Connie360 Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 What happens on the first cruise that makes it worth going as far as events? I have a mess and wondering if I should stay on this cruise and work it out or go another time? I was 7/22&7/26 and now I am 7/19&7/26 they won't honor the expired cert and move the b2b 7/26 to 7/22 or move me back (Not asking about the cert, just events) TY Quote

They usually have some gifts left in the room..upgraded options at the buffet. I'm not sure how they will handle this since there hasn't been as much of a big to-do about this ship and it is a short sailing situation. If it's the first time the ship visits Nassau they will probably have a water cannon salute and maybe even a celebration at the port put on by Bahamian officials. But if they do test or media cruises before hand and stop at Nassau on those they may not even do that. Neesa and Connie360 2 Quote

I think I'll try Icon or other Oasis These dates fit right in front of my UK cruise, and who wants to fly twice across country. Quote
Southern Dan Posted May 5 Report Posted May 5 I'm going to Alaska for a cruise on Aug 11...I kinda want to do this inaugural sailing and I could *probably* get off of work but I think my wife will kill me if I bring it up since I know she can't go lmfao. Quote
Neesa Posted May 9 Report Posted May 9 Utopia Inaugural Beach Club at Coco Cay prices are WAAAY down! The OWC there started at 4,999 now it's slightly over 2,000. Entry to the Beach Club has come down also. I'm not biting because I paid enough for the sailing but I'm thinking many feel this way because the drops are BIG. Now if they would only let us in on the big secret Railway Dining experience, that is something I MAY commit to, depending on the $$$$. We are on the Island with Allure so we most likely won't even leave the ship. New ship & only 3 nights probably enough to experience on board. First person to see anything new please give us the heads up? Thanks a bunch! AshleyDillo, Sweety, SebagoSue and 1 other 4 Quote
Neesa Posted May 20 Report Posted May 20 Quietly now, did anyone get a RUB offer for this sailing? Don't tell @OCSC Mike I'm asking......it's for a friend! LOL, I really am curious because I do love my cabin and detest deck 18 so, but usually day 60 the offer arrives, nothing. Maybe it's with the Royal Railway information/offerings, LOL OCSC Mike and Sweety 1 1 Quote
Neesa Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Thanks so much @Sweety. I just set my alarm for a few minutes before midnight! Still no Royal Up offers or Railway info!! Sweety and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote

Sweety Posted June 3 Author Report Posted June 3 How do I check to see which cabin I have been assigned? Quote

WAAAYTOOO Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 20 minutes ago, Neesa said: @WAAAYTOOO, no not until tonight. I haven’t done it before, but I think once you check in you can do the QR code thing and see your room assignment. Someone smarter than me can probably give you more info. I have my first ever GTY room on Brilliance in Nov. kinda excited about it….strangely… Sweety and Neesa 1 1 Quote
Neesa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 No luck at this hour, trying to check in on app or desk top. Message " Not quite ready for you" No Arrival time for you! Long day tomorrow, I'm tossing in the towel. Sweety 1 Quote

Neesa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 This would be sad...if it wasn't so "expected" Upon checking again this morning I am chuckling a bit. They have a space to place your credit card, for sure and certain! But the arrival times must be in the IT vault along with our Royal Up offers, and the Railway offering. I just smile and think first sailing on this ship they are still getting their act together. So for anyone new to Royal on this sailing don't be discouraged, it is not always like this. I promise! Have a great day all and happy days with well wishes to the IT Department Can you address our sailing soon, please & thank you! WAAAYTOOO and Sweety 2 Quote
Sweety Posted June 4 Author Report Posted June 4 They have over 25 high end suites left. With my suite guaranteed, is it possible I can get deck 17? I can't believe we can't pick out arrival time. I am not complaining. I was able to get a suite guaranteed for just 500. Double points! Woohoo! Mason Jar! WAAAYTOOO and Neesa 2 Quote
Neesa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 @Sweety yes I agree I think your 500.00 guarentee is a win. Do I think a suite is possible on deck 17, yes I do! They want to impress so why not get you into a grand suite and then hook you for the future! I'm over here cheering for you, looking forward to knowing your cabin assignment as well. Have a great day!! Sweety and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote
Neesa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 @Sweety I just grabbed arrival times on the app. Go now, go fast 1030 still available!! @AshleyDillo for you also Calling @D Alt as well. OCSC Mike, WAAAYTOOO and Sweety 1 1 1 Quote

Neesa Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 @Sweety okay great double points! Now keep your eyes peeled for RU maybe you can bid a tiny amount to get on 17 or 18. There are so many GS and AS 1 bedroom available. Eyes peeled for RU, I sent a message via X and the arrival times appeared within minutes. I addressed the RR & RU as well. Sweety 1 Quote

Neesa Posted June 5 Report Posted June 5 If they still don't send out some RUB offerings at 30 days go to www.royalcaribbean.com/booked/cruise-room-upgrade. When it populates your last name and your reservation # should pull up some offerings, IF they are offering them for this sailing. Fingers crossed for you!! Sweety and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote
Hoppy2BHere Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 Hello all. We were just able to add this as a casino comp (balcony on the hump). Just the two of us. Looking forward to it. Our first inaugural. Only 3 days but should be fun. Looking forward to running into some of you on board. But not clingers… lol Other fun part.. we get to see an old friend (us old..not him) crew member who recently made “white shirt” status. He says he is already enjoying it onboard and a great ship and team. J&S AshleyDillo, Neesa, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 2 2 Quote

Sweety Posted June 19 Author Report Posted June 19 I did two RUB. Let's see how it goes. WAAAYTOOO and Neesa 2 Quote
Neesa Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 I'm most surely sitting this one out. I'm not a fan of deck 18 and the prices for the others are insane for 3 nights. I'm very happy in my Grand and was eyeballing the Solarium suite for a bid but I can't justify the cost if awarded the ability to pay more. I considered the 1 bed aqua for a hot second but I can make the best of the 3 nights being right next to #CK. Well wishes and positive vibes @Sweety may the RUB gods be in your corner!!
