Thanks for the post.

We asked for the 125% on 3 of our cruises and it has been almost two weeks and no email so we can apply it to a future cruise. Someone had said they didn't get an email but after a week they called and was able to apply it. I tried and it did not work. I did not save a copy of the online form I filled out for the canceled items. We have 5 or 6 cruises booked and I want to apply it to the ones I know we will spend it on. It totals over 2k so I wish they would hurry up because I have some excursions I want to book but don't want to spend more money.

If you want to swim with dolphins Cozumel is the place. We cruise often and Cozumel has the lowest prices for dolphin excursions. Our family really liked it and found a great price during a cruise planner sale.

Every cruise we have taken with Royal has been a casino cruise and most were free but we receive C&A points and are diamond. We would be diamond plus except for canceled cruises.

In our area the machines are back on and working. I hope the ship does not eliminate them as you can get very few different sodas from the bar.

They automatically shifted ours to the new person except they didn't give my 8 year old my drink package, They canceled that.

We try to exclusively use Southwest for their change policy because we've gotten screwed from other airlines. I noticed their flights are really limited and selling out quickly so I don't delay booking.

Grandeur August 6th $44 finally Freedom August 23rd $41 Adventure September 5th $44 Freedom November 22nd $41 Anthem December 19th $51 We're happy with those prices. Most were that low yesterday but the 1st one didn't drop till later today.

They have a very large variety. My daughter loves it.

Both times we booked cabanas the cabana number was on the ticket we received in our stateroom we did not have to wait till on the island to find out which one we had even with two ships in port. If we purchased one and the price goes down we purchase under another name before we cancel the first one.

I would skip both and enjoy the sand toys you take and the free lounge chairs. If your kids were a little older I'd say go for the water park because the wave pool is fun for all.

We should get 3 credits so applying to three different cruises. They were pretty big amounts so I may cancel some of my planner items and rebook. Also, going to buy some excursions that I was going to book privately.

Not sure my reasons apply to everyone but a big one for me is I use two less vacation days because I already have Thanksgiving and Black Friday off. Our oldest is home from college so we have a babysitter to leave our littles with also. We live in Western PA and it is a great break for us before we get set into a cold and snowy winter. Everyone is more friendly because they are gearing up for the holidays. For big families it is great to have your whole family together on a ship so you can enjoy the time together. It's a chance to make lasting memories with members of your family. It gives you more to be thankful for; being together as a family , that you have family, that you all have the ability to afford a cruise, that you can discover new places (ports) together. No one has to cook or clean and instead can concentrate on those they are with.

I came on today to find out how to apply the 125% to a specific cruise and you lovely posters answered my questions without me asking. We have a ton from 2 canceled cruises and want to apply it to the cruises we will spend more. I also don't want to apply it to August cruises in case they are canceled and the September cruise is just hubby and our youngest.

Second Thanksgiving couple cruise for hubby and I. This year on the Freedom. We are taking the family over Christmas on Anthem.

Depends on for what reason. Example specialty dinning package doesn't work on Christmas and New Years but works on Thanksgiving. Casino cruise holidays as mentioned by Ogilthorpe.

A few points, yes you can take unused yearly certificates and they are extended. Just booked one of my daughter's today. Also, the limit the number of casino offers on a specific cruise so they keep the percent of "free casino" cabins down to a certain number. So giving back the certificates will not overwhelm any certain cruise. Not all of these offers are free cruises. Some people simply get money off or a $ amount you can apply to any cruise. Why shouldn't we be able to lift and shift for these? In our case there are usually two to three cabins involved and we pay money towards the cruise because we have munchkins that love to cruise. We did manage to get things worked out with our casino host so that the kids get to do a their summer cruise vacation in August with dad but I will staying home for it. And they better sail in August so I get my 9 night alone, lol. We shifted our couples cruise to late August and I look forward to that. Also, when you can go and the flexibility they give goes up with your casino status. Now that hubby is master they rarely say no to him when booking something. His host really tries to make it work for our family. That said we have 3 gambler out of 5 people, hubby master and daughter and I signature.

Home2 is a very nice hotel near the Newark airport. We stayed there and it is brand new and very friendly.

We lost a few certificates this way also but I will say that until about 2 weeks ago a ton of offers showed up for us from Casino Royale and we took advantage and booked more cruises.

They adding information to the website today about how to avoid the wait times if that is helpful to anyone in the future. In our case we will not cancel any of our cruises. If Royal says we can go we are going.

One Master and two Signatures in our house and no new offers.

What station?

Thanks everyone, we are going to watch some of these tonight.

Pizza and ranger cookies, nightly.

I also thought this recipe was a bit off on the fat and sugar but am going to try it. I plan to add extra coconut.
