TA. No bonus $ from Royal, but did get some from TA. Also factored in the money we will save not having to pay for luggage valet. Oh...and free WoW bands!

Our category has not sold out. It is after final payment and was watching for affordable upgrades. Pulled the trigger this morning and now in a GS. Net additional cost will be under $400. :)

Nice. GS are still the same price and they have not sold one in a week. I had TA call to see if Royal would give me some OBC to pull the trigger. They said "no". TA will give me $50 and I have $150 in Royal Visa credit that would bring it down to $500. Another question. GS come with free Voom. We already get free Voom with the Sip & Stream pkg. I sure they will not refund the internet portion, but can I give the extra internet codes to the other couple traveling with us?

No price drops overnight and my GS has been released. Unless the rate comes down we will stay in our JS. Wife does not feel the GS is worth an extra $100 per day.

May 13th.

Great ship! We have sailed Nav twice and had a wonderful time. We look forward to sailing her on the 9 night ABC ports in November.

The wife says I am obsessed with cruising and everything that comes along with it. This time I actually agree with her. LoL Almost daily I check the prices of our booked cruises, flights and hotels. Prices go up and down and I notify our agent to take advantage of reductions if they exceed $20. Last night I noticed the largest price drop ever, but sadly it's AFTER final payment. Our May Harmony sailing in a JS dropped $750 and JS guarantee is about $1500 less than we paid. I know there is nothing we can do about it other than consider paying to upgrade to a GS for a total of almost $700. We love love loved our GS on Liberty, but paid far less than what we did for the JS on Harmony. Just have to decide if the extra perks are worth it. I know that we would use the complimentary luggage valet, Suite lounge occasionally, the suite sun deck and definitely take advantage of Barefoot beach on Labadee. My only concern with Barefoot beach is that we are traveling with another couple and they will not upgrade to a Suite. Will they allow access to them if they are with us or is that only if we rent a Cabana?

We enjoy dressing up and take advantage of the professional quality photo ops.

I am going to attempt to add pics from our GS suite on Liberty...

Looks like we will be neighbors! Booked #9644. 😜ðŸ‘

I am looking at that exact sailing. Fixing to ask Mrs. Wilson.

Well it seems as though Matt has "encouraged" me to book another cruise. RCblog Alaska Group Cruise June 22, 2018 on Explorer

We have used it numerous times. It's only $15 over the airline, but the guarantee policy is worth it to us.

Same problems for over 24 hours on IE and Safari, but seems to be working on Chrome.

I saw that on our Nov Navigator cruise and thought it was something new. I am hoping the wife will book a spa treatment and I will be "On a Roll".

Oops...thought you were not seeing anything.

I have been unable to view on IE, Royal App or on Safari for about 24 hours. Went to chrome and it works fine.

We booked a Panoramic for the Alaska group cruise. Wanted an aft corner balcony but they currently require 3 guest. Hoping Annette can work some MEI magic, but if not we will enjoy the views from our fwd cabin on deck 12.

The 18% gratuity is already figured into the final price you paid for the packages.

What did you decide to do? Reading on CC that the water was contaminated in the past? Looks like it's less expensive here vs Resort for a day: https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/st-maarten/adults-only-all-inclusive-sonesta-great-bay-beach-day-pass.html

We have had very good experience with https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/

:o

We have been to both and love Sanchos. We went to Nachi last April based on reviews from others on the forum. We experienced very poor service and it seemed as though our server was hungover or just didn't care. Several times we had to walk to the bar to get our own drinks. Had a bad experience with the bartender at the pool too. We returned to Coz in November and took our large group to Sanchos. Nachi was not even a consideration based our first visit. Without going on an excursion the snorkeling is not good at either location. We reserve our Sanchos visit on shoreexcursioneers.com and save $5. Pre-book the snorkel trip through them and save about 25%. The snorkel boat leaves from Sanchos and they take you to some very nice areas.

I got up at midnight to.check out the new releases. Obviously I did not read that it was "the week of March 6". LoL

I am over 750k rewards and just waiting for Royal to post new offers.
