Cya all on the cruise!!! Looks like there is a slight delay with boarding on Thursday, just a heads up

If you have the UDP, can you email your suite concierge and can they make the dining reservations for you?

We decided to bid for the first time on only our 2nd cruise. We went from an ocean view balcony to a grand suite on Ovation of the Seas. We bid $1,500pp which was slightly above the minimum. We actually bid $1,000 which was the max bid for the junior suite, which we were slightly expecting to get. To our surprise we won the grand suite. When we booked our cruise grand suites were going for $11,000 and we got the room for just around $5,000 all in. We consider that a score because we get all the benefits minus the double points for over half the price!!!

True but that merge was kinda a disaster for a few years after as they messed up a lot of peoples stuff. Either way I'm looking forward to a combined loyalty program as I've never sailed with Celebrity, I've seen some awesome itineraries I'd love to try one day.

May 9th on Ovation!!!!

If you are talking about the 14 day transatlantic from Miami to Barcelona it looks like it is $824.99 per adult and $213.99 per child https://www.royalcaribbean.com/account/cruise-planner/category/pt_packages/product/Y7OE?bookingId=000000&shipCode=OA&sailDate=20240421

Is it crazy that I check the cruise planner daily?

Resolved

Anyone else have any issues with Shore excursions being cancelled or messed up?

Resolved.

It looks like Royal just released a bunch of new excursions for Victoria.

Yea, honestly my wife and I would of even preferred a different Alaskan port/glacier or adding an overnight in one of the Alaskan ports we are already going to.

Ask for the information on board, basically at every restaurant. The main dining room staff will usually remember the food allergies for your daughter and whatnot. Every time you go to a different restaurant and windjammer you can talk to a chef and they will have the answers you need.

96 days until the first public sailing of Utopia, I would think we would be getting an official announcement soon and the bookings will go live on the affected sailings.

Could improvements be made on royal's end to improve booking....YES. Maybe try contacting a government agency and see what they say. I'm no lawyer but I don't think there is anything to be done. Next time do the research ahead of time or use a travel agent (a good travel agent is free to use and is extremely knowledge for people who aren't).
