Always asking...lol

I will refrain from saying you know what....lol I don't mind certain strong drinks, but this one tasted like cough medicine I used to have as a kid.

Oh my...in our case, both our names show up as "ineligible" in the cruise planner. We just got our guest documents over the weekend. It shows our names....still no resolution on our end here.

That happens to me often at Port Everglades.

Happy Cruise Day!

@JohnK6404 this blog has convinced me that I need to head back to the Med at least one more time, but in spring or fall, when it’s cooler and more enjoyable.

100%!!!! Whenever I go to Chops I think of you and @Sweety…pretzel bread & mushroom soup, then red velvet cake. Does not get any better than that!

You are totally right! I will fix it...

Or a Ford Mustang convertible lol

@TexanTwoStep who are the suite concierges on SY who have reached out to you? I'm headed on SY next month and hoping that I will see Mohamed again.

Takes one to know one lol

For some reason that I cannot figure out, they are not as good as the ones on Icon. Better than OG elevators, but not impressive.

YOLO Book It!

I thought of your wife last night as I came home totally exhausted and wiped out....so awesome for summer to start for her, and ending the school year!

I did reach out to C&A mid week. This does not seem to be the case. My thoughts are still along the same lines as @smokeybandit in that I got someone's recycled reservation number and classic Royal IT has some glitch where the previous guests were not cleared out. To further support this theory, when I tried to mock book a PDCC cabana, the error message I get on the app is "The time for this experience has passed." What really has me puzzled though is yesterday when they redid the reservation, I got a new reservation number and it was still happening (where someone else's names where coming up in the cruise planner). Hard to tell. While we are Canadian, we book with a US TA and our bookings are always paid in USD.

I wish it were that simple lol

I have a brand new one for you all. I considered posting this on a previous thread from earlier this week, but seeing as this has taken on a life of it's own, I am starting from scratch. As some of you know from my posts this week, Hubby and I booked a "last minute, for us" sailing on FR for 6/30. Contacted my TA on Sunday and paid in full as we were well within final payment. Right after, I logged in, linked the reservation to my sailing and checked in. We are booked in a GTY suite and I wanted a decent check in time. I checked Hubby and I in without issues. Got my set sail pass and everything. Trouble began afterwards. I wanted to go into the CP and buy VOOM. On my laptop, nothing showed. It's just blank and says, "Amazing experiences coming soon." On the app, the "purchase now" button is there, but when I click on it, where normally you select the guests, our names show up, but it says, "Ineligible guest". I was doing this not just for VOOM, but for all the CP purchases. Ok...so I did the usual, logged in and out of the app, deleted the app and reinstalled in, gave it overnight and tried again Monday morning. Same thing happened. Monday after work, I called Royal. They tried off load the reservation from my account and had me link it again, no luck. The guy I spoke went into my CP and tried to purchase VOOM for me and he got the same error messages. He said he had to put in a ticket and give it 48-72 hours. Ok...patience is not a strong suit of mine. So, yesterday was 72 hours and no change. I called them back again after work and this is where things got interesting. The agent I spoke looked in the notes and tried again to book VOOM for me. However, then she tells me that when she tries to purchase, someone else's name comes up. Umm...what? I asked her who? Of course they would not tell me, but it's not Hubby or me. I proceed to tell her that it's my reservation and has only ever been mine. I told her we were fully checked in and even have a set sail pass, just no room assignment yet. She said that my reservation was intact and shows our names but the CP for some reason does not show our names. I was lost! I don't know what is worse, being stuck in that refund loop, or now this. So she puts me on hold and tries to escalate it. She said sometimes they can fix it on the spot. 30 mins later, no luck. She said to give it overnight to refresh and if it doesn't work, I might need to contact my TA to have them redo the entire reservation. Ugh. This morning, no change. So I send a message to my TA and they redo the reservation. I thought ok, no problem. I can re-check in etc. Only it also didn't work. They redid the reservation and someone else's names still show up in my CP. Like what?! So now I have to wait for IT to get to it because apparently they are all stuck and out of ideas. Has this ever happened to anyone before, and what was the outcome?

June 30th sailing Hubby just asked me again if there was anything I wasn’t telling him. I don’t think I can

Ok…I am late again to this party again, I really need this school year to end! @GatorCruiser we just booked a suite guarantee on FR next month. That was my last minute booking just yesterday. It was a really good deal and Hubby and I decided to YOLO! I am 99.99% sure I will get a JS but I ok with it this time. In fact, I am sort of excited! And yes, @OCSC Mike, that does mean MDR and WJ cause Hubby made me promise not to add on any dining packages. I guess that genie package is out of the question…

You definitely have to make it a point to go into St. Peter’s and the Vatican next time. First time in Rome we only did the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. That was already quite a sight. St. Peter’s is just beautiful when we toured it last summer.

Yes, I have experienced this too over the last few weeks. It's finicky. Sometimes it freezes. Some when I pick another sailing, it will take me to another one, but not the one I selected. I noticed over the weekend there was an update to the app, updated it, still not working perfect.

Update: I can now get into my CP. but now when I try to add something to my cart, I get the message, “The last time for this experience has passed.”

Could not agree with you more about the new GK location! I don’t care to dine outdoors but even the view from the inside is better than other GK locations. And it’s so open and airy. In fact, thinking back, GK and Chops were probably the best on UT than I have experienced on any other ships.
