3/2/23 – ROYAL CARIBBEAN will implement a new policy on WINE AND CHAMPAGNE ALLOWANCE starting today. The policy has been that Royal guests are allowed two bottles (of standard 750ml size) of wine or champagne per stateroom when boarding on their first day. The new policy is that each guest of drinking age per stateroom will be allowed one each. This is good news for cruisers who have more than two guests in a stateroom. Royal still advises that the bottle you embark with be stored in your carry-on or hand luggage. Learn more.

3/2/23 – While they may not be one of our partners, Life at Sea Cruises has announced a 3-year, 135-country, 7-continent, 375-port, 130,000-mile cruise, setting sail in November of 2023 on Miray Cruises’ Gemini. The cruise is designed for passengers who are able to work remotely and who don’t get seasick easily. URComped would also like to applaud Miray and the Gemini, which is currently in the Bay of Iskenderun, Turkey, serving as an emergency shelter for those whose lives were affected by the earthquakes in the area last month.
