Just booked the May 15th, 2022 Alaska cruise on the Serenade.
I have some FCC from our cancelled cruise May 2020.
Kelley from MEI is my TA.
She has been excellent on getting my deposit extended due to RCCL error.
She has gotten me a better rate then advertised.
Then today, Sunday, I get an email from her that she got an even lower rate with a refundable deposit.
If anyone is on the fence about getting a TA please know I'm more than happy, Kelley is awesome!
First time ever using a TA

Stop packing so much crap we never used. 
I seriously need to be like some of you, have a cruise bag of the things we actually use.

Hi everyone, I know we get heated debating which dessert is the best one to order, or if a balcony room is worth it, but let's keep these basic rules in mind when chatting here.

There goes our Alaska trip!

Matt is about as official as it can be.

They haven't assigned your stateroom yet, once they do the GTY will have a room number.  Keep checking.
Good Luck!!

You can use your android phone, just download an app that scans barcodes.
Go to one of your sail passes and scan the barcode on the pass. 
When you scan it, it will say "Unknown Format but here is the content of the scan."  
Last four-five digits are your room number, it would be separated by a hyphen 
We too are on the May 10th Allure sailing we have two GTY rooms.
We have two, looks like one is on deck 7 and the other is deck 12.
Sorry I can't explain the Apple wallet heck, I couldn't figure it out and I have a iPhone.

Clear that it doesn't... At times... One thing I have found though with RCL is their inconsistency... A gal in one of my Facebook groups was told that they will "return the deposit to the card it was drawn from" when the FCC actually becomes available...  I have no idea... I do know that when I recently went for an upgrade I had five different stories from five reps and the last one  made me happy as can be...  Its with reasonable certainty that I will use the same tenacity I did negotiating the upgrade. (Which by the way is always done with full respect and cordiality to the person on the other end of the line...)
 
 
 

Although many will be disappointed I am sure that what is happening Is close to worst case scenario for the cruise industry.  On the bright side, from past comments, the boardwalk rooms will have a better view of the ocean, maybe the full Sabor stays and is unique. Less rooms means slightly less people. An Oasis class ship as originally intended. 
Just trying to stay positive as my 2 day romantic getaway on Celebrity has been cancelled.  

Enjoy! 

Here are a few more.

No cash....give me the FCC....I've already spent the cash once. It'll never trust me again.

Boarded Liberty today. 400 empty cabins due to cancellations this week. However, the ship doesn’t feel less empty. There’s enough hand sanitizer everywhere that you could bath it in. People must have packed their entire house (present company included, but I always over pack.) in anticipation of a quarantine because luggage delivery is delayed. I’m not worried... my HR director is on the ship, so I’m covered. Saw her as we boarded. DW jokes about how I see people no matter where we are from school/that I taught. Well, this time it may come in handy as long as I don’t partake in too much Kraken. ?

Civitavecchia is indeed a long drive from Rome, so take that into account. But as said by others, these private companies can't afford not to drop you off on time - it will ruin their business.
As mentioned, request to get back to the ship early (like 2 hrs prior to the all aboard time) and stick to it. Chances are that if you are stuck in traffic - the cruise tour may be as well.
Take a picture of the port authorities info - in case you would be late - at least you can call someone
in the even that you would not make it, travelling to the next port is not the biggest issue, there are plenty of ways of transportation - but this will cost you money
If you can, stay in Rome/Italy a few days prior/after the cruise, so much to see!
