I usually review our upcoming cruises daily. I'm thinking the loyalty discount is a bit of a marketing ploy. The day before the loyalty discount verbiage showed up, the same discount was advertised as a pre-cruise rate.

Opportunities to sell for sure.

Shorts during the day, pants at night.

I've seen most of them and enjoyed Mama Mia the best -- hands down! We even went to see it twice in one week 😍

In addition, other people may opt in to the Move Up program creating empty cabins if their bid is accepted.

We were just on the Adventure for Christmas and New Year's. Early dinner was most definitely 5:00 and I wasn't happy about it. Dinner at 5:30 was already a challenge for me, let alone 5:00 when I got on board 🙄

I've seen that multiple times on RCI's website. I chalked it up to their infamous IT department 🙄

We have used our D+ BOGO for Chops lunch on two different cruises. So based upon our experiences, the anwer is yes.

To clarify further, I personally went to the Future Cruise Desk while on board in December. The rep specifically told me that after the New Year, the Future Cruise Certs would be non-refundable 😞

We just got off the Adventure of the Seas for both Christmas and New Year’s. Other than the ship being decorated, there wasn’t a big difference. However, there are a lot of kids. Not all were well behaved, which is actually a reflection on their parents.

Yes, if the certificate is not applied within the specified time, it's forfeited. This was a recent change in the New Year. The Future Cruise Desk specifically told us this.

I just got off a ship for Christmas and New Year's. The Future Cruise Desk advised us that after the New Year the Future Cruise Certificates would no longer be refundable. Use it or lose it!

Thanks so much for your insight. We have been considering the MSC Yacht Club as well. Unfortunately, not all travel agents work with them. The only thing that discouraged us from booking was their horrible, land-side customer service reviews. How was your booking experience, accuracy, any issues?

It's my understanding that the Apex and Ascent are sister ships. Therefore, any differences would be minimal. If you enjoyed the Apex, I'd save the $800.

We just booked a 9-night on Connie 11-21-24 that stops in New Orleans!
