You‘re luckier than me. Yesterday I received another one of those emails starting with “About Your Upcoming Travels“ and the subject “Select a New Sail Date“. And this is already the replacement cruise I chose instead of this canceled one. I can‘t believe it! 😠 😑
I‘m getting tired of organizing everything over and over again …  😞 

Glad it turned out to be just a minor change!

Royal not update their website??? No way! 🤣
I think something like that is more likely than them ("them" being what I have to assume is an automated system and not subject to human error) assigning 3 people to a cabin that only holds 2.

I mean, it really could be nothing to worry about. It's entirely possible that the stateroom in question has recently been re-categorised and the deck plans simply haven't been update to reflect that. I don't know if you remember seeing a post not so long ago from someone who couldn't find their assigned room at all on the deck plan (Oasis, I think?) and that was exactly the issue. The room was clear to see on other Oasis class deck plans (Harmony) but had been added to Oasis during its dry dock and nobody updated the deck plans.

See the edit I added while you were likely typing that response. This is an interesting one.

It doesn't have any of the symbols marked on it that would identify it as taking additional guests over the standard double occupancy.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the deck plan page you can see them listed. For example, cabins with a little triangle marked on them can take 3 guests.

Today I opened my email inbox amd there were 8 mails from Royal with the topic "Change confirmation" and my first thought was "Nooooooo not again!" I opened the first of the email fearing the worst, but this time I was lucky, all 8 mails (2 each for the 4 of us, for some reason) had the same content - one of our excursions now start at 08.30 instead of 08 40 😅, I mean I would have been fine with them telling me this onboard in July... oh well, just happy it was not another cancellation 🤣

I have been eyeing that one up. It's out of Miami. (the Ex one, is). It's a great itinerary.

My phone and iPad finally synched, so I have some photos from Antigua and Grenada.  Let’s see how this goes.  I’ve had some trouble spacing them and inserting text.  I’m terrible at this stuff.
This is the floating platform in Antigua for the stingray swim.  It made the entire experience so much better than in Grand Cayman. It was much easier to get into and out of the water

  These mysterious blobs are obviously stingrays.  They are so docile and sweet.  
 

You can almost see the tail !
 

This is St George, Grenada with Explorer in the background.  I really liked Grenada.  Nice people, beautiful island, shitty roads.
 

Obviously, I’m having a bad hair day.  
 

The town of St George really reminds me of Curaçao, which is one of my very favorite places.  This town just looks so quaint.


Shamefully, I got very few photos of Ft Frederick.  
 

These monkeys are native to the island and I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know their proper species name.  We caught a fleeting glance at one in the rain forest.

…and finally, the waterfall at Annandale.  Very beautiful place. Kinda like a cenote in Mexico.

Sorry that was a typo. It was supposed to be 2025. My bad.

If you filter the search by each of those ships individually and then by cruise date, you will see that both Serenade and Radiance have nothing showing beyond September 2026, when they finish their summer seasons in Alaska.
I would expect at least one of them to do an eastbound Panama Canal sailing. Those tend to be unpredictable in terms of release dates and are sometimes simply put up for sale on random dates with no advance warning. 
What they would do after the Canal transit is anyone's guess. I would like to see one of them do the longer 10/11 night Caribbean sailings from Florida over the winter, as currently the longest is 8 nights. 🤞However, given Royal's recent focus on shorter cruises that may be wishful thinking on my part. 🤔
As for Ovation, I would expect her to be doing the Singapore sailings. Those are due for release around the middle of next month.

Just resurrecting this old thread to say if anyone is interested in doing this activity check your cruise planner. With the current sale, I'm seeing it at $39.99, which was a big enough discount to make me pull the trigger for my upcoming Anthem cruise.

Yes, imagine having to sort out all of this mess without a TA batting for you. How many hours would you have to waste getting the run-around from Royal?! 😬

You would be surprised. October in the Med is like the tropics to peeps from more northerly climes.

But that has happened to others. Most of them stem from the last round of Black Friday CP purchases/refunds.
Too many! Even with the help of my TA, my head is spinning.

Yes, as long as you don't need to be right beside the pool you'll be fine. 😊

My birthday twin to the day and year!

The pricing the suites on Anthem is WOW (and not in good way). Seems to be about double what we have been paying on Quantum.
The GLS we had on Quantum cost around $13,000 NZD in total, now that is the cost PP.
 

They're starting to load the Oz sailings now. There are two on Voyager and two on Anthem currently showing.

They need to invent pool chairs that have a toaster feature. After a certain amount of time the chairs pop and push you out.

Happy Birthday @AshleyDillo!  Wishing you many more to celebrate while cruising!  😊 
Yesterday was my son’s 44th!  Ughhh, no idea how that happened…those years just flew by!  It turned into a great day as living in RI brought us about a 92% Eclipse, so all my grandkids were over and all my kids and it was just an awesome day celebrating 🥳.   The grands absolutely loved seeing the Eclipse!

Happy birthday @AshleyDillo! 🥳
