Rose City Cruiser

The website is wonky. But I am confused as to why the RCCL rep did not assist or forward you to an agent in booking your 8 cabins when you called in about the website issues.

Are charges pending against the grandfather?

I thought the glass are slightly tinted with a blue hue to it.

At home, everything is organized. Why not while travelling? Makes it easier to search for a specific item. Someone should make Tetris-shaped packing cubes.

Here's some info on The Key: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2019/03/26/royal-caribbeans-the-key-worth-it

Is there a way to receive notifications when keywords for thread subjects appear such as "sale", "glitch", etc?

To save you time from the Guest Services line, go straight to the Casino Host. Guest Services will just tell you Club Royale bookings is a separate dept. Don't expect the credit to appear during your sailing. I just received my credit and I got off the ship on June 29th. Maybe they now have sorted everything out and are efficient in providing the credits. Hope you enjoy your cruise!

We were on Majesty that day and loved Perfect Day at Coco Cay! I was disappointed about not going to Cuba but excited to experience the new Coco Cay.

There are three slides that have long lines. Daredevil's Peak, Dueling Demons and Sling Shot. The other slides have minimal to zero lines. I was within 10 spots from the Daredevil's Peak when they had to shut down Coco Cay due to an incoming storm. I will have to try it in November.

This reminds of Cathay Pacific's pricing error on First class tickets to HKG last year. They honoured the pricing. Too bad I was not able to travel during those times. It would have been great mileage run.

If you booked your cruise through MyVegas/Club Royale, contact Club Royale via wifi calling. Request them to contact the ship's guest services to confirm the onboard credit owed to you. If Club Royale tells you to speak to Guest Services first, tell them they told you to speak with them. The employees at Guest Services are trying their best but it seems like they don't have the directive from Royal HQ to give out thr promised OBC owed. It's unfortunate and disappointing. Hope this helps!

Does this mean apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger might not work on Spectrum of the Seas since it is not accessible in mainland China?

For my June sailing, I booked it at $57 USD. For my November sailing, I booked at $52USD. It is hard to keep an eye on prices after booking because they disappear from the excursion list.

There are TVs inside and outside the On Air club on Deck 5 Royal Promenade. Keep in mind they use ESPN Caribbean which may not broadcast the games you would normally receive in North America.

That is what the free samples of cologne at the Duty Free is for!

On our sailing last year, they had complimentary mimosas and bloody mary for breakfast in the MDR on sea days.

And use the gender swap filter from Snapface as the profile pic.

Be thankful that it is not like some crew washrooms where the shower and toilet are in the same pod.

Make sure you have all bookings in your party are linked.

I thought the OBC was for 50% of paid cruise fare that is to be credited to your onboard account. I assumed this meant I would receive nothing since it was a comped cruise.

The interior promenade-view rooms does have a padded "bench" situated where the window is. That is pretty much the most obvious difference between a standard interior room and an interior promenade-view room. Some of these rooms of located mid-ship so you may find some value in shorter walking distance to the forward/aft of the ship.

Rooms are usually ready by 130pm. So we usually get a quick bite to eat, confirm our dining reservations for the cruise and explore. We quickly change in the room and drop off the carry-on once they are open and hit the pool deck until it is time for muster drill.

First, congratulations on your anniversary! I hope you do give RC another try. Like others have recommended, booking with a TA will avoid the website issues you experience. Also, TA who specializes in cruises are a wealth of information that you cannot gain by simply watching YouTube videos such as stateroom selections, itinerary selection, etc.

As long as they are safe and having a great time! Hope they enjoy the rest of their cruise.

Sorry to hear about your children's experience. Personally, I would not have escalated to Guest Services that quickly. I would have written a note in the room for the attendant to take care of it before I returned. I would hide my toothbrush.
