I agree with all of the above 100%!!!  My wife and I absolutely loved him on Symphony last Sept.  We made sure to watch two of his shows while on board!

Interesting, not mine... 

Did you had the same problem as I did? 

Purchases pending, then dropped off and disappeared? 

Yes, purchased…charges were pending on my card for a couple days, then completely disappeared (while the booking was still reserved / confirmed on RC website)

Now, all is posted, charged and cleared on my card like there was never an issue

But it's not really 11/08 purchases at all

You've canceled them all. 

My 11/8 excursion purchase posted on my card as well I see.

Black Diamond is who I recommend and use https://www.blackdiamondfl.com/

How far out would you typically suggest booking transportation?  Traveling with a group of 8.

I figure I’ll add my situation in here as well.

I used my phone, but through the Royal website, not the app.

I booked excursions for our family on the evening of Nov. 8th.  Everything went through normal, received a confirmation e-mail (which says the 9th) and checked that the charges were pending on my card (Visa, but not Chase). This was the first and only booking of the excursion, and not a cancel and re-book.

On the 9th, I decided to purchase an internet package.  From phone, on website, etc. (all same as above). Again I received a confirmation e-mail, and noticed again that the charges were pending (and saw the previous ones still there as well)

Not until I saw this post first pop up did I check again.  Yup, the excursion from the 8th was dropped from pending, and never made it to “posted” charges.  However, the internet from the 9th did get posted and charged.

Everything on the website still shows that I have the excursion booked and paid for.

Edited:  To add that I’m booked through a TA.

We don't sail till April, so currently I’m not concerned, as I’m fairly confident that the excursion charges will just eventually go through on the card.

More so, I’m just adding more info to this post if it helps anyone pinpoint the problem.

We are the April 13th 2024 Icon sailing and Hideaway goes for $70 per person. Mariner is also at CCC that day. Is it possible that the pricing will be different? 

I’m on that Mariner sailing date.  I have no interest in this area, but I checked my planner out of curiosity for you.  $74.99 is the price for that date.

My wife and I are looking to plan an 8 night Southern Caribbean Cruise (Aruba, Curaçao, CocoCay)

Initially had Late November-first week of December in mind.

Now I’m wondering about late March instead (Mid Dec. - early March are out due to sports activities with our kids)

Is there a better choice on average between those two dates?

For example, I read that Dec. is considered the rainy month.
