Would someone help this newbie out?  How do you reprice a trip?  What does "get in there" mean?  Where am I getting into?!     I booked our July '23 cruise using Next Cruise and it's linked to a TA, so do I need to call the TA to check?  Sorry, I don't know how/if I can check this myself or if I need to reach out to the TA and hoping you all can guide me.  Thanks!  

I repriced mine by calling royal myself as I booked it online ....if you have a TA they should do it for you otherwise I would look to change them for you next trip....you can check it yourself by applying the deal on the royal website and picking  the same type of cabin and seeing the price that comes back...is it lower than you paid? does it include the perks ie OBC ? I do not know if the next cruise can be repriced maybe @Matt or @twangster can be of help..I think it can if it is within a certain time frame but I may be wrong....I found it quite easy to do and the staff on the phone were very helpful...good luck with it

repriced my trip  for jan 2024  $350 saving and kept OBC ...get in there everyone

black Friday  alert starts 18th for cruise planner was  in my inbox today also early access for crown and anchor for bookings ...just repriced my Jan 2024 Brilliance cruise same suite, saving $350 and I got to keep onboard credits

quantum out of Brisbane is doing 2 nights in Sydney and Hobart in Jan next year

the OZ  December Ovation entertainment can be booked from tonight as well thanks for the heads up

we will always get the coffee card as it is convenient and I enjoy the selections  that are served at CP. If your husband has issues with sugar the staff are always helpful and the refreshment package would probably be more expensive /wasteful for him

 Here is a link to all drink prices posted on this site recently  https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/royal-caribbean-drink-prices

Cannot help myself

It is showing up on upcoming Ovation in OZ as well

try going through the crown and anchor site

Royal doesn't put on these themed cruises.  It must be a partial charter where an outside group is organizing the event.  I would try searching the interwebs to see if the external group is attempting to market this event.  

I ask because I found this on the cruisemapper site under itineraries https://www.cruisemapper.com/ships/Brilliance-Of-The-Seas-720#news and thought it might be official thanks for that though

anyone out there know what an art theme cruise is yet

I think the biggest problem our cruise industry has, is getting workers .

If you have any local cruises booked you will notice the lack of shore excursions.

 I have a Ovation Cruise and it goes to Adelaide and cruise planner doesn’t have any excursions. I called Adelaide scenic tours which usually do the ship tours but the said they can’t get staff and at the moment won’t be doing any.

So I don’t know what will happen in Adelaide as there’s not much at the cruise terminal.

I noticed on the planner they have excursions in Adelaide but unable to book yet.....the old coming soon notice..here's hoping they can get something organised by December

Everything @CruisingOz stated I would agree to visiting I would also add a theatre show in Melbourne as they are easily accessible to the city if you are staying there and we have great talent in OZ ...there is also a ferry from Docklands that shows highlights of city if your pressed for time...Virgin Airlines for interstate travel is cheaper than Qantas but just as good...Have a Great holiday

Voyager has a great suites lounge .You can pop up there and get a light snack and coffee throughout the day  and happy hour before or after dinner gets you free drinks and nibbles...it also has a big outside deck to relax on if you want to get away from the crowds ..have a wonderful cruise
