It is just a question of how good your lobbyists are. While rubbing shoulders with a complete stranger is not seen as problematic, being on a ship with very stringent cleaning procedures and as much space and clean air as possible is a strict NO NO. May be there are other things we don't know about ...

One is an American company and one is not.

What is "MyVEGAS" and how can I get $100 OBC, if you don't mind me asking... lol

Coco Beach club floating for $1049

Damn   I wish I could get that price..  Mine is still From*$1,699.00USD Price Per Floating Cabana + Pass.  Going with 2 other couples would be real nice, but I guess it is not to be(yet)...   lol

These are the same prices they had 2 or maybe 3 weeks ago.  I need them to do better... lol

Mine did drop but to only $50 / day...  Maybe for black Friday I will get a deal like that.

I get that if I am already logged in, other computer, phone, or if the RCI folks are logged in to my account changing stuff, only ever when I am on the phone asking them to add something.

order the package, and if you decide not to go with it you can cancel before you go. 

Makes sense, I get that!  

Thanks

Does anyone have a rough guess of what a print or digital costs on the ship.  My wife always loves to buy 2 or 3 and I was wondering if a photo package is the way to go.  the cheapest package, right now, is 10 pics for $110, or $11 dollars each.

Any thoughts / insight on photo packs.

Thanks

Passenger has tested negative in his pre-embark 3-5 days out test

I have not found any place around here (South Carolina, USA) that gives you results in a timely manor.  It takes at least 14 days to get the results, and you are superposed to quarantine for the 2 weeks while waiting for the test results.   If RC is going to require test results to be only 3-5 days old they are cutting stats like SC out from cruising!

thank you for being patient with us, I have bumped your group to first class.

Those were the good old days of flying.  It is almost impossible, even before covid to get a bump to 1st class.

We are driving to Port Canaveral it is only a 6 hour drive but we will be going the day before just in case.

This is good to hear. I am thinking this may be a good break for hubby and son from our floating cabana

They will love it!!!   I have only done it once at Disney World with my daughter, who loved it also, and am dieing to ride one again.  I am going with 2 other couples and all the guys have singed up for it.  I am guessing well for my wife there it is not a guess she wants a spa day while I am on the wave runner...   lol

Thanks @Jax I booked a wave jet on my LABADEE HAITI day but will keep an eye on the CoCo Cay stop.. They are so much fun to ride...

This does not seem to be an option on my Oct 2021 visit..

I always thought loyalty point adders through adding on-board purchases or bookings would be a productive way to increase revenue.  Offer a point for a 3-day dining package, or 1 for booking a spa package.  Allows for more immediate cash flow.

 

It is a good idea but the draw back to something like that would be couples could / would end up with different point totals.  May be that does not matter but??

Took my refund 7 days

Just got off the phone with RC and I was told that my cruise does qualify for the 2x points automatically  I booked my cruise on 9 Oct.  The RC agent told me that you do not have to call it will be added.  I am sailing with 2 friends and when asked he again told me they would get the 2x points with out having to call.  So that's good!

Final word!

 

The way I read that site "Loyalty 2X Points applies to new, individual, and named group bookings confirmed at prevailing rates, and existing bookings made prior to October 19, 2020 on all Eligible Sailings."  

Every one almost should be able to get the 2X points.  Right?

Hey if we all call them and ask for it every day maybe they will give in... lol

Over on CC they are reporting that a FB post indicated that Royal is extending the "double points" offer to those with already-booked cruises.  I don't know how accurate that is...but that's what they're reporting.  Hope it's true !

I just got off the phone with RC 5 min ago and they told me NO!  new cruses only.  Unfortunately FB wrong.  So strange that something on FB is not accurate??  lol

Yay!  We are there on the 17th and 24th.  Looking forward to meeting you

When you do a back to back cruise like that do you keep the same room?  Do you have to get off the ship and re-check in?  Just curious.

Just missed each other. We are doing the 24th.

Yup That is how I read it also.
