Though I will say, I don't see how much value one would get out of it on a ship like Grandeur.

No I don't think so either, and again we are in a Suite, I just thought it was crazy, I kept clicking on the email thinking something was wrong and was directed right to Voom packages! LOL

It's odd, I see the Key up for sale on my Thanksgiving cruise on Grandeur.

I also see it for our New England/Canada cruise, I just think it's coming later, but I think it was hysterical seeing it!

So it's getting down to 21 days now that we depart on the Grandeur. As others have posted in another discussion, Grandeur does not have the "Key".  Lo and behold,  myself and my husband gets this fabulous email about the "Key" and to book now! Well, I just had to take a peek for curiosity sake didn't I?  Takes me directly to the Voom and Stream packages, Drink packages, etc. The email actually says Grandeur, Feb 14!  THE KEY IS NOT OFFERED YOU IDIOTS!  I digress, I am blessed to be in an Owners Suite, so not sure the "Key" would give me any extra benefit, but SERIOUSLY??? Rant is over now, go back to your business. Thank you!

I think Freedom looks so pretty, can't wait to see more!

Once you're in a full suite, there are no real advantages

HOnestly that's the way I look at it especially for Grandeur.  Different story if on Oasis and go from something like Junior Suite and bit above it to get CK etc.

Depends...is that an invitation? 

Sure come aboard!! LOL!!!

I got the infamous email today.  OUr sailing is Feb 14th on Grandeur.  Now, let me ask, we are currently in an Owners Suite.  There is only one more place to go after that on Grandeur and it's the Royal Suite.  Do we really need 1110 square feet for two or us and to spend another $1300 (starting bid at $650 pp) and I'm sure there will be someone with a larger family that would take that. So I think we will stick with what we have!

But not with me!!

I sit on hold quite a bit and utilize that time to go on this Blog or start searching for another cruise to squeeze in! LOL

This is a certain recipe for disaster for me. 

That's what I was fearful of Raye!  I think I will remember.  the ONLY reason I want to stay in touch is with my dog sitter! LOL. Need to make sure the fur kids are ok!

HI All, we are leaving shortly on a South East cruise.  Never cruised to US ports before.  pinging @twangster or anyone who recently has done it ( I know Twangster was just in Miami).  So you keep your phone in airplane mode, or switch it when you get to Charleston/Canaveral/Miami, and go back and forth? Not really sure how this would work. Not really a tech geek! LOL. thank you!!

If I purchase my air travel through Air2Sea (Royal) or Flights by Celebrity, does that qualify for double points?

Yes, double points.  Anything RC Corp will give you double points. I would use Flights by Celebrity for sure! Even a Refreshment package will give it to you.  I am so excited for you!!

Thanks

Wish it was CocoCay instead, they managed to change our itinerary, but from the looks, Freeport seems to have improved greatly!

Hey If Any One Is Going To Freeport In The Next Month You Can Go Take  Photos Of The Navigator OTS. 

I'll be there in February, when is Navigator supposed to be there?

Did the application by phone. Asked if I'd be able to get the card number and other info once the application was complete due to timeline, they said they would expedite mailing of the card so it was delivered by Thursday. BUT... I found out at the end that while I might have the card, I may not necessary have everything approved and credit limit set up by that point. Doubtful that'll be a real issue, but who knows... with all the questions I was asking about approval times and getting the card info, they may have immediately flagged it as a potential identity theft! 

 

I think you'll be fine Joe.  That is awesome!!  and remember too, anything you use that card for (i.e Anthem of the Seas cruise), you get double points for RC or Celebrity or Azarmara.  Even if it's Voom or Drink Package, shore excursions etc.. It adds up fast, especially when final payment rolls around.  So happy for you!!
