    Chadster got a reaction from Neesa in Royal Caribbean Optum Store - Testing Kits Available   
    I had decided on going the home-test route earlier this week as I was finalizing my itinerary for travelling to and from the port and decided to wait to see the pricing on the ones being sold through the "Royal Caribbean storefront" was marked up because...well, I wouldn't have been surprised. If that'd been the case, I would've just gone through the regular Optum store.
    Since they weren't marked up, I went ahead and bought a 3-pack this morning. I'm now covered for cruises for the rest of 2020. Delivery has a window between "Sept. 9-10".

    I wore shorts on the 2nd formal night on my last cruise and didn't get struck by lightning on the way into the MDR.

    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! 🙂

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

    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!)

    Chadster got a reaction from MaryCS62 in Royal Caribbean - how does dining work?   
    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...

    Chadster got a reaction from Sharla in Price drop 30 days before cruise   
    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!!!
  21. Thanks
    Chadster reacted to BrianB in Double C&A Points ...   
    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.

    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!

    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.
