We have a cruise coming up in Sept and we will be requesting a private table since it is only my wife and I. Not that we don't like meeting new people, but for dinner we like it to be just us two. We usually travel with at least 6 in our group, so just the two of us is going to be great!

Did you book it on the site? If so, where was it located?
Thanks.
Happy Cruising!
 

Good for those of you who this applies to. I'm looking forward to our free $5 slot voucher on our next cruise! My wife and I like to see who can lose it the slowest on penny slots. ?

Is Buc'ees like Stuckey's? I sure miss Stuckey's here in IL. Pecan Log anyone?

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy Healty Pofitable New Year!!!😎

I've been emailing with my TA Kathy G at MEI about this. She said that she has been in this scenario before and has secured shuttle transportation for clients on embarkation day, even though they arrived early. She contacted RC and said she was upfront with the RC rep as to what she was doing, which the RC rep acknowledged, and was able to secure transportation by supplying a flight number that arrived that day. Sneaky? Yes. Great customer service? Definitely! 
I'm not sure if you are going through a TA or booked directly with RC, but I guess the answer is that it's possible to secure airport transportation same day. I'd talk to your TA, if you booked with one and see what they can do. Kathy was going to inquire a little more with RC and get back to me. When she does, I'll post what info she gets here.

Hello I booked the bus with Royal Caribbean but am also going to be in Venice before and will go back to the airport the morning of departure to get the shuttle. 
The booking sytem they have will not let them book a shuttle without a flight number and they explained to me it was to ensure the the flight would not arrive later than the time it takes for a shuttle to make the last trip before the ship departs.
if you get a flight number from google flights arriving the morning of departure you could call up and explain your situation and book they just check your name when you get there.

I checked prices again this morning and they are the same as last week during the "Black Friday" sale, so should I assume they were never really on sale or that they are still on sale? 🤔
Happy Cruising?

I have been monitoring several items for our Allure sailing in March. I have to say, none of them changed in value at all. 

The "sale" prices are ok like @PPPJJ-GCVABmentioned. I've held off on a few things until this weekend and just went ahead and purchased them today. I'll continue to watch prices and repurchase if and when they drop, like usual.
Happy Cruising!

Happy Thanksgiving! My hope is that all of us have so much more to be thankful for this year beyond cruising getting back to normal.

No one knows.  
Hopefully testing for travel will go away soon.  Depending on where you live and what countries you visit international travel for non-cruise can be a lot of effort without clear guidance what is really required, what kind of tests or when.  Few countries are the same, each health department dreams up their own wild regulations.

A TA will have access to the lower price and still can do the Best Price Guarantee.
