    Another leaded crystal block reminder:
     
    The x-ray machine operator can't identify it easily and causes additional screening many times. Having them shipped is the best way if you fly home from the ship. Do NOT pack them in your checked luggage and even with "pre-check" at the airport, I remove "it" from my carry-on for the scan.

    I second the cab at FLL since I just paid $21, including tip, for the quick trip to the ship from the airport in Feb. and the same amount returning earlier this month. Right now, getting through to Royal to cancel the transfers will be the hard part.

    RCG definitely "used to be" more generous on these redeployments.
    My only customer is a local for that port and quickly backed up to the week of the 27th but I certainly feel the pain of those who are caused real inconvenience for such a minor amount.

    When I see people complaining, either on message boards or while being interviewed by the press, about a bad vacation using a combination of certain key words and phrases;
    Seniors/Diabled
    Fixed Income   
    Recent Serious Medical Issues   
    “Nobody told us!”  
    ***here’s the big one….IT WAS OUR TRIP OF A LIFETIME!  
     
    Sorry, but it makes me a little suspicious as to motive. Not doing even the most reasonably expected due diligence when planning an expensive vacation…or any other purchase…expecting everything to happen for you just because you paid what you believe is an amount that should give you gold-glove treatment is reckless and risky. 
    I know there are incidents where issues have happened that are definitely the fault of the companies taking my money, and I hope to be able to recoup my loss. But I will do everything possible to be in the best position to do so. Including getting a good, solid insurance policy. There are risks in everything in life…but doing everything I can to mitigate those risks is important to me. One of the best things I did was join this blog and these forums. Knowledge is power…and sharing that knowledge with others makes us all better off.
    If the OP was a hit and run poster…oh, well. But if they truly want good information about Royal, then this is the place to be. Either way, I wish them the best.

    Hagar got a reaction from cruiserccl in FCC sent to TA or me?   
    There is also a mystery place they can end up due to an infamous "Royal glitch." I have one booking for a client where we know the FCC's exist yet they do not show applied to the booking. They also are not reflected in "Insight" (travel agent use).  Fortunately, the booking is still far enough out that I can rectify this situation since I do have a copy of the certificate numbers and amounts.

    Navigator was outnumbered by crew last week but was told only 600 passengers expected for the current 4-night run. We gotta turn this around!

    Even though I will hit my third spire at the end of 2022, I have never cruised in a STAR class suite. BUT a 2-BDRM Aqua IS my only booking in 2023 since I knew not to "go there" until I was ready to put that cherry on top of my "past cruises list."

    Hagar got a reaction from chill6x6 in What do you think about a 1:10PM MCO flight?   
    Air2Sea has 1 P.M. onward as the time to book flights out post-cruise and they are usually very conservative.

    Royal never advertised it.  Travel & Leisure prematurely leaked it.  Vent towards T&L.
     
    We have a very different perspective on Royal.  I don't see any smoke and mirrors, except during The Effectors on Odyssey.  🤣

    Now I know where those 13 points I got while playing at the slot machine with pigs went.  I had zero idea what I was doing there. I just kept pressing the "play" button until it was game over.  
    With 13 points, I am 2487 points away from Prime.  That's 191 cruises using my $6 Diamond Free Play benefit.  Yay!!!

    No one can understand the logic behind club royal, you are likely to get the Coca-Cola formula before getting  answers for the club royal logic of doing things , but you can check how many points are register to you by simple going to https://www.clubroyaleoffers.com/ enter your last name and C&A number.
    Beside points it will show you if you have any offers. As I understands (from other post here)  if your email is being used for other people reservations you might not get any offers anymore ...
