If you cant get the package any cheaper, its a better value with the Voom for $59. This close to the sail date it likely won't get any cheaper though so depends if $4/day is worth it to have internet.

Even at $55 I think it's a good value. It comes with free bottled water which is a huge plus and breaks down to like 6 drinks a day.

Even on port days if you have a drink when you get back on the boat, two glasses of win with dinner and a glass of wine or another drink that night after the show you're close to breaking even if you grab a specialty coffee heading off the ship and a few bottles of water throughout the day.

From a convenience standpoint it's awesome..try new things, dont care if you spill your drink, etc.

Also, the included drinks with the package are included at Labadee in Haiti which is a very nice bonus.

While I know you aren't allowed to give non drink pass people free drinks, is this a strict policy and how do they enforce it?

If you're caught theyyll revoke your privelages and won't refund the money. So, for someone who may want a drink or two a day it can likely be done but I wouldn't plan on it for two people drinking all day.

How do you communicate with other family members spread across a huge ship?

Royal has an app that will allow you to text using the ships wi-fi (even if you don't have the wifi package) between your friends and family.

And any other advice.

Don't feel you NEED to go to the main dining room each night. Sometimes it's just as nice to hang by the pool as long as possible. Definitely try the flowrider and the lines will be smaller when everyone else is at dinner. I'd suggest at least one specialty restaurant as well. If you want to see the ice skating show, make sure you guys check which night it is available to you. Not everyone can go every time it is offered so if you don't want to miss it make sure you know when you can go.
