@teddy Yes, can you tell us if your reservation number now is the same as when you booked in Jan 2020?
-
If you have the same booking number from Jan 2020 now, you should get double. Check if your room upgrade was a cancel & re-book as this may be your only concern.

Yes, and Matt's article has all the info you need. @Happyabs81 Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Forum!

Back to the Suite Solo question... Disclaimer: I have never sailed solo and only once is a suite. But seems to me that Suite Solos are not getting their fair share! If you go Solo (normally 2x) and you pay for a Suite (normally 2x), then why shouldn't you get 4x points? What am I missing? Is there a steep discount in pricing or something I don't understand messing with the point assignment? Thanks in Advance...
-
I thought: Solo = Double Points; Suite = Double Points; and Solo in a Suite = Double Points x Double Points = 4X points. So as an example for a 7N Solo in a Suite = 28 points. Is this correct? Or am I missing something?

@Dani Marie Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Forum. Sure! You can even take away a full pizza with you (pepperoni is my favorite) to share and/or eat elsewhere. Two weeks ago on the Ovation we brought a free full pepperoni pizza into the Pub where they sell food and drinks - it was not a problem.

@RogerC1 Do you have experience with this? I have never seen this happen. My understanding is if you miss your first seating your can get a dining-room walk-up reservation (subject to availability and any existing lines).

Prepaid gratuities question
YOLO replied to 1sttimecruiserhere's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I think there is confusion between pre-paying gratuities (before you cruise) and pay as you go gratuities (during the cruise) on a day-by-day basis. The 18% auto-pay gratuities are required by everyone, unless you argue against it. And arguing against it is a whole other story and probably a whole different thread. -
Reach Diamond Status in middle of your cruise
YOLO replied to Wendy Burns's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
@whitsmom Ooo, what BI cruise do you have booked? It seems to me that Celebrity and other cruise lines have better BI itineraries than Royal. -

@Neesa I like your idea. Maybe our RCB group as a whole would make a good CEO! -

Yikes, you should see the nice Diamond Ring my sister-in-law purchased at Effy in Skagway on the President's Cruise. Diamonds are a thing of beauty! But Diamond Plus is even better... -

Sure, we can make up whatever we want. I was trying to hold the line set by my predecessor Michael Bayley... -

@Michael Bayley - My Proposal: Platinum -> 1 Free Drink Emerald -> 2 Free Drinks Diamond -> 4 Free Drinks Diamond Plus -> 6 Free Drinks Pinnacle -> 10 Free Drinks (ideally unlimited, but understand capping it) -

YOLO replied to Wendy Burns's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Additionally, which I did not state, but implied, you don't get any free drinks for achieving Gold, Platinum, or Emerald. If I was CEO I would change that proportionally... -
Reach Diamond Status in middle of your cruise
YOLO replied to Wendy Burns's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
@OCSC Mike Agree. I do find it a bit odd that going from Emerald to Diamond gets you 4 free drinks, while going from D to D+ and D+ to P only adds in 1 free drink at each tier. Since the requirements to reach the upper tiers is exponential shouldn't the rewards be too? -
I can see trying it once if you think you might like it - then decide if future CBC visits are worth it for you. Yes, prices are way up from what we first paid. Keep on top of Cruise Planner re-pricing in case of a sale.. My wife loves it there and so I will pay to go every chance we get - but this is us, not you...

@Wendy Burns Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Forum! No, but I can give you a big CONGRATULATIONS! -

@LaurieByrnes Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog Forum! We don't bother returning with leftovers. But I carry water all the time in my backpack (which does get scanned) and can't remember having a problem. I sometimes take it off the ship to have with us, not use it, and return with it. Other times I have purchased resealable plastic soda bottles on shore and brought them back in my backpack with no problems. Packaged snacks purchased ashore should not be a problem. Again put them in your bag and have them scanned. Don't be walking in with them in your hands. A half filled water/soda bottle in your bag should not be a problem.

@PatsFanBrian Coco Beach Club: My wife says the steak they serve for lunch w/ aioli sauce is the best steak she has ever had. And I usually enjoy the lobster as I never usually get to eat that for lunch. Yum...

That is assuming that Carnival can recover before it goes out of business!!! I bought my 100 shares of CCL and RCL last year during at good prices and now I'm negative with CCL. Ben reading a lot about how much trouble Carnival is in now. Truth is I have not cruised on Carnival since 2012 when we are on their first cruise out of Boston on the Glory. That cruise was a mess. We couldn't board until about 2AM due to a bunch of issues. We vowed to never cruise on Carnival again. So I am not sure why I bought the stock. Trying to strike it rich I guess...

@Moby Dick Agree here. Book with NC and as part of the booking, have them assign it to your TA right then. I seem get the most OBC and best deal that way...
