WAAAYTOOO

...then you got one heck of a deal.

At least 1 person from the original booking must remain on the booking. If you booked a solo cruise, then there is no way to transfer that cruise to anyone else. Royal (and all cruise lines, I imagine) do this to preclude people from booking cruises when they are “cheap” and then selling them to others for a profit. I realize that is not your motivation but the rule still applies.

Royal Caribbean does not permit any Agency to discount their cruise fares. The only way a fare can be lower than the published rates is if the Agency has negotiated a group rate. It’s possible that the rate you were quoted is an Agency that has group space. As Matt said, be very wary of an online cost estimate. Before comparing it to a quote from Royal (or MEI) make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Congratulations to Michael !!

Yes.

I do this with the lady who cleans for me all the time !

I agree that it is worth a try. One thing that might be a problem is that the Key folks get a different menu from regular Chops lunch folks. It is not remarkably different but it is different.

Thanks, Steph. I thought it was later in the year. Good catch

The main differences between the Allure and Harmony are that Harmony does not have a Solarium pool (as you noted already) Allure does not have the water slides yet (and will still not have them in NOV 2020) The shows are different of course, but are basically equivalent That's about it. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same ship

Well, it seems it's either feast or famine (pun intended) with this. Half the people complain about the tables never getting cleared and the rest seem to have their food confiscated like you. Not sure which is worse !!

Poor thing !

Agree completely with this !!

Welcome, Cindernana

I’ve always had very good luck with the Genies getting back to me within 24 hours. Obviously, their primary attention is with their current families but they have always gotten back to me in a very reasonable length of time.

Have you tried calling Royal see if they would allow you to purchase the UBP and your wife the Refreshment pkg ?

Good luck. Have a great time on Harmony.

This is really unacceptable. Which Genie was it ? There is absolutely no reason to pay anything. Surely this was a new Genie....

Our very first time in SC we traveled with friends who were also in SC. The cabin crawl started in our ATS with food, champagne and beer and ended in their Star Loft with food and wine. All of the crawlers were completely blown away ! That was a great Genie cruise. We had Reyno (the first time we had him) and the boys had Alexandra (who is no longer with Royal, unfortunately). They worked so well together.

It should have been included. Very surprised that they charged you.

Honestly, I think they just make it up as they go. As I mentioned in another thread, we just happened by Izumi one port day to find them open. Nowhere had it been published that they would be open on a port day. I think they just open when they want to !

Nope. You are not permitted to combine points or play on anyone else's card.

Grandeur's not on there, either

Yeah, I think I would.

Wow. That's pretty low. Have they advertised the fact that you are in a Star Class room ? That generally attracts a lot of participation. People like to see those suites.

Welcome to the Blog, trashman. Love your handle !!
