I just added the 2 night last night. Unfortunately I have to change cabins but luckily only one cabin over.

Thank you!

Any thoughts on hotels near the port?

Thank you for the information.

This is my first group cruise also. I literally just signed up after watching this past week's You Tube chat. I wanted to start doing some planning regarding excursions and dining but am hesitant due to the risk of conflicts with group plans. Like should I forgo signing up for my usual Unlimited Dining Plan? Any guidance from the experienced would be great! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I saw that too. I was able to book by modifying my reservations in my unlimited dining plan. Now I am curious if there will be a surcharge and what it will be.

I was just able to book the Royal Railway by modifying my reservations for my Unlimited Dining Package. 2 questions...I don't see any mention of a surcharge. Is there one? Secondly I thought there were only 4 dining seatings for this yet when I did it by modifying my UDP reservations it gave me a ton of options. Are there still only the 6 ish and 8 ish seatings?

So it didn't sell out fast?

Still no option to reserve Royal Railway with just a little over 2 months to the sailing. How soon have others seen the option come available for their sailing on Utopia?

After almost 12 hours, many phone calls and chats, and many hours on hold, I have finally been able to book the packages I wanted. However there is still an issue where they charged my card double for a dining package. I was assured it would be corrected after it changes status from pending. We will see. I am not confident with the explanation I received. Royal was so not ready technologically or staffed sufficiently to roll out this sale today. I have never experienced anything like this with them. And that Auto Assistant they have is god awful.

I am beyond frustrated at this point. I have been trying since early this morning to book Bev, Dining, etc packages. Online site keeps failing. Spend hours waiting on hold and then an additional hour for someone trying to rectify things only to get disconnected. I call back and they want me to hold for another 2 hours and 40 minutes. So I try and do Chat instead. That individual tries to help for another 40 minutes and then says she will call me back. That call gets dropped also. I don't know what to do at this point.

My adult son and I will be on this sailing. Hoping to get my royal up bid accepted.

Thanks Matt. You answered my question on your Q&A yesterday.

I am confused about the news that Allure is testing the ability to make UDP reservations pre-boarding. Am I reading the article correctly? Are you only able to do this at the time you purchase the package? I am concerned if that is the case, since I snagged quite a great deal purchasing my package for my Utopia sailing next May at a great price sometime ago. If I have to cancel and rebook at a higher price to have this option doesn't seem quite fair.
