Why should we switch to a travel agent
nickpants replied to chrismelissa's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
My TA saved me $4.5k off list price of my 11 night Celebrity beyond Med cruise. (Website quoted me 11.5k, she got it for 7k. drinks and wifi included +$800 OBC) Even on cheap 3 night cruises she's always at least $100 below website list. I'll never book direct again. -
Port Canaveral is Number One!
nickpants replied to twangster's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
At MCO, if you have Pre, Clear only lets you "skip" the ID check line, then you get put into the same line after the TSA agent. however, once you get past the TSA agent, you are directly at the checkpoint. MCO is my home airport and have never waited more then 10 minutes at a pre-check lane. HOWEVER, if you are checking bags, that will be your longest wait, as you are at the mercy of your airline's checkin line. I live exactly an hour from MCO, and I can drive there, park, and be drinking my first cocktail at the skyclub in 80 minutes. -
AMEX vs. VISA and MC on St. Thomas and St. Maarten?
nickpants replied to jp1's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Always bring a Visa/MC when traveling overseas. Even today in heavy tourist areas of Europe you'll run into Amex issues (outside American Chain hotels and some upscale dining spots) I keep a spare MasterCard in my passport wallet so i always have a backup. -
Can my moderation status get updated as well?

Should I try celebrity and would I like it?
nickpants replied to Paul whufc's topic in Celebrity & SilverSea
We're getting Married on the Wonder, but doing our honeymoon on the Beyond. I'm excited to compare the two newest ships. I know what to expect for each, having the large party atmosphere of the Wonder for a large group vs the intimacy and slight upscale environment of the Beyond. -
Royal cooler bags- new on the website?
nickpants replied to ScottD's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
27.99 for the cooler and soda on my cruise. It shows instock however when you go to pay I get this message: "We're sorry. We couldn't complete your request but are working to fix the issue." The price has gone down a few dollars since it first appeared but the checkout error has been consistent... I'll keep trying -
What does 'sharing status' entail?
nickpants replied to Michelle B's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Additional question- Is it a one time status match? If I'm Platinum and my wife is Emerald, and then she shares her Emerald status with me, when she levels up to Diamond, will i get Diamond as well (Just not the points)? -
Medallion's are a game-changer. Before you even approach the bar, the bartender has your account up and greets you by name. You rarely have to tap or take off your band, as its mostly proximity based. There are for sure some bugs still to work out, and Princess's app needs a ton of improvements, but I really hope the rest of the industry moves to this technology.
