Does the FCC come to you or your TA if booked through them? Does it come after the date of the cancelled sailing?

There are several sailings available now!

When I log into my RC account on the computer, when I go to plan my cruise I see everything normal (excursions, drink packages, etc.) When I open the app and view my sailings, every option for plan my cruise says "We're putting the finishing touches on your cruise. Check back for updated information" When I go to the website on my phone and go to plan my cruise, it just keeps taking me back to the login screen. I have updated the app. Does anyone else have these same issues? It's annoying only being able to browse options and excursions on a computer.

My Oct '21 is 7 night. My Feb '21 that shows a max of 50 prints is 4 night.

I want to purchase the unlimited photo package for an Oct 2021 sailing and when I go to cruise planner, there are 4 options. Up to 100 prints for $134, 20 prints for $119, 10 prints for $97 and a private photo session for $159. There isn't an option for unlimited. On my soon to be cancelled Feb 2021 sailing, there isn't an unlimited shown either - largest is up to 50 prints. Are there still unlimited packages available? 100 prints is still a lot and I will get that one but just wanted to check and see first. Thanks!

This is not working for me. When I click that, it's like it is showing me all of the available sailings. I can't find any that are showing as kids free. It may just be me and I need to use a different browser. That's how I used to be able to see it but now it doesn't show that tab on mine.

In the past, when searching the RC site, it would give an option to search by sailings going to Cococay or search by sailings that offer free kids. Are you all able to see those options still? I don't and am trying to see if it's just my browser - or if anyone knows a way to search that way.

Perfect. I just can’t decide yet and I don’t want to be a trouble maker for them

If I booked 2 connecting cabins and later decided to switch to 1 suite, what would the process be? I’d book through MEI but I’m curious if this is something that would be difficult for them to do.

Ahhh...thanks. I knew what a patreon was but didn't put 2 and 2 together. I'll go check it out

I'm still semi-new here and I have seen the word insider before but not sure what it is or that it's something you "become". I'll have to do a little research now

Yes! I think I’ve read every live blog on here throughout the last few months. I’m not sailing until February so I’ll need these blogs to get me through

Thank you! Yes this helps a ton. We’re going to choose the loft. Thank you everyone for your help!

So there’s 9 OS (throughout floors 14, 11 and 10) and 18 CLS available so there’s a lot of options to choose from. The bidet may be the selling point though.....since we got one for home, it’s hard going places without it

There are a good number of lofts available so I would definitely choose one that’s facing the ocean. If we weren’t bringing the kids I would choose the loft. I’m just debating if the extra space is more important than the extra bathroom.

I’m looking at an Oasis 7 night Western Caribbean sailing. It would be 2 adults and 2 kids (14 and 6). I get the loft is on 17 so close to the lounge and CK and the additional bathroom is a HUGE plus. From what I’ve seen in photos and video walkthroughs, the OS is larger with larger balcony, plus I like the fact it has a large table so we could eat in room more comfortably. We will be sailing on Allure in a 2 bedroom AQ a few months before this one. Which would you pick?

One of our local school districts sent out a survey of several different options of the upcoming school year and none of the options really affected the actual calendar days. I’m really curious to see what happens with our district. I also really wish we would go to year round so it’ll be easier to plan vacations.

I'm really enjoying all of the inexpensive restaurant family meal deals. I really don't like cooking

As an update....I didn't really sleep. I'm going to be running off 2 hours tops today. Good thing my boss is out of town for the next 2 weeks

I really want to eventually do a holiday cruise. I love Halloween and I'm sure that will be a great one! We really lucked out in the dates for this one. 2 of our kids are in school and the "projected future draft" 2021/2022 school calendar has them out for this week. When we went in November we took 1 out of school (little one hasn't started yet) and I won't make it a habit of missing school for vacation. Our go-to vacations have been a week at the beach or in the mountains. I 100% knew I was hooked the second I stepped on the first ship. The bedrooms are the reason I wanted this one

She really is! Our first cruise I had no idea what I was doing and booked through a friend of a friend on Facebook. We were put in an upper/lower bunk type. First vacation with no kids and that’s what she put us in. I cried for a few days before finding out I could upgrade....through her and after a entirely too much money of course. Second cruise I booked through a different agent and we were going with other family members. It took so long to get her to answer emails to change our dining that it ended up being too late to be able to sit with the rest of the family. I’

Yeah I probably should have added more details General cruising backstory: Feb ‘19 was our first cruise ever, which was a 4 day inside with Carnival. It was just DH and myself. Kids stayed home and it was our first trip leaving them. One of our kids had never even stayed the night away from us. But the trip was amazing and getting out of “mommy mode” was really amazing. I was hooked. Nov ‘19 was our first with the kids and with Royal. Still an inside, but going from Carnival Elation to Indy was quite a shock. We should have been on one April ‘20 with the kids for spring break and then ano

Actually, it will be our first non-inside cabin. I have spent all day today reading every live blog I could find and now I don’t know how I’m going to be able to get any sleep for the next 500+ days. Hopefully I don’t get fired between now and then for lack of getting actual work done at work

I’m wanting to go ahead and book for 2021. The current KSF promotion is through 2020. It states new bookings only. Could I book now and if a later promotion fits my dates, could I cancel and then rebook the exact same room using the promotion? I know that the promotion isn’t guaranteed to even happen again and I know my dates could possibly not be included. But assuming all of that is true, it is possible?

I know that if you’re in a suite and go to Labadee, there is a separate location with cabanas for suite guests. Are there other off ship locations or excursions where being in a suite has benefits?
