Cruise Pirate

@CHRIS WONG, any numbers yet on the 15th cruise? I head the Prime Minster will be onboard, any chance Richard Fain will be onboard too to accompany him?

INAUGURATION DAY!

Lots of exciting things planned for the Inaugural sailing next week! Hoping to create some good videos for you guys.

I will miss his videos, always a bright spot during the couple years with the pandemic.

I'm sure these past two years have been pretty stressful on him as well.  Probably a few more gray hairs compared to the start of the pandemic.  
Time to sit back and enjoy cruise travel without the weight of the entire group on his shoulders 24 x 7.

I heard that Mr. Bayley picked and will be announcing the first Icon class ship name-
Hyperbole of the Seas.

I have done this various ways.
Booked online or Booked thru Next Cruise, then transferred to Amex Travel and then got the perks. As long as Amex Travel is the travel agent you should get the perks. But you must have Amex Platinum to get the OBC and Champaign/Wine. 

Yes and they have been way handy with the Issues I had with missing FCC and missing Money.

I have the Amex Platinum and already get the perk for taking a cruise using Amex Travel.

Same as mine ... the difference must be the level of Amex card .. Gold, Platinum, so forth

Today has made me realize how much Facebook and Instagram has taken over my life...

Most of the time Royal's left hand does not know what the right hand is doing and people on the phone are reacting to what has not been informed to them correctly. First TA, use them to negotiate this landmine as they have more clout then just a single person. Second do not trust anything RC tell you on the phone unless you see it in writing. 
Part of the cancelation email you got was to move to another Allure cruise at the same rate for the same type of room, I know I was one of the people on the Allure Easter cruise. We moved to the Aprill 22nd cruise while others moved to the April 30th cruise. If you talk to RC they will try to move you to another ship and you will pay an increased fair, I was quoted an increase of almost $5k to move to Wonder or Symphony to keep the room class I have.
And BTW RC will never cancel or change a cruise while a sale is going on.

we went to Nassau last month and seeing it was a Sunday nothing was open except the beaches, a couple stores opened up after 1pm but not much.

The crew does not even know until a couple days before the cruise. Best thing is to find a crew member or someone on the previous cruise and ask if they con find out a couple days before debarkation of the precious cruise. The number ar changing so rapidly with startup and cancelations of people testing positive or deciding not to go for other reasons.

I hope they have the same problem with the $18 drink package

I fully expect the CSO to  be extended through the spring
