  1. Cash can be turned into an FCC but an FCC can never be turned into cash....at least, that's the way I understand it. Back in the good ol' days, you could apply an FCC to a Paid-In-Full cruise and receive a CC refund but not anymore. So if a cruise is cancelled where an FCC was used, the only cash you can get back would be any additional "new money" that you added in addition to the FCC. The FCC will be reissued as a new FCC.
  2. Unfortunately, that is the way it works. Better to cancel now while the only penalty is the non-refundable downpayment penalty. If you wait until after final payment date, you will lose even more. Are you using a Travel Agent ? I have heard of rare instances where a good TA can get them to change their minds in situations such as yours but it's very rare. They truly do not care who paid...all transactions are based on the passenger, not who paid. Unfortunately, this is a very common problem when 1 person books several rooms.
  3. It has been taking my C&A number without a problem
  4. 1. Since the program has been retitled Unlimited Dining Package (versus Ultimate DP) it has been possible to go to more than 1 specialty location per meal....so yes, you should be able to grab something at Izumi and then later, go to a different restaurant. There is one caveat and that is that the restaurants are based on availability so they must be able to accommodate you. The best plan is to make reservations ahead of time so that you’re not disappointed if they aren’t able to fit you in. I feel this is going to be even more important with reduced occupancy (social distancing) for a while. My guess is, reservations are going to be absolutely required and more difficult to come by. 2. Yes, Johnny Rocket is included.
  5. Ugh. Either way, not good news. I hope it’s just a website bug.
  6. I've used both Chrome and Explorer/Edge and it's on both. You have to go past the first few steps of a "find a cruise" to get to the new format.
  7. I still can't find it. Maybe it's a browser thing. UGH !
  8. Hmmm....I was in the "review itin" link but didn't see the ability to go to a different date. I will check that out. Thanks !!!
  9. Yeah, this is the only way I have been able to do it...but it's a complete pain. The only improvement that I can see so far is that you can now review the itinerary once you are in the <mock> booking. Before you could never see the itinerary once you started looking at cabins. I also noticed that (so far) all of the previous military discounts are now gone. Glad I had all of mine repriced while they were still applicable. Prices on my 3 and 4 night NAV cruises were up around 10% plus no military discounts anymore.
  10. I also adore my MEI Agent but I will say....I do not consider it her "job" or responsibility to find price reductions for me. I'm not saying that she hasn't, from time-to-time. She certainly has. But there is no way that she has time to check every cruise for every client every day. There just aren't enough hours. I consider it MY job to find a price reduction and then let her take care of vetting it. Believe me, I have led her on many a wild goose chase on my behalf...giving her incorrect dates, incorrect ships, incorrect YEARS. But she never says a word. She has learned, over the years, that it's just me being me. She does her best to figure out what I'm asking her to do and then lets me know if there's something to it or not. I'm an awful client. I change sailings, I change rooms, I downgrade from suites and then back up again. She once did a price adjustment for me which ended up saving me a whopping $19. I would never have had her do that if I had known it was that small. She chases every rabbit down every hole that I send her way without even a hint of frustration....and all without a dime of commission since Feb (for me).
  11. What I have is a huge update and I hate it ! Once I am in a potential reservation scenario, I have no way to get out of it. You used to be able to click on "Change dates" and it would take you back to the master list. Now, there is no way (that I have found, yet) to get out of the cruise you are in. Total PITA
  12. It looks like there is a new format for searching cruises. This is how the search return came in for my 3 night NAV 6 Nov cruise.
  13. Yes. As far as I know, Royal does not double up on the FCC's.
  14. I’m All Marine All of the Time. My father, 2 husbands, 2 Fathers-in-law, 1 son. Semper Fi !
  15. Yes. You would have to purchase it for the second cruise as well to get the expedited disembarkation for the second leg.
  16. I have UDPs booked for both legs of my NAV B2B in Feb. 3 and 4 nights, respectively.
  17. It’s super simple. Just send your TA an email with the confirmation number and let him/her do the transfer ! I think you have a great plan !
  18. Are you sure there wasn’t a confirmation attached ? Maybe waaay down at the bottom ? I received a confirmation email recently and only happened by chance to notice that there was an attachment way at the bottom of the email. If not, I would certainly contact Royal and demand a written confirmation with fare breakdown.
