CruzOnBye

You are correct! I did it this morning! I cancelled on the website and they put it back on my FCC cruise planner credit. I went from $130 in leftover cruise planner FCC to $320, yay! Now I just need to actually set sail in August!

Aww I miss those too! I also miss seeing all the updated cruise compasses posted ? ...the little things.

Has anyone applied their Cruise Planner FCC and then seen a price drop afterward? Our DX Drink Package is on sale (after I just booked it 2 days ago at a higher price). Should I cancel online and rebook? Or call them? I have never cancelled and rebooked cruise planner stuff before, let alone while using FCC. Just curious what yall are doing in these cases.

That's cool to read and starting getting an idea of what to expect! A couple things that caught my attention- 1. full service buffet. And 2. no mention about changes to their muster drill (unless I missed it?). I'm wondering how they are going to handle the social distancing during the one time we truly are packed in like sardines- the muster drill! I can't wait for RCCL to post about their protocols. I imagine that the cruise lines probably are keeping similar protocols to each other, for the most part anyway. #StillGoing

I have say, I had the quickest phone call with RCCL in 6 months this morning! I wanted to go ahead and apply my 125% cruise planner credit to our August sailing, so I called the cruise planner line and literally had zero wait time, I was connected immediately. I paused in disbelief when the sweet woman answered. It was refreshing after the hours upon hours many of us have had to wait on the phone for our cancelled sailings (Until many of us smartened up and snagged an MEI TA ? ) It's pretty awesome having that leftover amount on my planner. Here's to August guys! #StillGoing

I also received my 125% cruise planner credit today as well. I was happy with the amount. I did see how it says you have to apply it to a single sailing, which I wasn't expecting, but it's totally ok! I know we'll figure out something to apply it to outside of our drink packages. I do have a question as I might have missed it along the lines..let's say, I use it all. What happens if the price drops on my drink package? Normally I would cancel and rebook. But how does it work in this case using a FCC? Do I get that difference back as a cruise planner credit again?

My family and I absolutely will be cruising at first chance. As serious as all this has been, I don't want the fear of "what if" to overrule the possibility of adventure for me. Just as with any disease or pandemic, it very well could hit me or my family at any moment, but the opportunity for memories and living life to its fullest outweighs that fear of there not being a vaccine yet. #StillGoing

Hey! Have you received anything yet? Mine said 05/14 as well, but no emails. Just curious. My final payment on my rebooked cruise is due Monday so i'm like....antsy LOL.

haha! Isn't it sad that we get excited over price JUMPS these days know the possibility it holds! ? Fingers crossed for you!!!

We were on Mariner in December and we had attendants as well for the icecream, which was fine with us!

I've done sugar free redbull and vodka when I need a break from my sugar high. Kraken and Diet is my fave, but I also enjoy a Skinny Pirate (Diet coke and Captain). If you ask the bartender what they have in diet (like gingerale or coke or sugar free juices) they can whip you something special.

I believe when I was on Mariner in December they had White Claws. It might depend on the ship because cruise planner does show Truly in the picture as mentioned above.

Kraken and Diet for me! I've never ventured out much into spiked coffees and teas, but the more posts I read about them...why not try?! I mean, that is what the DX is for right? Sampling... ?

135 days since I walked off Mariner of the Seas and spent a day in pure bliss in Coco Cay. ? 110 days (fingers, toes crossed and prayers being said) till we go on Indy and go back to Coco Cay! ?

haha no problem! It gets confusing when there's so many numbers. Good luck! That's a deal on that drink package! Our sailing in August is only 20% off and still nowhere near the price I want, but hey...things can change ?

I used their email to contact them (see below for links), but I believe the direct line for Cruise Planner help is 1-800-398-9819. Shore & Land Excursions, please email us at [email protected] All other reservations using our Cruise Planner please email us at [email protected]

I love this idea! I really miss early mornings in the WJ, late nights in the theater and full days at Coco Cay!

Yikes!!! That's heartbreaking. We paid $61/pp and right now it's $65pp for August. Gonna wait till it goes down for sure. Our cruise in Feb is $90pp, so praying for a Black Friday sale! haha

I also opted for the 125% cruise planner credit for my 05/11 cruise, but got the email at midnight at states it will be refunded to original form of payment. Like some mentioned above, I didn't think about it, but it probably is just an auto generated email. But I saw that they embedded a link to the cruise planner email address so I shot them an email about it. I'm not worried about it either way, but it would be nice to have an extra 25% to apply toward an excursion or something. We'll see!

How exciting!!! We're set for Odyssey February 2021 so I'm dying for blogs and stories and pictures of those ahead of me! Haven't done a holiday cruise myself, but I can't imagine how amazing it must be! I'm sure all the experienced holiday cruisers will be responding to you soon!!

At the moment, I'd kill for just a Chicken Sandwich from the Shack on Coco Cay....it's calling out to me. With a funnel cake and icecream for dessert. And many a CocoLoco in between! Pardon me while I wipe the drool and tears off my face.

Me too! We rescheduled ours for August, fingers crossed!

Absolutely! I love love love the private island life. Shoot, I'd sail if there were no port days and just sea days! I'm so ready to get back on a ship ?

I rolled my May cancellation to August, bringing me exactly 30 days past the end of the CDC's new 100 day no-sail ruling thru mid-July. We will see what the next couple months bring. I am SO glad I smartened up and used MEI for the first time during my last booking, definitely gonna need their help as we sort through these back to back cancellations ?
