Easy for me…. Favorites are Port Canaveral and Tampa because they’re close to us. After those, any FL port. Least favorite is any port I have to fly to get there.

But still wondering out of curiosity how they decide who gets blocks and in what order. From what I’ve seen here and the other social page, some people have received their blocks for cruises taken well after others who are waiting for that same ship. RC seems to not know how it’s done because I’ve asked a few times! The logic on how to do it seems so easy. First in, First out. But we all know how the IT is on Royal. It seems they just have all who are waiting in a big bucket and just pull out random names like in a raffle.

We’re still waiting for Odyssey 280 from April too. I don’t understand how they decide who gets them. You would think the longer one waits they would be next, but that doesn’t appear to be how it works unfortunately.

I called and was told that they’re out of stock, which is crazy because people are getting them, including our friends that were on our Odyssey cruise with us.

Is anyone still waiting for Odyssey block? Our friends on the same cruise as us received theirs. Should I call C and A?

I don’t understand the “certificates”. Was it shareholder credit? If so, that’s usually added in a day or two and you will see it in the cruise planner.

We do the same.

Our mail delivery is BAD on a good day, so I hope it comes another way other than USPS. We have never had so many problems with mail delivery until the past couple of years. Our roads are still bad here so not even sure we will get mail today.

I’m still waiting for 1 Odyssey. I called C&A yesterday just to be sure we’re in their queue and was told ours is “pending”. How did you get these last night? We didn’t even get mail yesterday, all services were closed due to the hurricane.☹️

It’s really not so bad booking once onboard, except for the comedy on Oasis class because of the size of the room. And on all the cruises we’ve taken since the restart, the only other time we even saw a full theatre was for The Book on Odyssey. We usually like to sit on the back anyway, so it’s a non issue for us…..except for comedy.

I haven’t been getting the power up emails for awhile now. Does anyone else have this issue? I don’t know how to restart getting them. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I agree 💯 percent. He definitely was both popular and unpopular, but he was very patient and helpful and we received a couple of days refund when we didn’t have it at all. Most days we had to be sitting at a certain table in the promenade to get any reception at all. I will welcome starlink if it’s better.

It can’t be soon enough. Internet was terrible on the Voyager TA.

We currently have 6 upcoming cruises and all but one say “my cruise” in the upper left. I have no idea why. These are all booked with a couple of different TAs. Maybe the TA put us in a group cruise? I often wondered why as I’ve noticed this before. Edited to add that none of our upcoming cruises are open for Checkin yet

Voyager has it up by the windjammer.

We prefer the smaller Radiance class for these reasons: They’re small enough to get close to interesting ports They always have a ship in Tampa port which is close to us I love the ocean and as long as I can see it I’m fine on any ship, so Radiance class fits perfectly I cruise to relax and unwind and the large ships have too many people for me

If you are paying for your own trip and you have your OWN RESERVATION hooked to your credit card, I don’t know how anyone else could see your account. Even my husband can’t see my account because I have the credit card attached to our reservations, but I see his charges along with mine. But IMO why at your age are you allowing anyone to bully you into trying to hide what you do?

We want to book a Celebrity cruise and will be on Mariner in a couple of weeks and wondered if we could just book it at the Next Cruise desk while we’re onboard? Has anyone done that?
