We did the Mediterranean with Greek Isles August (2018) on the Vision.  Would agree with KenCP on the ship and crew.  The trip and locations were awesome also.  We would definitely do it again.

Just completed a 12 night Venice Mediterranean cruise on Vision of the Seas and it was fantastic.  Could not of picked a better itinerary, and the ship was great too.  It is an older ship, but it has been maintained very well, and the crew is what makes this ship.

We returned this morning from Mariner of the Seas and I submitted the weekend Cruise Compass for posting here.  That will have the show times.  

Have you checked with RC to do their Air/Sea? 
How about using a travel agent to hunt down flights?

You each have your own number. Be sure she is enrolled in the program. 

Hey
I work on these almost daily for the agents.  Once we have the denial email, we can fight to take this over to help watch for discounts for you.  It can take a few days to hear, but happy to help.

It was their original plan, but the intern only typed in the information about the $50 OBC.
 

Once again, pressure in the court of public opinion turned this around to a much better outcome, and honestly I think this new approach of offering a choice is how they should have done it from the get-go.

I know exactly how you feel Jill!
I have the same price for symphony OTS sailing in Jan,2020. It has not dropped lower than $65 in the past 2 1/2 months i've been watchingit.
Hoping for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale if not we have thanksgiving/christmas/new years to fall back on for a sale.
 

Thanks everyone! I booked yesterday with Sharla at MEI for end of October. After the 24 hour cabin hold, the price on the cabin dropped $200! I went with a guaranteed balcony which also was $200 less than picking the cabin. So that $400 in savings about paid for our drink package + VOOM. Added an ultimate dining and we came out at about $1800 for the 3 nights. We plan to “gift” our 6 Diamond drinks each day. That’ll be fun!  
Living 2 hours from Port Canaveral, we need to do this at least once a year. It’s a nice “tweener” cruise until Symphony in May plus we get to scope out CocoCay! 

@Matt is on her right now, along with about 80 of our nearest & dearest friends for a wedding.

I’m going on Mariner in 17 days.  Group of 27 of family and friends... So Excited

Looking forward to trying Mariner next year for Halloween. ?

Enjoy reading about the Mariner.  We're going on her for the first time in February!  
 

I remember seeing them put out the bags on Independence a few years back going across the Bay of Biscay.
It was a very rough crossing and the ship rocked a good bit. For me it was grand, it was late at night and I had (quite) a few drinks in me so was actually able to walk in a straight line :)

The more I thought about it today, the more I can see the point of those that booked 2020 sailings and getting just $50 in lieu of the perks. Yes, $50 is better than nothing, but it would have been a better transition away from this if they just said "okay, everyone that booked as of today gets it and that's it."

I complain every time on the survey they send out after your cruise. 
Last year on Freedom we had a group of 8. None of us wanted to go to the casino because of the smoke. We wanted to, but couldn’t stand it. RCI lost 8 gamblers on that trip. 
Sitting outside the British pub on the Promenade, the smoke comes right up the stairs. 
I really hope they ban it. 

We did Mariner in May and it was a good ship.  It was only a 4 night cruise and wasn't too bad.  We have been on spring break cruises before and 9 night cruises.  Mariner was somewhere in between with its partying.  We aren't partiers and found the crowd just fine and enjoyed our cruise!  We were docked next to Navigator at a port and I would say Navigator looked better on the pool deck.  The water ride looked awesome!!!!
