    Bakerette got a reaction from CazV in What happens when prices drop on ship activities already purchased?   
    Royal Caribbean does not automatically refund or credit you the price difference on the items you purchased If the items that you brought beforeare cheaper now then when they were purchased. I would cancel and rebook at the lower price. 
    You can cancel items that you purchased in your cruise planner and rebook if the price is cheaper and you can purchase other services/packages until 3 days before your cruise. 
    A month ago I purchased some cruise planner items before they were on sale and last week I noticed that some of the items I had previously purchased were now on sale for up to 50% off, so I had cancelled those items and I had repurchased them at the lower price.

    Bakerette reacted to SpeedNoodles in Luggage when embarkation ???   
    Yes, you have to check anything bigger than a carry on with a porter.  If you need something on embarkation day put it in your embarkation bag in case your luggage shows up later in the day.

    The one exception being if you have purchased The Key, where they will take carry on luggage directly to your room and you can get to it after 1pm. But you'd still want to keep anything valuable or necessary with you. This won't apply to many, but it's one of the perks I did like.

    I booked a RC cruise 9 months in advance So I could Pick a good room.
    Was called today by my “Vacations to Go”  Agent , I had to move rooms because we only had 2 people in our room and it could  accommodate 3 to 4 people ( because of fold out couch).
    I looked at the ticket contract and I don’t see anywhere that they can change our room we already reserved. Does anyone know how we can solve this problem?

    I don’t know if there is anything that can be done in this case, but, I have heard of it happening before. Most recently, I heard of a case where 3 people were booked into a grand loft (which is star class) and one person had to cancel, leaving 2 people, and royal said that they would have to cancel their reservation because the suite can accommodate more than 2! This did not seem right to me and unfortunately I do not know the end result yet.
    My advice would be to double check with your TA in case they are wrong. Or even ask to speak to a supervisor. If all else fails, call royal directly.

    You can get a prepaid card for each of your kids and add the prepaid card information to their individual sea pass account when you complete online checkin process or when you can add the prepaid card information when you checkin at the cruise terminal. Also when you board the ship heard to guest services and ask if you can set a limit on how much each of your kids seapass accounts each day/night of the cruise.

    The last few days I have been logging into the cruise planner servers times a day to try and reserve shows but I kept getting this message:
    how were you able to book shows even though you cruise is in June?
    My cruise is exactly 60 days from today and I have not yet been able to book shows.
    I Am able to book other things like shore excursions, dining reservations, drink packages, internet packages, spa packages, and activities within the cruise planner but I am not able to book shows.

    Bakerette got a reaction from Lovetocruise2002 in Ultimate Dining Package time, spa reservation conflict, and muster?   
    The UDP is only blocked for the first night because that is the time frame that you have selected for your group to have dinner on the first night and the ship will make the reservation for you at any of the speciality restaurants for the first night but for the other nights you will have to make dinner and sea days lunch reservations at the one of the speciality restaurants and (I believe) that while at just one speciality restaurant you can make dinner or sea days lunch reservations for the other speciality restaurants at whatever time (does not have to be the same time that you selected to have dinner the first night of your cruise) that you would like for the other nights of your cruise.

    Bakerette got a reaction from Bob_KY in Question regarding Suite Life   
    I stayed in a JS (junior Suite) when I was on Oasis in December and could eat only dinner in the coastal kitchen but did not know that I should have made reservations when I got onboard so I went to the coastal kitchen later in the afternoon thinking that I would be able to make reservations for every night of the week but I was only able to make reservations for the coastal kitchen for only 3 nights of the week and the other 4 nights I was stuck having dinner at either the windjammer (the Buffet) or the MDR (main dining room). WHEN YOUR STAYING IN A SUITE ALWAYS BOOK THE COASTAL KITCHEN WHEN YOU GET ONBOARD. Don’t waist until later to book the coastal kitchen or else you might not be able to dine in the CK and would be stuck with eating at either the windjammer or the MDR.

    Bakerette got a reaction from GlowTheWeird in How to get Traditional Dining   
    When you first board the ship head over to guest services and tell them that you want traditional dining (5:30pm or 8:30pm) but missed that part when booking, then when You go to the the main dining room ask if you can be seated at the same table each night.
    I had done the same thing because I booked a junior suite on Oasis and one of the perks was that I got to have dinner in the coastal kitchen each night of the cruise so when I got onboard I did not go to the coastal kitchen right away to make reservations and instead explored the ship and later went to make reservations and was unable to because all of the dining times were full and so I went to guest services and told them what happened and they got me reservations at the MDR (Main dining room) for 3 nights out of the week and reservations for the coastal kitchen 3 nights out of the week, I would have liked to eat at the coastal kitchen for 3 nights instead of only 3 nights. I know that only adds up to 6 night, because on the second night i knew that I had a reservation in the MDR which I had made months ago since I had a 2 celebrations and that is where I was told that the celebrations were going to be held and had the celebrations set for a specific night so I made reservations for that 1 night in the MDR. I did not bother making reservations for other nights because I thought that I would be able to eat at the CK (Coastal Kitchen). 
    WHAT I WAS SAYING BY ALL OF THAT IS THAT YOU WHOULD MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR THE MDR IN ADVANCE!

    Bakerette got a reaction from PhantomWolf in Documents for in Port?   
    Booking a cruise so far in advance is a good idea because if there is any sales for your ship and sale date and the price is cheaper then when you booked you can then call RC directly or call your TA and ask for the cheaper price and the new price will be a better deal from when you booked your cruise. You can also book shore excursions, drink packages, dining, internet, and spa packages before you even get onboard and at a cheaper price vs the onboard pricing for each of the packages. As the sale date gets closer the price of the cruise will increase  but there will also be sales on the cruise itself and there will also be sales on the cruise planner.

    The ultimate dining package will show up on the app prior to sailing but the name of the restaurant will not show up. I think that There will be a letter in your cabin that says the name of the restaurant that they have reserved for you, but if you do not feel like eating there the first night you can change the date that you want to eat there by going to that restaurant, and you an also make reservations to eat at the other speciality restaurants by going to each restaurant and making a reservation for a different day but at the same time that you chose when you book the ultimate dining package. You can also have lunch at some speciality restaurants on sea days in think between 12:00 noon and 1:30pm.
