Stealing a magnet for the grandkids?  What a terrible excuse for a human.  
I stopped bringing magnets because of magnet thieves.  Still bothers me that people think they can just take other people's hard earned things, even something as small a magnet on a door on a cruise ship.  To think she was going to present it to her grandkids so they would look up to her and think what a wonderful person she was for thinking of them while in reality she was nothing but a common thief.  Hopefully she is banned from Royal.  No room for criminals on board.

Ummm.  The Royal CEO makes a lot of statements that never come to fruition.  
How's that free Voom working out on Enchantment that he promised back in the day?
A Royal CEO once stated publicly that D+ will never been banned from the Concierge Lounge.  Oh wait...
That's not to say an Icon class ship won't come to Galveston, but it won't be because Bayley slipped it out.  
In fact I think sometimes Bayley likes to "slip" on purpose and then the rumor mills go into overdrive.  

Single cabins designed for one person have the name "Studio" in them.   In current times they don't have a single supplement component because they are by default a single person cabin.  You do not pay a single supplement for a studio cabin.  Therefore they don't qualify for an extra point per night for solo cruisers.
Cabins that are designed to hold two or more guests when booked by a solo cruiser will have a single supplement component to the pricing.  It is this single supplement component in the cruise fare that triggers the extra point per night for a solo cruiser.
When two guests book a cabin there is no single supplement fare component.  If one guest does a no-show there is no extra point in this no-show scenario because the original booking never had a single supplement component.   This is how they track who is "booked" as a solo cruiser and who ended up a solo cruiser from a booking that was originally for two or more guests.
When a solo cruiser books a cabin that can hold two or more guests the original booking invoice does have a single supplement component to the fare and that will qualify the cabin for the extra point per night for a solo cruiser.  
A recent interpretation expressed by a Royal agent stated if a cruise was originally booked for two guests but then one guest was removed from the booking and the booking became a solo booking, as long as that change was made > 30 days from sail date then the booking will qualify for an extra point per night.  If the guest is removed < 30 days before sail date then the remaining solo cruiser would not qualify for an extra point per night.  This is one agent making a statement and not a documented policy that can be found in writing anywhere.

I don't cruise very much anymore, just five or six per year, but when I was a frequent cruiser every cruise I booked had a TA involved with it.

Crew favorite stop.  Walk to Walmart?  Perfect for them.  

It can happen, I got a GS once on a suite GTY but it's usually JS and sometimes an accessible JS which I don't prefer myself.

That's the automated bot I created.

Anybody notice the random one date for Star…possible test on Royal’s end? 

You need to manually set the time on the phone and the Apple Watch connected to it will follow.  
Settings, General, Date & Time, disable "Set Automatically" then manually pick the departure port time zone and the time.

The open bookings are an actual cruise booking with a reservation number.  In the Royal system the ship assigned to an open booking is "Nextcruise" with a sail date many years in the future until you have it updated to the ship and sail date you really want.  
A hold you place on the Royal website is also an actual cruise booking but in an "offered" state.  It will have it's own booking number.
No one can take a hold and merge it with an open booking.  What you can do is to coordinate dropping the hold to free up your cabin selections at a time when your TA can work on the open bookings and change it to the ship and sail date (and cabin) that you had held.

There is a small risk when you cancel your hold that someone could find that cabin and secure it before your TA is able to select it on the open booking.  Making the changes at an off time during the evening or very early morning helps your cause.  Sometimes the system takes up to 15 minutes to free up a cabin so there can be some nervous wait time when attempting a move of this nature.
