    Flacruiser99 reacted to DDemuth in Well, that was a surprise...   
    Our younger daughter will be graduating from college in May and our older daughter has been teaching middle school in London for the last 2 years.  With the prospect of having both girls working to establish their respective careers in both the US and UK, this summer seemed like the last time that we could vacation as a family in the foreseeable future.   So last summer we booked Allure out of Barcelona for a Mediterranean cruise as kind of a last hurrah.  
    At the time of booking, it was evident that this would be a relatively expensive endeavor since Allure would be recently AMPed, we would need to arrange for three trans-Atlantic flights, hotels reservations in Barcelona for both pre- and post-cruise site seeing and we would be traveling at peak season in July 2020.  But bite the bullet and pay the fare.  We did.  Yesterday, I did a mock booking for our cruise and was surprised to see that current pricing was significantly below what we had paid.  In part, this was because a senior discount (yes, I'm old) and a Resident discount was available that had not been applied to our initial booking.
    Bottom line, a call to RCI to inquire resulted in a re-calculation of our reservation.  Not only were the discounts applied but the current BOGO60 and several other current sale discounts were added that reduced our costs by almost $1500.00.  Excursions and drink packages, here we come.....!   ?  My lucky day!  
    Barca, here we come!!

    This question is impossible to note. Sea conditions are subject to the weather, so it's like asking if it will rain at your house next year. No one can accurately predict that, and I always like to point out rough seas and calm seas can happen year round.

    i will bet that if two folks got off the ship at the same time and one flew and one drove (8.5 hrs.) the one driving would get home first. Heck I have still been at the departure airport 8.5 hours after getting of the ship.?

    Found this on the faq page http://www.royalcaribbeanincentives.com/full-ship-charter-faqs/
    Royal Caribbean International does not typically consider Full Ship Charter requests within 12 months of the requested sail date and/or for those sailings booked above a pre-determined threshold. Charter should be planned at least a year in advance. Most clients charter one year in advance and some as far out as two or more years.
    For Re-Sale charters, it is in the best interest of the client to allow ample time to promote the charter (12 months+). The cost of displacing booked guests will be a factor for any “open” sailing and will generally be lower if the charter is contracted farther out.
    So they basically require at least a year, and the ship cant already be booked beyond a set number of bookings.
