Sharla replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
For most clients I don't send a Royal Caribbean official invoice- it's so confusing to people who don't know what it is! I just send the travel agency invoice because it's clear and concise. -

Even if the gift cards work perfectly- they will be a pain to use. You (or ideally, your travel agent) will have to input these numbers to make any payment. So if you save up a whole bunch of gift cards then they will have to be input individually. A huge PITA to be honest. People do this for Disney all the time and while I am accommodating I will request that the guest combine them on the Disney gift card site to make it easier for me and the cast member. Here's what I'd rather you do for Royal Caribbean- FlexPay! This will allow you to pay weekly or monthly a certain amount and it's all set up automatically. It would be the equivalent of putting money away weekly once your cruise is booked.

Repricing question for a rare cabin category?
Sharla replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It can still be repriced, your TA just has to call and ask. -
Plenty of people that can walk need accessible rooms. This is not something you should worry about. No one will really even know from the outside that it is an accessible room unless they are really looking at your door and/or peering into your room. "Accessible" does not just mean "wheelchair" and there are definitely plenty of reasons people need those rooms. IMO you're using it correctly. You did not book that room just for a bigger room. That is selfish. That's not what you did. Happy sailing, guilt free!

Royal Caribbean background check
Sharla replied to chrismelissa's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
All cruise lines do run the manifest though the sex offender database. I don't know if they do it themselves or if the government somehow does it. But the manifest is not run until a day or two before departure. Other countries may also run it, like Canada has the no DUI rule and things like that. -

Who here uses the jogging/running tracks in the morning?
Sharla replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I enjoy running on the track when we're at sea and I go like 10 miles in 3 minutes. Eat my dust! -
If you're not in a suite you will get shampoo/conditioner combo. I recommend bringing your own conditioner.

Booking Dilemma, Question, Suggestions
Sharla replied to Cruising Granny's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It doesn't have to be refundable- but it will remain non-refundable even if pulled into a group. And you have to make full deposit, nothing reduced like next cruise will give you. I see @twangster answered this too but I was already typing so... -

How do you know which ports will have tendering?
Sharla replied to FOB's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Right- if you ask your travel agent they can see it on their end. -

Sharla replied to FOB's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I can't find your specific cruise without more to go on but I can see if it's docked or tendered on the travel agent site. Your agent should be able to send you that info. Here is an example: Mon 22Jul2024 Athens (Piraeus), Greece - 5:00 PM Boarding Tue 23Jul2024 Mykonos, Greece 7:00 AM 8:00 PM Tendered Wed 24Jul2024 Chania, Crete 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked Thu 25Jul2024 Argostoli, Greece 9:00 AM 7:00 PM Docked Fri 26Jul2024 Cruising - - Cruising Sat 27Jul2024 Kotor, Montenegro 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Tendered Sun 28Jul2024 Split, Croatia 7:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked Mon 29Jul2024 Ravenna, Italy 5:00 AM - Departure -
You don't even need luggage tags as the porters will have blank ones at the port. So really the C&A on there means zippo.

A lot of sites have price tracking abilities. But what it doesn't take into account is what you originally paid. Our travel agency has a tool that we use; I get an email when a price changes. But it only says when it changes downward, meaning it could have gone up at some point and is now going down but it's still not lower than what it was. While these tools can be helpful, the only way to know for sure is to actually check the price. Unless your site has a way to input the data on the original price then it's not going to be more helpful than other sites. Sorry.

This is true. So if the reservation was made 9 months ago, that means the TA never went into the system to check pricing or deal with your reservation in any way. And you never put it into your Crown & Anchor account, nor did you check your credit card statement. I have no idea what happened here and I will not put the blame on any one person, but I don't see Royal Caribbean doing a price match in this case. This could have been resolved 8 months ago with just a couple of checks.
