  1. We were just there on May 24th. The garage was only open for handicap tags. We got there at 10:15 for first boarding of 11:00. I have a handicap tag so could use the garage and they handed out cards with the QR code for Metropolis app. Lots of empty space in garage so I don't know why it wasn't opened. After I parked I realized I had left my backpack with all our travel documents back at our hotel. When you leave the garage the app automatically charges you. It showed I was there only 10 min and was a zero charge. When I got back around 11:15 the garage was still only open for handicap, it never did open for this cruise. Celebrity was there the next day, perhaps saving the space for them? When we exited after the cruise same automatic charge $150 for a 5 day cruise. Where they were sending people to park was quite a ways away though.
  2. I was going through my cruises and checking cruise planners. When I looked at my Legend cruise it is offering Perfect Day options? We don't go there, I suspect it's the typical IT mistake, or do they know something?
  3. This is going to be irritating. When I cruise with my wife we get 5 vouchers each. She doesn't drink alcohol or carbonated beverages so I use her five vouchers. I usually have two or three left at the end of the night and would grab some Truly for the cabin to enjoy on the balcony. My son gets 5 vouchers so he may share these as well. I also like to get some at disembarkation to take to the hotel, makes waiting for our room in the lobby go easier.
  4. We got one of those "Your Cruise has been chartered" emails and I was panicked until I read through it. Basically they have changed the itinerary and added two days to the cruise. I had the option to just stay on at now extra charge. The weird thing was that they switched our cabin, an accessible JS from port to starboard same cabin. So for the same fare as our 8 day we get two more days.
  5. I’m on Odyssey now. One balcony chair is zip tied and the other isn’t. I like the zip tied one and my son likes the other. You do have to be careful not to fully incline.
  6. Ahh on board Odyssey having that first drink in the solarium, no problem at all so all is the anxiety for nothing
  7. RCL math continues to amaze me. Since I booked/cancelled/rebooked CP items for three of my upcoming cruises I'm playing the accounting game trying to keep track of everything. I just spent about an hour going through my records trying to figure out two CC credits I got yesterday. 38.99 and 36.99, at first I thought they had cancelled my cooler bag with Truly as that was 38.99 but then what was the 36.99. I finally figured out that they totaled 75.98 which was a North Star that I cancelled. I'm always irked that they break up refunds buy dividing the total to each guest as if you actually pay it individually. But how they manage to divide 75.98 and come up with two different values instead of just 37.99. I've added keeping track of how I paid for things CC or OBC and then tracking when I cancel and when I get the actual refund. Oh and to help with the confusion two of my purchases I never received email confirmations. Well it keeps me entertained some of the time
  8. Last Feb they cancelled all my CP purchases and credited me OBC. Then the next day they used all the OBC to repurchase everything but under my son's name which made it cumbersome to rebook things, he would first have to cancel so I could repurchase. Then when I went to make final payment I requested an updated invoice. It stated that I had only paid $82 for a deposit and so I owed over $400 dollars more that I should. I do use a TA and we went back and forth trying to get a final answer. They finally agreed that I did pay $500 down payment and what I owed was very close to what my booking invoice showed. However, they were unable to provide me an invoice showing a zero balance due. Instead they provided a letter stating that the cruise was paid in full. We board this Sunday and I won't be comfortable until I'm in the Solarium with my first drink.
  9. Driving down to Bayonne on Saturday, it's about a five hour drive but I would never trust trying to do it on cruise day. Staying near Newark Airport which is less than half an hour from the port. Rebooked 4 different things with the Black Friday sales, didn't save allot but it all helps.
  10. I just cancelled/rebooked 4 things for my cruise next week with no problems. However I think most of them were OBC which transitions much easier.
  11. @Steve thanks, replied to the rejection email with the exact same file and it was just accepted, too bad I already bought what I wanted for this cruise from the cruise planner last week.
  12. @Southern Dan check the pricing carefully, You may save more if you book internet under one name with two devices. The one person creates the login and then you can both log in one device. It looks like the combo packages just give you the single device internet price. With just two people you don't save much, but we usually have three people and the internet prices gets even cheaper.
  13. rebooked several things for my Nov-17 sailing on Odyssey. One thing I almost fell for was the soda+internet package. When booking for two it's cheaper to do them separately and book internet under one name with 2 devices. I also keep getting tricked by the pricing without gratuities, you don't see that till you go to checkout. I didn't rebook anything higher but did rebook a couple lunches that were the same. I also have started seeing cruise planner issues, it was very smooth a couple hours ago but is now getting wonky.
  14. I've used the same method to snip jpg of my stock statement and submitted it to the Share Holder Benefit site for 12 different sailings. My recent request is now being denied, "Stock Statement does not show guests name"? I tried a second snip and highlighted my name and go the same response. The stock statement has my name with my middle initial, while the cruise invoice does not, but I've done this same process many times? Any thoughts? I've now sent a snip that includes both the stock statement and the cruise invoice with my name highlighted in both.
  15. I've packed mine in checked luggage the last couple of years. I wrap something around it to help protect it. I'm also not super dependent on it if something did happen.
