You need to email MGM rewards program and provide your C&A number and request a match. Sometimes it is a quick process, sometimes it is not. Fair warning, one must repeat this process every February. February 1st of each tear MGM resets their tiers.

I don’t think so, anytime this kind of thing happens it seems it’s almost always on an open deck, not from a private balcony.

If that is the case (I don't think it is) then why are additional gratuities added to the UDP?

I have no desire to go down that rabbit hole, we all know what happens; I am comfortable with my decision, I have been doing it this way since the advent of the auto gratuity. The OP asked how to deal with the gratuities, I gave a very prudent solution

I am aware, I take care of those I feel deserve it on a face to face basis.

cancel your auto gratuity, no sense double paying since you were charged when you booked the UDP

You were given bad information. No one goes “down the ladder” when they turn 18

It isn't really a D+ rate, its a rate that one receives after reaching 340 C&A points. At this level you pay 150% of single cruiser fare, rather than 200%

No sail No points

Yeah, in hindsight that was a dumb question on my part

Sorry, but no one on here feels there is anything “unsafe” about your current situation.

Royal Caribbean should give me a JS at the price of an interior because that really fits my needs better………….

To add on to your very sensible approach; one of the children is 6, therefore “Pullman compliant” the younger child could sleep on the sofa.

Government agency??? You can’t be serious

Outside of the federal government, who uses your SSAN?
