Ill be on that ship in 2 days. For 4 weeks.

If they cant deliver, they eat the costs for refunds. l have had changed flights from day of to day after. They paid for the hotel and any added cost for the flight. Its basically an insurance policy built into the price. Plus they guarantee the lowest price. Always worked for me. But I am retired and dont give a hoot for changes, and further to that all my cruises are comped through Club Royale. I can cancel to the day of without any financial obligations. If you are a gambler, this is the ONLY way to cruise.IMO

I never read that before. Interesting, because if you book through Air2Sea, it is allowed.

This post is for experienced Club Royale gamblers who have achieved either Prime, Signature or Masters status. My wife is Signature and I am Prime. We enjoy the benefits and complimentary cruises we have earned. We have already achieved that status level for The April 1st reboot date which will take us into April 1st 2024. We both play , but from the start we both play ONE sea pass card in order to boost the points quickly and present a stronger level of rated consistent play. Once we reach Signature, we double up on the other to achieve Prime. After that we coast and take it easy and enjoy with mild moderate gambling, as to achieve Masters, it would take far too much of a bank roll to get there and perhaps not worth the comped Grand Suite. Many times having achieved 8,000 points you now have earned a Junior Suite. You can also combine your spouses certificate if one is awarded. So here's the question, should a "Prime" player continue with the assistance of the "Signature " partner continue to play to earn Signature status? If that is the goal, then getting there has weakened the Signature players rating.... as far as I know. We get an annual complimentary cruise with balcony with Signature status, and a Inside room with Prime. Combine those and you get a Junior suite. When 2 Signatures are combined , you get a Grand Suite or higher. Everybody is different I know, but I am researching what is the best way to achieve their goals. Our bank roll is $5,000 most of the time. Looking forward to some strategies from seasoned Club Royale Players. THX,

Just order the second entree. Otherwise you might be in for a long wait second time around

I always book Air2Sea. A guarantee to get you on the ship. The Royal Caribbean Air2Sea program is a seamless, worry-free way to purchase flights in conjunction with a cruise reservation. Book airfare through our Air2Sea program and should an issue arise, our Emergency Travel Team will work with our airline partners to do everything possible to get you to your cruise. If you booked this yourself or through an agent and your flight is delayed, then you will have to make arrangements to get yourself to the next port. I suppose this is why, many people say book the day before your cruise to have more peace of mind. If Rhapsody of the Seas leaves at 10:pm, you should be fine. Not sure what time they embark.

Sounds a tad pricey., but thanks!

The showers in the cruise cabins are so small,I bring a lazy susan and just soap the walls and spin around a few times!

True enough. I know exactly how to extrapolate from Trip Advisor. I always look at how many contributions the reviewer has posted. In most cases the extreme negative ones are only a "one off" reviewer. ( revenge post) Then I look at the extreme 5 star positive reviews... again , one off" reviewers. and not seasoned experienced travellers. So I try to find middle ground if its there. Apples to apples comparisons. I think mainstream cruise ships are all basically very very similar. Royal seems to have an edge with more "bang for your buck" meaning best value equation. Is it 5 star luxury? No. Not even in a sky suite. You have to go to the ultra luxury premium lines for that... and usually very few complaints. You get what you pay for.... seems to be true enough.
