    Hagar got a reaction from Neesa in Air2Sea   
    I don't see that it would need to be cancelled, just adjusted. I just had a customer find a $50 lower price for each ticket for his family of four. "Air2Sea" made sure the ticket price he found was not a promotional rate before they refunded his credit card the $200 to honor their "best price" guarantee.

    Old normal would have been to go on 6 cruises in 2022.
     
    When I saw my current count holding at "only 11," I felt surprised that I hadn't doubled my norm 😇

    On a similar but different note, we had a recent experience with Rhapsody being replaced by the Serenade (same dates), and I lost the OBC I had purchased with points.  However, my TA arranged for our promotional OBC to be reinstated when Royal updated our reservation on the new ship.  So I'd recommend talking to your TA, if you have one, as the other posts have indicated.    I am not worried about the other $50 OBC I lost since Royal upgraded our room.  Another benefit of having a TA....

    I find the best way to figure out the percentages regarding the drink package is to just keep drinking. Then I don’t care about the cerpentages.🥴

    I believe a lot of recent successful low dollar bids are because of reduced capacity.   
     
    If they can get more money out of people for a cabin that otherwise would have been empty, it’s good for them.  Cabins are perishable….once the ship sails, there’s no way to sell it, so $200 more dollars for someone to upgrade is better than zero dollars. 
     
    It’s a variation of what we do in the grocery business….  ”your first loss is your best loss”
     

    It’s also a good time to get people to experience cabins they otherwise wouldn’t book on their own for full price.   For example, we wouldn’t have paid full booking price for a junior suite, but after a successful low dollar Royal Up, we are more inclined to book one if the cost isn’t that much more than the lower category cabin that we were going to book anyway.

    Hagar reacted to KLA in Odyssey Check in times?   
    Thanks, all. I figured that was the case for earlier times so I've been checking back to see if I can get on earlier. 
    I was more concerned about the 2 hour window with people checking in after the ship had supposedly departed. 😅🤪

    Hagar got a reaction from WannaCruise in Canadians - Are you cruising this year or waiting?   
    My Canadian customers (friends now) are doing their own "shifting" just because of all the uncertainty. Not back into cruising for another year.

    Hagar reacted to FionaMG in Onboard Credit - transfer / refund‽   
    As per the T&Cs, this OBC is non-refundable so it's a case of use it or lose it.
    Have you booked any pre-paid stuff such as gratuities, speciality dining, excursions etc? If so, consider cancelling them as that will generate actual refunds to your original form of payment. Even if it takes a few weeks you will eventually recoup that cash. The OBC, which should show up in your cruise planner, can then be used to repurchase the cancelled items. 
    On the last day of the cruise, if you still have any left, use it up in the shops to buy gifts for yourself or others (think early Christmas shopping).

    Even though they say 30-50% through the end of this year, initial reporting is trickling in that crew to passenger ratio feels like 1 to 1
