Yes but keep in mind the days seem to be locked together-so see if they can make an adjust to give you 2 individual days if that’s what you need. Also, the days are 24 hours from start (in sure you know trust-it’s for anyone checking things out), and the fact that VOOM desk is only open for a few hours in the morning and then again in the evening makes this a pain in the next. We were told guest services could activate but for some reason on Liberty they could not so we had to go to Voom when it opened.

Order History - website - missing my purchases - kinda
Pattycruise replied to Eyeonhevn's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
WOW, this is the first I’m hearing of something like this with the OBC. Personally I will not use the OBC due to the Black Friday catastrophe 2 years ago where I had to spend days pouring over bank statements to understand their refunds and adjustments and how I ended up owing them money because of duplicate refunds. Now I let the OBC sit and it can go towards my gratuities. glad you figured it out!! -

Pattycruise replied to Eyeonhevn's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Do you have multiple reservations linked together for that sailing? Or someone else in your cabin if linked reservations you may have clicked on someone else’s reservation to do the booking. their system fires not care whose credit card was used, only the person (name) who made the reservation can change it. A daughter was my “secretary” for me one day as we were driving she was reading prices of stuff for our cruise so I told her to book the beach. The beach went cheaper and I attempted to cancel and rebook, and had the same message as you. My daughter had to log into her account to cancel the beach and then I booked it. With Internet you should be able to make the purchase on your account and then figure out where the purchase was made under and cancel it. -
To the Left of Me, the the Right of Me...
Pattycruise replied to DuckHunter's topic in Casino Royale
Yes absolutely. I have even welcomed the people who sit next to me and tell them to enjoy their big win…within a matter of minutes they get a big win, and I say “you’re welcome”. I did pick a bank of 3 machines one time, no one at any and thought about it. One machine on the right had a mirror next to it so I chose that seat, figuring I was now “next to me”…the machine was great to me! maybe I should bring mirrors with me! -
First day Dining vs. Last day Dining Quality
Pattycruise replied to DuckHunter's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Funny-I has commented to my daughter that the food and bread were fresh on the last day…so the survey would be good! I’m sticking to my motto for Royal “consistently inconsistent”. It amazes me how much things within one sailing can vary as well as ship to ship or even week to week when doing a back to back on the same ship. -
Casino booking offers go through the casino reps. 1 (888) 561-2234 M-f 8am-10pm Sat and sun 9:00-5:30

Call and try and book and see what happens. I wouldn’t ask about combining when trying to book-just see what happens and if they are giving it to you bring it up. I thought I recalled people say they booked casino comps with kids sail free. Keep in mind you will need to pay to upgrade your cabin to hold 4 as most casino comps are in cabins designed for 2.
-
Upgrade the room and pay the difference? Absolutely-I’ve done this countless times. Sometimes the cruise fare for the upgraded room is less money so I don’t have to pay for the upgrade! (I always look at pricing on the website prior to calling to upgrade) the second question-I’ll assume you mean BOGO offers? -buy one cruise fare and the second fare is free? If so, I just did a BOGO on Icon. To add the “paid for guest” was $1040. When I added a third person to the cabin-it cost another $700..because person number 3 meant I needed an upgrade to a larger cabin. Each person on the reservation had a $ amount under their name on the booking-no one showed as free but when I did a mock booking on Royal the math actually added up.

70s Disco Inferno Dance Party

Sailed Liberty the last 3 weeks and it’s been a combo 70’s, 80’s, 90’s. -
reservation numbers for past RCL cruises
Pattycruise replied to happy cruisers 2's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
1 (800) 526-9723 When the AI comes on keep saying loyalty ambassador. Do not enter your crown and anchor number or speak any other words you’ll get trapped in a loop (let’s try this another way, your phone number doesn’t match etc. trust me!) after the third time you say loyalty ambassador they will connect you. Those are the people you want to speak with -
I’m on Liberty B2B2B and sailed her twice last month I’ve been in Sabor 4 of my 5 sailings (traveled y with different people ran time so it was new to them. It has actually been busy. Tonight they were serving 92 people overall-the 4 waiters did a wonderful job. I ate at Giovanni’s last week and must say i won’t be going back. The Osso bucco was cut like a steak. The polenta tasted “burnt, the replacement chicken piccata was edible but not really good. I’d take Sabor any day-especially the hand crafted margarita (if they make it right).

It’s an extremely small chance you could do this. You are saying the ship is sold out for that category though so that can be an issue. There casino would need to have an available junior suite on whatever comp you are hoping to get. You can use a trade in value towards the cruise…I’d ask them to tell you the final price off the cruise after the trade in value is applied/Royal math can be fizzy. If you are talking about an earned onboard instant cert you would lose the booking bonus part (freeplay) if you are not using a next cruise reservation purchased from the sailing you earned the certificate. If you earn a balcony you could potentially book that with your cert and pay the difference to upgrade to a junior suite (if they allow that) but the junior suite would be priced at todays rate as opposed to the rate from when you booked as you’d likely have to g give it up and then rebook it. A lot would depend on the booking agent and their supervisor.

Will I like Oasis after going on Icon
Pattycruise replied to Kelly968's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I’ve done a number of sailings on Oasis class including Oasis-and the other a royal classes. . Icon blew me away. I will say you’ll need to change your expectations. Icon is amazing-the food choices/amazing. I felt it was like cruising used to be when you could find good food around the clock. You won’t find that on any other Royal ship. The suite pool area and food-on icon-fantastic/you won’t find that on their other classes. Yes it’s a step down. That said since my Icon sailing I’ve sailed Wonder (Oasis class) and Liberty (Freedom class) and I do think each ship class has something different to offer and it’s not always about the ship-it can also be about the itinerary-and of course the people you sail with. -
Earned ~ 4000 points in one cruise — what’s next?
Pattycruise replied to TexanTwoStep's topic in Casino Royale
Once you are done with this great points earned continue to check your inbox for new offers that are unrelated to the instant certificate you just earned. www.clubroyaleoffers.com if you don’t see anything (including your instant certificate from this sailing) you will need to verify your information with Club Royale to get those offers to come through. Things that could hold you up from getting offers: Kids on your email Others on your email incorrect crown and anchor number An unusual last name causing system issues…jr, III, O’, etc. Prime number 1 (866) 213-3116 to call and book and check on your account. Don’t book via email-it’s so much better to find availability and speak with someone to book -
Winning money does not qualify you for a free cruise it’s the amount of money you play through the machine that earns you points. Depending on the amount of points earned onboard you might get a free cruise off of a selected list. Your play onboard may also get you inbox offers for free cruises off of a select list via club Royale (royals casino program). You could walk in the casino tomorrow having never played, put $5 in press the button and win something big and all you will have is 1 casino point, for that $1 you played.

I’ve had their s of unpaid balances for those cancelled Black Friday sales that I repurchase cheaper and the refund twice out out of the wrong funds etc. I understand those. Today I was doing some price checking/ purchases for existing sailings and saw there was an over $1,500 balance on a recently booked comp. I checked my invoice and the cruise showed paid in full and the comp code is on the booking. I had not done cruise planner purchases at all, no upgrades or anything since booking it. Naturally I called the casino line and they looked into it and I was correct (you think?), so they redid the invoice to reflect a zero balance ) which it had already shown) AND they said the owed me 2 cents as my booking was overcharged by that h when I originally paid. My guess is that will bite me in the arse at a later date. anyhow, be sure and look at your cruises for outstanding balances!!

Do you tend to order the same thing on each MDR menu?
Pattycruise replied to Eyeonhevn's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I don’t care for the welcome aboard-I end up with the fried chicken and the pieces are tiny. The corn-one time ice cold another dried out-the inconsistency is crazy but someone should be able to visually see dried out corn and not serve it! Absolutely love the Caribbean night chicken, I do peel off the skin though as it’s a tad much on the spice and agita gets me. It’s really the only meal I walk away from the table feeling full. Italian night-used to really like the lasagna but it’s just not the same anymore so I get the chicken parm and pray it it will be cooked correctly. I’ve had some pretty awful chicken parm, royal night-the lobster tail is laughable i usually get the chicken Marsala but usually half the time it’s not good. i am generally a creature of habit but have taken it upon myself to change up my meals sometimes by ordering the cheese plate and throwing the cheese into my Cesar salad. one time I had a ripe pear so I cut that up and threw it into my salad. Sometimes I’ll take the hard boiled eggs from breakfast, or an orange, and throw that into my dinner salad. I’ve taken chick peas and olives from lunch buffet to add to my salad. Maybe a side of grilled chicken into the salad. I’ve definitely added salmon onto my salad. i don’t touch the bread, and currently there are 2 desserts I might indulge in-the Rice Krispie peanut butter bar on night one (but it needs to be crispy or I won’t eat it) and there is some sort of dark chocolate tart with raspberry or cherry in it that is good. -I think it might be vegan? It’s served towards the end of the week on 7 night sailings. -

Pattycruise replied to Eyeonhevn's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I love the chicken and mushroom pie but I feel it’s lacking chicken so I order a side of grilled chicken, cut it up and throw it into the bowl -
It is $5 played earns 1 point, so if you play and never win anything in the machine to recycle through it would cost $125,000 out of pocket to get 25,000 points For 100k points, yes it would be a $500k overall to get there. It would be difficult to spend all of that out of your own pocket to get those points, usually there’s a love of give from the machines and it costs less out of pocket to get there.

No idea. My husband did his but my phone wouldn’t let me do mine so hubby added a second person (there was a button for that) and completed mine too I was accepted and approved within 20 minutes. His was accepted but never approved. We waited over 40 days and he finally found a way to reach out to them and received his approval. It was odd as we both had the same job experience, global entry etc…No rhyme or reason why his didn’t get approved immediately.

If you have linked their cruise to yours in the app then you will be able to see them when you open your reservation to do check in. Be sure to open check in in the APP and grab the ARRIVAL TIME in for each person on your linked cruises. Check in opens at midnight ( or shortly after midnight) but it’s at the ship time of where the ship is currently sailing. once you have gotten each person their arrival time you can go back at any time and edit check in to add the documents, contact info etc. If you cannot get to it they can easily do this at the port during your check in there, sometimes the website opens earlier than the app (probably by minutes) and I select naturalization papers for check in and complete the rest of the required items and then grab check in times, I then go back later and edit my documents (can be edited in the app)

Hey Chad! you are correct-if you book a sailing as 2 in the cabin you will not get double points like you would if you were to book solo in a cabin designed to hold 2 people. It would seem to me you should look at the costs-and then weigh if the cabin location for 2 is more important if the costs are similar etc. I would price the cabin for 1 and note the port fees and taxes part. Then look at the cabin for 2 and subtract the 1 person $ for port fees and taxes. This should give you an idea if the value Is there albeit you are looking at 2 different categories of cabins when you do this-as typically a plain interior cabin is cheaper than a promenade-even if the promenade is connecting. Side note, I had a connecting promenade cabin on deck 6. I prefer this to a regular interior. (I would have preferred a promenade on deck 7 or 8 as those are just cabins above and below but I chose wisely with my options on deck 6) I was just careful as to what was below me when booking. I was in 6323 and it was quiet. I also don’t go to bed early so the late night promenade parties didn’t bother me. See you on Symphony! Pat

Cruise Planner names do not match reservation
Pattycruise replied to Lovetocruise2002's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I’m thinking your crown and anchor number might be compromised? That’s the only thing that would be on both reservations. I know it doesn’t explain why the reservation shows on your name but cruise planner doesn’t maybe call the loyalty department and check your crown and anchor number. 1 (800) 526-9723 Just say loyalty at the prompt, then loyalty again when it asks for your crown and anchor number and loyalty again when it asks for your phone number. Otherwise you’ll be stuck in the loop when it doesn’t recognize your C&A or doesn’t recognize your phone number…it’s a common issue with those prompts! Can’t wait till you figure out the issue. I’m used to having bs on my account, this sounds new -
It’s the annual free cruise for casino players who have amassed a minimum of 100k points during the casino year. Masters is the top casino tier. They also do an annual cruise for signature players, those who have amassed at least 25k during the casino

Is this the masters cruise?
