Why???....because I think spending $5000 for an interior cabin on Icon is Crazy!?!?!

I understand ...what I'm saying if it was they still wouldn't book.

I have to agree with the doing nothing. After 53 sailings mostly all with Royal I have seen much change over the years. Years ago if a child or adult walked through the ship in a bikini without a coverup they were asked to put something on....now nothing...I see women with G-stings in Windjammer. My daughter wouldn't be allowed to walk on the ship at a port stop without a coverup or t-shirt. Men couldn't walk on without a shirt....now it all goes...they wouldn't say a word to these people. With this new entitled society companies are afraid to say anything anymore.

No one would ever book one of those refundable rates with suites anyways.

I couldn't imagine paying $5000 with the pools open.

I have to agree...I couldn't wait for the Oasis class ships to come out and have sailed them plenty. Icon as soon I saw the pics and videos of what I now call SpongeBob SquarePants of the Seas I have no interest in it at all...this ship is strictly catered to attract kids...no interest. I know Royal Caribbean is a family line but Icon took it to another level. Put that together with the entitled world we now live in and it's a recipe for something I don't want to be part of.

Nothing seems to have been officially announced but I am going to bet if you look at the offer relationship between MGM and Royal it will probably be similar. Top tier MGM is offered yearly 7 night balcony sailing and I think it was second from top tier for MGM was offered a yearly 3-5 night Oceanview sailing....onboard credit is also offered depending what level player you are. I would think the relationship with Hard Rock will probably be something similar. Hard Rock has already been having promotions depending your level for Royal Caribbean sailing vouchers for a free cruise for like the past 6 months now already. The first time like 6 months ago that Hard Rock had a free Royal Caribbean voucher offer the line was wrapped around the casino hours long....thats how many people showed up in response. I believe that as soon as they saw that they knew they had something going. Prior to that first offer starting about a year ago Hard Rock had sent out surveys to ask if they formed an association with a cruise line what cruise line would you like to see it with....obviously Royal Caribbean won out in response. They also did have Royal reps on site to immediately assist in booking.

When you go into the travel agent site and click "exclude non-refundable deposit fares" it give rates for suites. While staggering in price difference it does give refundable rates on suites.

Spot on....however I would push it a few blocks over more....like the Westin Beach Resort and anywhere north of it.

The difference between March and April is who is on spring break....March is primarily college....some elementary and high schools but big college. April spring break is primarily all elementary and high school...so family oriented.

Cause the food on Coco Cay like Labadee sucks. I was actually happy to see better choices at Hideaway.

You can get a refundable deposit rate on just about every category cabin including suites.

Just off Wonder last week ago and Playmakers were showing the games. However there isn't a Playmakers on Adventure...so not sure where would be playing or if they will have.

Abby is part of the new entitled world...always looking for sympathy.

Exactly....and be happy they even took the time to contact you to let you know:)
