@Matt joined Doug Parker on the Cruise Radio Podcast this week (podcast #575) to talk about Royal Caribbean and Coronavirus - nice job, Matt! https://cruiseradio.net/podcasts/

It didn't show up for me until two weeks prior to boarding (I redeemed it in January, it showed up in June). I have heard that if you call RCCL Visa and ask them to apply it immediately, they will do so.

omg, I love Saul.

Aaaand Michelle got me $100 off on my Empress sailing and $70 on my Allure sailing! woohooo!

Congratulations!

When you get on the ship go to the Shore Excursions list and see if you can get on a wait list. You might get lucky.

Yeah, it's Michelle for me, too, lol. I'm in good company, at least!

I emailed my MEI TA - I've never been right, even when I've thought I saw a price drop in mine, and I'm sure she's absolutely sick of me, but hopefully I can make it up to her someday, lol.

Am I missing a good sale or something? lol

Mr SpeedNoodles LOVED the Bionic Bar - he can't wait until next week when he can hit it again. His favorite was the Aqua-Tonic-A under the Bionic Signature Drink menu (don't even ask me what's in it, I have no idea). On Ovation it was often the only place to get a drink without a 15-20 minute wait (at least in the area we happened to be - Schooner Bar was a madhouse most of the time and that was the closest one).

One day, for several hours, the price for the Deluxe Beverage Package was listed (erroneously) at $18. Word got around quickly, and people jumped on it before Royal was able to correct it. The joke was that the "intern" must have screwed up. I was able to snag it for 2 cruises (this one, and the upcoming Brilliance Group Cruise in Oct https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/event/royalcaribbeanblogcom-cruise-aboard-brilliance-of-the-seas). Royal was gracious and honored the price for everyone who got lucky!

Nah, it just takes me to my cruise planner as it always has.

My pre-MEI travel agent was a turd about repricing, too. I actually had a price drop and called her, but she said that I wasn't "eligible" for price readjustments (read: I've never heard of this and have NO idea how to do it). Such great service considering they charged me a $100 booking fee.

Odd, everything has been working just fine for me over the last few days - I haven''t experienced any problems. Then again, my sign in screen hasn't changed to what you guys see, either.

Things will be open like any other port day. Check a previous cruise compass to see what sort of activities and venues that should be open.

Single digit dance!!! The weather sucks today. We don't typically get this kind of cold so late in February. The wind chill has dipped under -20F. I'm on my 4-day weekend, and I only have two more nights of work before we go. Sunday and Monday. Oh, and I requested Monday off because it's guaranteed to be the LONGEST 10-hour shift OF MY LIFE. I should know soon if it's been approved. TICK, TICK, TICK

You are going to have SO. MUCH. FUN.!!!! How long until you cruise?

It's so nice when the hubbies are happy! (Hubbys? I'm struggling).

Thanks! Hope you're having a great time!

Is this also true in Galveston? I hear they have some funky-a** alcohol laws.

May I refer you back to your original thread on this exact topic?

The Costco card has no foreign transaction fees. I only use my RCCL Visa for Royal Caribbean purchases (including cruise fare).

And right after I posted the above, they all had prices added to them ? #stupidnightshift

Well, since I just woke up I apparently missed all of the fun. While all of the restaurants are listed at $0, when I add myself and Mr SpeedNoodles to the reservation I get this response (on all restaurants):

Mine consistently lasts 3 weeks no matter how calm the waters were or how long the cruise was, so everyone seems to be different.
