The survey is not in-depth and quite generic IMO. They doesn't seem they want true opinions. I do not buy that they are having the highest ratings ever.

Just off Symphony with a COSTCO reservation and when I used the NextCruise desk I filled out the paperwork and had the 2 new cruises moved to MEI and my agent Beth. The cash card is not worth it for never getting ahold of them and Beth is so responsive to calls and emails.

They have a new cast in rehearsals, this cast was to go until June. I’m sorry but I disagree with you as they are doing the best they can and more than likely the next cast had signed contracts in place before they lost so many cast from the current show. Entertainment cast is not just plug and play and it doesn’t happen overnight.

Yes, the remains of the cast. They said they lost a lot of cast but still are able to do Flight.

Spoke to some of the current hairspray cast and their contract is until June so they do not anticipate the show restarting much before that date as the new cast will come onboard toward the end of their contract.

It is not currently open. Sailing on her currently.

I like to call them billboards....they are certainly proud of them and it is quite an accomplishment but silly IMO.

And the prices are extremely high, and many rooms types are sold out. Good for them....looks like a fun time.

My March 3, 2023 7 night Navigator was also chartered. Seems charters on Navigator are popular in CA.

Knew it would happen sooner or later....I personally loved the crew serving but I did miss finding that perfect crispy bacon.

Sorry you are experiencing this and hope it gets better for you. We sail on Symphony in a few weeks, we will enjoy our selves regardless and make the most of it. I know when I was on Oasis in December the staff was overwhelmed with the guests, but always doing their best. Now not only is Royal rebounding from COVID and staffing the ships but also putting Wonder into service. Not giving excuses but the drain is real. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Wow, pay for a cruise but screw the Uber driver. It's an easy ride, just do Terminal A and you are all set. If the driver misses a turn you will get an intimate tour of the port.

It does show sold out for our sailing....weird that Odyssey can purchase it though. Not sure if calling would help or not. Good luck!

This also happened to me in Feb 2020 and I just gave up fighting for the extra point. Crown and Anchor was no help either. I posted my experience here but it was quickly shot down that Royal was wrong.

I absolutely love working with my MEI agent Beth Dickerson. Even though she is my agent and controls the reservation(s) I feel we work as a team. There are times I find a lower price and just send an email and there are times she surprises with an email saying she found a lower price. She is currently on vacation and I emailed her with a question, received an automated email back with contact info of another agent if needed. It was not anything earth shattering so was just gonna wait until she returns on Friday and low and behold she replied to the email from vacation. I have used travel agents in the past and they never work out as they are not prompt. That is certainly not the case with MEI and Beth.
