Thanks. I just checked my email. In July 2023, I asked my TA to remove my wife from my Wonder of the Seas sailing. TA confirmed the removal and the eventual refund of taxes and fees. The cruise was in October 2023. I did not get double points. Should I have the TA call Royal Caribbean?

Here's a list of Amped and Revitalized ships: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/General_Info/2024_Fleet_Guide_Highlights.pdf

Thanks everyone for your input. @Ourusualbeach, what has been your personal experience as a TA performing this booking adjustment? Is there a "code" that's needed? From what has been stated earlier, just saying "remove person x from the booking" is not sufficient.

My wife won't be sailing with me on my upcoming cruise. I would like to convert my booking into a solo that qualifies for double points. On a previous sailing she decided not to go, I had her removed from the booking but did not receive double points. Is there a way the booking has to be coded so that I will receive double points? Will there be any additional charges assuming everything else stays the same? Will there be a refund of the port fees and taxes?

Those options can be combined with any/all of the following A) Tipping cash as you see fit B) Thanking crew members for their dedication and hard work C) Whining about tipping on Cruise Critic

Amazing! I love it. I deleted the data in my matrix spreadsheets (app and restaurants/bars) and am directing viewers and collaborators to your site. Thanks for putting this together.

Was it the Jim Carey clip that ultimately changed your mind?

Maybe a Disney ship, or two, will be there.

Does the barcode trick reveal any information?

Doable, but very risky and not recommended. You'll have to be among the first to disembark. Having passports will make the process a bit faster. Your driver will need to be there waiting for you. Pre-check at the airport will also save some time.

And this is what happened!

Yes, I have one more Carnival cruise left. I only booked it to compare Celebration Key to Coco Cay. I think the financial reason is their agreement with Wireless Maritime Services.

Hmmm. Which is worse, bird poop or monkey pee?

I look forward to spending a few hours in Hamilton. I also enjoy the bus ride there and back.

I think it will take a week or so for the planner to update. Maybe longer seeing that they have to make accomodations for each and every changed sailing.

Liberty of the Seas June 20th cruise update:

Different cruise line but here is my timeline to catch a 10:19am flight out of MIA. Others also relate earlier flight times.

I do not have Facebook. Can someone please ask John Heald a question for me? Why is wifi calling blocked on Carnival cruise ships? Is it because of their with agreement with Wireless Maritime Services? Is there a security reason? Network congestion or other technical reason? Wifi calling works on their competitor's ships, Royal Caribbean. I find it frustrating that I can't receive multi factor authentication codes via text message for certain sites/services I need to access such as banking and work related sites. I couldn't even use VPN for work. However, VPNs being blocked, I can somewhat understand that.

Amazing!!!! I would have had major anxiety. I'm glad y'all made it.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I did not initially check my luggage. However, when it was announced at the gate they will do a courtesy check for groups A thru D, I decided to have my suitcase checked.

A woman I chatted with in the casino while we were waiting said she was flying out of FLL and had a 10am flight! I think that's really pushing with. She also caught a shuttle but was placed in the FLL shuttle. We wished each other well.

@mz-s The regular security screening lines didn't look too bad. But that would have added to my stress.

I carried off to ensure a speedier process. I also have a passport so I just had to scan my face. Whew! I'm glad I'm not wanted in any of the 50 states or territories.... I would have missed my flight!

Ship - Celebration Port - Port Miami 10:19am flight from Miami International Airport. Boarding starts at 9:44am. -Disembarkation started at 7am for Diamond, Platinum, Suite, and Faster to the Fun guests -Next group - guests waiting in the casino on deck 7. Disembarkation started at 7:25am for this group. (I disembarked with this group) -Made it through customs and outside the building - 7:38am -Shuttle is pulling off at 7:43am ($10 fare + $3 tip) - Not pre-planned. A rep from a shuttle company approached several people and I accepted. Probably only waited three minutes for two more passengers. Shuttle was then full. -Arrived at the entrance of my terminal at the airport - 8:06am -Finished TSA pre check - 8:15am -Sitting in my gate area - 8:22am Things worked out for me but YMMV.
