Denied for covid-like but NOT covid symptoms?
Psycho and Barb replied to Cruiser4321's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Psycho has allergies and is treated for them from his doctor...He always worries about being denied. -
The price has increased after Covid. We had paid in the past in the 40 to 50 range…A few cruises lower then that. You got an a great deal and have fun on your first cruise

Cruise Questions. Big or small?
Psycho and Barb replied to hanumanx's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As for us…The longer the better. However, the ships not as important as the destination. -
With the crazy price of the booze package now...It's going to have to drop a lot before we purchase it again. With our 5 free drinks a day, it's not worth is at its current prices.
-
Unless your significant other also has the package…Then you can present both cards and get two drinks. We have been able to get a drink and a bottle of water at the same time using one card.

We have taken a gallon zip lock bag with us and added ice to it from our room ice...Put in the frig and made a big difference in the Frig temp.

Here is a copy of what we received. http://www.creative.rccl.com/e-lite/RCI/2016/Executive_Requests/16052976_Cruise_Advisory_Email/images/logo_hero.png ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS Dear Guest, The International Maritime Organization recently shared new speed regulations we must adhere to and as a result, we’ve repositioned some of our ships for our upcoming 2023/2024 season. Our original plan for Voyager of the Seas was to offer sailings departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida through November 4th, 2023, and Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida beginning November 10th, 2023. Instead, Voyager will now sail from Galveston, Texas beginning May 9th, 2023. Adventure of the Seas will now take Voyager’s place in Florida and will offer similar itineraries! Starting July 28th, 2022, we’ll automatically move you to the new Adventure of the Seas sailing departing on the same day as your original Voyager of the Seas cruise. You’ll receive like-for-like accommodations onboard Adventure of the Seas, and your amenities will remain the same. Your vacation is important to us. While we’re confident you’ll have an amazing time onboard Adventure and enjoy many of the same features as Voyager, we still want you to have the flexibility to make the best decision for you and those in your party. Below, we’ve outlined your options along with a few additional details. Option 1: Stay onboard the new Adventure of the Seascruise. We’ll automatically move you to the Adventure of the Seas sailing departing on the same day as your original cruise. So, there’s nothing for you to do! Your new sailing will still offer the same beautiful ports of call as your original cruise, and it’ll depart from the same destination. We’ll move you to a like-for-like stateroom and your original stateroom category price will either be protected at your original cruise fare rate or reduced to the current cruise fare rate (whichever is lower). This excludes taxes, fees, gratuities, and other non-cruise fare items. If your booking was already paid in full and your cruise fare rate decreases, we’ll provide you with a refund for the difference. You can expect to receive your refund to your original form of payment within 14 business days after we move you. Kindly note, refund times may vary depending on your financial institution. Option 2: Re-book any other Royal Caribbean International sailing. If you prefer to re-book another sailing, we’ll waive any non-refundable deposit change fees. Please know, you’ll be responsible for any difference in pricing for your cruise fare, taxes, fees, gratuities, and other non-cruise fare items. If your booking was already paid in full and your cruise fare rate decreases, we’ll provide you with a refund for the difference. You can expect to receive your refund to your original form of payment within 14 business days after we move you. Kindly note, refund times may vary depending on your financial institution. Option 3: If you can’t find a new itinerary that works for you and choose to cancel, we’ll be sad to see you go. You’ll receive: A full refund of any paid portion of your cruise fare (including non-refundable deposits) and any pre-paid amenities to the original form of payment within 14 business days – some international banking and financial institutions may have a processing time of approximately 30 business days. If you used a Future Cruise Credit on this sailing, and you request a refund instead, we’ll refund any NEW funds paid above the certificate amount, and we’ll reinstate your original certificate. If you booked your airfare through Royal Caribbean International, it will be automatically refunded to you. However, if you booked on your own, please contact the service provider directly for your options with them. Please know, if you choose this option, we will not provide additional compensation. Please note, any Cruise Planner purchases for your originalVoyager of the Seas sailing will automatically be cancelled and refunded to your original form of payment. Feel free to re-book these items on your new ship and sail date. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to shifting an entire season of sailings and rebooking all guests, so we ask for your patience as we work to make this process as easy as possible for you. All moves will be completed by August 18th, 2022, and we’ll send an updated reservation confirmation with your revised details to the email address on file as soon as your reservation has been completely updated with the pricing fully adjusted. If you decide to go with Option 2 or 3, please call us at 888-281-9344 or contact your Travel Advisor by August 18th, 2022. And know, hold times may be longer than usual. If we haven’t heard from you by August 18th, 2022, you’ll remain booked on the alternate Adventure of the Seas sailing. If you have any questions, please contact your Travel Advisor immediately or contact us at: 1 888 281 9344 in the U.S. 1800 754 500 in Australia / 0800 102 123 in New Zealand In the UK only, by using our webchat service or by calling 0344 493 4005 All other countries, please visit http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contactus for your local Royal Caribbean International office phone number.

Doubt it’s gone for good…Too many people enjoy it. With the Covid restrictions easing, we hope to see it back on a cruise soon
-
Every little bit helps. Glad you got it corrected
-
We enjoy a day on the ship whenever we stop in Nassau.
-
Log on to your Cruise Planner, you can check your past cruises. You have two tabs under your name...Upcoming Cruises and Past Cruises. You might want to check there to see if you are missing any cruises.

On our cruise last month...Some were wearing masks but most people were not and all crew were wearing masks. If your group feels safer wearing a mask...Go for it! You will not be the only ones wearing one.

Requesting Tips on top of Gratuities
Psycho and Barb replied to Traveling Mike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We like using theses envelopes and always stop by customer service to get more. We always tip as we go but we also like to reward a few who go above and beyond for us....Like on our last cruise it was our head waiter who was from India. We mentioned we like Indian food and really like a good curry dish. He bought us a different curry dish to our table at dinner every night from the crew mess...He got one of our envelopes. -
We had the pleasure of meeting him on our April 22 Odyssey of the Seas cruise. We were walking by his office on the pool deck and we started talking with him. Very nice guy and didn't mind answering questions...Of course Psycho had to know how he was able to cruise fulltime. We chatted with him quite a few times during the week.
