Thanks so much! Looking forward to another round with the call center ???

Yeah, it’s weird. There are very few excursions up but this was one of them. It almost seemed like a glitch. I bought it and I hope RC honors that even if it’s there by accident! Thanks for the tip on how to safely rebook if the price goes down.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! We are in 8724, because I read some of the posts here before booking. This site is a great resource. I appreciate all of the advice and expertise. I’m sure I’ll come up with lots of questions over the next 22 months!

Oh wow! Ok I booked it figuring I can always cancel if I change my mind. I have almost two years to think about it, lol.

Hello all! We now have two FCCS (or will whenever they process) - a 100% FCC from our canceled March 2020 cruise that we had applied toward an August 2020 cruise (we canceled and took the FCC a week before all ships were stopped and we could have gotten 125%, oh well) and a 125% FCC from our now-canceled August 2020 cruise. The original FCC from March had a use by/sail by date of 12/31/21. The new FCC has a use by 12/21 and sail by 4/22. The email I got from RC about the August cruise being canceled contained the following statement: And, if you previously used a Future Cruise Certificate, you’ll receive a new Future Cruise Certificate. This will be for 125% of any new monies paid on this sailing, plus the reactivated value of your original certificate at 100% of its value, with an expiration date of December 31, 2021 and a sail by date of April 30, 2022. We take this to mean that as long as we apply the FCC by 12/21, we can use it on a March 2022 cruise (that we've now booked). I spent 5 hours repeatedly getting disconnected from the call center trying to confirm this. The first two people I spoke to said the March FCC can't be used for a 2022 cruise. The third person I spoke to said it could. I feel like the language above is really clear that I can sail by April 2022 with my old FCC that I had applied to this August cruise. I'd love to hear if others are in a similar position and if I'm correct that as long as I apply the old FCC by 12/21 I can sail by 4/22. Sorry if this was confusing, my brain hurts a little from all of it! Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hello all - I'm new around here but I've read a lot of great advice so far for our first RC experience! We've been inching up in luxury as our cruises continue to get canceled. We started with a great deal on a grand suite on Anthem for March 2020, obviously a no go. Then we went to a 1-bedroom aquatheatre suite on Oasis for August 2020. Bye to that one, too. We decided to rebook as far out as our FCCs will allow- late March 2022, and we're back on Anthem in a Grand Loft Suite! So, of course planning right now is ridiculous but I'm excited and bored, lol. Here's my question: I really, really want to do an overwater cabana at cococay, and since I have 22 months to pay it off, it's actually a possibility (same reasoning for us bumping up to Star Class). However, I have two kids who will definitely want to check out the water park. I hate water parks, and I don't want to do a cabana there and get zero beach time on an island! SO, all of this build-up is to ask how insane it would be to get the beach club overwater cabana for the day, and also get admission for my kids and husband to spend an hour or two at the water park? Can you do the water park justice in the opening couple of hours? Is it hard to get between the water park and the beach club? I know we're talking about a lot of money (the cabana is $1049 right now for my cruise), and I can talk myself in or out of it based on price alone, but I'm wondering just how feasible it would be as an experience to try to have the best of both worlds on our day. Thank you in advance for your advice!
