    Welcome to CC. There's very little feedback from Spectrum, but you might search some of the threads related to her to see if UDP is mentioned. Regardless of the feedback, it's still a good idea to book the venues as soon as you board.

    That seems to happen sometimes on O class (offer low/no surcharge solo rates) when they need to fill the ship. Much less likely to happen on other classes.
  3. Biker19
    Welcome to CC. What you saw on Symphony is not the norm - the norm is 200% solo surcharge.

    The reporting of speed caps is sparse and can change over time. Assume your ship is limited to 4Mbps and be pleasantly surprised if you get more. For most uses you won’t perceive much diff regardless of cap level. The bigger issue is reliability, not speed.

    I don't recall Enchantment going there in since the restart.
  6. Biker19
    That varies by port, but when they enforce check in times you usually have to wait outside.
  7. Biker19
    The diff may be that they might let you on the ship without one for Martinique but you can't go ashore. I don't recall RCI going there recently.
  8. Biker19
    Probably not intentionally but as the saying goes folks have eyes bigger than their stomachs.
  9. Biker19
    It's not Barbados, but Martinique which needs it. RCI very rarely goes there.
  10. Biker19
    You need a passport to go ashore in Martinique - the oddball of the Carribean.
  11. Biker19
    Yes. Your C&A level doesn't make any diff for check in (other than Pins). Others may weigh in whether Galveston staff enforce the check in times.
  12. Biker19
    That is low season but availability will vary by ship and prices may be higher than now.

    He/she might but the reason you get a discount on the package is the lack of certainty of dates/times before boarding.
  16. Biker19
    Yes, though the drop off may not be available that much earlier (1-2 hours) than the earliest check in time.

    The F&F flier updated yesterday with the same NE focus: RCI Travel Agent Reduced Rates.xls - Compatibility Mode (rccl.com)
  18. Biker19
    Unless you are in Star Class suites, you either have to book/pay for the specialty dining in the planner now (likely cheaper) or ask the concierge to do it for you (at the on board price).
  19. Biker19
    Maybe, or they may add slots to existing excursions.
  20. Biker19
    Most RCI decisions are $ based. Long repos have some unique features - like the multiple specialty dining packages (the 5 is usually only offered on much longer sailings). They may sell more of those and don't want to discount to the UDP level. Or, the UDP could show up tomorrow.
  21. Biker19
    Or, they may never offer it.
  22. Biker19
    Cruisedeckplans also has pics. You can also look at Vision's sister, Rhapsody.
  23. Biker19
    Welcome to CC and coming out of lurk mode. That may depend on the cabin steward and even that particular sailing (depending on how much other work that steward has) but if you ask nicely, they may put it up every day.
  24. Biker19
    Until RCI got a better deal on bottles.
  25. Biker19
    It varies.
