It has always said "48 hours after booking" but I've never had a problem repricing before final payment. Here's the same page from 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20191016205700/https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/best-price-guarantee-policy

I wonder what the decision point was between cancelling a couple cruise to fix the issue vs. taking away one of the most sought after aspects of an Alaskan cruise and handing out OBC to just sail with a busted engine. Meanwhile Quantum is in Skagway today, a port they're canceling for the next couple months.

The flyer. This is what I see Snapshot_of_CruisePlanner_Offers.pdf

It does for me. You might have a cached version

Value. Consistency, even coming off the pains of the restart. Crew, too. They all put on a happy face every time they see a guest. Surely not every one of them is happy all the time for such a demanding job. I've been on other cruise lines and there's just not the same mood.

That's from the British RC site, so things may be different for US bookings

And make sure you turn them over when you leave! In March we accidentally left the "sleeping off the adventure" side all evening and into the next morning. When I realized it I was expecting to get a call from the covid police thinking we were hiding something

I doubt any of the amping features slated to be added would even interest a couple in their mid 60s with one whose health is starting to decline.

A Norfolk stop after leaving Baltimore likely wouldn't move the needle for most guests, especially if that meant losing a day in Bermuda

Here's where I saw the two week range for up to date crew https://www.crew-center.com/royal-caribbean-relaxing-crew-mask-policy-fb-crew-areas-restrictions-and-more

Since those couches are about as comfortable as a slab of concrete, might as well keep them in bed mode.

Usually by default they reset the couch during the day, but we've had the attendant also ask us if we wanted it set up or have it stay a bed.

Kids can only take them if they're vaccinated.

Hah, 10 minutes after I asked the question, the order shipped

My CC was charged right away. Luckily I don't need them until next weekend, but emed took forever to ship last time around so I was hoping Optum would be faster

Anyone have recent turnaround times for Optum to ship the tests? I ordered on Sunday afternoon and they haven't shipped yet.

The only excursion I have booked on a cruise in 2 weeks actually went up in price with this sale

Well why didn't you just say that from the start.

You could also bring a 12-pack of club soda with you

I mean, one could argue you cheated yourself by doing work on vacation. One good reason I'm glad my employer doesn't allow working outside the USA.

The "problem" with offering more than 80Mbps is there's really no need for anyone to have a use for that kind of bandwidth on a ship.

Wasn't your pineapple upside down enough?

Her heart will go on, I assume.
