gratuities. If you like someone, you'd like him or her to get more than the prescribed minimum. You should give the minimum regardless; that's how the non salaried workers make the bulk of their money. If the service was sucky, make sure to note it in the comment card. They give everybody one to fill out.
I hope that answer wasn't too long! Can you tell I've cruised with Royal Carribean a time or two? :)
