We started cruising with Royal in 2001 and we hit D on Navigator in 2018, so "only" 17 years later. We got one D cruise in before Covid shut everything down and were so pleased to have got there. At that time, making D+ looked like another long "slog" but thanks to the double points promo we may actually get there in a couple of years. In the meantime we should get our first ever crystal block on Anthem in September. 

Living in Europe and not sailing in suites means pinnacle is a pipe dream for us unless we win the lottery but we will be happy with the D+ amenities for the foreseeable future even if we can't move any farther up the ladder. 

At what level do you get the crystal Block?

Just looked up my Freedom cruise for November 2021 and is now showing switched to Explorer and doubled the price. In the email I got telling me my cruise was switched it said the price would be matched to when I booked would carry over. I guess I'll sit on hold for hours to get the price match back. My wife and I were really looking forward to being back on Freedom again.

I wounder what this means for my November 2021 Southern ABC island on Freedom. If I try to do a mock booking for November 2021 it's not showing up.

I checked both my 2021 Cruises but only showing up on my September Alaska cruise but not my December Southern Caribbean cruisse. I'll keep checking back. 

Received ours yesterday and we sail on this coming Sunday.

My wife and I have sailed on Adventure 4 times and next Sunday will be our fifth, excellent ship. I prefer Adventure over the newer bigger ships. You can't go wrong with Adventure.

I received this email from the Crown and Anchor Team  on this past Friday for my up coming cruise on Adventure next Sunday January 13th.

Do they still offer LV. out of FLL

I always use Ace Luxury Transportation. They will pick you up at your hotel and drop you at the pier. The cost all depends on how big your group is.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

When we booked the cruise we didn't realize it was weekend before Super Bowl. With that being said the room rates we unbelievable (2 to 3 times more than I was expecting). We settled on the Holiday Inn on 17th St. When I called to book the rooms they asked if I had any points I wanted to use towards the rooms. I forgot about my points and I had enough to book the rooms and still had some left to use on my next cruise. If it wasn't for them asking if I had points the rooms would have cost $262 per room plus taxes for 1 night times 4 rooms. With the savings I was able to book Chops for the group and pre-book a few surprise for the Wife.

Looking for recommendations for Hotels near Port Everglades. There is a group of 8 of us needing 4 rooms. We are flying in W Palm Beach since flights were almost $400 cheaper than flying into FFL. Any recommendations for hotels anywhere between W Palm Beach and Port Everglades would be great   Thank you in advance for any suggestions. 

The wife and I did this on Oasis in June, to me I would not do it again. The Galley tour lasted all of about 10 mins. They took thru where they make up the shrimp cocktails and salads for dinner and the fruit plates for the suite guests and then walked us thru the main galley where the main dishes come off the line then back out to the dinning room for your brunch. as for the brunch, only had 3 choices and never given the opportunity to place a second order, service was very slow. The best part about it was meeting and talking with the people that was sitting at the table with us for brunch.  This is just my opinion of course, others may have had a better experience. 

Reached Diamond on Oasis Cruise in February 2018, did not receive pin on our Enchantment in October. Have never received any pins for the previous levels as well. Would be nice to have as a keepsake. 

I have used the Luggage Valet twice, once in Port Canaveral and also in Miami. Well worth the money!!. Set my luggage outside our state room night before and picked it up at baggage claim when I returned home. Not having to find your luggage after getting off the ship and dragging them around until you drop them off at check in at the airpot makes it well worth it. IMHO

26 Enchantment 

Wife and I took my brother and his wife on their first cruse last September on Enchantment, wife came home from work yesterday and said she was looking thru the pictures from the cruise and said it would be nice to go again. Had me check prices .Just booked the 3 night cruise on leaving in 16 days out of Port Canaveral. Looking for suggestions on good hotel near the port. Flying in the night before. 

When I called to make the cabin change I thought that I would get the upgrade due to the lower rate but not the Money back for the difference in price, but when the rep told me I would get the difference refunded to my card I told him that I thought the policy was that no refunds in price after final payment and he said I would get the refund back on my card. When I hung up I was for sure thinking that I was never going to get the refund back. But 2 weeks later the refund was back on my card. I guess everyone gets lucky every now and then.  

Definitely call RCL, I had a GS booked on Oasis in Feb and 2 weeks before sailing the price for a CLS was $750 cheaper than our GS. I called and was upgraded to the CLS and got the $750 refined back to my credit card. Also had a inside cabins for my daughter and son in law and a inside cabin for my nephew and his wife on the same reservation and was able to move them to a balcony cabin for the cost of the inside cabin. So it is definitely worth a try. 

I believe if you are booked in a Suite, that you will get free pressing for the first formal night. The wife and I were on Oasis the last week of Feburary in a ATS and we got the free pressing.

My daughter and Son in Law are looking into buying a photo package, there will be the both of them and my 2 year old grand daughter in the cabin, it states that it covers everyone in the cabin. So my question is if my wife and I who are in a driffrent cabin take some pictures with our grand daughter will they go into the package or would be have to buy the photos?

Oasis Of the Seas 2/25

Any hidden secretsfor Oasis, leaving the Feb 25th sailing.

Was on Freedom in 2014 for the Big Game as it is referred to, since the can't say Super Bowl. The had a big party on the pool deck showing the game on the big screen. Also was able to watch in your cabin as well.

Sailing on Oasis on Feb 25th, and last Saturday was checking pricing, found ATS and CLS both lower than I paid for my Grand Suite. It's after final payment so I called was able to move to the ATS with a savings of $572. The RCL Rep told me that I would be receiving the credit back to the card I made my payments from. I told him that I thought that once final payment is made that no refund were given. He said the driffrence woud be credited back. I was not getting my hopes up but the credit showed up in bank account on Friday. Anyone else ever seen this before.
