But one thing I think we do know, they will NOT set specific cabins aside for Guarantee use, they will base it on numbers sold. In other words the combination of cabins available will be a certain number when they have hit that number be it by cabin selection sales + guarantee sales, they will close that category for sales. That is why you can be watching a sailing that has 10-12 cabins available and the all of a sudden the next day that category is sold out, seems awful strange, when that number hadn't moved for weeks. Good reason not to delay when you can't make up your mind on which cabin to choose and keep putting it off. Just my observation

current sales at 60% off 2nd Guest have not been combinable for me or maybe they 60% off is more off than 50% off with Royal Math. Anyway I run the numbers, I'm paying the same price currently as a Solo or as 2 passengers. So effectively no discount.

Costa Rica Shore Excursion Choices Disappeared from Planner?
CruiseGus replied to RBo's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
We have a 10 night on Explorer in Jan 2025 with a stop in Puerto Limon, Cost Rica and i have been watching for ships excursions for over month now. There is only one listed and it says sold out. for a day or 2 another one showed up, but it was very lame in my opinion, but it disappeared quickly. The other 3 stops have excursions listed and i have some booked. Interestingly starting after our Thanksgiving cruise none of Xmas or early 2025 have and dining for individual restaurants available to book. Some have UDP listed (expensive) already but no individuals. -

Actually Air2Sea is a Consolidator. "Consolidators have contracts with airlines to buy airfare in bulk. They are negotiated at a lower rate, letting the consolidators sell them for less than the publicly listed fares for the same flight" That is part of the problem in that even when you pick flights from them, they are only a soft reservation and normally not actually ticketed until around actual final payment date.

False Pricing Listed for Icon/Star
CruiseGus replied to nate91's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I understand what you are saying. I see on their search page a price of $274 per person, by the time I pick the lowest priced interior the cost for 2 is $1800. It is there pricing magic, I just hate wasting my time going through the motions to find there advertised up front price is extremely bogus -
Already PAID in full should not matter as long as you're not past the final payment date. I have a 1 sep 2024 sailing and final payment is not until 3 June

Bartender Front of house vs. utility bartender
CruiseGus replied to jtousch's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As most have said, each waiter makes there own drinks in the service bar that is through those doors that you don't see. I have no idea how charged gratuity tips work when you pay individualy for a drink. But for cash tips, generally the bar tenders at the bar itself pool among themselves. Wear as wait staff are each on there own. Recently, seams they have cracked down on all bar tenders measuring pours, last 6-8 months tip or no tip pours are the same measured. No healty pours as experienced right after start up -

Early February on Symphony the specialty restaurants pictures were the printed varity (yes I hate that also) but we had left the restaurant before the photographer returned. They were avaliable to view in hard copy at the photo area. We used are diamond coupon there to purchase one. Future I'll ask photographer before letting them take photos if digital, if answer is no I won't waste my time letting them take any pictures. I don't want hard copies, to difficult to transport.

Typical fly by, never to be heard from again. Btw on Symphony now as well as last week. Crew is marvelous and accommodating. Ship is in great shape. Wonderful and approachable Master, Capt Rick. Things can happen, 2 cruises ago we had no cards on our door, grabbed the first officer I saw, he went to guest services for mehad my cards in under 15 minutes.

Normally you will be lucky to snag the latest reservation of the night if anything at all on maybe a few nights being the first ones there on boarding day.
