My October 17, 2021 Oasis is $46 for the DBP today, UDP is $179. 

My Feb 27, 2022 Anthem doesn't have those packages available yet, but the Cabanas at CocoCay are some of the best I've seen recently. Coco Beach club floating for $1049, Chill Island $549, South Beach $399

I found no mystery OBCs, but each of my bookings already had OBCs in place. I wonder if that made a difference.

Feb 6, 2021 Anthem lifted and shifted to 2/27/2022 Anthem. Kept Star Class but lost an itinerary day ...

With the uncertainty that surrounds everything currently, that was the option we chose in order to avoid logistics issues. We are fortunate to be less than 5 hours from Cape Liberty. Not an ideal drive, but OK. Until more restrictions are lifted, our next cruises are out of Bayonne. With that said, once everything is back in business, 2021 could be a big cruise year for us!

Hey Matt,

Perhaps it's time to add another emoticon the emoji button.....GROAN.....

Are you suggesting that meme would be better aligned with the Corny Jokes thread?

Ummmm....where can I find notifications on iPhone. (Please don’t be right in front of my face ) Maybe once someone answers it’ll appear somewhere! Lol 

On Android the notification bar pops up across the screen when you load if you have a notification, but it appears that the icon for notifications is not available on the mobile site. If you switch to the desktop site (assuming that option is available on iPhone) the notification icon is there.

The new look is awesome!

On Chrome mobile on Android, I can't find the account section for sign in, PM, etc.  It is there on the desktop site, but not mobile.  Is anyone else missing this?

Pushing in front of you at the Windjammer buffet.

And then leaving their (mostly) empty Windjammer takeout plates in the elevator, from which I'm almost positive they impeded egress by pushing on the instant the door opened (as was noted earlier by @FManke )

I observed the same disconnect between the dates and the cruise length a couple of months ago. It would correct itself, and then revert. It was all for nought though, everything has been lifted and shifted so I can no longer check the app.

Outstanding idea ... we would be in

Three of my cruises have this:

I saw the same thing today for our February booking. We are Star Class for that sailing ... would that mean we could drink twice as much?

 You would not meet the requirements to enjoy the company's products and that means you stay home. It's really that simple.

I agree, as long as there is no penalty for opting out in the face of evolving requirements.

I have a thanksgiving one that I am pretty sure will be canceled and I am so sad about it. First time Casino gave me free holiday cruise and I cant use it lol. I am spoiled. I live in South Florida so as soon as cruising resumes I can go on a cruise right away but until then I am not booking anything because I don't like having to get disappointed over and over lol. I hope your Feb cruise is a go. I will think positive thoughts for you too!

Thank you! I WISH I lived in Florida (Still in NY )  and I would be ready go right away. I talked with a casino rep this weekend, and I was told everyone is holding off on the comp bookings to see when sailings resume. The floodgates will open soon.

I disagree. I Think cruising will begin again in April 2021. I think there is a reason Odyssey is delayed until April and I think its because that's when Royal really thinks cruising can start. I also think that's why the casino started sending out offers starting in April. 

I think February 2021 is going to be OK. I have a sailing then, and I refuse to be anything but optimistic!

I had this happen a couple of years ago after I was researching on the RCL site. The person who called me said she was a personal RCL vacation representative and offered to assist with reservations. I assume it was triggered by my RCL site activity.

- less body checking for the cheese cake.

Seems like that should be assessed as a double minor

I agree 100%. I always call CR to interact with RCL and have always been impressed with the support. Perhaps my sample set is not large enough but, I frequently call the Club Royale Status number  but find that I am connected to the same reps that I talk to calling the main CR number.

I will take this as a positive! Certainly a step in the right direction. Many more steps to go ... but we need to start somewhere.

Wow --- talk about a tight squeeze ..... they just jammed the Inspiration between Sovereign and Fantasy.  You get a better view of Sovereign with the bow removed.

When I saw this picture ... i could only think of the Carnival Glory and Legend circa December 2019

  It will make getting the Cruise Planner refunds much easier

and potentially quicker. I had to Lift and Shift a reservation and cancelled the cruise planner items first. The confirmations arrived immediately via email and the credit was posted to my visa within a week, which is on our with timing when things are normal.

You can do both! You can utilize next cruise to enjoy the benefits, and then transfer the booking to your travel agent. I prefer the on board credit since it persists through repricing. Also you have 60 days to move your reservation with no penalty.

OMG! It's 2AM, you've enjoyed that drink package a little too much, headed back to the room and the light shines from down the promenade ... SORRENTO'S!

And in this exact situation, I have found that the beverages are still all available at these times. So ... if you want an ice cold draft to go with your pizza at 3 AM ... you can. Not saying it's a GOOD idea ....

Wow, obviously the person who wrote this is not a cruise fan at all. Must have missed the ship in port and/or spent some time in the brig.

Unfortunately, typical in the world of online reviews. So many opinions without any real experience. It is consistent, sadly, with negative hotel reviews from those who admit they didn't stay there or negative restaurant reviews from those who couldn't secure a reservation.

Might be nice to start with Sky and work my way into Star . If I book it I will definitely book Junior Suite as there is little difference between large balcony and that for sure. 

I agree with @Lovetocruise2002 save Star class for week 2 ... but I also wanted to point out that a Junior Suite is Sea Class and doesn't have all of the benefits of Sky Class. My Apologies if I stated the obvious . I've  been accused of that by my sons.

Not empty nesters but we are close.   Both kids would be in college this Fall but now with COVID19, they might still be home.   We had an 11 night Anthem cruise planned for January and our oldest would be home to house/pet sit.   That would be nice but the cruise has been lifted to 2022.

We've gone on several cruises the exact same time that our youngest seems to have a party at our house.....what  a coincidence!

So .... does that mean the party in January is cancelled??
