Usually I price out what I want and ask my TA to book it or book it and transfer the reservation to her. This time I specifically asked if she had any group rates for and Southern Caribbean itineraries and she was able to beat the pricing I was getting online with an already existing group. Yay MEI!

How do I do that? my son and his family are booked for this voyage and I’d love to join them…. But I am seeing it will cost me $4000+. How can I get in on that ‘existing group’ pricing?

If you don't have one, fill out the form on the main Royal Caribbean Blog main page..should be a yellow box on the right. One will reach out to you when you do that.

My Dec 2024 cruise was booked Feb of this year. You really need to book as soon as they release the itineraries to get the best pricing.

Gilley Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 I saw something about Black Friday sales in earlier post. How long does it last hours or 1 or 2 days and will prices really go do during that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are sales, but how much really depends on which sailing you are on and what ship. It is not a straight sale on all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 One trick to keep in mind regarding "sales". Rarely (never ?) do cruise fares AND Cruise Planner items go on sale at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilley Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Thanks… I’m going to be looking out for discounts on drink and dining packages. Just put a reminder in my calendar.looking for sales for Icon May 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Ogre Posted November 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 5 Days!!... but sad that the app still does not show the menus for Costal Kitchen or the MDR for all the days, only some of the days. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I think the alternating 6/8 sailings are messing with the menus. Probably won't have a clear idea until boarding day. Last time I was on Symphony I was able to make reservations for dining in the app as soon as I had a connection with the ship's wifi, so I quickly made my dining plan bookings.

I already have my MDR my time reservations made...I just wanted to know what days are which with the new menus as I have a 3 day speciality dining pkg. I also have my entertainment reserved so just trying to coordinate that with the dining. 7 P's for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have set MDR time, so that's squared away but like you we want to figure out which MDR menus to skip. Plus we also have to coordinate around late port days and entertainment reservations already made. I can't wait until that's all squared away and we can finally feel like we are on vacation!

Jolly Ogre Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Does anyone on this sailing know what was the medical emergency that they wanted blood doners for? They were very specific for males 25-50 with no meds or medical conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the sex and age of a blood donor matter ? I remember reading about this a few days ago and it surprised me that they were calling for younger males only. Just curious.

If it were for a direct transfusion then same sex would be best. And as for the age it would have to do with the limited medications and hormone levels. I was not involved but those would be my best guesses. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
