Chops Lunch On Embarkation Day.......
BecciBoo replied to Dayman9966's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Well I don't know where I've been but it was definitely not on the planner page....I had no idea it was per day! Wow I guess the $323 WAS correct I assumed the glitch was responsible. I thought $26.99 was a one time fee...DUH Nope, would definitely NOT purchase it now. Thanks. I feel stupid🤪 -
Another friend of ours did a group on one of the overwater cabanas. They enjoyed it, but I could never justify that expense now...and would you believe it, Odyssey has already sold out all of the cabanas everywhere and only one left of the day pass. Looks like somebody has money even in these inflated times!

I almost pulled the trigger again this morning on the $98 sale but it's awfully hard to pay double what you got it for last year! So elected not to. We loved the experience, but really $98 for just a Fried lobster sandwich, smaller private pool and a sea view...not so much. We will opt for the chicken sandwich and the Oasis Lagoon. I was almost the first one in the club that morning and so we snagged the circular beds right by the bar.

Chops Lunch On Embarkation Day.......
BecciBoo replied to Dayman9966's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I would suggest getting The Key instead which would not only include the Chops lunch day one, but also 1 device on Voom and priority boarding and luggage service. Black Fridy price is $26.99 pp....IF you can get the planner to work properly! -
Well, I can't do anything on my app....it says'"we're putting the finishing touches..."

Anyone having issues with payment for Black Friday?
BecciBoo replied to LuCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My C&A lady couldn't! I never clicked on pay, just to the cart, then removed the order fortunately didn't get on my card. But I would not be a happy camper if we missed the good price. I have like 4 emails out to various corp. peeps. -

BecciBoo replied to LuCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I tried every online procedure I knew to try to get our order for the discounted Key to no avail...even the Crown & Anchor agent couldn't pull up the right amount ($323 for 2!) 😆 And who has 2 hours to wait to talk to anybody on the cruise services line!! Yes, that's the wait time they told me! LOL So I emailed all my standard contacts. We'll see what the dope is! -
How Long After Disembarkation do I get the RCI Survey
BecciBoo replied to plettza's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Better be quick about it as we had an extended time away from home post cruise and my computer for another week after disembark and when we returned home, the invitation to reply would not work. If the survey isn't taken right away, it deactivates. I tried to call about it as I promised the wait staff I would mention them by name...but this survey is outsourced and that's what happens if you hesitate. So I would urge you to complete it asap. -
Oasis of the Seas Boardwalk Balcony (12329)
BecciBoo replied to hazeleyes46's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We had the Starboard side on Allure on the deck just under deck 12- 11729 and were extremely happy with it. Felt more private than the more inside cabins and less noise, and at the time (2014) we were just outside the "secret balcony" on deck 11 which sadly was turned into cabins. And the view to the wake was of course awesome as was the "in your face" Aqua Theater performances which we saw several times: Yours will be right next to the control booth portside. And with just the sheers drawn you can't see into the cabin in daytime. -
How is the Food on RCL vs Celebrity ?
BecciBoo replied to mcrcruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I have always appreciated some things about X's menus, food quality and offerings more, but it's not worth complaining about. But wish RCCL would offer the same coffee/pastry experience as Cafe' Al Bacio! MMMMMM Highly subjective, I know! -
Absolutely...education is key, anyone can be uninformed or misinformed, even TAs. I am an ACD type and I need control over important situations. Can't sleep while hubs is driving, etc. But, I have no one to blame in those cases but myself. I am just more comfortable because I usually leave no stone unturned. I am extremely cautious and detail oriented. Having said that, what really matters is what was done about compensation. It pays to know the proper person to turn to. Do your homework about email addresses and telephone numbers and who's who at the corporate level. It pays to bypass the low man on the totem pole sometimes. And adopting that philosophy has had much happier outcomes in general for all our complaints. RCCL has never failed us. And I am just being truthful, not a cheering section!

Any news of RCCL going back to in person muster drills?
BecciBoo replied to t18c97's topic in Royal Caribbean International
So you're saying that the muster drill conducted on the ship was of absolutely no help in that event aren't you? I think that was what I was alluding to. Yeah, you're absolutely right.....never mind..... -

BecciBoo replied to t18c97's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Pardon me, but we DO go to the muster station, we watch the drills on our phone app, we DO know exactly where the life preservers are...and I wouldn't think of shoving another person at all much less out of the way, but hey, some people have already thought about it...right??? -

Sounds like you just proved it was pretty Chaotic. Kudos to you who had it together, many wouldn't. -

They looked at the app on our phones, we didn't have our cards yet. The app shows whether you completed the safety. -

Which doesn't bode well for that old system! Didn't work anyway. -

And I did not! It felt like I would trip and fall down the stairs every time. For us oldsters, that aint easy. -

BecciBoo replied to t18c97's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Which is exactly what we do now, albeit is our phone or the TV, I'd much easier pay attention alone in our room than with tons of people milling about and joking on deck. Lots of them drunker than monkeys already! At least in the terminal or doing it when you first board you are sane and able to pay attention. The last couple we've been sitting waiting in terminal, I heard every word. -

BecciBoo replied to t18c97's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Gee Chief, just how perfect would ANYONE react under a real emergency? Don't think its really possible in real time...people are gonna panic it's human nature...how many drills do the crew do, it takes repetition to get it right. Remember the Concordia, that was way before the new drills and so many people were hurt and the whole thing was disaster from the standpoint of "getting the evac right". -
You will. On both our post Thanksgiving cruises, they started putting the deco out in the middle of them. November 24th and Nov. 15th on another We actually got to see the tree going up on one.

We've done MTD on almost all of our cruises since about 2015 mostly the big ships, never had to wait longer than about 5 minutes at around 7ish. Thats around maybe 15 cruises with no waiting to speak of. What a difference to most of you. These days because of dietary needs we re reverting back to early seating though.
