Yeah, we also booked an Italy and Croatia cruise in 2025 on Voyager.

It sounds like you should have 14. If you logon to the website and look at your past cruises it will take you how many points were allocated for each cruise.
-
I don’t think there is much chance of that happening. It would be good if they added Fiji to the South Pacific itineraries as we haven’t been there. currently the itineraries are very limited given the number of ports that did not reopen post Covid and still show no signs of opening.
-
Yes we were originally booked on Enchantment, and that worked out well for us as we ended up with the Royal Suite on Brilliance instead for our cruise last month.
-
In the past it has been released in March/April window.

Did C&A benefits change in Oct 2023
F1guynz replied to Kurtp13's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Unless it is older ship like Brilliance of the Seas which still prints and displays them. In this case you can take any photo up for redemption as the photos aren't liked to any particular cabin. I am sure I saw somewhere that you will soon be able to look at the photos from the app and also redeem your free voucher without having to go to one of the kiosks. -
Non Suite Diamond Plus Priority Embarkation
F1guynz replied to AussieCoasterKing's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
When sailing out of Sydney we have arrived early than our check-in time (we were in a suite) and because the ship was not ready there was an area with seating we had to wait to board. The passengers were boarded in the following order, B2B cruisers, Royal Suite, suites, C&A in tier level sequence. If you arrive after the ship has started boarding, then it is just first come first served. -
The option to hotspot was also greyed out for me on our recent cruise on Brilliance.
-
As well as the drinks available free on board (water, fruit punch, lemonade, iced tea, eta, coffee etc.) you can also bring 12 cans of soft drink with you and we normally bring a couple of small bottles of coke after port visits.

Quantum of the Seas From Brisbane Star Class Concerns
F1guynz replied to zcruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Hi @zcruiser you will get star class on these sailings as we have previously sailed in the Royal Loft Suite and have also booked Grand Loft Suite in March 2024 with our genie Hailey. The genie will contact you about 30 days before the sailing to organise the experience with you. -
Voyager is in Europe until at least November 25 as they have recently released those cruises. Seems like an odd choice to reposition from Rome to Australia at the end of 2025 as that would make for a short season when they normally start in October/November. Danny from Harr travel speculated that Anthem may go to LA after Alaska and we may get Ovation year round. I guess we will have to wait a few more months before anything concrete comes out.

This is what I do.

Can you bid on Royal Up for someone else?
F1guynz replied to jbrinkm's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
yes i did this for my parents, I linked my reservation to theirs. i could also buy a dining package on their behalf. -
We are on Brilliance at the moment and have booked Voyager Italy and Croatia in 2025 through Next Cruise
-
We booked a 2025 sailing on Voyager out of Rome visiting `Italy and Croatia. You will love independence, we did when we did our Canaries cruise.
-
It has been suggested Ovation will be replaced by Anthem by then which probably means Ovation will not be in Alaska.
-
Looking forward to our cruise on Brilliance next week. Nice to be on a small ship after a few sailings on Quantum and Ovation.

I would argue that a freedom class ship is better for families than Quantum. The main advantage Quantum has over Freedom class is Quantum's are more suited to colder weather and I think that is the primary reason we don't get one deployed here. Usually, the ships we get here complete Alaska seasons too, and that is probably another limiting factor for getting an Oasis class, as well as the lack on tendering ability for the South Pacific. Off the top of my head Independence had mini golf, water slides, flow rider, ice skating as free activities. Apart from the flow rider and bumper cars most things cost on Quantum class on sea days and apart from restaurants doesn't have the variety that a Freedom class has. To me the Freedom class is the perfect size and combination of activities.
-
We have done this in Star Class but I don't believe you can do it in a Grand Suite. It didn't come on a plank when we had it delivered, it came on a round plate with a plastic cover. You could ask at the restaurant while you are on board as the worst that will happen is they will say no.

I see Independence has been confirmed for 2025 from Southampton. Independence of the Seas to homeport in UK in 2025 | Travel Weekly

A quote from an old article from 2016 “Ovation of the Seas will be the fifth ship in the Royal Caribbean Australian fleet for winter 2016-17, joining four other Royal Caribbean ships – Voyager of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas in Sydney and Legend of the Seas in Brisbane” The good old days with plenty of choice.
-
You would hope so as Ovation would have been here for 10 years by then. At least Anthem will have some different shows.

Reservations needed Solarium bistro for dinner?
F1guynz replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
We have booked it a couple of times after we have boarded. It is not usually super busy and the food was pleasant enough but was buffet style and not the table service we first had back in 2017. I consider it good for a quick light meal. -
Handing over Passports to the cruiseline?
F1guynz replied to Reigert2008's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I think in Asia it is more common depending on where you are sailing to. You get them back near the end of the cruise I believe.
