What a wonderful idea! We don't want to rent a car, but I love the idea of lunch at a golf course as a way to force at least part of the drive. Thank you so much!

Radiance of the Seas will stop in Monterey on Sunday, May 7, 2023. My companion and I are looking for a small tour (or even an uber!) to drive the 17 mile drive and drop us off in Carmel. After a few hours, we'd want an uber to take us back to Monterey. So far, all we've found is tours from San Francisco. The ship excursion is a full size bus that costs $117 per person, which is a bit outside of our budget. Has anyone else had experience with a port stop in Monterey? Is it easy to pick up transportation near the port? Does anyone know of tour companies in the area that could put together a small group tour? Thanks for any help!

Whoops - spoke too soon! My credit card company gave me a permanent credit for one of the charges. As for the second charge, Royal refunded only half of it and my credit card company closed the dispute. So now I have applied to reopen that dispute, to get the other half back. I have a valid charge for $650, plus an additional charge of $325. My fear is that Royal will somehow cancel the valid one, so I will no longer have the drink package at the Black Friday price of $54.99.

Yes, I found a tab on my disputes page to report multiple charges for the same transaction. The card immediately took those charges off of my statement. A few weeks later, I got a letter saying that Royal Caribbean had also found the mistake and reversed the charges. It all worked out in the end.

I was hoping that was the case. But they moved from pending to full transactions yesterday. I'm glad it was an otherwise empty credit card. I don't mind carrying a $2000 balance for a few days, but I want it to be resolved before the payment date.

I took advantage of the Black Friday sale to buy a drink package, and was charged three times for it. I've seen other people on a different social media site saying the same thing happened to them. Has anyone learned how RC is going to handle this? Should I be contacting my credit card company, or do we think this will be resolved automatically?
