Absolutely! Plenty of people walk from the parking lots nearby with all their stuff, so you would just be coming from a little further. Watch for traffic, and stay on the sidewalks, and you should be fine. Great idea!

Wow, thanks! Very kind words, I'm working on more and have big plans for 2025!

The money savings is a huge benefit, and with the area near the window, it's a lot of space!

Great question! They do not, everything out in the water is free to use!

Not that I recall! There are wild iguanas, so I can't guarantee you won't see them, but I don't believe there were any that were specifically part of the tour.

I don't think they've ever had toucans. @0:26 you can see all the birds they claim to have.

Thanks! Please share it with your community whenever it makes sense!

Not sure which part you're referring to, but I don't think kids should be given a free pass for doing absolutely anything just because it's a family friendly line. I try not to judge anyone too hard, even for being a little annoying, I was probably just making a joke in the video.

Thank you!

They all have their pros and cons!

It’s all about choices

It felt surprisingly large with all the extra floor space, have fun on your cruise! We'd love to hear your thoughts after you spend some time in the room!

A little over 6 miles, about a 10-15 minute taxi ride. It would be a long way to walk.

It depends on the sailing, most of the time these rooms are pretty smooth, since they're toward the middle of the ship.

They tend to not let you start going through security until your time, but 20 minutes may be close enough. The lounge is only really used for the first time slot or two, while they are getting the ship ready. After that, you just get on the ship right after you go through security.

Cool! We just got back from a cruise a few days ago, and all of these are still true! It was a different roving piano player though, and the casts of the shows are mostly different, but still amazing!

Thank you! Just be careful with the golf balls not to lose them or leave them behind. The magnetic shelves are so useful, and the taller sides mean that you don't have to worry about things falling off the shelf nearly as much! Plus they work anywhere in the cabin!

I have a travel agent that handles my bookings, so when I saw it was available on the website, and told them I wanted the room.

Nope, not at all! The hallways are long enough, and Central Park is generally pretty quiet. Plus there are doors at both ends that block noise and weather too.

@@CruisingSecrets thanks for the quick response!

You bet!

So glad you like it. I found it helpful, especially the first few days, these ships are huge!

Sometimes I just wish I could keep going, especially if I don't have anything fun going on at home for a while!

Thanks! I really like this terminal, but it can look overwhelming from the outside, so I was happy to share all the information I could to make it less intimidating!

About 7 of them (depending on what you count as a restaurant). It sounds like a lot, but there are more than 7 that are free (although the Main Dining Room is the only one with sit down service). A good reference is to use our ship guidebooks, available for free at www.cruisingsecrets.com/guides

Happy to help! Be sure to submit requests for more guidebooks, I'm working on another one right now, but am happy to make up more as people need them!

Thank you!

I'm sure they have their reasons. I would hope that anyone bringing their own would be careful with them, and not leave them behind for someone else to misuse.

This footage was all shot with either Allure of the Seas or Harmony of the Seas. Both are Oasis-class ships, so they look pretty similar. Right now Harmony of the Seas is the "big ship" sailing out of Galveston from Royal Caribbean. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for the review, it's definitely something people should watch out for!

Yeah, we've heard horror stories about them, but it was great for us! The view may not be as good from deck 7, but it's still unique on the ship!

I try to avoid too much fluff in my videos, we all have limited time!

South isn't much cheaper, right now it looks like it's $22/day, whereas North is $25/day. There are parking lots nearby that are probably cheaper, just not as convenient. Some hotels even offer to let you leave your car for free if you stay there the night before your cruise.

Great question! Yes, there are usually plenty of seats for people who walk up, the line can start forming up to an hour before the show starts. There is one line for people with reservations, and a line for "standby" people. About 15 minutes before the show starts, they will let the standby line in, so you can still get pretty good seats if you're willing to line up early. The line for people with reservations is allowed in about 30 minutes before the show, so either way you probably want to get there 45-60 minutes early if you want to be able to get your choice of seats.

We always recommend luggage tag holders with metal cables that hold them to the luggage! You can find our whole list of packing recommendations here, including links to the luggage tag holders we like! www.cruisingsecrets.com/packing-tips

Sorry to hear that, we don't have any relationship tip videos, but that's not a bad idea! I hope your next cruise is even better!

Do tell more!

So sad. Glad you had fun regardless

Did you meet her on the voyager? I’m seeing this comment alot 😭😭😭

We need the back story!

Have fun! Be sure to check out my other video with lots of general tips: ruclips.net/video/hBfmdKcKDoc/видео.html

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

I certainly recommend being responsible with them, and don't leave them behind!

Yes, it does! There was signage, I just didn't show it. I'll try to grab some footage of it next time!

@@CruisingSecrets awesome! Thank you! I'm cruising with The Key for the first time in February 2025 and I'm trying to prepare myself mentally, LOL!

@@nd5713 Sounds great! Be sure to subscribe so that you can get more tips between now and then! I've got more videos in the queue for excursions and activities in ports that are often visited from Galveston!

@@CruisingSecrets I did subscribe - thank you! :-)

I bet you'll love it!

That would certainly explain it! I'm sure many have gone overboard over the years. Hopefully they didn't get caught in a blowhole.

@@CruisingSecrets The sea was angry that day my friends

@@mmorlino Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

Thank you! You're in the first 150 subscribers, which will be a high honor someday I'm sure! 😁

Great tip! It had a long line the morning I went, so it wasn't TOO much of a secret, but still a good one to share! I thought there was some limitation to the free breakfast menu, but I don't remember exactly what. Still worth visiting, the breakfast sandwich I got was good! Thanks for sharing your secret!

I'm jealous! Thanks for watching, I hope the tips are helpful!

@@CruisingSecrets indeed they was

Thank YOU for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!

Thanks for subscribing! We will have more videos like this about other ships in the next few months.

I know I got some in the morning one time at Park Cafe, it was pineapple in a plastic cup. It was on the side next to the drinks if I recall correctly.

It's not every night, I found it in the evening one time, not sure how often they do it!

I was wondering about that too. Never saw the ice cream bar either.

All of our uncommon packing items can be found at: www.cruisingsecrets.com/packing-tips I've added it to the description too, I realized I forgot to do that when I published the video, thanks for pointing it out!
