Yet we still operate airlines and get in a "tube" for hours with other people. That is how this spread around the world, and continues to be.

May 30 on the Adventure

Seems the ships are getting a lot of media, but I am of the opinion that it is the airlines that spread the virus on a global scale in a fast and thorough manner.

I will be your neighbor in aft JS/7394 . I am OK with the itinerary change we got last night. Hope they don't cancel the sailing.

Matt is right about Next Cruise OBC following  you to the future booking. Just did this yesterday with a cancelled Ovation sailing and transfer to new booking.
Normally, you only get to transfer the Next Cruise benefit one time after purchase( I had already changed this one once) However this time, because RCI cancelled this cruise, I was able to make this change a second time. Thanks T/A, done in a few minutes.

May 7 Ovation, Honolulu to Vancouver.....if they don't cancel the sailing or the flight, we are in.

Got the rest of the shares today to make 100. $29 was the mark I had looked at also Mook1525.

Same here, I wash my hands BEFORE going to the Windjammer like ALL should. If that bothers somebody watching me walk through the entrance to the buffet, then maybe some of the people here need to find something else to do other than cruising with 3 or 4 thousand people in very close quarters.

RCI has also whittled away at the supposed "Balcony Discount". Most of the sailings we book are longer (12 plus days) and our C&A discount  is supposed to be $350. If I mock book a cruise with my C&A discount I get a figure, then book without it and get a figure only $188 more. This amount was the last one I tried, the amount varies from booking to booking. I just took for granted that when I was told I would get X dollar C&A discount, I would get it........Oh, it still shows $350 discount in the pricing breakdown, but the other figures have changed a bit.
It was explained to me that my C&A discount was not able to be combined with a lot of the other figures that go into a cruise fare.....What??????

Once you book with the TA, the only way you can get the "Booking Onboard Deal" would be to cancel and rebook while onboard your next sailing. If you book a nonrefundable with T/A, that will cost you. Even if you book a refundable with the T/A, you will have to cancel and rebook at the current rate while onboard.
It works well when you book onboard(especially the longer sailings) and then transfer the booking to get your T/A OBC. You have 60 days after booking onboard to transfer to your T/A. If your current cruise(the one you are on) is through an agent, it will be on file with RCI, and usually is automatically transferred to your agent on file. My agent generally gives about 8% of the cruise fare(before taxes) as OBC.

We tend to use MTD like a personal fixed seating. Make our online reservations in MTD for the same time every day. After boarding we go to the dining room and pick out a nice table for 2 that we like and ask the hostess for that table. If we like it on the first night( service, etc.), we just ask the hostess to make it the same for the cruise.
This may be harder to do for seatings about 7PM. Generally, a lot of the early diners are still there, so a lot of the tables are occupied. I find a little flexibility helps. 
This works well for early seatings, not sure about later(8PM on)

Cafe Promenade is a good place for early risers to sit and read, get some coffee. Lots of seating and well lit, port side on deck 5.

Agree with Matt, we would like to see a permanent RCI presence here in NO. History does not favor this however.

We wanted a particular cabin a couple years ago on the Jewel T/A. One member on our roll call had booked it however.
This member was waffling on canceling his sailing, so we called and were put on "waitlist" for this cabin. We were told that we would be first to get this cabin if it was cancelled. This person DID cancel so we called RCI and were told it was booked. When we questioned this with a manager, we were told they had made an error and saw our waitlist hold still there and it was overlooked.
Just a heads up, give it a try with a grain of salt.
