WAAAYTOOO

I didn't expect our certs to show up until this afternoon (according to the release schedule) but they both showed up early this morning.
I spent ALL morning on the phone (we are in Falmouth and I used the ship's phone to call) BUT we ended up with some great results.  I was able to book both Dan's and my Prime comp cruises for B2B SY sailings (Miami) and we were able to get XB (ocean view balcony guarantee) for -0- upgrade as the XB category for our cruises was lower than the 4V interior room on both of our cruises !!!  We are on 3-9-25 and 3-16-25.
I am not a huge fan of ANY kind of GTY but in this case, it will be worth it, no matter where our OV balcony is. Yes, we will have to change rooms but we saved probably $1000 by opting for the XB over a chance to choose our cabin.  ANY balcony will beat ANY interior !
So be sure to check and see if the cost of an upgraded category is actually less than the interior fare, which is most likely what your offer is based on, if you are Prime.

Typically breakfast in Chops is reserved for suite guests and I assume pinnacles. I have never seen it open to the general public. 

Wow!  A response!  And to know now, your suggestion has ended up with all the other suggestions.😁

Great advice.  I didn't think to specify just a gty this morning and the upgrade prices to a balcony were outrageous for the 3 we were targeting.  Normally we're fine with just an interior but I made the mistake of saying we would get a balcony for the prime cruise a few months ago when I was wanting to win a different cabin argument (oops...).
I just got off the phone after calling again and the gty upgrade was almost $1000 cheaper as well.  I didn't get it free like you did but one of our sailings was less than $400 total for 2 so that made the pill a little easier to swallow at least.

I checked and the B2B I wanted was not on the list and I was excited. No eligible when I tried on RC.  I'll try turning it off and back on and see if that fixes it 😁

AGREE !  They made it SO confusing by not making it clear that the list they cite is a list of EXCLUDED sailings.  If I had not already read about it here, I would have totally believed that the cited list was a list to choose from, NOT a list of what was excluded.  Leave it to Royal Caribbean to make a simple thing SO confusing !

"Collection" = "Circular file" 😁

Mine showed up 1pm today. I am waiting on my brother to show up so I can book a S2S, I was looking at a Sy sailing and an Indy, with plans to upgrade them both, so thanks for that. 

@Cactus527I have never done deck 2, but it is only for 3 nights so I will hopefully not have too many problems. I did deck 3 on Harmony once and I enjoyed being so close to the casino but hated that the MTD line often stretched to my room. 
It is also not just SWA but UA and AA in Chicago. There used to be a lot of later flights and also, a lot of direct flights. I can find later flights, but they seem to want to connect only and even flying in a day or two before, I don't want to connect flights......that's a lot of hassle. 

We are headed out on Indy tomorrow and I’m awaiting news on a GS upgrade. Hopefully my luck turns around!

I have filled out many surveys after going on cruises, but I really didn't think anyone looked at them. Surprisingly, I received a response in email today:
 
Thank you for your suggestion! 
We know our guests want a lot of things and we do our best to incorporate every little or big suggestion. I have added your email to our collection to better assist our future roadmapping team as to what we should work on next. 
Thank you again for your input, hope you have a great rest of your week

I'm pretty sure the Chops breakfast is not included for Jr Suites,  it's for Grand Suite and above.

But as we know from cruise reviews, I don't know how helpful anonymous reviews would be.

Actually, Royal Caribbean DID have excursion reviews and ratings but they removed those a few years ago.  Shame really.  I liked being able to look at prior remarks and ratings of the various excursions.

Thanks Ashley, so I am still prime, just starting over... I only need 2500? Wish I knew that before... it's just so fun 😂🤣😁

We got screwed at Check in!  (overly dramatic)   I stayed up passed midnight on check in day, but Royal's IT Department pulled some issue out of its bag. I have been using the same password for the Royal site and App for 5 years or more. The night of check in , it told me my password was wrong.  I was too tired to try and correct it, so I got up the next morning and sure enough thousands of us had to change our passwords.  I now have a 11:30 check in.  We are always get on the ship quickly type of people, so this hurts 🙂
