Exact! I can book a RCI Quantum of the Seas Star Class suite out of LA for less then that!

Agreed! I just booked a 6 day RCI cruise in a Star Class suite for less than that! I’ll wait to see if prices drop.

I had them but my daughter did not. Now she has Blue Extras.

Earlier in the year I submitted my Elite Princess status and received Deep Blue Status. A few weeks ago I submitted my DD's Diamond RCI status and she received just the Blue status. I am not sure if it was the status level or the timing that made the difference. 🤷‍♀️

We will be in 16021 in October this year. Hopefully it will be similar to your experience!

There is nothing like it! I still dream about those crab cakes. Yummmmm!😍

That’s Me! You are not alone with those feelings.

We are on that one too and the following Cabo cruise. Can’t wait to try her out!

I was successful months ago (Elite Princess, Platinum NCL, Diamond Royal) but just submitted my DD’s (Diamond Royal). I’ll keep you posted.

I'd book that in a heartbeat. Do you think it is legit?

Thanks - good to know. We just got of HOS and my DD should now be Diamond. Once she gets that status I will submit the form for her. Thanks again. Have a wonderful cruise! Enjoy those sea days - they go by fast!

Wait, back it up. Can you please elaborate on this? I will be on Scarlet Lady for the 10-day Med cruise in October. I have DBE but my DD who I am traveling with does not. She won't be able to partake in the perks? Who do I email? Thanks for doing this LIVE. Following along 😀 Safe travels!

It really is not about how we think/feel about the subject. It is about the laws pertaining to each country we travel into, and each cruise line's rules (that we sign off on). If you are willing to break those laws/rules then you must be willing to pay the consequences.

So I was able to book a 4-night cruise out of LA on the Quantum - it's the first LA sailing - in October 2025 in a Grand Loft Suite for under $6000 when it was released. Drunk HBC may, or may not have, booked the B2B 6-night Cabo cruise following that one while she was onboard the Harmony. 😜 That cruise is more expensive but I also got $1000 OBC for that booking because I booked onboard. I suppose I can pay $100 to change the cruise if I need to but for now I will hold them both. The prices have already gone up!

Enjoy your cruise! Yes, we tipped our cabana server between 15%-20% of our food and drink costs. Just like we would a waiter. We used cash for the tips but CC for the cabana, food, drinks and massage fees.
