Let me start off by saying this is my 23rd cruise and 3rd time on this class (2 on Oasis and 1 on Allure). We booked a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise from Costco which came with so many extras such as soda package, $95 onboard credit pp, extras in Labadee and a spa credit. Make sure you check Costco pricing before booking through Royal.
