    Unlikely.

    The app lists a band called The Dukes Live! in the Music Hall - not rock but dance music.

    Hard to judge as many of the places you frequent are not locals. Like Alaska, many of the staff go there for the season. Many of the others are tourists from Europe. In Flam there were busloads of tourists (came to ride the train). The ports are being converted to shore power (two of the stops had that on the itinerary) so that may also limit the ships without such hook up.

    I assume that is at booking time, not at the pier.

    What an RCI CSR (even supervisor) says and what happens in reality can be quite different.
  6. Biker19
    Who confirmed what? I don't recall anyone ever reporting needing to show anything at check-in regardless of what kind of discount was booked.

    BELLA FORTUNA ex SONG OF AMERICA wird verschrottet – Cruisedeck

    The app has a bunch of test and perhaps some real sailings listed before the inaugural. Her AIS transponder seems to be sending some incorrect signals at the moment.

    Mattress replacements seem to be ongoing - several cabins had them replaced during turn around day today.

    On some ships, check in is limited to the app only, not available on the web site. Fix the issue at the pier.

    Welcome to CC. Sometime later this summer a 2026-27 deployment thread will be started similar to the one linked above. All ship itineraries will be discussed in that thread. The actual info won't be available for another 4+ months but plenty of speculation will be had.

    Left the ship around 8:30 (they were calling tags through 18), took a 9:01 train, got to the airport at 9:19 but luggage drop off, security and immigration took almost an hour.
  13. Biker19
    Some cabins are getting new mattresses.
  14. Biker19
    Very rarely- the inventory is simply not there with the ships being so full. Also rare, though it happens, you might luck into a price drop inside final payment where a paid upgrade might be less than the min bid.
  15. Biker19
    No, but you can ask for that either before the first cruise via email (rcldining@rccl.com) or the host early during the first sailing.

    Biker’s work day extended further than planned.

    Download the OBC amount into the machine and hit cash out. Some have reported not being able to do this with non-refundable without playing some of it - I think they are a minority.
  18. Biker19
    @twangster or @Hoopster95 - I couldn’t get a clear pic through the rain soaked window of the helo drive by - did you?
  19. Biker19
    You can likely cash out the OBC via the casino slot machine, even if non-refundable.
  20. Biker19
    Count yourself lucky as many times they don’t allow subsequent attempts on a different day. Also, “passing” and ability to get the blue wrist band is very subjective based on staff- you just happened to get some not so friendly ones. Many times your described attempts would qualify for the blue wrist band.
  21. Biker19
    Most experienced RCI cruisers know not to waste time calling when it's after final payment as there won't be any price drops.
  22. Biker19
    No, the moral is - know the RCI final payment date, which is the one that governs any price drops.
  23. Biker19
    The thing is, you might already be too late - RCI's ability (port ship limits) and willingness to offer itineraries such as this one may quite limited or non-existent in the future. Biker, who sailed it due to the threat of not being able to do it in the future (on RCI).
  24. Biker19
    It is just as it says - RCI may make a reservation for you the first night. You can change this on board along with making the rest of the reservations.
