Currently, I have a Ocean view Balcony comp cruise booked for solo.  All the Port Taxes & Gratuity is paid for.  Can I call in and upgrade to a Jr. Suite or is too late?  Will I still get 3 x bonus points since I travel solo?  Or they will only consider as a double points?  Anyone ever try it?  Booked a comp cruise and everything is paid for, and a month later call in and upgrade to a Jr. suite.  I know I have to paid for upgrade fee.  Will I still get 3x points?

Thanks

Hi all, hoping someone may be able to assist with a couple of queries I have about The Key when travelling on Quantum of the Seas.

Specifically these benefits:

• VOOM ® Surf & Stream 1 Device high speed internet.
• Given I have to buy The Key for both my wife and I, does this mean we will both get a VOOM package, so no added internet purchase is needed?

• Priority departure at tender ports of call from ship-to-shore.
• Is the boarding priority strictly ship to shore, or, when returning from the port, do we also get priority boarding?
• Seats in the exclusive VIP seating section at shows in the Main Theatre, Aqua Theater, Studio B and Two70.
• Are these seats in a great location, or should we use them only if we can't find better seats ourselves?
• On debarkation day, enjoy an exclusive à la carte breakfast and choice departure.
• Does this mean we get to choose a departure time of our preference and not an 'assigned time'?

Appreciate any responses... thanks

Remember on embarkation you get chop grill's lunch and on debarkation specialty breakfast.  Both at main dining room.

Hey everyone!

My wife, 1 year old daughter and I will be coming down from Buffalo for this cruise. I’m a first timer and my wife hasn’t been on a cruise since she was a girl. We are very much looking forward to a break from the Buffalo winter. 
 

We are looking forward to meeting people and seeing all that Anthem of the Seas has to offer!

Welcome aboard!!!

We rented an AirBNB a few blocks from the port. 32nd floor of a high rise...the view was incredible. Gas Town and a ton of bars and restaurants were walkable. Took UBER everywhere else, including to and from the airport and cruise terminal.

Fantastic city!

Do you remember which host?  I am looking at their site.  I see same picture with different host and location.  Not sure those are real pic or not.

For those of you that have book this cruise.  Spectras Cabaret is available on the planner to reserve!!!

Just booked this cruise today.  Anyone else?

Adventure

Anthem - 1x and Booked (Feb 23 & April 23)

Ovation - Booked (May 23)

I think Royal Caribbean currently has 24 ships in service.

I got to looking at my history and determined I have been on 11 different RC ships.

Then I determined 3 of the ships have been sold to other cruise lines including Empress, Legend and Majesty.

So I have only been on 8 of the current ships.

I thought it would be (for us anyway) a somewhat lofty goal to sail at least once on every current ship so only 16 more (17 with Icon coming on line) to go :).

I searched around the web for a bit to see if anyone was claiming to have sailed the entire fleet but did not find anything. I am sure there are a few out there somewhere. Maybe even here.

 

The current fleet includes:

Adventure of the Seas
Allure of the Seas
Anthem of the Seas
Brilliance of the Seas
Enchantment of the Seas
Explorer of the Seas
Freedom of the Seas
Grandeur of the Seas
Harmony of the Seas
Independence of the Seas
Jewel of the Seas
Liberty of the Seas
Mariner of the Seas
Navigator of the Seas
Oasis of the Seas
Ovation of the Seas
Quantum of the Seas
Radiance of the Seas
Rhapsody of the Seas
Serenade of the Seas
Spectrum of the Seas
Symphony of the Seas
Vision of the Seas
Voyager of the Seas

You miss Wonder of the Seas

I'm on the April one. To be honest, I wouldn't mind skipping Miami in exchange for extra time in PC as we're visiting the space centre. But assuming this is in response to that mess, there's no reason for them to change our itinerary. 

Come to think of it, I don't mind if they are taking Miami out also.  It mean extra sea day.  Casino will be open.. lolz

I wonder if this is a direct result of the customs debacle a few weeks back?

I believe so..  But it will start 2024.  I have two Anthem coming up, Feb & April, both will still stop at Miami.  But thank god is after Orlando.  Hopefully that Itinerary stay the way it is...

When we cancelled our water package when the sale started the refund happened in 2 days but still nothing on the Refreshment packages, so looking for an idea of length it takes them? I figure they are overwhelmed with the sale ?

During the Black Friday sale, I order the internet package.  Saw the price drop and cancel and place order again.   I didn't see any refund on Sunday, I called, the lady said it takes up to 10 days to get the refund.  Today I check, refund was issued today.  I guess it takes up 10 days.  If after 10 days, you still haven't see your refund, I would suggest to call in to check.

Just got off this ship this past Sunday, Love it.  Really enjoy the time  there..  Can't wait till Feb to get back on... 

Hi Currently on Anthem of the sea.  Nov 20 to Nov 27.

Here's the show.

I order the Voom Surf and Stream and enter my cc info.  It kept saying please make sure I enter correctly.  I try 5 times and it still said please enter info correctly.   I checked my cc online it went thru 5 times, and it still wouldn't go thru. This is a nightmare.  Been trying to purchased something since this morning.

cruise planner is back up! (at least for some of us )

It's still down for me here..

holy cow we can get back in with the cruise planner!

but yikes the key and voom are NOT well priced

eta: on the plus side, i did repurchase the octopus set for $12 less!

I check The key for my other 3 bookings.  Original price is $41.99 now is either 30% or 35% off to $28.99 per day.  Not worth it, I was hoping for less than $20 a day.  Also.  Voom Surf + Stream can not be purchased.  It's grey out.

I can't access any of my 4 booking.

RESOLVED!  Phew!   I logged out and back in about four times and then miraculously they reappeared. 

We have four upcoming cruises scheduled and I just tried to log in to check something and none of them are showing on the app nor if I log in online to the cruise planner.   Eeek!

Anyone else having this issue?

Hi Yes, I had that issue earlier during around noon time.  I had 4 up coming cruise, they didn't show up, I log off and log back in, in 15 mins they show up again.  I think they were either updating their system or there's a glitch.  But I did see my 4 up coming cruise in my account.
