If you have to turn it up to hear it, put it to your ear instead. Then you don't have to shout over the windjammer background noise.

Just finished paying for this cruise for the entire family (8 of us). We are all really excited for this cruise. I'm a serious data freak. I have been tracking the costs of drink packages since I booked. I live in the UK, so I was just wondering. . . If you are from the USA and booked this same cruise, how much are the beverage packages in US dollars? In GB Pounds it shows current prices as follows: Deluxe Beverage = £83.57 (Normal price £104.47) (US Equivalent $104.76 / $130.97) Refreshment Package = £30.39 (£37.99) (US Equivalent $38.10 / $47.62) Internet Package (1 device) = £19.31 (£24.14) (US Equivalent $24.21 / $30.27) This info is as of 5 Feb, 1:00 pm with an exchange rate of $1.25 /GB £ Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. It helps to keep my brain from exploding trying to compare. Sailor_to_Cruiser (Bob)

Has anyone heard what the stage show is on Anthem next month?

Cancelled.

Does this app require Internet connection to work? If so, are we going to see better pricing at least for voom?

I think you're confusing FCC with Cruise Planner Credit. U was told by RCCL CS that there was a box at checkout to input the code. Never saw one. They would not apply it over the phone for my TA either.

I am an obsessed cruiser. I track all the prices of things I'm interested in. I purchased my April cruise (re-booking of September 20th) for £717 GBP, and £712 (B2B) on 11 August. The price began to gently rise over the time. Tuesday the price JUMPED! it is now £1053 and £950. That is about £1200 more than what I paid. Glad I got on the (ahem) "boat" when I did. Right now there is a cruise planner sale and prices for those items are the same as they were when I was tracking the September cruise. Has anyone ever noticed, excursion prices never actually go on sale?

Way too early to tell. Anything could happen.

No 2 customer service reps give the same answer. Keep phoning until you get the answer you want.

WOW!!! I am VERY VERY impressed with how you wrote that e-mail. Not condescending, complaining or threatening or demanding. You just covered the issues and kept personal disgruntled opinions to a minimum. If only everyone took a leaf from your book and applied it to reviews as well. Great job. Hope all ends up OK for you.

Have you reported this to RCCL, or at least the ship? I've had issues before, cabin steward, room service, and when I returned I e-mailed RCCL with the issues, and not opinions. I got a reply with $250 obc voucher. Yes it is true that a detrimental report can affect a person's career, but that is the reason they shouldnt treat the customers like that, to avoid the repercussions. Just my 2 cents worth.

A TA would have been a good tool to use for this one.

In my humble opinion, a gratuity that is mandatory is not a gratuity. What are we gratuitous for? Paying the extra 18%? This is just a tax levied by RCCL and kept by RCCL.

Why aren't they doing an European itinerary for inaugural? I thought that was normal routine. I'll have to miss it. bummer.
