  1. hi all

    haven't followed this thread in awhile. but i have a question. we managed to secure 2X $500 obc at the 1.10 rate last year for each of our upcoming back to back cruises on the Jewel . can someone explain how we can turn these OBC into cash. Can i convert them to Euros on board ?

  2. If your booking has prepaid gratuities because of My Time dining, contact whoever booked your cruise and request the gratuities be removed.

    Thanks for clearing up the pre paying grats. We didnt have them included in our fare , i was told we had to prepay them but i guess that changed.

    I have another question if I call in to RCI and purchase a OBC using my Canadian credit card,and get the 1.10 rate . Then when we are on our trip use my American credit card for all my expenses pre cruise and during . At the end of the cruise can I cash the OBC out to my American Credit card so I have a Credit on the US Card to cover all the charges I occurred on the card. Effectively giving me a 1.10 exhange rate for the whole trip.

  3. we just booked our air2sea for our Rome B2B in Sept. The prices for the flights with air2sea were almost exactly the same as booking on our own, we had no problem picking the dates we wanted to fly ,arriving 2 days early and flying out the afternoon of our cruise arrival back in port.

    We watched the prices for a couple weeks and when i found the flight we wanted for an incredible price on a sunday morning we jumped on it. we also Managed to get the $250 discount RCL was offering to booked air with them on top of the other discounts

  4. is the canadian discount only for the jewel? i just called rcl for the oasis and they tell me there is no such discount. it would be amazing if there was.

    I called rcl directly got her to price the same cruise as the TA did she first quoted the just the 30% discount, I asked if the 15% resident discount was available, she checked and came back and said yes. then I asked about the flights and the 500 off the cruise discount and thats where she shut me down.

    Her prices are better then the TA but when the flight credit is applied the TA wins , I just like booking directly with the cruise line, but may have to use the TA this time as the trip is very expensive and every bit helps

  5. I have a question for my fellow Canadian cruisers . We are booking on the Jewel for a back to back in Sept 2016. RC is offering a 30% discount and an additional 15% Canadian resident discount which is a real bonus with the dollar

    Now here's the question- they also offer a 500 per couple discount off stateroom by booking air with them . our traveling companions got it thru a travel agent .I tried booking with RC direct and was told they could not combine the 3 discounts but could give us a crown and anchor discount of $40 has any of you been able to get the air combined with the 15%

  6. my wife, daughter and myself are on the epic in 2 weeks and were concerned about the privacy issue as well. so I booked a room close to the gym, as i always do and while the girls are getting ready and showering I head down to the gym and do my thing- problem solved.

  7. i booked my epic cruise directly with NCL a few month back for a March 15 sailing. at the time we could pick from a 200 credit or a udp or a ubp we picked the beverage package. where on my ncl online profile would it show that i am signed up for the beverage package.

  8. Was wondering if you could give some suggestions on what to do on New years eve in Fll. We are a group of 13 family members with teenage kids Staying at the Hyatt North Pre cruise. . Hoping to find a nice restraunt we can make reservations at and maybe head out for some fireworks and entertainment later on.

    thanks

  9. Well, I tried - but no cigar! I started at $110 and went up to $138 and no go. I added all the areas I could and nothing. I will try again in a few days and see.

     

    Thanks for all your help!
