Parent Portal
Information updates in progress
Kauabunga Royale 2027 Information Hub
A parent-maintained place for cruise deadlines, payment reminders, hotel planning, documents, common questions, and updates.
This site is maintained by a Wolfpack parent to organize information shared by Maximum, Royal Caribbean, and the coaching staff. If official communications differ from this site, official communications take precedence.
Cruise Basics
Start with the big picture.
The goal of this hub is to make the cruise competition easier to understand without replacing official updates. Information will be labeled as official, awaiting confirmation, or parent tip.
Ship
Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas
Destination
Nassau, Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay
Competition
Baha Mar Resort is listed in the packet.
Payments & Cabin Pricing
Known from packet: cabin rate reference.
The official packet includes a Royal Caribbean stateroom cost chart. The packet-listed rates are shown below so parents do not have to keep hunting through the PDF. What is still pending is exactly how Maximum wants families to interpret the rates and what additional fees may apply.
Known from packet:
The packet lists cabin costs by stateroom type and occupancy.
Still awaiting confirmation:
whether parents should read these as per-cabin totals or per-person costs, and whether taxes, port fees, gratuities, athlete fees, or spectator tickets are included.
Payment Timeline
Cabin Rates Listed in the Packet
These are the dollar amounts shown in the packet's stateroom cost chart. Treat them as planning information until Maximum confirms the pricing interpretation.
| Stateroom Type | Max | Double | Triple | Quad | 5 Occ. | 6 Occ. |
|---|
Five-person cabin recommendation:
Families needing a five-person cabin should plan early because those rooms may be limited.
Hotel Planning
Arriving early may reduce stress.
Airfare is up to each family, but hotel planning is directly connected to the cruise experience. This hub can help parents know what to look for before booking.
Night before the cruise
Many families may choose to arrive the day before sailing to reduce the risk of travel delays.
After the cruise
Some families may fly home the same day. Others may need one additional hotel night depending on flight times.
Shuttle questions
Always confirm whether a hotel shuttle goes to Port Everglades, whether it costs extra, and whether reservations are required.
Hotel checklist
- Close to Port Everglades
- Airport shuttle, if flying
- Cruise port shuttle, if offered
- Free breakfast, if available
- Parking options, if driving
- Family-friendly rooms
- Flexible cancellation policy
Parent Tip: Hotel amenities and shuttle policies change often. Always call the hotel directly before booking.

Coming Soon
🐺 Bruce — Wolfpack Cruise Guide
Bruce will eventually answer questions from approved sources only: the official packet, confirmed Maximum replies, Coach Gabe updates, and this Parent Hub.
The goal is simple: Bruce should say “I don’t know yet” before giving an unconfirmed answer.
Are spectator tickets included?
That is currently awaiting confirmation from Maximum.
Should I book a hotel the night before?
Parent tip: many families may choose to arrive early to reduce travel stress.
