Is the cruise paid for?  Is the workmate not coming on the cruise for certain?  Does the travel agent know any of this?  Are you past the paid in full date?  

 

Lots of things factor into this.

Cruise is not paid off yet

I am going solo due to the workmate (bullying issues from them due to an external person who is not work related)

full payment not due till 14th december 2020

cruise agent knows about me wanting to go solo and has been trying to contact the workmate to get official letter of cancellation from the workmate with no response

date of departure 25th feb 2021

I have paid $300 if I cancel and rebook I loose $100 either way

GOLD COMMENT AWARD!!!

Not everyone likes the food served in restaurants because it isn't variety thats why they generally go to buffets

Horrible idea.

 

Buffets are quick and easy.

Getting rid of them would double your wait time for food.

If you dont want to get buffet food go to a restaurant onboard.

I am booked on a cruise with a workmate, unfortunately due to personal reasons caused by an external bullying issue I have chosen to go solo, and as a result the workmate is:

• refusing to communicate with me directly at all levels
• refusing to communicate with the travel agent as well

i'm wondering if there is some cancellation letter I can send the workmate to sign but via the travel agent?

The booking is in my name and this particular workmate is under my booking

What will happen if my workmate refuses to communicate with the travel agent?

I would hope it's just $24.95pp for whole cruise and not per day. I'd pay $100 for it on a cruise with tender ports.

Wonder how much it would cost for a 6 day cruise? Im debating on wether to get it or not for my next cruise

Nope 

They did when i first started with Royal. They had signs stating what time specific decks could embark at the terminal

Never have I ever seen a Royal ship embark passengers by deck level...???

Crown and anchor points should not be the determining factor in upgrading, for me it's not a factor at all.... There are so many other more important factors. 

firstly. I wasn’t just basing my decision on the crown and anchor points. My decision was purely to do with :

1. Cost

2. Deck location (as when embarking they usually go by deck positions)

3.Category type - like wether its an inside, outside, balcony or suite

4. crown and anchor points.

I currently have just made the platinum tier of crown and anchor by obtaining 32 points.
 

I need 55 points to upgrade to emerald which is not long away. 
 

I am currently booked to go on another vacation in 2021 with a friend from work for 6 nights.

Therefore I am merely only trying to make sure that I am booked in to the correct cabin etc in order to obtain those points. 

if i didn’t have so much of a closer gap in points between the tier levels then i wouldn’t have bothered about it.

Like say for example if i was emerald and the diamond level was 102 . I wouldn’t have bothered about it so much due to the amount of tier points that I would have needed to accumulate in order to reach that tier.

 

Suggestion:

in future it might be helpful to thoroughly read the topic of posts along with the replies of the users before making such a judgemental and opinionated comment/ reply.

then go guarantee inside often 🙂 or b2b

So i need to make sure that the booking that I’ve just finished paying my deposit on is a guaranteed cabin? Is this what you are trying to tell me?

YOU and friend upgrade to a junior Suite 😊

i will if i can it is a bit expensive for suites atm i am travelling with a friend and have got to make sure that the add on price to upgrade is reasonable along with being on the right deck etc etc is suitable too 😂 im a fussy minion 😂

Every category earns C&A points. Normally one point per night with suites earning 2 points per night. Solos travellers unless travelling in a solo cabin will earn 2 points a night unless in a suite then will get 3 points per night. 

what about balcony cabins? 
what about virtual staterooms?

what about promenade cabins? Do these cabins earn any extra or special points?

im thinking of upgrading if i can just so i can earn these points as ive just moved from gold to platinum and won’t be travelling solo next cruise as im with a friend.

Just interested to know what other cabin categories (like 6V, 4V for  example) (other than suites) would earn crown and anchor points and how many points.

On Explorer now and just noticed in the Compass the minimum age is 18 instead of the usual 16.

 

Sorry if this has been posted -- a search revealed nothing.

Went on ovation about a week or so ago and im pretty sure that the solarium door read 16+ so could be a misprint but then again I could be wrong 

Why don't you contact the cruise line?

I have tried to look on their website for the information??? Why would I bother ringing them directly when previously they have posted the information on the website?

My bank allows you to set up direct payments, months ahead of time even, so you do not have to think about it or remember to go online and do it. Maybe your bank can be of service?

This is what I want do but I need rci's bank account for the payments to go in ???? [emoji849][emoji849]

Hmm, interesting concept....but I don't think RCCL or any other cruise line would want to start getting involved with "direct depoist" transactions. You might mean automatic pay, like you can set your bills up with. But at this point I think you are pretty much at the cruise lines mercy to pay it either by phone or on line by your credit card.

Like I said they have done it before on other cruises . Even the travel agent that I just transferred from to rci did it. I would have their bank account details and set up a set amount that I wished to transfer from my internet banking site and email them the receipt of the successful transfer

Suggest you use a credit card...there are several consumer protections that accompany them that do not exist with wire transfers.

 

 

 

I am not sure that any cruise line accepts wire transfers, even from a travel agent.

I have actually done direct transfer payments previously with royal Caribbean. I want to do direct deposit so I have an automatic payment system whereby I won't have to jump online and manually pay for my cruise each fortnight. I am pretty much certain that I can't do this by credit card
