Thanks! It's great that you've used Rony's so many times, definitely makes me feel more comfortable. Other online reviews are all very positive as well. I'm going to lock it in.

Rony's Tours comes highly recommended on this forum and we are looking to book at tour with him for our upcoming visit. He is asking us to pay a deposit which I'm prepared to do. He's is asking us to balance in cash to the driver on the day "before you arrive at the first activity / attraction". Is that the standard practice with Rony's? Just asking out of an abundance of caution that I won't get stuck without any transport after paying in full at the start of the tour, as opposed to the end of the tour.

Thanks Mike for sharing your experience! Yeah, I only learned this after I booked through Costco that they don't participate in RoyalUp, which is disappointing. I was hoping to use that. I haven't tried contacting Costco Travel yet to make any changes, so I don't know how hard is it to get through to someone.

Thanks everyone! The booking finally showed up as a regular reservation on the RC website. It looks like it needed a bit more time for the Costco information to be properly transmitted to RC. Whew!

I just booked through Costco a cruise in December and when I tried to add that booking to my RC account, the booking only shows up under the "Courtesy Hold" tab. I have already paid the deposit to Costco with the final payment due on September 11th. But on the RC website, it says "courtesy hold expires in 7 days". Any idea why my reservation through Costco doesn't show up as a regular reservation in the RC website? UPDATE : It's all good now. Reservation is now showing up properly on the RC website.
