How do I see the BF sales I am Dimond C and A is there a place to go other than the cruise planner? Is it automatic once I log in to see the BF deals?

Up to date on the meaning just the 2 or 1 or with boosters?? Does anyone know?

I can not believe my TA did not see this information as important enough to inform me!!

VERY!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! You are correct the Next cruise desk OBC is NOT removable when re-pricing. Called up RCI and got my OBC back!!! Thank you all again

What do you think is it worth calling them up and complaining? Do you think it would help?

Wish I new then what I know now.. lol.. Live and learn! Thanks for the info

I did that on my last cruise for a cruise in March 2023. I got an OBC of $150. and a reduced deposit. Not a lot but I'll take it. The problem is that the cruise price dropped so I called RCI and repriced the cruise. They took the OBC back so I ended up with not real benefit for booking on board or for that matter for booking a year early. I will not waste my time doing the next cruise desk again.

I just got off the Allure 2 weeks ago and there was no testing on returning home.

That is very close to my findings as well

OK so I am going to upgrade my room on a cruise to a JR Suite, from a balcony. This is on the Harmony OTS. With the JR suite I can do the Coastal Kitchen for dinner. My question I have already purchased the UDP, Is this a waste since now I can do the Coastal Kitchen? Should I keep it or get rid of it and instead use it on my cruise in march on the Mariner, that does not have any fancy Coastal Kitchen like places to eat? I guess the real down and dirty is the Coastal Kitchen better then having the pay restaurants. I could just change it to Chops + 2. Your input please Thanks

Ok so I do not get the points but do you get all the other benefits of the new cabin? So if I upgrade my balcony to a suite do I get the suits treatment?

Well that sucks. Other than the bigger room it does not help me get to Dimond... Well that will help in my bidding decision. Thanks

So if I or anybody wins the bid and upgrades from a balcony to a suite do you get the C&A points for the suite or do you only upgrade the cabin?

Is it difficult to get reservations? Has anyone purchased the UDP and not been able to get a seat at the specialty restaurants? Does this happen often? Thanks

Is it true that suites earn double points? So a 5 night cruise in a balcony gives 5 points x2 for the Covid boost giving a total of 10 loyalty points. Now if it is a JR suite I get the for mentioned 10 X 2 for the suite giving my 10 loyalty points. Is that correct? Thanks Paul

Is there a site I can go to to find an easy list of RCL ships and rooms with obstructed views. I know cruise deck plans has a very limited list, but it does not list any RC ships. Thanks

I never thought about it but, Yes I guess I am. I am not sure why but I am. So let me ask this question related to that. After the March cruise I will be Platinum. I am also looking to do a cruise in Oct 22. I read that the pricing is better the higher loyalty rank you are. Should I wait to book my Oct 22 cruise until I achieve Platinum? If I do not and I book before to get a better price would I be able to get the credit for making Platinum after I book and maybe get a OBC or something?

I guess there is an agreement JR suites are NOT worth it! Just kidding. Thank you all for your input on this!

Is it wrong or bothering at TA if I am in the "Just thinking about / Just getting prices" phase of planning a cruise to ask a TA to get you prices. I am only 60% sure we are doing the cruise I am wanting prices for. I hate wasting peoples time if I am not 90+% sure I am moving forward. As always Thanks

I Thinking of booking my next cruise and am wanting some input on the JR suite vs a balcony on the Mariner OTS. I know there is about 64sqFt of room difference. That may be a lot of room I am not so sure it is worth the $500. I don't mind spending an extra $500 if it is worth it, just not sure. It is a 5 day cruise. I might enjoy the UDP in stead. Any way anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks

international waters are 24 miles out from the coast. You are under the state / federal laws until then.

Very true!!

Waiting for them to start sailing again

I am 100% with you on that. I love sitting on the balcony to have a morning cup of joe!
