    It’ll be interesting to see what happens since we booked in January 2020 for an August 2021 sailing, then L&S to and August 2022 sailing….then we decided to upgrade our cabin from Inside to Balcony in December 2021. 

    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.

    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...

    Going solo in a cabin gets double points*

    solo in a junior suite gets triple points

    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?

    If you are booked for the early seating and miss your time my understanding is that no you can not go at another time (MTD or late seating). You’ll have to eat at one of the other free restaurants or pay for a specialty dining restaurant. 

    @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).

  9. Prepaid gratuities question

    I would always pay the prepaid gratuities amount because not only does it go to the MDR, but employees working at Windjammer and other food areas.

    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.

    The current price is $165 PP for our November sailing on the Anthem OTS. Not sure there is anything there worth $330. We have the drink package and have enjoyed the free beaches/pool on past visits. Am I missing something or does anyone else truly feel that this is a must? 

    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...

    @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.

    Btw carnival would be less than 1 year!

    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...
