RCCL having Epic Sale now so I called my TA today. I had OBC $150 from RCCL but now they offer 1st and 2nd people free gratuity.( $203 total). I have already spent my OBC ($150) for part of payments of Cruise Planner. I would like to get new offer but I was told that they might have to release the room temporarily to modify the booking and then re-book the stateroom. Never know if some one else is booking at that same room or not at the exact time it’s released..... It sounds like to get new offer , I have to prepare the risk of loosing our room ?? Have you ever had a experience before ??( got reprice but lost your room you have..)

Thank you for all the information. Reg, Empress of the seas, I tried to book balcony oceanviw stateroom, but they don’t offer. Only inside or JS/GS. May be all sold out ??

Is anyone done this before ? I am interesting to go to Cuba. Are there only short cruise with smaller ships ??

Thank you for your recommendation. I have booked beach front cabana and zip line/ alpine coaster. !!

Enjoy the nice weather. Hope no more snow here..!! Have a great time

I used Avoya travel first time for up coming my cruise. . When I find the price dropped, I just call and she checked for me. That is what I learned here. Checked price by my self and call TA. Only one time the price got cheaper than the price I paid not that big amount. TA recomended not to change because I will lose the amount of OBC. I am not sure I will use Avoya again but so far it is O.K.

We are going San Juan also. Such a short stay like 7am - 2pm. I have booked RCCL shore excursion because of safe..(never been there). “ Old & New San Juan City Tour” 2.5 hrs. $27pp Have any one experience this tour ?? is this worth ? or recommend just go our selves? Thank you

If you will not use your OBC, refund to your Credit Card or no ??

I have another question. I never see the cabana on sale at Adrenaline Beach at Cruise Planner. Looks like very close for Zip Line & Coaster. Are those cabana for Suite guests only ??

Thank you for your great help !!

We are going to bring only carry on. So only allowed 1L zipped bag for liquid. It will be hard to bring everything. Sun screens took most of space.....

Nellie’s Beach cabana which I booked is direct water access. Is this one to far from zip line & dragon coaster ? This is my 1st RCCL. I have no idea of location.

Just booked Nellie’s Beach Cabana. Over the water one , is too expensive. I paid $ 316. Hope this price reasonable.

We went Blue Hole with my family Disney Fantasy. We had booked private tour and my boys blast !! Still good memory for us. No disappointment

Are you talking about gratuity( prepaid) on top of it $500/$700/$1000 each for cabin attendants?

Hi, I found Nellies beach cabana available on cruise planner, (it was gone little while so I thought all sold out). I am thinking to reserve if still there. I have booked zip line and dragon coaster also. How far from those from Neillie beach cabana. ?? I don’t like to long walk back. Thank you for your help!!

If I remove pre paid gratuity, and pay by cash and hand out to each person end of the cruise , Head server, assistant server 1 . assistant server 2, and 2 of stateroom attendant, who should I give the “ other hotel services” ?? too complicated. I heard “ gust services” provide the envelopes how many should I get those.?? May be prepaid gratuity is more easy for me.? Please advise me.. Total how many people should get tip from us ??

Thank you for your reply. I didn’t. know that the OBC could be use at Duty- free shop.!

I have listened the pod cast before. They said that “ Price will be the same between RCL direct or TA.....” . But I knew it was not same. On-line TA gave us more OBC than RCL direct that is true. But TA incentive OBC can’t use Cruise Planner for purchase something. Only we can use it on Board. I purchased pretty much through cruise planner so I don’t know how can I use that OBC.

Then, I ‘ll be your customer !!

Refreshment pkg. is now $18. But still drink pkg. $45. I am waiting $43. I don’t drink much but for convenience to get this one.

My TA is allways sent me email back when I asked something to email her. That all......sad.
