Just wondering, if you canceled before. How long usually before refund is back on the credit card?

It's a direct refund If system working, it should be back on credit card in like 3 days.

Who told you that? Anthem is about 9% larger in gross tons and about 300 more capacity than Independence.

I believe the only reserved show in quantum class is the one that's in 270 theater.

Maybe because that was more overpriced than others When I checked balcony. Same price.

What about Celebrity? Any thoughts? Now that Royal prices went up, Celebrity is on park...

Carribean will be released in 2 phases. 1 phase, probably the 2nd one, will be Star of the Seas. Once you see pricing on that, you all would think why Alaska so cheap... Pretty soon enough it would be, sell your car, take a cruise. If it's a good car, maybe even two weeks cruise.

They are all the almost the same pricing. Have you not seen?

That's exactly the problem and the reason for this prices. When people pay, outrages prices, like it's the end of civilization and no hope left, Royal Caribbean and any other companies, can ask any price they want, because why not? Soon we'll see $10,000 interiors. Icon already has $7000 for a standard balcony in 2025 new schedule . I've never thought that not Luxory cruise line could have such outrages prices.

That's exactly what I was talking about, without going into too much details. I was on Ovation, 09/23 $2200, Same itinerary in 2025, but actually with Glacier viewing, it's cut out from Fall sailing on Quantum class, Prices around $3400

That sounds logical and it's time to open Star of the seas sales. But I would think Star of the Seas should be in phase 1... Not after the rest of fleet already on sale for like 3 weeks

Sound like maybe you've paid too much for it. Can you share more info, date, ship, price, etc?

Out of San Juan, not popular destination. And if I would tell you prices I paid for cruises of royal caribbean, purchased last year, you would most likely think I'm lying or insane... Or both...

Yes, probably all cruises are now for sale

I was just going to point that out. Haven't had any price adjustments for like a year. Before it's always was up and down. Like in a store/business. Now, prices only going up. Afraid to see what Caribean 25-26 would be like.

Sailed myself this September 2023, Ovation, balcony, Deck 12 $2200. Booked early...

New policy, prices never go down... Only up... Been like this for months. And 30% is a standard for Royal, which is pure BS. Since they raise starting point so much, that even after 30% off you're paying extra 30,50,70% from last year prices.

Yes, that may be true. But the starting price point been raised by what? 50-70%...

Already seen... Group pricing 2025 is a joke, it's lower than regular, but only by a very small margin. Not even close to what it was for 2024 cruises and before. For the previous price of balcony, can only get inside cabin. Sometimes even guaranteed inside. Pure insanity...

Yes, exactly... If the other destinations will be on the same price level. Good bye to Royal Caribbean. Been loyal for like 20 yrs. But it's just not possible to pay double the previous year prices. Those numbers are just made up !!!

So you're saying interior for like 3K? Thats almost double from what I've sailed this year. This is just INSANE !!! Caribbean should be released in two phases, whatever that means.

Looks like not everything been finalized. Travel agents don't have Alaska in the system yet, so no group rates or anything... But for the cruise that's almost 1.5 - 2 yrs from now, the prices are way too far.

Nope, you're completely wrong with that assumption. Royal Carribean do sell different guaranteed at different prices. When I've bought, it was selling a couple of balcony types/locations And my invoice specifically says D4-GTY.

Sailing about a month after you. Had this problem with only Wonder reservation for months. No one knows how to fix it so far. My agent told me that's it's on Royal Caribbean side. But there's no ETA and Royal hardly admits to it. So no app version or reinstall will fix anything... I hate going through the website. And even on the website, the calendar is blank. So planning is very hard. Hopefully, it will get fixed before the cruise. Since it's literally impossible being on the ship like that without the app and not able to check, change or reserve anything...
