  1. Rcl says they dont charge you extra if port fees go up, they dont have a obligation to refund if prices drop or you miss a port per a email I got when I wrote and asked. Carnival always refunds port fees or some small amount if a port is missed. Rcl has no such policy. They wrote it's up to the ship to refund or not.
  2. I would be surprised if they allowed muster station changes with how full ships are sailing. Muster stations have a set number of seats in the muster boat as you know. Many times people post they cant add a 3rd to a cabin, muster station is full. Possible but never heard it allowed. Post when you get back if allowed. Put a different way, if they could just change change muster stations then they wouldnt run into cant add to your cabin because muster station is full .. they would just move the extra person to a different station.
  3. Odd holds 3 or 4. Even only holds 2?
  4. My TA has group refundable rates. Sometimes very little savings, sometimes more but refundable. He can see cabins I cant and finds a cabin that is open both legs. It's a pain to change cabins. Much nicer to keep the same cabin.
  5. Oh I thought it was free wine at the italian restaurant onboard first night. I'm really out of date.
  6. I'm on dream in jan. All I see I can book is the steak house. I'd take a few less expensive choices.
  7. Love the solo and balcony savings. Dont get that elsewhere. Cant book cheaper elsewhere and thats not counting the perks. Even carnival is a step up in costs. I didnt suddenly become loyal, the prices couldnt be beat so I booked more rcl lately. Even 2 days of free wifi is nice.
  8. I wrote for a status match twice and no answer. I've read typical that customer service at msc is lacking. Maybe some day, others I'd do first. I'd like to try HAL. I hear their food is good.
  9. It would be hard to me to put a value. Maybe 2 mixed drinks a week. Fresh OJ yes! Some soda. Maybe a coffee or two. 2 days of wifi also hard to value. Pinnacle seems unreachable. I do still miss the perks on other lines.
  10. What 15 per day limit... there isnt a daily limit on any drinks. Not even coffee lol. As much caffeine as you want. All I can think of you read something on a carnival board who has a daily limit on cheers drinks.
  11. The release says probably starts after icon starts jan 27. So she was right, it hasnt started. Right now you cant pre book. IT guys hopefully are going after this.
  12. I'm confused for when you are looking. I'm hoping to move to PC fall 2024. Cancelled my dec 2024 on harmony and recently booked adventure out of pc 8 and 6 day dec 2024. I hear adventure came out so cheap, wish I'd booked sooner. Hoping for better deals from florida to come. So much to do by then, I'm trying to not think (and worry). I think its molly I saw also doing xmas on adventure. Hard to remember them all. I WAS booked harmony dec 2024, but cancelled and moved it. Crossing my fingers it all comes together.
  13. Record revenue, no profit yet, still in the red. Took on all that debt. Maybe do a carnival brand like princess who is known for alaska?
  14. I'd book that deal in a heart beat, doesnt matter what ship. At that price, I'm a go. But I dont get carnival deals, royal is cheaper for me as a solo. I'd be a yes.
  15. Not out of Galveston. Ncl prices are much higher than rcl. I'd like to book prima but not at what ncl is charging. Ncl had earnings today and crashed big. Missed estimated, didnt deliver. At least rcl is hitting their numbers. Ncl was including grats in a bundle when you bought your cruise but took them out now.
  16. I havent prepaid and didnt get the email. 10 booked, 3 in a row very soon. But I did get a sale price during Halloween for crown and anchor member. I should have taken a picture. Arent we all C & A members? Made me feel special.
  17. And still get free 2 days of wifi, no matter how short the cruise is.
  18. Mike just got off the first short allure cruise. If he says there werent headliners .. I'd go by this. He just got off allure.
  19. I dont want to treat someone else. Its night 2 I'm worried about. Night 2 is usually when I book a big show. I'll believe it when I see it as I said that I can prebook bogo for both nights. I'm cruising with 2 friends, one single and one married. The single guy is d+ and can pay for his own. I want to book 2 nights. Also allure as I posted a few posts back would NOT take prebooked for bogo. I'm aware experiences vary. I board harmony nov 26 and we will see how they treat it. I'm not really worried about night 1, not that many want night 1, its night 2 that gets short of times. Allure first told me I had to sit OUTSIDE to eat early. Loyalty called down when I couldnt reach chops when they changed my time to 7:30 pm. After a rather bad bogo on allure, I think people saying dont worry .. didnt get treated how I was treated. Sept is very hot going out of texas. I dont want to eat outside because they changed my time without telling me. Havent used bogo much but allure was rather awful. Oh and the loyalty ambassador then said to me about eating outside .. take it or leave it they said. .. remember I boarded early and booked a early time, they changed the date and time. Not me and then had a poor attitude. No one has made me convinced bogo as a solo can be booked for 2 nights before I board. I'm a wait and see. Boarding harmony soon so will know.
  20. I prebooked izumi before boarding allure at a discounted price. Allure refused to use the discounted price. Said they would move it and then charge me full price. .. I'll believe it's a policy allowed and approved when I can do it.
  21. So you are assuming bogo can be pre booked? I didnt read that into what I read. Also idk if you read but in sept I was on allure and a fleetwide memo went out bogo can only be used night 1 and night 2. I'd already booked night 4 and some genius changed my booking to night 2 very late without so much as a note in my cabin. Rcl is trying to crack down on bogo being used other nights. Now it sounds to me as if dining pkgs will be able to be prebooked. I'm not sure bogo is a dining pkg you can prebook. Would be nice if you are right, but imo this is a way to let those paying higher prices get first access to times, then loyalty booking.
  22. News to me most pre pay tips. I've never prepaid in 20 years. How do you know most prepaid? If you say you are a big ta I might consider this as a fact, or just heresy. Who knows these facts?
  23. When cruises were released last year, harmony for dec 2024 was quite a bit higher than dec 2023. .. not just when dec 2023 came out but when the new ones were released. It does seem they are building in a increase. Same as last year. Making it less and less attractive to book ahead.
  24. Lol I know dinner starts 6 pm, kinda late. Not sure if breakfast is always the same. Yes of course there are free drinks ks. Coffee tea, iced tea lemonade. Flavored water. OJ and apple juice during breakfast. I drink the lemonade mostly unless they have mango water.
  25. I saw this earlier and was going to post it but got distracted. Yes. Says supposed to start maybe a few days after icon launch. Good news for those booking discount packages. I'm betting bogo for D+ now going to be harder to book times if everyone else can book before theh board. Hmm.
