TXCruiser

Hello,

Does RC still offer the pre-purchase of arcade credits these days?  We have a cruise coming up on Wonder of the Seas this summer and I didn't see that option online.

Thanks,

Jeff

Harmony will be in Barcelona for the first time this season on Monday. 

Nice!  Hopefully my family and I will be there in 2 months to board it.

I've used Costco Travel a few times and their agents seem to be pretty knowledgeable.  I'm not sure if you can request any particular agent but I've always gotten the same rates as what the cruise lines were offering on their websites plus they will give you a Costco gift card per room booked and sometimes other perks.  The other side bonus is that your purchase also qualifies for the 2% back if you have an executive membership.  On our trip for this Summer I should get close to $500 in gift cards plus ~$160 back from the 2% portion for the 3 rooms that I booked for our family.

Well it isn't going to sail....so then the question is do you want/need 5 cancelled cruises/credits or just wait till things actually start back up..probably late 2021 or early 2022 at this point to be safe.

I'm booked on the same cruise 2 weeks later so I hope that it sails.  With more people getting the vaccine, COVID cases should continue to drop.  Less than 2 months ago the Spanish Health Minister was forecasting herd immunity by the end of the Summer.

Interesting commentary on this from Tony at La Lido Loca: 

 

The optimistic side of me says it was an "oops" by Carnival but the pessimistic side says they noticed the uproar on that Facebook website mentioned by the guy on the video and quietly walked back the info on those links.  Our cruise is in late July so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the world will look reasonably more like what it was pre-covid by that point in time.

It'd be a nightmare trying to always know who's vaccinated and who's not when enforcing the rules.

For some rules I definitely agree but for others like the ones regarding getting off the ship when at ports that might be easier to accomplish.

I wonder if the cruise lines would ever give a pass on some of these restrictions to people that have been vaccinated.

This is the part that caught my eye on what Carnival had posted:

We may use a reservation system for our public areas, such as pools, gyms, casinos, restaurants, bars, and entertainment.

What I don't want to do is to go on a cruise then be stuck in my room for a good portion of it because all the reservations are filled for the places that I'd want to go on the ship...
