If you're booking through website, the option for refundable is on the last page of the checkout.

 

Thank you! 

I must admit that I never went that far in my mock booking "price checking" search since I always use a TA 

I think you just found the answer to my question

But it's sad they don't offer that choice at the very beginning of the search.

If you can share the ship, sail date and the type of cabin we can look at the cruise on the US site.

Thanks 

My browser is compatible with the US web site also.  And I think Matt already answered my concerns.... they put it at the very of booking process

Hello to all

Please pardon me if this topic has been discussed before...

It seems that we only have the NRD cruise fare on the Canadian site now. And it's by default, we can't even choose

We used to have a box to check ✔ just before we choose the cabin category. How about you our American friend? 

Must admit it causes me a bit of a problem last month has I tried to reprice my November Oasis cruise. I work with a TA in my hometown and there was a few hundred dollars difference between RC on the phone and what I had on the website.  

Not to cause any confusion, my original booking was a refundable deposit.  

Thanks for your reply

For those of you who sailed from port Canaveral,  what was your choice of transportation from hotels to the port.  

Thinking of renting a car for a day from Coastal car rental right off the pier in St Maartin, to explore the island. 

For those who have been to St Maartin, what do you think ? Go or bad idea ? 

I have the same problem... RC customer service not helping at all. 

Take your time at the airport, go pick up your luggage and relax a bit, maybe find a place to have breakfest. Around 9h30, jump into a cab and head for the port.

The security line opens around 10h00 am and then you can proceed to check in and move into the waiting area until the boarding begins ! 

For rezizing, I use https://www.picmonkey.com/

Works great, it's free.Click "edit" Pick the photo you want to rezise , click "resize" and choose 1224 x 1632. This should give you the appropriate size for the blog. 

Great review, thank you very much for sharing this.  

Same here, I use chrome with my computer and most of the time it not working. I was able to look at my cruise planner use Edge last time. 

I'm having trouble accessing the cruise planer page. Actually, I can't get there at all. After I login into My Cruise, I try to access the cruise planner page i get this message: 

We're sorry, but we are unable to retrieve your booking information at this time. For assistance, please call 866-562-7625 So I called them but there not really helping. Was told that "there working on that issue" ?!? As far as I'm concerned, they have been working on it for at least a month.  I know I'm not the only one, facebook is full of other people who can't access that page. Any idea ?  Thanks in advance

Was on the Allure last year and did the self assist luggage.

We waited for a shuttle that never came and decided to take a cab from the port and was at FLL before 9h00 AM. 

And no, there's nothing to do at the terminal but wait...

Yes chrisd596, you are right on ! 

I'm using Google chrome as well, and once had an issue getting pass the welcome page on there website.

I was recommend to clear all my cookies, and since then, it worked perfectly. 

Problem solved ! 

I cleared all of my history and cookies and also installed the latest windows upgrade and it start working again ! 

Thank you all ! 

Am I the only one having problems with the Royal Caribbean site ? 

I can't go pass the "Book Now" yellow button. After that, all I have is a blank page that won't open..

I can access all other pages in the site including the "my cruise" page. 

Am I missing anything?????? Is there anything that I may have overlooked??????

 

I appreciate all the help you all have given me during my planning period, I learned so much from this forum and I loved reading the blog! I plan on posting and sharing about my experience with you since this is my very first RCCL cruise but, I think it will only be the first of many!!!

I love reading that kind of post ! Remind me of myself on early january 2016 when I was 4 days away from my cruise on the Allure. 

I to would like to thank the administrators of this blog (and the rest of the members)  for helping us newbie, plan what would become a vacation of a lifetime ! 

No..you can book on MANY different sites....each may offer better pricing or perks.

 

I learned that the hard way..after MANY cruises with RCI and paying full price on their own site with little or no OBC, and then talking to ppl who paid way less and had more perks I caught on. Haven't booked with them since. The final straw was no longer giving us 24hrs to hold something while I tried to make arrangements with work and flights etc before committing to the cruise. Once they did away with that , there was NO advantage left in my mind to booking with them.

I would love to take a look at those sites, any recommandation ? 

Room service is complimentary. A tip would be appreciated. 

You will have room service menu in your stateroom, or also you can (on some ship) order directly from your TV. 

Bonjour Christine, de quelle croisière parlez-vous ?

Je parle français, je pourrai certainement vous aider.  

A freedom class ship out of Boston year round !!!

I also vote for a replacement of Cats....

I can easily relate to the "were all set" feeling you are describing. I felt exactly the same way one year ago for my Allure cruise in Port Everglade. 

Book ahead, you can always change your mind later on the ship.

If you have a reservation, you will be allowed in the (Theater, studio B, Aqua Theater) 45 to 60 before showtime. There are no actual seat reservation, you just show up and take wathever is available. 

People with no reservation will wait in line outside the room until 15 min prior to the show. It reduce your chance to be seated all together. 

Absolutely no limit, you can rebook your cruise and benefit the price drop up till your final paiement date comes.
