Lovetocruise2002

Love it!!! Cannot wait to book Norway again. I think the one we have booked for this coming summer might be a bust so going to look again when itineraries come out this week.

You and I both. I think I have cancelled 4 sailings now in category VP! Still trying to sail it. I have one more booked next November. ?

PSA: Don't forget to include the DATE/MONTH/YEAR of your sailing if you want it added to the master list. Also, if your cruise is already on the master list, there is no need to list all your sailings again when adding a new one. Please check prior to posting. ?

Nothing stands out on any of my sailings either. All I did was grab the drink package for 2 sailings (later in 2021) in case what some of us suspect holds true (that those prices will jump once sailings resume). They weren't a steal of a deal ($53/day and $46/day) but an amount that I would ok with paying for now.

No. ?

Nothing beats your first Star Class experience. Be as excited as you want! Soak it all in, you will not believe how fast the week will go by.

The answer might be here.... https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/11/14/top-10-royal-caribbean-harmony-of-the-seas-hidden-secrets And if it's not, @twangster will know. ?

It is Star Class. The price tag varies. There are two main factors that play into how much the per person cost will come out to be with that cabin: 1) Time of year 2) Number of people you put in there (holds 14 max) If you sail during low season, and max out the occupancy, the cost could be less than what you would pay for a balcony cabin. If you book that cabin over the summer or holidays, even maxed out, it can be quite expensive, especially during Christmas and NY sailings. We lost our Villa booking due to covid, but we paid just under $14K for 14 people for a December 13th sailing. That is considered very low. I don't expect to see that price again. That was a combination of the right time of year, KSF, and travel agent discounts. With this past summer 2022 release, I did price out a sailing on SY for end of August for the same 14 people. The cost was about $32K for all 14 of us. With just 4 people, it priced out at about $22K. As you can see, it really varies. I have heard from some friends that holiday sailings are much pricier than what we priced out for summer.

Oh yes, my mistake. I forgot they converted the ones on freedom and Indy to 2BDR GS over dry dock.

Yes. One per ship. So two in the entire fleet. They also have the 4 Bedroom villas on freedom class but it’s not star class.

It’s called the Villa suite, category VS. Only available on HM and SY. You won’t find it because they go so fast! Not exaggerating at all. With the summer 2022 release a few days ago, they were literally gone within 24hrs.

Did you say suite? Good choice! ? I actually looked at that sailing too. Going to wait for summer 2022 Canada/NE itineraries to be released. If nothing looks good, I might book the 8 night Mariner as well.

Also make sure you have your phone on airplane mode when making wifi calls through VOOM on board. You don't want unexpected charges when you get home.

@twangster has mentioned these many times before in his past blogs. He probably has pics in his photo vault too.

We have used VOOM before to call our daughters through FaceTime and audio many times before, both when they were left at home and when they were on board with us. I have also used VOOM to video chat (through Whatsapp) with my sisters back at home. So yes, it does work, both with those on board and with those not.

Yes but keep in mind that it is a loft, so you will be lacking some privacy. It has two bathrooms but two adults will have to sleep in a sofa bed on the lower level. There is also nothing to separate the two levels other than a curtain. If you are fine with that, Star class is amazing.

I remember hearing about someone renting it too before. I tried to go back and look for the post, but I cannot find it. Not sure if it was here or in another group that someone talked about it. It wasn't cheap though. IIRC, I only glanced at the post because I did not think it was worth it. If this is for your SC sailing, you can always ask your Genie about it too.

Omg...I don’t know what to say other than you and @WAAAYTOOO never fail to make me laugh with your writing! Carry on lol... Thankful to hear that you recovered from covid. ?

^^^This would be perfect. When we lost the Villa, both my parents and one of my sisters (and her family) likely won't be able to use the FCC in time if they don't extend it.

And to add to that, you can only L&S up until April 2022 at the moment. Even though new summer 2022 itineraries are out, L&S does not apply to that. I checked already. ?

You have waaaytooo many sailings, you are losing track. ?

I know but @WAAAYTOOOsaid there was an itinerary change regarding our Allure March 2021 sailing...

Wait..I am really confused. Both sailings that I have with you, SY and AL do not leave from PC. What modified itinerary is this?? Lol

No, I don’t ever get emails from Royal. Not sure why. Doesn’t matter. Unless drastic changes happen over the next three weeks, I will more than likely cancel. The border is my biggest problem.

That is exactly the same thing I heard. I don't mind. I do not want to lose this sailing.
