Thanks @Pattycruise. I have them booked and the prices were very fair for two vehicles and 9 people. Should be perfect for us! Appreciate you taking time out to respond

I got afraid that royal would see what I'm doing so I stopped and my screen looked nothing like what I was seeing in the examples ! I guess its wait it out for another 28 days!

How far do you make it? Tonight maybe I can add some extra screenshots

Hello, My husband and I recently sailed on celebrity (April 6-10) mainly due to the points choice program to apply Captain's Club points to C&A. We submitted out points choice request, ahead of time, at least a month early. Never received any sort of confirmation, but ok. Cruise came and went, we definitely enjoyed it and would plan to sail Celebrity again...but... About a week later, points were awarded to my Celebrity Captain's Club. I did the points choice request again just in case the first time didn't go through, since I had no confirmation. I waited a week, called C&A - they told me it was in process and would take 30 days, again ok. Now 4 weeks after disembarkation, still no point transfer, so I called C& A again today. He told me : 1. The request has to come in within 2 weeks before or two weeks after. The two weeks after is expected, but two weeks before is new. All websites say "anytime before your cruise". 2. He said the program is only going until August. WHAT!1? He said that's what they know, as of now points choice is only in effect through august. If this is true what a bait and switch. He did confirm mine and my husbands requests were in process but we are "only at 28 days" so I'll wait two more days and should see it. I was surprised about this information.

Congrats to all of you on this sailing. What a wonderful itinerary. I know you enjoyed it but I'm also sure you're glad to be back in the good ol' USofA. Welcome home

OMG, garnish leafs even on the short ribs!!! I get that. I can deal with a good amount of spice but I like to taste the actual food and not be in pain afterwards. While we don't care about the actual cabin much, a location that works for one's routine is definitely a huge plus. New cruisers seem to think there are universal good and bad locations (not their fault) and I couldn't disagree more. Low decks may be great if you frequent the casino, eat in the MDR every night, are prone to motion sickness, etc. but that's the one place I would never want to be. We spend much more time on higher decks. Ugh, that had to be rough. We had a promenade view once and only once and I don't know if our cabin was right by a speaker or something b/c I know others enjoy those cabins and haven't had noise issues but we felt like we were in the middle of the nightly promenade parties.

JACK !!!!

Ahhhh....the old shade wars. We have them all the time in the specialties. Since I am 90% vampire, I canNOT tolerate any sun in my eyes. I will prevail upon the server to put down the shades (or take care of it myself to Dan's audible chagrin) to whatever extent is possible (total darkness is my end goal) but not everyone likes it. (). I get some piercing glares but as most of you who know me, know, I don't give a flyin' *#!@.

Welcome to the message boards. Some taxis and nearly any private car won't take a kid without a car seat and very, very few carry them. Unfortunately, we brought our own car seat from home. We carried it in a backpack carrier like this one and it was the best we could do. Once our kids got a little older, the inflatable car seats worked quite well.

And with that, it’s a wrap! Overnight in Seattle flying back on Saturday!

Yes, 75 points this sailing. Glad I booked a quick 3 nighter on Wonder in February or I would have gotten 2 on this sailing!

From a different article

we seem to have been inflicted with a bunch of speakerphone people. please kindly keep them over on your vessel, thanks!!!! AMEN. come on over, the water’s fine!!!!

The passenger behavior seems be worsening and it seems to be enabled by Royal not enforcing their rules in order to "please everyone" whether it's babies in diapers in the pools and hot tubs, kids using the schooner bar as a trampoline park, etc, etc. Today is a sea day and MJ brunch at 11:45. Until then, a Jack vacation photo:

Interesting situation. I have experienced the exact opposite but never the experience you describe, @Vince M. VERY often, the offer that I receive in my online CR account after I get home is actually HIGHER than the offer they give me on the ship (the paper copy) b/c I have often gambled after they "scored" my offer onboard or I lost significant $$ () or both. I have never, however, had them DOWNGRADE my offer from the paper offer that they gave me onboard.

More than a few times this week when these events occur at dinner, I find myself saying to Christine "I have one word for you: Luminae"

So agree about the insurance. Any kind of insurance is a total waste of money....until it isn't.

I always get insurance because you just never know what can happen. You don't know the true value of insurance until you need it! Thanks for sharing your story. I find it comforting to know how much the ship's doctor helped you. Prayers for a speedy recovery!

I'm horrified about your dinner last night. Social graces and awareness appear to be dead and buried on your cruise. When I'm president of Royal Caribbean International, those parents and the idiot on speakerphone are all walking the plank.

i will mention this again but our cabin is beautifully located. we appreciate the convenience and central location as well as our excellent cabin attendant as he has a row of suites and then our rogue aqua class cabin. we are the only standard cabin in his care; our neighbors have a different cabin attendant entirely. i say this as our cabin is great. except. e x c e p t. last night was the shine the night party on the pool deck. and the noise bled directly into our cabin until about 11:30. you can imagine how that worked out for J and i

dinner! (for reference, that man’s shirt was open far lower than the neckline of my dress ) the menu was a time. let the record reflect that i have gotten this baked brie before and didn’t like it. i forgot, ordered it again, and had to prevail upon J to eat it. (she did ) she also got the appie portion of the maine lobster salad and warned me that the spice was SPICING. we both got the watercress salad; the dressing was more like a jam but still bright with flavor due to the cranberry base. very nice departure from standard leafs. J got the short ribs and said they were excellent i got the maine as my main and can confirm it was S P I C Y. there was: - spicy mayo - chili oil - chili powder - red pepper flakes i can tolerate a decent amount of spice but this was a bit much, even for me. now i am not one to leave a man behind (especially as it pertains to pasta things) so i finished mine off but when i tell you my LIPS were burning… i am not kidding. something was also happening with the shades in blu because they kept all going up and down for a good 10 minutes. our neighbors at dinner were at the window and we were three tables away; i locked eyes with the wife and went, “what the heck are you doing over there?!!!”

I used our OBC toward excursions. I will take cash for my Casino-Money too so that I don't have the fee (not Prime yet).

First question is does your inbox offer match the offer sheet? I have seen it where people thought they qualified for A05 but really had A06. Currently looking at that list, it is about 75% offers for 1 guest and the other 25% for 2. I have yet to hear with the new layout, of bait and switch.

Can’t thank you enough for sharing. I’m one who don’t red long post, think I’m too young to get insurance, but after reading your story, I’m getting the coverage I need. I have booked 7 cruises and no insurance. I’m going to get the annual insurance soon as I place the period at the end of my last sentence. Glad it worked out in your favor and thanks again for sharing.
