I was on Quantum to Alaska two weeks ago. I heard this as well. While I didn't try to do any work meetings, the connection was very reliable. So much so that I stopped testing after the first 2 days. 1st test was 9.2down/2.03 up. 2nd test a day later was 9.4down/2.95 up. I never once had a problem checking email, sending pics/video, etc. This was a blessing compared to the pitiful performance I had on Harmony in February. Upload was almost unusable. Funny thing is I remember having poor internet on Harmony even before Starlink was the solution. So it makes me wonder if that just has something to do with their onboard network. Likes others have said, it is a gamble. You never know what you will truly get.

When I was on Oasis in December, I visited the Next Cruise desk to check pricing on an upcoming Harmony sailing. The agent did show rates for both a Neighborhood Balcony Qty or an Oceanview Balcony Qty. Prior to that visit I never saw that option on the website. So if you call they may be have that ability as well.

Worked for me a few weeks ago. I submitted the online form one time and noted 4 cruises. The OBC showed up in my cruise planner about 3 days later for Aug. 2022, Dec. 2022, Feb. 2023 and June 2023.

I'm getting on Independence on 8/29. I had to get a hotel off 95 since hotels in Cocoa Beach were going for crazy prices if not sold out. I certainly hope to see the launch that morning, but also hope it doesn't impact me getting to the ship for my 11:00 am arrival. If it is scrubbed, then I have a second chance to see it when I get off on 9/3. If that happens, then I plan to stick around for it and make it a two day drive home instead. I haven't seen a launch since the very first Challenger flight. This is a great opportunity for a rare first launch viewing.

The website can be finicky on the discount. I never book until I see that my C&A number was captured in the pricing and there is some corresponding discount shown. Just make sure you are always putting it in the field for guest information. There is also a pop-up option when looking at a cruise price that asks for details such as State and C&A number to ensure you are getting the best price. When I booked Oasis for December, I swear I had to enter it and re-enter the information at least 5 times before the pricing screen showed it adding the balcony discount on my rooms. Calling may be best be even then it depends on the quality of the rep you reach. So far this year I'm 4 out of 6 on talking to quality reps. So I know I'm winning that game based on other people's feedback on the various boards. LOL.

This. We were on a B2B on Odyssey in February. On week one we crossed the Diamond point threshold. So we went to see the Loyalty Ambassador in week one so he could "approve/flag" us as Diamond for week two. When putting the information in his computer, he asked if we wanted our pins now. I replied yes because we have never gotten the pins for any level before. He came back with Platinum, Emerald and Diamond pins for both of us.

Never-ending Cruise Sale
dwp10mm replied to cottoncandysunsets25's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Agree with all here. That actual "sale" hasn't changed in months. I've been tracking a 4 day for about 2 weeks now and was waiting to see if any new sale was going to start. Instead, I noticed I haven't received a promotional email from Royal in a week now. Normally these are daily mailings. So either their email is being blocked or they stopped the marketing frequency in the past week. At this point no sales is going to make a material pricing difference in the cruise I'm tracking. So I'll just log in and price it several times a day. For cruise planner purchases, I'm holding out for Black Friday. Only concern is if that is too close to my Dec. 11th Oasis cruise to secure a larger than normal discount on the Deluxe Beverage Package. -

My first post here to tell you I 100% agree with this. Then to my surprise, I had a B2B on Odyssey in February and was shocked to find Terrapin Hopsecutioner on draft in Playmakers. I would love to find something like this in the Pub on other ships. Like you I had to rely on cans of Stone IPA or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the Pub on all previous cruises.
