Yes, I had an email to say my Denmark cruise on Adventure has been cancelled.... That was to replace a cancelled Norwegian cruise. I think I'll wait this time and not rebook anything for 2021 just yet.....
Just had the same email, will be looking to change to a different itinerary as we don't fancy the Jewel.

Just had the email to say our June cruise next year is being swapped from Adventure to the Jewel. It will be a similar itinerary they say but we don't fancy the Jewel so will be looking to replace it with something else. Maybe we will be able to lift and shift but will wait and see what options are out there. This news came the day after being told the DBP was on sale for our dates. Suppose the £700 OBC will be gone as well if we cancel.

Got ours right on day 45 for our trip on 3rd May, unfortunately we are coming from the UK and BA have already cancelled our flights. Just waiting now to see if Royal will cancel to get 125% FCC if its offered again if not will cancel ourselves. Booked a replacement trip at the start of Dec so hope that it's all back to normal by then.

Not to sound dense, but is "Izumi Hot Rocks" on Grandeur the same as "Izumi Hibachi", and is there a "separate" Izumi where I can just enjoy sushi/etc. (and the $35pp credit without the up-charge)?
As far as i understand they are two different things, Hibachi is where there is a chef interacting with a small group and cooking on a hot plate, Hot Rocks is where they take the rocks to you and you cook your own pieces of food on it. Sorry not been on Grandeur so not sure if there is a separate Izumi.

Sounds like bait and switch, to me. Too harsh? I don't know. I guess if you have the CP confirmation in hand, they could give you a refund, but that's not the point, IMHO.
That's how it felt as I would have been happy to take refund as OBC but told definite NO. Had the screenshot showing that it was included but no luck. As I said wife really wanted to go so kept the original booking. Just made up for it by doing a visit to Izumi as well

We were on the 12 Jan sailing and had pre-booked Hibatchi before buying the UDP package. Once onboard and we went to book all the dining we wanted I tried to cancel the Hibatchi booking as I said to them I noticed that it was included in the UDP the reply was "the web says yes but on-board says NO", not allowed to include it with the UDP but as the wife really wanted to go we kept the separate booking.

So the Suite Concierge on Oasis just emailed me and said that Izumi Hibachi is NOT included in the UDP, even though the RC webpage listed above says that it is included .....
Hopefully you will get it included, please let us know how you get on as I'm hoping to be able to include Hibachi with the UDP on Allure in January.

Hibachi is not included. Sushi and other items would be, as Cody stated above.
This is not what they say in their FAQ page here.
The only thing I notice is that Hibachi is not linked to its own page.

Could not fault the steak that I had in Chops.

Yes. 100%. In its prime, Hyatt Pier 66 was a great Hotel but developers have recently purchased it with the intention of demolishing it for luxury condos. The Hyatt charter has been revoked and it’s gone way downhill. Keep in mind that Embassy Suites is just a Hotel and not a “resort”, if your looking for a resort on the beach check out my other postings within this thread.
Thanks for the advice not specifically looking for the resort style but I do like the idea of being within walking distance to shops and somewhere to eat. The Embassy seams to be a better deal than we have at Pier 66 as well.

Thanks for sharing this! Glad to see Ohio in the green. I could see myself having to fly out somewhere for work and toootally forgetting about my passport in the process.
The problem I see here is that you forget your passport and fly out using driving licence as OH is complaint but you would need to hope that the state you were flying to was also if not you may have a long drive home if you can't board the return flight.
-
I see that you recommend the Embassy Suites would you say that it is better than Pier 66?
-
We are sailing out of Fort Lauderdale next June for the first time and are flying in 3 days before as we are coming from the UK.
We have booked into Pier 66 and are looking forward to getting onto Harmony for the Eastern cruise.

Sorry to jump in on something a little different...do you know if they have flavored red bull cans or is it just red bull original?
Not sure about Liberty but on Oasis and Rhapsody they also had Yellow (Tropical) Red Bull cans as well as sugar free so I would think it would be the same.

I'm thinking it might be nice to do Wonderland twice to be able to try most of the items offered - between the two of us I see no way to try everything in one sitting.
Not sure that you can do Wonderland twice. Last year on Anthem we were told that you could only visit it once, all other restaurants you can visit more than once.

Just checked my cruise planner and found the beverage packages to be reduced.
The Refreshment package is down from £20.40 to £13.68 and the Deluxe package reduced from £41.80 to £34.20 both prices +18% gratuity. This makes the Deluxe package around $44.50 at today's conversion rate.
This is for our 16th June 2018 sailing on Harmony.

I haven't had one on a cruise yet, just googled the ingredients and the red part is strawberry and the white part is banana. So the mango lava flow was mango with banana.
That makes sense.

What's the difference between a lava flow and a mango lava flow? Do they just add mango, or do they replace the strawberry or the banana with mango?
They replaced the Strawberry with Mango, did not see the Banana being offered, will have to give that a go next time.

No sign of a reduction on my Oct 15th sailing on Oasis for the Deluxe drinks package but the Refreshment package is down from £20.02 to £13.86. I got it earlier for £14.56 so for me not worth the risk of re-booking just in case Royal decide to cancel the whole cruise as I have seen posts about before.
-
On Oasis in Oct and it's currently showing £42.35 glad I grabbed the deal earlier where I got it for £36.80 both +18%
-
It's being offered on my Oasis Oct 15th sailing £57.75 +13.44% = £65.51
Deluxe beverage package is £42.35 + 18% = £49.97
So £15.51 per day for dining, sounds quite good, but I managed to get the drink package a while ago for only £43.42 inc so will stay with that and the 4 night dining package I have.
Boarding Times
in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Posted
As Matt says its all about boarding times but I have just managed to get a RoyalUp confirmed from a Junior suit to a Grand Loft so now star class and the genie contacted us yesterday and we can board within an hour either side of our allocated boarding time. Bid a low amount on the upgrade and was surprised it was accepted but if we get the full benefits of the star class and I get the refund for the deluxe package and the unlimited dining we had purchased then with voom and gratuities included as well it works out almost the same as I paid for the junior suite with the 2 packages bought.
