  1. I think more likely to remove the choose your cabin and at the end only gtys left to book.
  2. Jamaica is the only port that I know of with a safety warning. Why not drive to Galveston and in 2024 there are 6 on harmony that go to coco cay you can book for next year. 8 days to see coco cay but the prices out of texas are better. Oasis and harmony close, though harmony is newer. Same class. I love oasis class, you cant go wrong with either. Oasis has cats not many people's favorite
  3. It probably depends when you cruise. Central park is open to the top too though. I had a central park last march and it was fine though I dont like when it's in the sun. Oasis. I did one of both last dec on allure. I had the last boardwalk and it was pretty noisy. I am not a football or soccer fan so didnt like them blasting games so loud I had no interest in. And I thought boardwalk was a really long walk to the back where I selected. Central park is more convenient. I dont cruise during summer so never noticed if they were hotter.
  4. The group space for insides usually is only 4v. I wanted a aft corner balcony on another cruise I was looking at last week. My TA said it was a 4D. Only had 2D group space, like on the hump. Group space is pretty limited. I did a couple promenades since restart, not sure how many. I did a b2b aft corner and a pr. I had to change to nonrefundable rates as i think i was told. I wanted refundable until i get moved and would have chosen other cabins and drove my TA nuts I'm sure wanting cabins not group space. With oasis class usually inside park views or ov view, not boardwalk. He doesnt have boardwalk group space when I've asked. Depends on your TA. Just saying I've asked. I'll let a TA explain. .. I'd choose other cabins tbh. I prefer aft view for instance.
  5. I think someone posted there are lots of promenades left. I was just counting the insides, not the promenades. ..I know it's just clicking on a different inside but when the op said 7 insides left I assumed he didnt mean the PR cabins. And some will royal up etc.
  6. I personally love the promenade cabins its depends on how much they cost and 95% of the time I'd bet they cost more. Sometimes you will find a anomaly and they dont cost more but it's not normal. My rule was I'd pay up to $100 more for a promenade but lately booking group rates and cant get these at group rates.
  7. Ok if you dont care if the 2 cabins are spread out .. go for it. But ships have been selling out lately. Dont wait too long.
  8. Gty means when you do a mock booking click on let them choose your cabin. ..since you are travelling with another cabin, if you want the cabins close together this doesnt work. They could give you cabins on opposite ends and far spread decks. Dec 3 and 9 for instance, for and aft.
  9. I can go to the rcl site and pretend to book and I was about to say I see 4 at the lowest price and 4 more for and aft that cost a extra $638. Easy to count there are so few. Just click on the decks and count. 2 aft of the more expensive 4 mid ship etc.
  10. If you are seeing 2 on this deck, 1 mid ship, 3 on another deck. If it's less than 5 it's usually accurate. Do a mock booking.
  11. Usually you can upgrade but not downgrade on carnival. Your experience may vary. Depends what kind of cabin change you want.
  12. So seems you already have your answer. It will not br allowed. Not sure why you are asking us. If special needs said no, the answer is no. Either cancel or use the hottest water you can get in the buffet for your dental issue.
  13. Without knowing which ship you booked or which port you are sailing from idk some answers. Oasis class yes book ahead. ..for instance. My experience with Mtd wasnt good. I hate waiting in line. I switched to early dining on royal.
  14. I'm wondering why the easier ones like frozen Niagara arent offered june july and august. I'm not sure I'm up to almost all of these. I'm better walking down than up, and I've lost some balance with my broken arm. I'm walking a bit more carefully. I'll keep thinking .. hard to decide.
  15. Some got a letter and the email 3 weeks. May 27 is sooner .. very soon. You may not know before your cruise. If I was flying in or had to pay for a hotel before the email said I'd know I'd have passed. If there is a date to know by it's in your email. Each situation is different. Your cruise is sooner. No one here will know when.
  16. If you buy 1 device, and get onto 2 devices, it just knocks you off. Or you buy 2 devices. If you logged into 3 devices at the same time, it would knock you off when you logged onto the 3rd. Just log off 1 device if you want to share more devices.
  17. Yes as I said it's not offered right now, its offered fall of 2023. I'll be there in june. No way I'm doing 400 or even 600 stairs. I did onyx cave last time which only says 40 stairs. It's not part of mammoth cave but is inside the national park. Onyx cave was added later like 1920. I'd love to see mammoth cave but 130 stairs or more sounds like too much for me. The accessible tour still covers 1/2 mile. I'd love to see more. But the ones that sound possible arent offered right now. I dragged my sister on a cane through Carlsbad but it doesnt have tours like mammoth caves. And when it says stairs, these are stone steps that may or may not be wet and covered in sand or dirt. I'm sure my parents took me too but I dont remember it very well. Wish I was younger and in better shape. I'll be right there.
  18. I'm staying right there at mammoth caves both directions. I did onyx cave last time, so want a different one. Frozen Niagara is the only one less than 130 stairs and it's not open until fall. Not open now. Gotta pick a different one. 130 stairs sounds like a lot to me.. it's the stairs not the walking I'm unsure of. I booked a hotel already at horse cave city.. I can do a extra day there driving home .. hmmm. nothing marked easy. Well maybe the accessible but dont want that one. Just pick one?
  19. Darn looks like I missed a gokd episode of survivor. I used to never miss it but got out of the habit. Lovely wedding and lots of birthdays..congrats to everyone. I have said I inherited a LOT of not quite done quilts, no backing. Quilt tops. My cinn cousin used to send mom material all the time so I am planning a trip to cinn and maybe another to new mexico to distribute to the other side of the family to those who will love them like i do. I am driving 3 days up, Memphis then by mammoth caves, horse cave city. Then cinn. Leaving june 7th. Arriving june 9th, my cousins birthday. I have 3 more cousins close who she will invite over Saturday for a family dinner of us cousins. I have a SUV but dont know how many I can fit in my car. I'll unload them and my car will be empty coming home. Last time i picked out a mammoth cave hike. Not sure what I'm up to this time, not in as good of shape. Some have over 50 and over 100 stairs to climb. See if I can find something easy at mammoth cave. My cousin downsized a few years ago. They had 18 acres with a lake and moved to 1.5 acres and a great buy on a house that backs up to average. And there is a nature preserve close by you join yearly and they can walk over almost daily and bird watch and walk without the upkeep. I havent seen their new house yet. It was such a great deal her husband put off cancer surgery and they grabbed the new place and got closed. Then he had his surgery. I havent seen them since.
  20. Congratulations. It makes a big difference, enough I'd book less without it now. I pushed to get it last sept. Cant be added to any cruise past final payment. The DP340 code couldnt be added even to my end of jan cruise I had, because all the group space had been recalled. Finally just got to use it 2 months ago in march. Glad I have it. Thanks rcl.
  21. He just said originally it was booked with 2 names .. then changed to DP340.
  22. That's what I guessed. 2 cant be booked and get the extra point. They are getting tough on this. Even if they were removed before final payment is no guarantee you will get the extra point. Dont book 2 from the beginning if you want the extra point. I've read of others who had this issue ..
  23. That is a pretty nice offer. Yes they mean 100% refund, but the fcc of 50% would only be on the cruisefare portion not the added taxes and fees and whatever extras you booked. I'd take the OV. That's still a nice cabin in my book. Idk whomever said only book a balcony, depends on your budget. A OV you will be able to see out, just wouldn't have fresh air. Go up and sit by the pool, not a biggie for me. Having a window facing the outside in still nice to see what the weather is before you dress to me.
  24. Well you get 4 free drinks per day anywhere anytime. Also 24 hours of free wifi. I think a discount on logo items in onboard shops. The $6 free play in casino might kick in here. Free photo. I was the one above who said the balcony diamond discount on group rates is nice. I pushed for points last year on grandeur. I spent about $1600 but for more days than you are talking about. I wanted the solo discount to kick in. I doubt it was worth what I paid to get it 3 months before I'd have earned it anyway .. but imo without it imwoukdnt have booked a lot of the cruises I'm booking. I shouldnt have but I chased pts. I didnt care about any other perk, just the solo discount.
  25. I book group rates and the balcony discount helps quite a bit. Isnt always applicable booking direct. 1 pt regular, 1 for solo, 1 for JS and above. Maybe also as suggested above compare suite prices for 5 days .. not sure many bargains out there. Book your daughter inside? Lol. I'm for saving $$$.
