Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Has anyone held a family reunion on the ship? if so what activities/excursions did you do? Our reunion will be on the Oasis this summer, and I'm trying to avoid a situation where everyone is scattered doing separate activities and there's no "togetherness." Its a fairly large group, hence the difficulty. Any suggestions?
  2. Yep. Well, it turns out that speaking with someone else did the trick this time.
  3. Ok, so I spoke with a different agent at RCI and gained clarity around the deposit. The way it was explained before is that they ENTIRE group had to pay their deposit within 30 days or the group rate is forfeited--for everyone. The person I just spoke with said as long as someone does a deposit within 30 days the group rate is held, people can pay the deposit when they can, and final payment is due next March for us. This works perfectly as I am prepared to pay a deposit for two cabins myself. I just didn't know everyone else's ability to immediately pay, but I know everyone would pay at least within the next 2-3 months. I'm relieved. It's very hard to get 40-50 people on the same accord.
  4. Sounds like a great time! Great idea about how to use the credit. How did you set up the private group activities? And please excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is a cabin crawl? 🙂
  5. Has anyone ever coordinated a group cruise with Royal? I spoke to their groups department, but they have a few policies that I feel may turn some people off from booking. For example, everyone in the group has to pay $250 deposit within 30 days, and the sailing isn't until next summer. I'm concerned that asking, for example, a family of 4 to immediately fork over $1000 might dissuade them from taking part. And they don't include 3-4 person cabins in groups. Should I try to speak with someone else? Any tips for a planning a successful group cruise with them?
  6. Can you use points to purchase gift cards?
  7. When you sign into your profile on Canival.com, how can you see the cruise fare type that you booked under? And, is there a way to change from assigned dining to anytime dining and/or vise versa?
  8. People are so judgemental and snippy on here sometimes. Hope you have a great stress-free cruise. Please keep us updated. Thanks for posting to forewarn us.
  9. What, if anything, can you do to get on board credit if there's a price drop if you didn't book an Early Saver rate?
  10. Ive done both, and though the balconies are nice, I don't feel they are worth the extra because all of us has access to a big, free balcony called the Lido deck. 😁 One thing that I really didn't enjoy about the balcony is that I seem to always be next to people who want to sneak and smoke, ugh.
  11. Thanks!! Where is Ocean Plaza on the Magic?
