Firefly Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Our cruise planner finally says Adventure instead of Voyager but now has our rooms listed as GTY. We had booked adjacent hump balconies (our teens are still minors) so I am not happy. Waiting to hear back from my TA… WAAAYTOOO and AlohaLivin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Update: All is good now. We got our same hump balconies that we originally booked for Voyager. Huge sigh of relief. Now I can get excited about this cruise again. WAAAYTOOO, AlohaLivin and jabberwk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge sigh of relief. Now I can get excited about this cruise again. Lucky! Our 4 rooms somehow got switched to guaranteed rooms. Sending an email to the TA now so she can deal with this. We have had rooms in different parts of the ship before, and it isn't a big deal. But considering this one is for Christmas it's a bit more important to me that the two rooms for my immediate family be really close. I don't plan on bringing much in the way of presents, but whatever I do bring I was counting on just sneaking onto their balcony via our balcony (we had aft rooms booked on the 6th floor, so if anything were to be dropped during this maneuver it would be easy to retrieve based on how the layout is there - these dividers don't open so can't just walk room to room. I had the whole thing planned out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely understand your frustration. sleepy425 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy425 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 They told the TA that they haven't began assigning balcony rooms yet and that is why we see GTY as our room number. Which is obviously not true since @Firefly got assigned her hump balconies. And no info on if they are extending the deadline for us. Not that I can see a reason for us to rebook (unless they somehow mess up and give us a room that isn't a balcony. My mom and I suffer from severe claustrophobia so the balcony is non-negotiable for at least two rooms. But I'm hoping they can't screw up that badly). But for them to say we need to have made a decision by Aug 18 without them finishing our transfer is a bit silly. Firefly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy425 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Glad that testing is dropped, one less thing to worry about for all our upcoming cruises. For anyone curious - Still waiting to be assigned room numbers for all 4 rooms. ETA: Aug 29 we were finally all switched to our original rooms. Glad that's all settled!

fireclan Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 We're booked on this cruise, originally on Voyager but successfully switched over to Adventure. We actually have a somewhat better cabin than we had...our first Christmas cruise! sleepy425, WAAAYTOOO, jabberwk and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy425 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Anyone else's app have this listed as a 5 day out of Texas? Online says the right thing, but my husband got very confused when he logged in and saw a 5 night cruise out of Texas - poor guy assumed I booked another random cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With other app issues, people often find it useful to delete the Royal app and reinstall it. Hopefully that will fix the problem! sleepy425 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 It's showing as an 8 night AD Christmas cruise for me. sleepy425 and AlohaLivin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy425 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Options for booking things on Labadee are up (previously it was just a few boat excursions, now it has the zip line, cabanas, etc). Only a 5% discount as of now, but I grabbed what I wanted and will watch the price. AlohaLivin and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy425 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Prices are NOT good anymore (and haven't been for a while, I know). But life happens and we have an extra child (we swore no more, but sometimes life as a foster family is unpredictable and in July we said yes to a temporary teen and now he's permanently ours). Thankfully my husband was on Liberty last week and got him booked into a single cabin at Next Cruise. The original price they put the cabin on hold with was so high....but then when he went to book it the price had gone down $1k!!! So still a crazy amount compared to what we paid, but we don't have to leave our new son home! I emailed Crown and Anchor trying to get him added to our status. I'm hoping they won't have an issue doing that. And on Thursday we went and put in his passport application, so fingers crossed DCF did all the paper work correctly (I know he doesn't NEED the passport. But we do prefer to have passports while cruising). If you see a frazzled mom trying to avoid 5 kids, be sure to say hi!

Don't think I will do any Special Dining on this one. The MDR usually does a good job on Holiday cruises and the food last week on Mariner was good so fingers crossed. 50 Days to go.
