Seems I always have a cruise dilemma....
Lovetocruise2002 replied to chill6x6's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
If you look at Deck 17 plans, I usually like to pick more towards the center. Reason being that from Deck 16, if you look up, you can still see a few of the balconies that are closer (first 3 or so) to the suite lounge/CK end of Deck 17. -

Yup! ^^^This^^^. #teamCK. And the suite lounge on Deck 17. -
Did they extend the date FCC must be used by?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Yes. The policy at the moment is still the end of April 2022. That is also why I have stopped taking the FCC option. My cancelled August sailing is the last one that I took and after that I started asking for refunds. Having lost 4 sailings already, I have so many FCCs that at first I thought I would have no trouble using them up (since we have a bunch booked next year too) but now with no start date in sight, I am starting to worry. If they extend the date, I might start taking FCCs again, but otherwise refunds for now. -
Does navigator of the seas have a escape room?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to Markay's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It is refreshing to read posts like this for a change. ? -
Are you in a suite? If you are, when the suite concierge reaches out to you a week to do before sailing, you can have them make reservations for you. Honestly though, on a regular sailing, most open venues are not busy at all. You could probably just walk right in for lunch without a reservation. Especially with Playmakers and Port Side.

Cruise Planner Price drops
Lovetocruise2002 replied to Tiger317's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
You cannot. I believe the above posts are all referring to the 125% OBC cruise planner refunds from the cancelled sailings, not to be confused with the 125% FCC from the cancelled sailings. -
Maybe, maybe not. I can tell you that from the cruises that I have been on, most specialty dining is pretty empty on embarkation day. There are some die hard WJ (not me! lol) fans out there and I feel like embarkation is so busy that most people don't want to sit down for a meal. Also, some may not have even checked in yet at that point (that's not me either lol).

Personally, I would look at the Deck 11 above and see what you do not want to be underneath. Some of the GS cabins are closer to the pool than others and you might hear some noise from pool chairs etc. Although some have also said there is little to no noise from above, I personally don't like to take the chance. I always look at the decks above and below to see what is there. Also, I would avoid the connecting ones, unless you have both the cabins, connecting cabins with a stranger is always best to avoid lol. Lastly, I think that there is one on the hump. Some people love hump balconies for the view, but also consider that others might be able to see you as well from that position.

Purchase Cruise Planner Items or Hold Off?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to WannaCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As long as you are prepared that it might get tied up, you can't go wrong purchasing now for sure. Or the other plan could be that as it gets closer to March, if sailings don't look like they will happen, you cancel it first. Refunds seem to come back faster that way. -

Lovetocruise2002 replied to WannaCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
@WannaCruise I think only you can decide this one. Buy it now if it doesn’t bother you to have the money held up. If it does, let it go. There’s always going to be another sale before March and also possibly Black Friday. -
I just posted the same time that you posted about getting the switch for $1600 less! That is awesome! For that difference, it’s not worth it. You are right, you can get VOOM, UDP, and Drink package!
-
Sky class for the 2 Bedroom GS. But you do get VOOM included whereas on Liberty you don’t. But on Liberty you would get the hot tub. Is that and the bigger ship worth the move to Miami? Only you can decide that. ?
-
Yes! Definitely look into it. I know someone who recently just shifted a RS on Indy or Freedom (I cannot remember but basically no star class) and they got the RLS on Oasis! Winner winner right there!

That right there is my exact thinking! I thought I would have zero issues using them up but now...not so sure.

Tip with drink package...?
Lovetocruise2002 replied to nrgMike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
That only happens when I see this: ? -
I am more interested in knowing if they will extend the FCC expiry date beyond April 2022. I was just saying to a friend earlier that with no start date in sight, I am starting to ask for refunds instead out of worry that I won't be able to use all the FCCs in time.

Lovetocruise2002 replied to nrgMike's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I don't pretend to speak for all Canadians, but we always add a small tip at the bar (and especially in the Diamond and Suite Lounges) and service is always excellent, even when it's a "gong show". ? -
The RCBlog Group Cruise next year is to Norway on Anthem.
