So this is a specialty restaurant? Dang it should have bought the unlimited dining package!

Could you please link this video I'd like to see this. My TA hasn't heard anything of this. Why would only this TA know this?

Why would it be canceled? It's been delayed already and had plenty of time to get it finished.

Yes you see how many cruises other's have\are taking!? Like @Matt, @twangster wish I could get that much vacation time.

Alaska is a premium destination so everything costs more. It's also a intensive port itinerary consider how much time will you actually be spending in the suite/cabin. Ovation has many activities and things to do. We get a suite because we don't take many cruises due to time off constraints. If you only cruise a couple times a year then sure splurge and get the junior suite. We had a junior suite on Ovation last summer and it was okay but I wouldn't pay that price difference.

I'd have to agree with @WAAAYTOOOthat's a lot to up grade especially when you can use that money for an amazing excursion which in Alaska are not cheap. You could do a float plane ride and walk on the glacier or plane ride and ride one of the dog sleds. Even have a customized personal excursion created just for you by Private Journeys.

Hmm. Don't think I'll be getting those as we only book suites because of limited vacation time, want to make the most of each.

@twangsterthanks. I didn't think every sailing would get this discount. I just tell my TA what I want and she gives me the price. I've asked her about using my C&A discount but I'm so low on the totem pole it doesn't amount to much, more for future reference, hoping to be there by this summer.

When you make diamond the C&A site says you get up to 25% off closed in sailings. Does that mean it's on top of whatever sale is currently in effect? How do you add that discount? Does it price it automatically?

Does this change from ship to ship sailing to sailing? Those perks seem nice.

My feelings are that if you are having anxiety about going look at your options and go later. Why stress yourself? It's supposed to be a relaxing time. I've seen numerous people at work get covid from the early days to now and everyone I've talked to said it was terrible to mild. But where else can you take a vacation and they take care of you like royal does? All inclusive vacation doesn't test you, give you medicine, give you a private jet ride home. Only royal is doing all this. We are on Wonder inaugural cruise and unless royal cancels this we will go. Hopefully it will be better than our Alaska cruise this past summer.

You are welcome.

+1866-955-1173 haven't called them but hopefully they can assist.

You need the customer service number? It's difficult to find on the website.

Ordered mine through eMed on January 3rd received January 6th. Lot is 2021-12-29 expiration 2022-12-02.

No! No! Please don't have azipod issues. Hopefully it has dry dock before next summer if it does. Already went through this with Allure.

@Lovetocruise2002what price adjustments? You watch the prices and call Air2Sea and let them know?

Do you find better fares through them? When we quoted for our trip it was higher than doing it myself.

When I tried to book our flight to Fort Lauderdale from Seattle tried to use them through our TA and they couldn't book Alaska first class? Strange so I did it myself directly. The only draw back I see to have airfare added to final payment is the big bill that comes due if you haven't been making payments. Has anyone tried Virgin Atlantic to Europe? We're looking at that for 2023.

We like handing the envelope in person, nothing like seeing his/her reaction. It makes us happy that they are so appreciative of whatever amount they are getting. I've also had the person be even more appreciative when I ask for their name so I can mention it in the survey. That seems to mean more to those who are making a career of it.

Thank you, did you take a taxi or shuttle from the hotel to the port? If so how much was it?

If anyone can give me any hotel recommendations for Amsterdam? Not sure the price range but I'm guessing $300-400 per night. Thanks!

Yup! miss those perks! Discounts for cruises, hotels and tax only flight! Plus jump seat when everything is sold out.

Book early and have a MEI TA watch for price reduction. I've had a few happy emails saying my cruise went down. But booking early seems the best. We booked a cruise star class for 2023 as soon as it came out. Last checked and the same suite is $9,000 more!!
