    Sometimes the redeemed OBC takes a while to show up on your Cruise Planner.  While I have never done this myself, I have heard that others have been able to call BofA and have them apply the OBC immediately so that it will be available for your use in the CP.  We use the BofA RC Visa card a LOT and we love it.  Good luck !

    Iluv4n6 got a reaction from OCSC Mike in check in times   
    Thanks, @OCSC Mike.  We are booked on Anthem out of Southampton (UK) on May 19.  So we should be able to check in at midnight GMT 45 days from sailing which would be comfortably in the early evening in the central US.  Wasn't sure if all cruises were locked into RC HQ (Miami) time for determining midnight 45 days out from embarkation.  Good to know that isn't the case.
    The app is easy to use and works great for snagging an early boarding time.  The app has taken ~2-5 minutes after midnight at the embarkation port to open up check-in for me based on recent experience.

    Definitely one per household, but we also ended up with 2 in August on Liberty. Different styles too. So I had 2 blocks plus a ship model when that TSA officer checked. The original plan was that Hubby would sell one block on eBay when we got home but I still have both of them because I cannot part with either one. Neither one was the tacky new style they just came out with so I like them both.

    It wasn't us !  🤣  The Genie brought 2.  We told her we were only supposed to get 1 but she wouldn't take it back....so I traded the multiple Anthem block for 1 we didn't have.

    1 per household is the rule....but we got one each on one of our Anthem Star Class cruises a few years ago.

    Interesting variety of experiences with receiving crystal blocks--or not.  Have my fingers crossed that blocks are still a thing for RC when my wife and I cross 140 on Wonder in February...and, @Lovetocruise2002, if we luck out and get one (or two?) onboard they'll be going home in our checked bag...😁

    I didn't either when I crossed 140 on Harmony in June 2022 and didn't realize I was due one til I got home. I called C&A and was told it would be mailed but it would take 5-6 months due to the backlog. I received it in that time frame.

    Thanks @OCSC Mike.  Good to know my wife an I aren't the only ones without our check-in time being shown in our Guest Ticket Booklet...I think I'm done with my first, second, and third thoughts about this...😆

    I can't remember the last time I even looked at that... until just now to answer you, lol.
    My edocs for a cruise in 19 days also say "Request a check-in appointment at www.royalCarribbean.com/onlinecheckin."
    I wouldn't give it a second thought as long as you have your arrival time in the app.
  15. Thanks
    Iluv4n6 reacted to Ampurp85 in Guest Ticket Booklet Doesn't Show Reserved Check-In Appointment Time   
    I have always looked at the ticket because I am weird about fine print. It has always stated that but never posted a check-in time. I always assumed because it was like a contract not a real-time document. 
  16. Thanks

    The eDocs don't show any onboard bookings. Just your cruise and Air2Sea if you did that.
  17. Thanks

    I don't think the booklet/ticket has ever shown a reservation time.
    The ticket just shows room information and set dining times, never seen anything too personalized. Considering the check-in time can be changed or never even choosen, don't see why it would be listed.

    This is such a helpful and timely thread...wife and I will be checking in on the app next Wednesday evening (11PM central, midnight eastern) and will try jumping straight to the arrival time (and adding our other info later).  We tried this for our last cruise in January and ran into error messages out of the gates, so we ended up checking in a couple days later.  This will be a trail run for the app check-in process for a large family group cruise coming up early next year.  Don't want to fumble navigating the app for that one...😆

    Iluv4n6 reacted to WAAAYTOOO in tipping on back-to-back cruises   
    We always, always, always tip as we go.  We have learned over the years that you can never depend on having the same staff from day-to-day or meal-to-meal.  We’ve had room stewards change in the middle of a sailing.  You just never know so we tip as we go along…at every meal and with very drink we receive.  On our last B2B (SY) our room steward changed decks on the second leg of our B2B.  Good thing we had tipped her before the end of leg #1.
    The last thing I want to do when trying to “wrap things up” is go try and find someone to give them a tip.

    Thanks, All -- perhaps R Bars have not been the most memorable of bars.  But I remain intrigued by the retro concept.  Guess I'll reserve judgment until I get my first drink at one in the Centrum on Serenade in a couple months...and find out what retro concoctions they offer.  😁

    Iluv4n6 reacted to Curt From Canada in R Bars   
    There is very little special about R Bars (on Radiance class ships) with one major exception:
    They all look out on to the Centrum … in particular the dance floor. There is lots of entertainment and activities in the Centrum, so the R Bar can get busy.
     
    Not all Radiance class ships have R Bars …and we barely notice the difference when we are on Jewel (“not R”) or Radiance (R).
    We actually spend a lot time in the Centrum Bar (R or “not R”). Radiance class ships have a lot of opportunities to dance from happy hour onwards. It is very easy to find us … just look for the couple on the dance floor that are having a blast.
