Could anyone tell me if you can transfer booking of the yearly "free" tier cruise, to a TA for added perks/ OBC. Or if you can book outright thru a TA.

Thanks for  any info.

Love aft balconies, the only drawback to deck 9, is that deck 10 can look down and see the majority of your balcony. Deck 7,10 are the best IMO.

She will get her free Prime cruise after the current evaluation period ends on March 31st. The offer code typically shows up on the Club Royale site around the second week in April. 

 

Any instant reward offers earned on a particular cruise are tied to the points earned on that cruise. It doesn't take into account your current tier status. You typically get dollars off up to 1200 points earned.

 

Mail offers lately have been for a complimentary room for two (sometimes for one with a discounted rate for two). Sometimes the room is only a guarantee. The type of offer and cabin category seems to vary with how much you've been playing.

 

You can't combine points after they are earned, but two people can play on the same account at the same time to earn points on one account. This is advantageous when one person has already made it to Prime and wants to help the other get to Prime. Talk to the casino host at the beginning of the cruise to get an additional card for use in the casino. 

Thank you, this might work out perfectly, I have a cruise in the last week of March and I'm trying to get to prime before the end of the  casino calendar year, I believe that's April 1.

Does anyone know if  you can combine points, Lets say husband and wife. My wife is prime with 4200 pt, I'm still choice with about 2000. Also shouldn't she get a "free" cruise. She became prime 7/2023, but still no offers for a free cruise just $ off. Thanks for any info.

In the next 10 yrs RCI will have dispensaries onboard. They'll be selling the "ultimate weed package", which includes unlimited snacks. If the RCI bean counters think they can make money off something, you can bet it will be on the ship.

I wonder how much this cost.

Anthem is coming up on ten years old and heading to dry dock. After just getting off of her, she needs some work done. Johnny Rockets can go away and they can add Playmakers up in the Seaplex. After that, we'll welcome her back out of Bayonne in the Winters.

Totally agree, I've been on Anthem a number of times(my home port). She's getting a little old. Need some of the newer venues, change of shows. But she's the perfect ship for winter sailing from NJ.  The last time I was on anthem was in Nov. Horrible weather, with the outdoor  pool decks being closed for most of the week. That's when I realized that if this was on Odyssey, the solarium would of been an absolute mess. I've been on Odyssey before, and loved her,  but the open pool deck is a hard pass for me with a winter sailing. Unfortunately it looks like Odyssey will be here for the 24-25 winter, and the 25-26 winter as well.

Depends on if they allow under 18 in the solarium.  Maybe they will actually kick out chair hogs ... one can wish.  If Odyssey sells out, they have no incentive to change ships.

 

Did they do winter sailings from Cape Liberty before Quantum?  I know Explorer (no indoor pool + open solarium) had sailed from CL, but I don't know if she did in the winter.

 

Also, Vision class seems to manage winter sailings from Baltimore without an indoor family pool and 18+ solarium.

I'm under the impression , that kids will be allowed in the solarium .

I personally am fine with Odyssey.  I think I used the indoor pool twice during the 75 nights I've sailed on Anthem. 

 

I'd rather have El Loco Fresh than JR

Look forward to Playmakers

Look forward to an open MDR 

May try Teppanyaki

Will miss the WJ outdoor seating

The problem is all the people  ( including kids), jammed into the solarium on the first 2 ,and last 2 days on a winter sailing

It's basically a cold weather ship, that rci thought it would be a good idea to take the roof off the indoor pool and drop it in florida. Next RCI thought it would be a good idea to take that open pool deck ship and sail it out of NJ in the winter.  IMO you would be nuts to sail on this ship in NJ winter, especially when kids are not in school. The solarium will be a madhouse.

You guys are dealing with chump change. I scored a sweet 62k discount today. The C&A discount really came in handy today.

Odyssey (coming to Cape Liberty Nov. 2024) deletes indoor pool (same pool but no cover) and adds one two level dining room.  Also adds Playmakers.

I was also on the cruise to nowhere, with horrible  weather (11-12-23). If this scenario happens on Odyssey, there will be a lot of unhappy passengers, And one super crowded soluriam. Love Odyssey, one of my favorite ships, but a huge mistake  IMO,having her sail out of NJ  in the winter.

Just got off Anthem on Sunday.  Capt. said 3 of the 4 engines were rebuilt, working on the last one, and all was going as planned. The last engine should be completed in 2 weeks.

There is a difference between how they treat minor children travelling with parents who are in a suite vs and adult who is not booked in a suite

Well if this is the case, I'll do this all the time with my kids. If it works sounds like the way to go.

Hello,

 

we have 6 people(2 adults 4 teens) traveling with us and we booked a crown loft suite and a normal balcony. Due to the age restrictions on the rooms my wife had to be assigned to the normal room . I would really like her to be able to enjoy the sky suite perks still with me. Do you think royal will allow her to get a key that has access to the loft suite and can get perks? 

I tried to get suite access for my MIL (who has  super duper status  on celebrity, whatever that is, lol), would only allow 1 night , because we were celebrating my daughters 16th bday.This was on Oasis. I understand both sides, but if you want them to at least have dinner with you, book them a jr suite. If they allowed this, everyone with kids would do this.

No way North star or Ifly are worth those prices. RCI bean counters are going nuts.

Family cruising to Bermuda June 2024. Past Royal cruiser but haven’t been in several years. What do you need to make reservations for and how do you go about doing this? Cruising on Liberty of the Seas.
Thank you. 

 Reservations are not needed on liberty for the shows. Just get to the theater, Ice rink early.

Hi , I' m new to the casino Royale program. I've reached prime (3400 points). Was looking at the offers and there all $200 -300 off promos. Aren't you supposed to get a "free" cruise for reaching prime, should I contact them. Thanks for any info.

Thanks. That makes sense. Now if they could only figure out that they need a suites only beach like they have on Labadee…

Actual they make more money, by not having a suites only beach. Anyone can go to barefoot beach, you just need to book a cabana. 

Any UDP or 3 nt dining package on Oasis. You must go to Izumi on the first day to make your reservation for hibachi.( Izumi would not  allow me to make any Reservation for the other specialty restaurants) For all other reservations, you can go to any  restaurant. If you really want to go to hibachi , I suggest that It be your first stop as soon as you get onboard.

I wish parents would supervise their kids in the Windjammer. Some touch the food directly with their hands, one even used their hand to grab spaghetti 🤮

There are plenty of Adults that need supervision as well.Some are just plain nasty.

I bought two, hoping it will give us four internet log ins and two bottles of champagne. 
 

I don’t care about any of the other stuff, so hoping it works out.

Agreed, wife and I are in 2 separate rooms each with one of our kids. It wouldn't let me select my kid during check out. So hopefully we get 2 internet logins each.  Will save me a lot on the internet package.

$82.99 for me as well. This will be the first time  on a cruise without the DBP for me.

To me its well worth it to not have to wake up super early  to try and  find a couple of chairs together on the pool deck. Oasis pool deck is a mess on sea days.

We are going to Coco cay and we have a Cabana on Chill Island. However there are 9 of us 6 adults and 3 children. Is there a way to add an extra person?

Just give your cabana attendant  a little extra cash when you check in. They'll have no problem giving you an extra wristband.
