This may turn into a Hurricane when it reaches land. Looks like Louisiana is going to get hammered. I would keep an eye on it for sure.

I assume that my wife will have a separate C&A number when we finish our first cruise?

I am far less upset about not getting the rate (disappointed, sure. I mean, who doesn't like an outrageously good deal!) than I am about their whole way of dealing with it. The reps made promises they had no business making and the mistake was live for at least 4 hours - probably longer. As someone who has worked in IT, Customer Service and IT Customer Service (call center help desk rep for a major financial institution), the response would have gotten people reprimanded or fired. You don't make promises you can't keep nor do you leave a mistake like that up for hours on end. At least turn purchasing off and direct people to call in for those purchases where they can be told it is a mistake.
Thats normal for most customer service depts in 2019 though. I have went round and round with AT&T for the last 3 months and promised 4 different pricing discounts and every single one fell through. Most people dont have any clue what they are talking about because no one cares anymore. No pride taken in their jobs, they just answer the phone and get paid. I agree they should have handled it differently, Im just saying its 2019 and common sense no longer exists.

If they cancel it can anyone really get pissed off......I mean in all reality you knew when you bought it that it was a mistake. Hope they honor it for anyone that jumped on it but if they don't I would chalk it up to something you didnt get away with.

When do the new schedules usually come out? We are going to look at 2021 for our next cruise and want to get the best deal possible. So would August 2021 show up in September this year?
Is it worth looking at Next Cruise while we are on the ship? Thanks everyone!

My first cruise was before Disney Lines started and the family did a combo 4 days at Disney and 3 nights on the Big Red Boat. Had a blast. Very informal and there was a midnight buffet one night and a chocolate midnight presentation on another night. Most memorable part was finding my 15 year old daughter at the pool bar drinking an alcohol Strawberry Daquiri with a crew member. Yes I did create a scene!!!
Wow, is the dude still breathing?

Although its simple, a good Pina colada was just great for me and I loved it! I also saw there was a drink that was a mix of Pina colada and strawberry daiquiri. Theres also a mix of mango daiquiri, strawberry daiquiri and Pina colada and that just sounds divine
I believe the Pina Colada and strawberry daiquiri mixed is called a Miami Vice. My buddy has been telling me non stop I have to try one!

The only person I dress to impress is my wife...if she thinks dressing formal is appropriate and she is going to "get dolled up" for dinner then youre damn right Im going to dress nice. Otherwise I would rather be comfortable and I quit caring about what others think about me a LONG time ago. Life is so much better when you mind your own business and just live your own life. If everyone would worry about them, get a job and mind their own business well.....that would fix 90% of the world today.

Stupid question, when purchasing the photo package only 1 passenger in the stateroom needs to purchase it correct?

If you have the package, I would just suggest relaxing at the bar and trying some. You have the full menu available, and the sommeliers there can help you pick out options that you'll be most likely to enjoy.
That said, if you're looking for the social aspect as well, then the group activity may still be worth doing. At least on the two sailings I've done so far, Vintages has tended to be a very quiet location with few patrons at any time of the day or night.
That sounds much more my speed LOL. Thanks for the info!

Covers up to $13 on most ships. You just have to pay the overage plus 18% of the overage beyond that. There are a handful of wines in each category that fit within the limit, but many of the wines are $$$. If you can find out the wines to be sampled ahead of time it can make your decision to partake easier.
I have no problem paying the overage, I just didnt know if we would have a better experience doing the group setting or just relaxing at the bar and trying some.

If you have the UDP does it cover wine at vintages? Was looking at this but we also have the UDP package so I didnt know if we could just go try different wines on our own.

The initial Key was released at $24.99 but quickly dropped to $19.99 in the early months of the program. Sales appear to have exceeded expectations and $19.99 is rarely seen anymore on Oasis class or Quantum class.
I think what happens is they have so many in the $24.99 bucket and once those sell it goes to $29.99. Once sold out it they seem to have a plan C where in some cases the price jumps to $37.99. I guess they figure if people want it that bad, they'll happily sell it at a huge mark up.
There is greater benefit on the mega ships. More entertainment venues, more activities like flowriders, more people so priority boarding accomplishes more and there is more demand. Hence the higher prices.
Initially it was 100 simply to test the waters and gauge demand. It might vary by ship or class of ship.
I was just curious because if everyone buys it then it defeats the purpose of me purchasing it.

We thought about trying Chefs Table but Im a little bit of a picky eater. Not big on some of the fruits and veggies and any type of bean in the world is BLAH.. LMAO Not sure if it would be worth it for me. Unless you all think it would be and Ill book it right meow!

Negative on taking passports off the ship. In an extreme emergency, they can be retrieved by crew, as mentioned above. Instead, you have a couple of options. Take a photocopy of the main page with you, purchase a travel card when you order your passport (and take it as your ID off the ship), or just trust that your driver's license and SeaPass are sufficient. The more you carry passports around off ship, the more likely you are to be pick-pocketed or forgetful. And on excursions, there is the risk of water damage at the beach, etc. State Department has the STEP program that allows you to register foreign travel, so US will know where you are in an emergency. We have taken 14 cruises without incident except for the time I did take passports. On that occasion our small boat stalled in choppy seas, we and passports were soaked to the skin, and I felt stupid for almost ruining our documents. They are needed to re-enter the US, which is why they stay in a locked stateroom safe.
We bought the passport cards with our passports just because our state is not Real ID compliant and it doesnt look like that will ever happen (Oklahoma)....So the card makes airline travel and getting into a federal building possible. I never thought about carrying it off the ship instead of the Passport. Thanks for the suggestion!

Who would ever let go of your child, even if there was no glass there?

Basically someone didnt watch their child and was careless resulting in the childs death. Instead of taking responsibility the family is going to try and cash in on this horrible situation. If they sue I hope the judge throws it out and charges the family with ALL court costs.
