I'm in the " @Sharlais awesome!" camp for sure! I haven't snagged any price drops recently, but what I really appreciate is that when I think I see a price drop and ask about it, she'll get in touch with me and tell me whether or not it's actually a good deal given my current promotions including OBC and the like. So, while I may not always save extra money on the front end, I'm still getting my value maximized thanks to Sharla's skills in "travel agent math", and to me, that's good, too! 🙂

I just have to chime in!!  Michelle at MEI got us $683 OBC yesterday for our cruise next month!  LOVE Michelle at MEI!

Wow!  I thought the $700 that @Sharlahas saved us on our cruises since June was amazing.

Nope! I’ve got almost $2400 that @Sharlahas saved us just since June! June sale + WOW sale = mega bucks! 💰 💴 💵 

Shout out to Sharla @ MEI Travel!
She has rebooked two upcoming cruises for us over the past month and has saved us almost $1000.
Will probably be sending her a message soon to book another one... 🙂  (FCCs needs to be spent, we are trying but she keeps saving us money!)

I have to admit that one of the many reasons I'm excited about sailing on Oasis in September is because I'm looking forward to doing exactly this. ?

This thread made me realize I totally misread the FAQ about this, and I'm going to end up with fewer points than I thought this year. That either means waiting for Diamond status or booking another cruise this year.
I think most RCLB readers know which way I'm leaning after I looked at the prices to turn both of my cruises this year into B2Bs...

Right? Sharla and the rest of MEI are awesome about that. For my upcoming cruises, I've basically memorized the prices from frequently checking -- but I always wanna defer to the professional judgment!!!

For my future solo sailings I get 6 points each night. 1 for sailing, 1 more for being solo, and 1 more for being in a suite. Double that is 6 points per night. When this first came out, I emailed Royal just to make sure. Also, previous cruisers have already posted on the forums.
So for him sailing solo in a non-suite…1 for the sailing, 1 extra for being solo. Double that is 4 points per night.

Thanks for the heads-up...I didn't get notified of the change.

I hope Oasis is sailing with limited capacity in September. But I’m conflicted….I really want Royal to get back to normalizing cruising, as quickly and safely as possible….but I’m really looking forward to having that unusual experience of less people on board!

Just booked Oasis for this sailing!  I'm going as a solo traveler leaving hubby and the "kids" ( last going off to college tomorrow!) behind.  
I just traveled on Adventure this past August 7-14  with the whole family and I can't wait to do the Oasis sailing out of Bayonne.  If this goes fairly smooth and I can "relax" as a solo cruiser I will book a few more, to get my C&A points to the next level.  
Can't wait to sail!  I'll be in a Boardwalk Balcony.  Lot's of empty Boardwalk Balconies on this ship so far!
 

Ugh...sorry for the double post!

This is tricky, because you do get a different answer depending on who you talk to. I am working on one now and the online form isn't working because the client already got it. But they are supposed to honor it so it's a fight. 

They didn't ?

And no mention of MTD?  Early is too early. Late is too late.  I book MTD for 6:30-7 every night, just right??
