What ship ? Entertainment is only bookable prior to sailing on Oasis or Quantum class ships.

The RCCL stock OBC is not always applicable and often difficult to apply. Be very careful purchasing stock for the purpose of getting OBC.

Dining package flexibility: use of $35 credit?
WAAAYTOOO replied to FroggyFlo's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Absolutely. You should have no problem changing your dining time in the first night. -
Decisions.... Decisions.. Western Med - Allure
WAAAYTOOO replied to stringfellow's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Lol. Good luck with that one ! ? -
I seem to recall reading something about some variety in final payment dates recently. It's possible that there has been a recent adjustment but I would consider it temporary.
-
That is correct. No daily gratuity for the second person.
-
I think maybe those are UK booking rules, perhaps ? With NA booking rules, a no-show at boarding will receive no $$ refund. Only the taxes and port fees will be refunded. Double points is an enigma. Some say yes and some say no.
-
I’m not sure about this one. I’ve heard yes and no. It’s never happened to me, so I just really don’t know !
-
In general, it is best just to do nothing and allow the second person to “no show”. That way, they can neither reprice your Cruise nor move the remaining cruiser to a different room. I think it is rare for either of these things to occur, but it’s best to just limit the potential bad outcomes. There is no advantage to cancelling the no-show ahead of time (there will be no refund of cruise fare) so why subject yourself to potential negative outcomes for no reason ?
-
I think limiting your exposure for a defined period of time prior to cruising is very wise. I actually never thought about it but it makes sense.
-
No shows are handled the same as cancellations. The amount of port fees and taxes are refunded to the original form of payment.

What are the suite benefits (GS and above)?
WAAAYTOOO replied to FroggyFlo's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes, Denise, you are right. If FroggyFlo is upgraded into a full suite, the price of her VOOM package will be refunded as onboard credit. If the onboard credit is not used during the cruise (in other words, you end up with a negative balance), that $$ amount will be refunded to the credit card used to pay for your seapass account. So the bottom line is...you will NOT "lose" the money you spend on the internet package. It will get reimbursed to you, one way or the other. -
Oasis Denied and MEI Awesomeness
WAAAYTOOO replied to VACruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Tim B. I am so proud of you and so happy that this was handled so quickly, appropriately and best of all, satisfactorily !!! I have been using Michelle Cunningham (MEI)([email protected]) for many years and know the dedication and professionalism that she provides. What I also knew, but have had little chance to share with everyone, is the fact that she is a GENIUS and can work miracles !!! So, #1 I'm happy and proud that this went so well for you but #2 I am SO shocked and thrilled to see that Royal did the right thing here !!! The bottom line is, they had absolutely no obligation to do ANYthing for you at all. But it seems, b/c YOU did the right they, THEY turned around and did the right thing, too !!! This is the kind of good news story that rarely gets shared. Bad news travels far and wide but good news usually gets left behind. It's so heart-warming to know that doing the right thing (as you did) is occasionally rewarded ! Well done !!!!! -
Yes, Private Destinations (I think that’s what it’s called !) can be $$

Yippee ! A new SC blog. My favorite kind ! 1. You did the right thing by changing from the corner GLS to the OLS. While still a corner unit, it will be much bigger. Well done. 2. Yen is awesome. You will love her. Tell her Dan and Raye say “hi”. We just saw her a few weeks ago. It was nice to see her. 3. I’m sure you’ve received this information already, but be sure to keep your luggage with you until after you have checked in with the SC greeter. Make sure Yen knows that you expect your luggage to be taken upstairs. You will regret having to schlep it up the stairs yourself, if you don’t. I love being Star Class on the Q class ships. There are so many things for which a Genie is particularly helpful. Make sure that when you go to see Spectra, you are not sitting in the ver, very front. If you do, there will be activity happening behind you and you tend to miss some of it. I’m so excited for you ! First SC Cruise is so exciting.

You, Pamici and my Dan would get along fine. He is also a single malt Scotch guy. I think it smells like a**. ??

It doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. In fact, you are waaay ahead of the game by already knowing what you want to see. This is precisely the situation for which Royal Caribbean developed the Private Destinations program. I have never done this, but “@Matt” has. Hopefully he can provide some information.

Southern Caribbean 2021-Looking for ideas or too soon to plan?
WAAAYTOOO replied to Va4fam's topic in Shore Excursions
Congratulations! This sounds like the perfect cruise for early January ! 11 nights is a great length. Very good choice. Chances are, not much will be available to book quite yet but it is NEVER too early to start planning. I’m so excited for you. The snorkeling in St. Maarten has always been disappointing, to me. I would probably save that for a different port. San Juan is a great “on-your-own” kind of port with so much history and local sightseeing. There’s a lot of time to make decisions but doing your research will make the time pass much more quickly. -
That's the same message I always get regardless of when I try to use it.

Not every one receives the RoyalUp offers. There’s no way to “get invited”. I have read of others being permitted to bid by using the website you referenced, but personally, I don’t believe it. IMO, unless you get the email invitation, or at least, unless they INTENDED that you get the email invitation, you will not be able to bid.
-
Thanks !!!! Sorry its over so soon !!!!

Internet is complimentary with full suites only on Oasis and Quantum class ships.

I don’t know the true answer to your question, but if you answered “yes” to either of the first 2, my guess is you wou be denied boarding with a cruise fare refund. If you answer “yes” to #3, my guess is that you would be referred to health care professionals who would conduct a more thorough evaluation of your current condition; then a decision would be made about boarding. In either case, it is my understanding that your cruise fare would be fully refunded, if you are denied boarding, if they did not refund your cruise fare, people would simply lie about their history or health condition and that would completely defeat their screening process.

Of course you can comment ! Happy to have you on the blog.

I completely understand the obsession with the Aqua Theater view. It was my first Sirens Song for the “tippy top” suites. In the end, I do agree with Sabrina that the Deck 17 suites are more glamorous, but you will never convince someone who has the ATS lust so it’s best to just get it out of your system. The truth is, these days, they (ATS) are a bit more affordable anyway, so they are a good Segway drug. Hmmm...that doesn’t sound good, does it ?
