    You just log into the Royal Up page and enter you last name and reservation number.  There you will find the confirmation.  https://www.royalcaribbean.com/booked/cruise-room-upgrade

    No additional cost for any of the loungers.  There will be 2 cushioned loungers in front of your bungalow and these are included in the bungalow cost.  The plastic stripe lounge chairs can be added for additional seating or the attendant can put one by the water for you if you want.  Those are free too.

    I can fix that! What's your email address.... rest assured you will be receiving emails in no time...they might not be from RCCL, but hey...publishers clearinghouse, Reatives from Nigeria (Millionaire) willing to share it with you ?, pharmaceutical companies and much much more are waiting patiently for that email address ?

    Yes it is confusing but only book 1 bungalow and it is good for up to 8 people.  You will be given a piece of paper to add in names but I never did that and it wasn't a problem upon checkin with the attendant.  
    I've done these twice and have another booked for March.  We love these bungalows with the sandy beach and sandy water bottom (no rocks).  You are very close to the BBQ area and we just brought our food to the bungalows to eat.  If you want to eat at the Barefoot Beach BBQ, maybe your concierge could arrange a golf cart for you.

    Get on that phone as quick as you can. I’ve been fighting with them for a week and so far no real resolution. I’m sailing again in May.

    ladydiinflorida reacted to NS8VN in Coco Cay Question   
    I think that was just a terminology misfire.  The poster appears to be asking if Coco Cay day becomes a sea day.
    Which the answer is yes, but you will rarely find out much in advance.  Cruise line captains know that the private islands are a big draw and make every reasonable attempt to make those stops.  They would almost never make that decision the night before and even if they do they may or may not opt for a late departure.  It will almost certainly not become an overnight stay as the dock will probably be reserved for another ship the next day.  But very importantly weather reports change, it is extremely unlikely the decision to skip Coco Cay will be made until they are at the island and know whether they can tender/dock.  Doubly so when Perfect Day opens, RCCL is not going to want to refund that excursion money unless it truly is too dangerous to dock.

    Tammy Smith-I am responding to you since you said your husband is an attorney for Marriott.  We are on the Harmony on Dec 2nd as part of the Marriott Owners group.  All of our correspondence has to go through Marriott because we are part of a group package.  By the time they released our booking numbers for RCCL, it was too late to do anything.  I was wondering if your husband had any insight into what Marriott might be doing in response to the announcement that they will be going to these islands.  We are in a difficult position because we used Vacation Club points as well as cash for our cruise. We planned for this well over 18 months ago and this is quite a large financial outlay for us. I do not want to sound heartless in voicing opposition to stopping at these islands, however I have already donated to the relief operations and after going through Irma ourselves, we were really looking forward to this cruise.  I don't know how they expect people to tip generously or otherwise support these islands if they don't get off the ship at these ports, which I personally will not be doing even though we have a free shore excursion from Marriott at both San Juan and St. Martin.

    ladydiinflorida reacted to Lovetocruise2002 in Online reservations for Coastal Kitchen HOTS   
    For our Harmony sailing, we were in a GS and it never showed up on our Cruise Planner.  We ended up asking the concierge to make reservations for us when he contacted us a week before sailing.  You can also make reservations once on board.
    For our Anthem sailing coming up, it was strange.  It showed up in our cruise planner right after we booked our cruise.  Then it disappeared for a few weeks.  It reappeared again for a few days about two weeks ago (at which point I made our CK reservations) and now it is gone again.  Strange but typical RC website glitches I am guessing.

    I agree that tourism helps the islands recover as it feels their economies. My only concern would be if tourism interfered with continuing recovery efforts by shifting resources to support tourism instead of recovery. Fortunately, with Royal the emphasis on the guest experience on the islands, so I'm confident they wouldn't be going back unless they thought these issues had been addressed.

    The island is still receiving aid via land and sea and people are living in tent cities it's not ready for tourism. 75 percent of hotels and timeshares are off inventory. Some are closing permanently. Crime is very high. It's a personal and physical safety issue also and the liability should someone get hurt on the beaches or in and around unsafe structures is a serious concern. Hotel and travel companies are taking a big risk by letting tourists back too soon. We were on the island and speak from first hand knowledge and my husband is an attorney for Marriott International. We've changed our cruise.

    I don't understand how anyone can think that this is good news.  These islands, especially Puerto Rico are still in dire straits. Yes, they need the tourism dollars, however they are really not ready to bring in 6,000 plus people, when they are still sending residents away. The latest news is that the locals are drinking contaminated water.  How can RCCL think that this will not trickle into the food supply given to people on shore excursions and simple exploring the island? That is a liability for the cruise line and trust me, they will have issues and face liability for it.  I live in S Florida and we are still having issues from Irma and it only hit here as a Cat 1. RCCL appears to be making decisions based on financial gain to make up for losses that they incurred.  No one from the cruise line has contacted me or anyone else that I am aware of regarding my itinerary on Harmony Dec 2nd.  If I could cancel and make RCCL pay for this and another cruise, believe me I would.  In my opinion, this is with total disregard for the passengers traveling.  I understand that an itinerary change is an inconvenience, but much better to be safe than sorry. Most likely my last trip on RCCL. My only hope is that representatives from RCCL troll this blog and reconsider this decision!! Health and safety of the passengers should be the primary concern-not financial gain!

    One of the best way you can help these residents is to provide them with their island's #1 source of income/revenue: tourism. You're absolutely right the populous as a whole needs a certain level of charity to get things fully operational again, but the tourism business needs a boost equally.
