My question, which nobody has been able to answer yet (my May 24th sailing has not yet been cancelled so I have not enquired directly with RC as I am sure they have enough to do helping customers whose sailings have already been cancelled) is whether the 125% FCC and OBC can be applied to a sailing that I have already booked.

We are also booked on Anthem in October and have only paid the deposit so far. I understand that in the U.S. you can simply cancel and re-book before the final payment date, thereby allowing you to apply the credit to the new booking; however we can't do that in the UK without losing our deposit.

If we can keep the current booking and use the FCC to pay the balance and also apply the OBC to cover the drinks package etc, then happy days, but everything I have read so far seems to talk about the application of the credits to new bookings.

If anyone can clarify for a confused cruiser I'd be very grateful! 

Actually I think my question has in fact been answered by SweetPea's post from a few hours ago. Sorry!

My cruise is May 24th from the same port. I’m sure it won’t actual happen so I’m just playing the waiting game for RC to cancel. 

My wife and I are booked on 24th sailing too but have the added wait on whether we will even be allowed entry into the US from the UK. If I am honest I cannot see us sailing and am also waiting for RC to cancel so I can take advantage of the 125% FCC/OBC... and then start planning and looking forward to a future cruise! 

I can't deny it, Captain Kate's video brought a tear to this 18 stone ex rugby player's eye!

Thinking of the crews on all lines around the world and sending my best wishes for your continued good health and safety. I look forward to getting the chance to join some of you again real soon...

The rankings on this site have nothing to do with C&A or RCC as a whole. You are considered pre-gold until you start making more and more posting. The creator of this blog chose to model it after the C&A, which is pretty cool and clever, but is not affiliated with any actual programs.

Thanks very much for the explanation.

The Cruise Gods must have been looking down on me as by coincidence on 24th Jan my wife and I booked a balcony cabin on the 17th Oct sailing (the day after this thread started) for £2,887. I have just checked today's pricing and it is £950 more expensive... Phew! 

Hi all

I am new to posting on these message boards and have just set up my account.

My ranking is listed as Pre-Gold. Does this equate to my Crown and Acnchor status? If so how do I update it to show my correct (Gold) status, as I cannot find anywhere to do so in the Profile section? 

Thanks!

I think some people including me think the prices are high, because they kind of are. I do not see anything wrong with people voicing their opinions. For my sailing the water park was originally $99 dollars, then I got an email that it was on sale now for $131.99. How is it a sale if you raised the price? I know for me, seeing the non consistent pricing makes me feel like some of the prices are ridiculous. However, I just don't buy it. I just spend my money on excursions where the prices are more consistent.

We are sailing on Oasis on 24th May and booked day passes at the Coco Beach Club for GBP 52.44 pp. I checked to see whether they have been discounted in the current sale to find that the price has effectively trebled to GBP 151.24 pp... Certainly supports Matt's advice to lock in the price when you can!! Being selfish however, if the price remains this high we will hopefully not face an issue with overcrowding!
