I had several of them show up for customers last week. I don't believe Royal contacted them by email before I did but not saying that to boast. Just verifying that it really is inconsistent.

Ah transparency!

I always tried to minimize my input on the "other" main board so that I didn't get my wrist slapped for putting my travel agents perspective into the mix.
But I have become more comfortable here since not only the administrators seem calmer, so do the posters.
One more reason to be thankful for THIS board?

There’s always going to be envy at every level of life.  I’m probably too old to say this, but Haters are gonna hate. 
 
Hell, I have two trucks (they’re a want, not a need) and hear sarcastic things like “It must nice” all the time.   We hear it about our remote cabin and land too…..and it is nice.   We work hard and have made sometimes difficult  choices throughout our lives to get to the point we’re at financially.  
 
One thing we really like about cruising Royal Caribbean is that even though we usually cruise in inside cabins and get no other add-ons besides internet, we’ve never felt like we were 2nd class.  
 
I say more power to those who choose to cruise Star Class.  I’m glad you are able to cruise the way you want. 

Welcome!
 
This is the "fine print" from the benefits page;
 
 Single members must have 340 Cruise Points earned in order to receive the single cruise fare at 150%. This offer is based on availability with certain restrictions. Ocean Voyage Packages, Holiday sailings (Christmas and New Year) and the months of July and August are not included in this offer.

Oh phudge! Now I counted them and ten are in ink with 2 more in pencil. Royal's "lift & shift " made me do it ?‍♂️

I know Royal was well intentioned when they grew this "magic bean" beanstalk called recategorization codes BUT............the "Who's on first " routine often comes to mind ?

At first I thought about deleting the non post, but, after reading the comments, I think it's too valuable to get rid of.

Ah transparency!

Just keep in mind too…it’s not just about having a Travel Agent. It’s about having a GOOD Travel Agent.
A GOOD TA will work with you in good times and bad.
Also, you mentioned you booked “recently”. I believe you have 60 days from booking to transfer to a TA.

Ah transparency!

Ah transparency!

Ah transparency!

The OBC from "booking onboard" (Next Cruise desk) is supposed to remain valid. As an example, I have a booking that is on it's fourth ship/sail date yet still carries the appropriate amount of OBC (based on category and length of cruise). 
 
But an old joke is that if you want two different answers from Royal, call three different times (Carnival you only call twice for the same effect though ;>)

Here is my Day 1 of cruise ship quarantine vlogs.
 
I'll be posting more vlogs once I arrive back in Fort Lauderdale, so I can use my phone data to upload. The internet onboard is not strong enough for me to upload on YouTube.

Since there are plenty of ships with ocean view balconies, I'd opt for the boardwalk balcony this time. The two main complaints can be noise ( I do think the sliders seal pretty well though) and distance from other venues. Has never been a problem for me and I have enjoyed the 3 or 4 times I have cruised in a boardwalk balcony.

"A2S" is one thing I prefer to have my clients handle themselves. Full legal names, method of payment and dealing with last minute options/choices are all mixed into my rationale.
