All this war talk and I read 2 italian ports were cancelled due to severe weather. .. weather, not the war.

I saw some blog comments. One guy posted doesnt hurt to get a balcony. He was looking for young girls. It's the older women mostly wearing them gold pins. You will sweep them off their feet. No doubt.

Does it have a hibachi. I saw some young birthday girls having fun there. It's a food show.

I've only seen it higher, not lower once you board.

Good to hear. I've had good luck with that email is why I posted it here. They do answer fairly fast.

Idk about a gold area, but there will be a couple of rows saved near the front down to the right is where I've seen them. At 15 minutes before they remove the reserved signs.

As at least 3 posters said ... the OP is past final payment and the $100 pp change fee is only before final payment. Sometimes it helps to read other posts before posting so you wouldn't post incorrect information. Now you know the rule for next time. I suggested to the OP to write mbayley the VP. His office is good about answering. I dont know what else to suggest, and posted I ran into issues myself last January and lost my cruise money. My mom died. I'm the only trustee, I had to miss my cruise. Everyone has a good reason who wants to cancel after final payment, not just a whim.

Yes its too late, he is past final payment. I saw that post then couldnt find it later, but agree, too late. Cant move dates this late.

Almost always a door between you and the elevator. I would take a cabin ear a elevator.

Try emailing.. at least a 2nd opinion. Cant hurt. Probably wouldnt help bit ake you feel like you tried. Mbayley@rccl.com

And you dont remember how much obc? Lol I'm with the suggestion to go look but I know exactly what each obc is and if it was added to. ..and I currently have 10, 1 more than you booked. Plus carnival. Ask whomever you booked with for another receipt is my 2nd choice if you cant remember.

While I understand your situation remember others also have last minute issues that crop up. I broke my wriste and my mother died. We had the funeral friday and I was supposed to be on a ship the next Monday. I knew their cancellation policy and still didnt go. Sometimes you do the best you can, you dont assume some company should bend rules for you. I'm sure there are other threads you can read on cancellation and all of us had good reasons to cancel. Rules are rules. Who can decide who should have exceptions? They have to apply to all.

Ah but you are so wrong. They have filled donuts, and not found in other venues. Not my favorite kind with powdered sugar, but I go there for the cream filled donuts. Maybe the suite lounge also has them but hacent seen them elsewhere.

I've had the tempura shrimp and vegetables. I think 1 shrimp, 1 huge onion ring, etc. 1 of each veggie but worth trying. I did the won ton soup also, and also had the 5 pork dumplings or whatever they call them. 5 was very filling for me. I did the poke bowl which I loved. Not usually a fan of stuff in bowls, but this was so good. I was so so on their sushi. Tried quite a few kinds. Nothing quite right, too spicy or too bland. I'm trying sasimi next time. I did a double bowl of poke last time so that was enough raw that time. 1 more month and I'll be trying it again.

Sorry no one seems to be posting that has done this. I cruise solo. Maybe @Ourusualbeachmight know but since it's a bank thing who knows.

I just went to look and nothing even si liar and I'm D+. And prices are awful. At most 5% off very high prices. Nothing even close to anything like a sale. Only can see excursions for one cruise tl coco cay though. No sale for me.

I brought on one for a electric clock. They held it during the cruise. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Leave it home. Not worth it.

There is a special line and place key holder will sit. That being said often embarkation is so fast better be early lol. I'm D+ and had a 11 am time and I was onboard sept 17 by 10:15 am. You never can tell how fast we will board. Sometimes there is no line, just walk up and board.

You hit 175 pts for D+, next recognized level is pinnacle 700 pts. It takes so long I call it no mans land. Forever wandering and waiting for pinnacle. That said diamond + has 2 stepping stones within that level with extra perks. More amenity picks, the 340 for upgraded toiletries and solo discount. 525 next step but still called D+.

I had to pay the whole $500 deposit as a solo to get refundable for 7 days.

5 day menus would be the same fleetwide. I enjoyed the large lounge up where the diamond and suite lounges are. Big comfy chairs. Looking forward and out. I sit up there to read during the day.

I think that's what he posted last thread. It is a total $$, yes $100 per person, x 2 he said. For nonrefundable.

If you give them your TAs info it goes to them right away. The obc and deposit is different if you are booking refundable or nonrefundable deposits. I'm booking refundable so less obc and full deposit but I want refundable transferring to my TA group rate. I read all suites are nonrefundable now anyway. I saw someone post the obc amounts last thread on this, but generally $100 obc for 7 days nonrefundable and $75 obc for nonrefundable 7 day. Examples

I'm one who loves aft facing. But the category isnt a group category I can book nonrefundable or I'd be booking them. .. lucky to me he got a aft.

The sky suite has suite perks. So you get in the suite lounge, which is why they are talking above about overcrowding, great way to solve it. Add more JS with full suite perks.
