    Right, Captain Ban was the alternate Captain, my mistake. I believe Claus Andreson was the captain and he moved on to other ships after the incident. One of several threads from the time:

    Welcome to CC.

    PSA.

    You might want to enlighten the chief and others which ship/when you are talking about.

    Captain Ban is still at the helm of Q class ships and no, sales didn't go down on Athem or other ships after that incident (106.4% occupancy in 2016, the year of the incident and 108.4% in 2017). Folks have short memories, despite the media hype.

    Somehow, I don't think OP would see it that way.

    Can’t remember the last time we had a live refurb thread.

    Don’t ever sail Grandeur.

    No, call C&A directly and tell them you sailed on a solo booking -they may tell you their system says otherwise at which point you'll have to take up the issue with your TA.

    All ships go into dry dock every five years during the first 20 years of service - how much "refurbishment" takes place during those varies.

    The reporting suggests that (6:45 set dining) is only a possible option on board.
  12. Biker19
    That is normal so not sure what you saw for 3.
  13. Biker19
    Most reports, including the OP, suggest you are an exception.
  14. Biker19
    Yes, solo points for a no show was the norm pre-2020.
  15. Biker19
    That doesn't sound right. The initial push back may have been due to the GTY booking being limited to new bookings only.
  16. Biker19
    The policy since early 2020 has been that you no longer get the extra point for solo when you have a booking for two and a no show for the second person. The booking needs to be modified to a solo booking before sailing to get the extra points. Anyone that got the extra points for a now show since then is rare and were just lucky.

    It might be worth a few $ on eBay.

    You may not have removed her properly to turn the last booking into a solo to get the extra solo points - the booking needs to be converted to a solo when removing the second person. There should be no charges (though RCI may want to reprice at current rates) and yes, the fees should be refunded.

    You may want to get used to the app - on some ships, the app is the only way to check in.

    Welcome to CC. Yes, you can prepay the cabin grats - you have to on all other purchases. $18pppd for the cabin 18% on drink package.
  22. Biker19
    Unlikely.

    Like CC, don't look for sympathy on social media: Cruise Passenger Criticized After Complaining About 'Obstructed View' (cruisehive.com)
  24. Biker19
    Yes, though be kind and stay out of the way of the crew - don't go in and out of the cabin all morning.
  25. Biker19
    Nothing wrong with posting in an older thread.
