Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. May I ask if you can prebook excursions etc with OBC like you can with RCCL or does it literally mean once onboard. I have over £470 OBC and would prefer to use on excursions but do they get sold out beforehand as I would not want to risk it.
  2. Thank you, at the moment they have such a big price drop, it works out better than OBC so I might have to take that up with them. However, I really don't want to lose my checkin time. I suppose I can do something on the day of embarkation?
  3. Hi, I have booked and paid for 2 staterooms on Spectrum, 27 days to sail date, because RCCL did not have staterooms accomodating 2 adults and one child (told fully booked). At the time there were no interconnecting rooms, now there are. Is it straightforward to change rooms, they are in a much lower class category? I have checked in and got a great boarding time of 11am, will I lose that if I have to check in again? Will I also lose the 300 US dollar onboard credit if they agree to switch rooms? Incidentally, there are several 3 person occupancy rooms available now but RCCL have said I would have to pay 75% cancellation charge for 1 room.
  4. Hi, I have booked a cruise in December 2024 from Barbados. I have booked PE and have been told the seatplan is a 2-2-2? I know it will be a TUI flight but can only see 2-3-2 plan. Is there anyone who has travelled in premium economy that knows the plan. I only ask as travelling with 2 youngsters. Thank you
  5. So basically, I can claim the VAT back before I leave at the airport, only to be charged it again when I arrive in the UK, a pain! So I have tried to get a refund, the back of the receipt says I can within 30 days, as long as it is not used or opened, but the manager will not give me one, stating it is already processed and that I will have to get it in my own country! What can I do?
  6. Hi, I have bought some jewellery on this Mediterranean cruise and was given the spiel on what a good deal it is as I can claim the VAT back at the airport before leaving for the UK. However, I have just looked up, all confusing, as do I declare when I get back to the UK what has been bought, in which case I will have to pay 20%? I went back to the store on ship as I thought it safer to get a refund but they said I would have to wait till I was back in the UK, this can't be right?
  7. And what about an acceptance email, could this still happen?
  8. What is the latest any of you have received the RoyalUp cabin? I only have 4 days to sail date and bid status is still saying submitted. Do I print current luggage tags?
  9. My vrother is in Paris now, and unlike Marseille, he says there are no issues, just an increased Police presence and security
  10. Sorry I should have said sailing on Symphony OTS
  11. Hi, I am waiting on a RoyalUp bid but having second thoughts. My current cabin is a boardwalk view balcony on 11th deck quite central and I have bid on an oceanview balcony and a junior suite. Could the oceanview balcony be in a worse location? Not concerned about the suite as that would be an all round upgrade after all. I have only put minimum bids for both.
  12. We will dock 11th July so hoping all ok
  13. Has anybody docked in Marseille amidst this unrest and are things OK?
