Yes I think it’s a bit to early we are booked on Explorer for May 2019 and nothing is available to purchase on the cruise planner.

I hope someone can help?

Myself and partner and parents are going on a cruise in August on Indy for 2 weeks. We’ve booked a 6V interior cabin and selected our room number. 

Weve just checked and 6V cabbins have dropped in price by about £500 per cabin. Although these are guarantee rooms not pre selected? 

Does anyone know if I can contact RC to match the price that has dropped? Never done it before and not sure about he guarantee cabins etc.

Thanks

Although it is an added cost to the holiday (we just paid £39 pppd) when a cocktail is roughly £9 and a glass of wine about £6 I only need to have 4 cocktails and a glass of wine to go over the package fee. That’s without specialty coffee and water 

Just checked my cruise planner and it’s recently updated to include the pay for option for Grease on independence of the seas this year. £59pp...... ?

Does anyone know if we’ll get to see any upgrade pictures during dry dock?

I have been watching the price but cupcake class offered on Allure has not nudged.   Is this ever discounted online or maybe on the ship?   My wife is interested but not sure when to schedule so being on the ship might be easier.   Also, In my mind the price seems a little high.  So im hoping there might be some discounts later.     

Me and my partner did this on Indy last year. It’s was on the cruise planner for £20 pp so decided to wait to see how much it was onboard. We poped in on day 1 and the lady there offered it to us for 30 dollars for the two of us! 

I booked the first day the new dates for 2019 sailings from Southampton we’re released. We booked a 10 night trip on explorer for £700 pp for an interior room. Within 4 days it’s gone up to £1055pp for the same room! 

It’s right what you said about ringing a different person if you don’t get the right answer or outcome. My partner doesn’t drink and it’s not worth us having the refreshment package as it works out about £22 per day. After calling twice I got to have the deluxe drinks package without buying anything package for my partner.... happy days ?

Just checked the Royal carribean website and 2019 UK dates have been published!

Explorer of the seas will be joining independence of the seas departing from 2019 :)

The mini golf is moving to deck 14 as part of the dry dock in May ?

Where the st tropez tanning deck is now.

Thanks Twangster, very helpful and i’ll def have another read of your blog. 

So much information to take in being new to cruising - so I’m so glad I found this site. 

I’m sailing on Indy for the 4th this August sailing the 11th..... can’t wait ?

We sailed from Southampton last year with 3 couples, with a 3 having different C&A status.

We queued together for priority check in and although we had different boarding times as we were a party they were fine to let us all go on the earliest boarding time together. 

I’m sailing on Indy three times this year..... every drink pacakage is a different price for all 3 cruises?

The one for May is £55 per day? If I buy it onboard it’s $65 dollars which works out around £47. I may aswell wait and book onboard.

Confusing prices!

120, 240 And 270 days!

Cant wait to see Indy after it’s dry dock!
