Your TA gives ice? My TA lives in canada where there is ice but never gave me any.

If you say yes prepare to be denied boarding.

2 complimentary drinks sure wouldnt help for me. I already get 5 and havent yet ever used up all 5. I'm to the pt of asking my steward what they would like me to pick up for them to try and use them up. Maybe it's a good thing $75 priced me out for this. I'd bet a lot of us are diamond and higher with free drink vouchers. I personally think some other food other than pizza would be a bigger draw. It would have to be really good pizza. Extra extra pepperoni for me.

You will have to get a blank tag at the terminal. Maybe you got a upgrade if nothing left in the category you booked, cross your fingers. Need the cabin number on the tag if you check luggage. I wouldnt bother printing it without the cabin number. They have blank tags to fill out.

FINALLY!! Hope you find a way to enjoy your cruise. Radiance is small but a pretty ship. I'm leaving in the morning so wishing you well today.

All gasoline not just diesel will be climbing. Oil touched over $91 a barrel during the night, but backed off this morning to $89. I went to the store and spent $60 for a few bags I could easily carry in one hand. I see folks over on carnival boards sounding the same as here. Folks doing rcl for the first time who were loyal to carnival, coming over here. Trying ncl and msc for the first time. The prices got everyone looking for cheaper deals. Uaw strike for the impossible. If they give them what they want the big 3 go bankrupt. They want profit sharing and free or discounted stock is a big sticking pt. Paid the same for 32 hours of work, not 40. Even wages mid 30% up on a 4 day workweek cant be done. Ford is losing 60k per ev car they sell right now. UAW says ceo has to take a pay cut and pretends that's going to pay for their demands. Wait until you want to buy a new car. Imo complaining is fun here and we all feel the bite, but unless demand drops prices are here to stay. Better still if someone sees a good deal post it.

Yes just go into your planner history and click on cancel. Dont call. They are very confused. I do almost get the idea this is meant as a party spot. The TA who posted it said they kept calling it a party. Us older adults seem to be the ones not happy with the idea of a party and a DJ. I dont want a DJ.

The difference is oasis class offers a free breakfast so idk but it might be listed different.

I saw the diet red bull at the cafe

If they tell you very much ahead and people dont like the assignments, they can more easily get someone to change their cabin if there are other unbooked cabins in the same category? Saves them this bother.

Also out of Galveston the pkg starts day 1 The pkg is good on private islands, carnivals is not. On the other side ...carnivals is good up to $20 so you can order premium brands, rcl good up to $14. Then again they both treat drinks over the minimum very different. Wine, royal has german wine, carnival does not. More choices. Carnival is full of complaints about wait time for drinks, not enough waiters unless you book a special area of cabins. People often wait for 20 minutes on carnival lined up just to order a drink. Lots of differences.

It varys higher and lower. Dynamic pricing not fixed at 59 plus tip, $70ish on carnival. If this is your only consideration then book carnival. I personally wish I'd booked more royal and less carnival as at 80 pts on royal at diamond you start getting free drinks which is enough for me. Royal has the best perks at higher loyalty levels. Carnival has a cheaper drink pkg. Ok. Black friday sales can be good, hard to predict.

Often these videos open prior to embarkation. I've done them from my hotel before boarding.

Lol they got pizza. High class new food offering.

Yea I am surprised no extra food offering except pizza. I can do the snack shack already for free. Giovanni it is if I want pizza. ..dont care if its jerk chicken pizza. Its chicken and pizza. I've had their jerk pork and found it dry onboard. Wish I'd looked earlier. Before the price jumped.

I'm sad. I wanted to book when I read 43.99. I guess I waited too long. .. until the email came. 74.99 harmony out of Galveston is too much for fancy pizza I agree. :(

And I saw Mike post .. lots of us say our mileage varies. Post after post. But with 5 pax I can see your issue .. sorry. Just curious have you actually even asked a TA for a group rate quote or just making assumptions these rates are not better.

Someone posted a price of 43.99. For 43.99 I'd try it out, so I went to book. I'm a no at this price.

I may have missed if someone replied, it opens jan 2024

So 2 nights there right? That's what I saw on a letter. Yes 1 full day above, rcl is showing nights in the port.

Idk I think I saw ourusualbeach beach post that. . Idk how he gets around it though to book me solo. But I've seen that posted.

I get it for some with a family it may not be cheaper. For me as a solo royal is cheaper. The one 14 day special journey cruise in my signature on carnival was during their half price birthday sale last year. The last published rate I saw was about $6500 for me as a solo. It's been sold out since last April, not even listed on their website. I could only pick one to apply the real 50% off to. I sure also wanted jubilee their new ship but couldnt justify the extra money above what I can book rcl for. My experience isnt yours. I'm cruising solo. You cant just say for everyone other lines are less. Just say for you as a family of 5 it's less. Adding in DP340 for me makes almost every comparison less on rcl. You cant generalize. Yet you try to generalize as if what you say applies to all. I'm suggesting add qualifiers..for a family yes carnival might be cheaper. Their 3/4 rates are often less . No help to me. I do get for some maybe some other ship is less, but not for me. I am comparing. I'd book ncl prima or ncl jubilee if I could justify the cost.

I'm paying half the published price on wonder. Group prices. Have you asked a TA for a group price. Maybe the issue is with last years double pts too many people reached diamond and higher and have more discounts and freebies like drinks. Comparing published rcl prices is a false comparison imo. No one I know is dumb enough to pay published prices. I pushed last year to solo discount which is 25% off. Without double pts I wouldnt be there. That 25% for me is huge. For me ncl costs more not less than rcl. My wallet is who decides. Rcl is cheaper for me 9 out of 10.

Yes a lot of rcl cruisers took the shortest cruises on the oldest ships back then to get a full week credit for doing 3 day cruises. I was in texas and wasnt easy as we had a 7 day ship. Yes its true.

As most know msc is currently usually the cheapest line. Even carnival rates are way up. With my loyalty discounts and group rates I can book rcl cheaper than carnival. So choosing the very cheapest line I personally dont care what msc charges. Dont want their food. Almost anything but msc. People used to say if you dont like the rates go book carnival. Carnival is up so now they say book msc.
