Thanks.. yes we complied ..just shifted the dining plan.. 2 bought 1st night, other 2 got the bogo, tonight the other 2 will reciprocate and everyone on their own third night. thanks again

Clarification requested.. i have used this perk many times in the past and i am currently on Allure.. our dining plan ( party of 4 all D+) was 1st night chops, 2nd night do as you please and 3rd night Giovanis. planned on eating very one purchasing their 1st night at chops then use their Bogo to get Giovanni’s compd on the 3rd night. Waiter informs us that both legs of the bogo need to be complete by the 2nd night, is this true? I thought the rules were you just had to complete the purchase part of the bogo by the 2nd night. Any experience with this?

Is there a way to apply the Diamond plus 150% single cruiser discount while booking an online reservation? Or is a phone call required? i have attempted to ghost book the reservation and it always applies the full double occupancy room rates.

She did combine them....she just only allowed the trade-in value for the interior ($400) and not the value of the interior cabin ($900-$1000) to be applied to the Grand Suite upgrade. More money out of pocket for me. I could have just booked her in the interior as a solo and had her stay with me in the Grand Suite. Would have cost me $400 more but would have cost RCCL $1000 in lost revenue. This is where their policy makes no sense. APM

Sadly, we lost the Champagne Bar venue to accommodate most of these bionic bars.champagne bars had some of the most talented mixologists onboard. Don’t strive to be Carnival!

Has the policy changed again? Called to book a stateroom combining 2 winnings wonderland 23 HOLxxx series offer codes. One for a JS and another for an interior. in an effort to upgrade to a GS, RCCL used to always apply to hr value of the room not being used to cover the upgrade fees. I was told that only the trade in value of the 2nd offer ($400) would be applied. Is this a change? A dual occupancy JS and a dual occupancy interior would normally cover a GS. In advance, thanks.

My original query was for the Suite Lounge...was asked every night if I wanted to use my Diamond Plus Vouchers which I had surplus of so it was not an issue but I remember it being contradictory to stated policy "the Suite Lounge serves complimentary continental breakfast and evening drinks."

Please refresh my memory, do suite lounge happy hour cocktails count against your Diamond/Diamond + allotment of 4/5 drinks?

Some of the worst cruise behavior I have ever experienced. For example, watching on the outdoor big screen from the Viikng Crown Lounge, no audio but still a great view and snacks too. Others had the same great idea but they took the cushions off the chairs to make their chairs extra cushion-y. So you had to watch , sitting in a chair that was designed to have cushions, but didnt, and just sit on the frame.

I have a compd cabin, my sons have a compd cabin....trying to move them one week to the right. As I stated in original post, I am fully aware that the shift may be denied because the comp is not available on the new date (for both cabins). Since I was going to be onboard next week, the purpose of my post was to see if anyone thought NEXT CRUISE would be able to assist. I was hoping to avoid calling the call center because my experience has been since they got rid of the PACNORWEST call center, the overseas call centers can barely handle the routine calls let alone this simple scenario that is just not routine for them. I will contact my RCCL casino host and see if he can assist before I get onboard this weekend.

Thanks....thats what I read, but I was hoping that wasn't accurate in application.

Sorry for another very specific scenario question. I am cruising next week. I also have a weekend cruise that is planned for mid October. That trip is in jeopardy due to some work requirements. It is a casino comp cruise (2 cabins) that I booked onboard with NExt Cruise last December. Question is: can NExt Cruise help me pick up those 2 cabins and slide them 1 week to OCT 20-23 or do they just deal in new bookings? I am aware that there is a chance for denial because that cruise isn't eligible for cruise comp (low risk) and that I will likely have to pay a $100/passenger ($400 total) to shift the cruise. Thanks

Normally do a 7 day cruise and purchase either the 3 day or unlimited dining package. Doing a 3 day Independence of the Seas in Oct. My plan is to purchase the CHOPS plus 1 package for all 4 of us. Is the Diamond Plus Specialty Dinner BOGO still available on three day cruises? This would allow a First night Buy 2 get 2 free, then use the CHOPS plus 1 for the the next two nights for all 4 of us. Thanks

You can no longer combine offers to reach a stateroom class above grand suite….but you can pay for the upgrade

Thank you, that’s what i believed the rule to be. March 31 is the best date for me anf fairly certain he could pick up all 400 needed points in one night, but 3 days would be much less hectic.

I apologize in advance because i know this has been asked before. My youngest son is 350 tier credits shy of earning prime. If i book a 3 night March 31st cruise, does his play from all three days go to this earning year, or just the play from March 31st?

Lost in all the discussion is my original question/dilemma….Next cruise won’t allow combining of two similar certificates.. my JS and Spouse Balcony to upgrade to a GS. Has anyone found a way around this.? seems my options are.. 1) just book the JS and get the feeeplay or 2) book via the call center, combine the offers and lose the freeplay offers doesn’t seem right

I have never used the NEXT Cruise option and have probably thrown away some freeplay, but I explored using it after the Masters Cruise on Wonder of the Seas in November. Normally, I can combine my spouse and my certificates when I call in, NEXT Cruise says they dont offer the combination option. Has anyone come across this scenario? I have a JS w Freeplay and she has an balcony, most likely combinable to a GS, but would hate to throw away the freeplay if I book via the call center. Thanks APM

Last World Cup they showed them in the bars, in state room channels and even on the big screens in the aquatheater....my kids had the last boardwalk balcony room and it was a great bonus . 1000 EST kickoff for the WC Final is a real planning problem for me.....not sure I can get from the hotel to the port and complete embark all during halftime.

The real issue is there is no one to inform to have the rules enforced. ITs nto the bar staffs job, its not he towel station guys job....and it definitely shouldnt be another guests job. Guests regulating guests is a recipe for disaster

Odyssey of the Seas televisions had this feature.

I also left an item on board once (Ipad mini). Process was fairly simple with the two week delay. Only issue was I had to provided Credit Card information to pay for shipping charges and I had two non-authorized charges on that card immediately afterward. Easy enough to fix, but it was annoying.

Did I read somewhere that Annual Tier Comp cruises cannot be booked on new ships (less than a year in service)? I would like to book Wonder of the Seas for this winter (2022).

Then don’t read the posts about Covid and masks. But for you.. the food is average, but since you’re on a cruise everyone thinks it’s superb.

It was ridiculous.. it was a government reduced form with results that was signed by the nurse. The fact she signed it made it a “hand written note” in the gentleman’s opinion. There was no common sense to be applied. i have since been refunded my money (test x 3) after elevating to Michael Baiiley office.
