Goodtime Cruizin

I am trying to book a corner aft for 3 and it won't show it (1700 or 1400), only gives me 7708 or 7408. I really don't like the forward facing view of that deck. I prefer deck 10. Do you think if I call them, i can book it?

Yes, call them or select 2 cabins needed. Then it allows you make a selection. Then back out of the 2nd cabin.

Yes they did....

I was no dice on Navigator as well. I didn't pursue it though. I believe the category is now a 1B & the hump balconies upper deck are a 2B

A moment ago, I just received my email from the Royal Caribbean Marketing Department alerting me to the "Adventure" sailings for fall 2018 and winter 2019 released today "exclusively" for Crown and Anchor Members.

 

Fortunately, I booked my sailings yesterday and likely would not have gotten the cabins I wanted had I waited for this email to arrive.

 

Did anyone get an email yesterday or am I the only one getting notifications a day late?

I have. One day late for each of the last three weeks. I got a better one. I received a call from Maria, a RCCL vacation planner specialist, about a month ago. She asked if she could help me reserve a cruise. I told her I was waiting for the release of the 2018 Baltic Cruises. She said she'd follow up and call as soon as they were released. She called me 4 days after they were released. I told her I had already booked a GS and thanked her. Three hours later she called me back having no clue that she had already called me. Strange is all I can say.

Most likely the best selection & tasting Margaritas you'll find on the ship!

Just go by the price per day gauge - anything above $100pp is not a deal.

2018-2019 sail dates, $100/day will get you a inside cabin, :p

This.

:) Very informative post Hank. Thanks so much. It helped me to decide on using Uber for our upcoming trip.

One question. What size Uber would you ask for with two people and two large pieces of luggage? An XL?

Jan

You should request XL. Enjoy your cruise!

Uber has an 'off site' parking at MIA. They are not allowed to congregate at the airport like taxis do. Using the Uber App, they can/will be on site within a few minutes for pick up. Download the app, request an Uber and you should good to go.

We use scrabble magnet letters... it's fun, and entertaining to see others spell out a phrase of some sort.

Just booked the third & last cruise on the new releases...each released one week apart. This one was for a Hump Balcony on the Navi, 9 days, Southern Caribbean out of Miami. We're set until next year at about this time!

I'm not sure if they have changed sales policy or if they just have many more products to offer/sell today than even 5 years ago. There is no doubt that RCCL has many more products, pleasures, and amenities to enjoy these days, thus they will sell them accordingly.

MSC-Divina cruise out of Miami. Collapsed while playing in the middle of a set.

6 RCCL cruises, 5 ships, WJ was good to go in my books. Although there was one time at lunch on the Indy, there was no knives, forks, etc. We had to wait 15 mins. So our food grew cold and we had to start all over again.

It's been awhile since I've seen it as part of the online website process, but I did place a 24 hr hold on two different cabins via phone w/ a rep this week. She obliged when I inquired and within a couple of hours I called back to secure & confirm both cabins. So perhaps it's by request only via phone???

Thankfully this has never happened to us, but what if you put a deposit down on a suite and later find out that the ship is chartered? Will you get your deposit back if RCCL bumps you off of the cruise?

 

What if it's a large group, but not a full charter, and you feel that your cruise would be negatively impacted by the presence of said group? Will RCCL allow you to switch sailings without losing your deposit?

I personally would hope so. I mean if RCCL cancelled on me, I'd expect some form of compensation no different than they would expect some form of compensation if I cancelled on them.

Partial charters or large groups, I don't believe they would refund. Full charters they have in the past allowed re-scheduling & offered a small OBC etc.

I posted this on another thread & I'm pretty sure some will not agree w/ me on this....but I'm one that believes a $100 cancellation fee per person when cancelling after 30 days should apply with any & all reservations. What I see is Cabin Hogs wishing for RCCL to 'commit' to them by holding specific cabins on specific sail dates while refusing to commit to RCCL by using faux reservations and taking multiple cabins off of inventory. If one removes a cabin from inventory, one should use it and/or expect to pay a penalty for cancellation. Given that this new policy allows one to cancel within 30 days w/o penalty is plenty of time to finalize vacation decisions. If one can't figure it out in 30 days, one shouldn't book. I just placed a $900 deposit for two people/on cruise. Believe me, I'd hate to lose that money if an unfortunate circumstance came up to where I could not make the cruise. But I also realize that I had a choice in booking a cabin 15 months in advance thus not allowing a business the opportunity to sell their product. Again I recognize that some will not agree w/ my position, but don't beat me up too much. :)

Just checked and most (if not all) the GS on Brilliance are up in price today.

 

Looks like the GS party is over.

Yeppers, up $500 since 11am today. It didn't last long. I guess I should have re-checked before I posted. I just did a mock booking and there are no GS left available for the May 1st sailing. Interesting.

GS are priced as the JS, or vice versa on many of the Brilliance's newly released sail dates. Perhaps they are attempting to move folks to the GS cabins or maybe it's a glitch. Having said this, there is a large gap in price between a balcony and a JS. Approx. $2100, which seems very odd. As a suggestion, if you have a JS booked, keep an eye out for decreases as I think it will eventually occur. In the meantime, we selected GS1600 as we wanted a corner aft and given that 1100 was priced the same as 1600, we went for the space and the suite perks that comes w/ it.

Uber yes. Lyft no.

Love the "jammer" too although of late we do get a little disappointed on formal nights as there are always a few who come in for a snack in their tuxes and gowns and destroy it's ambience.

Throw a flip flop at them. This is unacceptable.

I booked today @ 1:11pm. Received my C&A letter announcing the cruise I booked at 4:38pm. ;)

And therein lies the problem.

Agreed.

Has RC lost their marbles? Looked at the 12-day Russian cruise on Navigator and they're looking for $6800 for the cheapest balcony. I booked a later 14-day also on Navigator for $4800 balcony. Amazing price per night differences for 2018.

I think so! The 14 day Brilliance out of Amsterdam has their GS for $500 less than the balcony on the 12 day on Navigator!

I called 866-562-7625 to book direct. Several times. In quite a few times. LOL Finally, around 1pm as a previous rep stated, Brilliance was available to book.
