There was a thread where a suite had $750 obc until you put in your number. Ourusualbeach said well you know what to do now, dont put in your C & A number. Idk these recent sales are confusing. That was for a suite not a regular cabin obc

How about people who booked legs of the world cruise. End of feb the cruisers onboard voted which route so it wasnt known until close to when the ship would be close to where people might be able to board their legs, ... or miss them. One guy booked 4 nights nonrefundable hotel in dubai and he was cancelled and only offered a refund or book another cruise, with $100 obc. If you got cancelled they arent covering hotels or airfare to far flung places. I'm one who books ahead. Ship cant go thru the red sea because it's too dangerous so it's going around africa. Hotel in dubai isnt cheap either. Royal has gotten chintz with what it will do to make pax happy. Most of us here can name a lot like this.

I need @Ourusualbeachto explain which obc isnt combinable. I book group rates and the D+ obc is then combinable but of course not the same obc as this wow sale. Usually if you book direct the discount or amount off is larger than the D+ discount so it's not combinable. Hence why group rates are better for me. Booking onboard that obc isnt combinable with 1 of the obc I get booking direct group rates, so booking onboard isnt worth much to me. $25 obc on a balcony. Its certainly not all its cracked up to be. They got you coming and going.

Yea I just sorted out the 2 out of 3 eye drops I start today. 4 weeks. Wow. It sure will be cutting it close to get both eyes done before i drive across the country. No eye rubbing or heavy lifting or bending. Idk i wonder if driving counts as bending? Lifting? I'm sorting and picking up boxes and moving. I do think my night vision is compromised so I wanted to get it done before I moved. Sounds like I shouldnt be moving boxes and sorting. Starting Monday.

I think what happened was about insirance. I think they had no choice but to cancel. Also royal pax complain a LOT. Carnival people take things more in stride. Many were calling up and demanding refunds. I'm still in texas and cruises from texas dont go to labadee. Dec will be my first booked cruise where I booked out of florida so I'm not affected, at least yet. But I've been reading and there were some pax up in arms demanding rcl not go there.

In summary in case people didnt read the first 2 threads. OP booked online and thought he put in 4 pax and completed it and the booking was only for 2 so he booked a 2nd cabin and airfare and wrote to royal claiming they are at fault for bait and switch and they should honor the original price for 4. Hes threatened to sue, go to the media and taking his story public as he is doing here. They offered a full refund which wasnt enough for the OP because he also purchased airfare nonrefundable. He wants them to honor the price he saw. OP hasnt shown screen shots showing the price he said he saw for 4 people so I dont know how he has a case. Even above he says going by msc price it wasnt out of line the price he saw for 2 which he says should have been for 4. Without screen shots we dont know. Clearly OP is a unhappy customer. I dont have a answer. Doing the booking process online yourself I can see how things might not have come up to verify before putting in his credit card, idk. Glad I have a TA.

They started rerouting people yesterday. Some got a sea day. DR, coco cay or Nassau. Only sending emails 3 days in advance which isnt giving people time to book a new excursion. No point in complaining, cant change things. I'm scheduled there over xmas. Too soon to know.

1. The diamond club is now called the crown lounge. It opens with your card. There is food in the morning and during happy hour and a concierge who has hours. It doesnt close at a certain time but they remove the food. You get 4 free drinks a day. These can be used anywhere any time. If you want a drink during happy hour you have to use a voucher. Drinks are not included during happy hour like celebrity. I've never seen music in the crown lounge. So no end time. Schooners seems like the late night hang out. Idk. I dont drink much. Toiletries are a bar of soap and all in one dispenser unless you are at 340 pts or higher.

I thought suite lounge still had free drinks during happy hour. You mean if I was a pinnacle and brought in my cabin mate they arent allowed the free lounge suite drinks?

George sounds like a awesome cruise. Following. Packed up some books from a cabinet. Not moving those books. I'll get more if I run out. Trying to sort before movers come. I hate moving, trying to keep my eye on the prize. I need to get busy and get it done. Time ticking by. Tomorrow I start taking eye drops. Says 3 days before surgery. 1/2 day tomorrow? Sat and sunday plus half a day Monday. Cataract surgery isnt until 3 pm Monday.

Maybe I'm blind but I dont see which ship. Makes a difference on perks.

I do know a really good TA. It's against the rules to post his name here. Ask me if we sail together! Or ask someone elsewhere or on your next cruise.

The inside part of a balcony on carnival on ships other than the really old ships is the exact same as a inside cabin. A OV cabin on the ships I've done is the same as the balcony plus the inside part of a balcony cabin. 220 sf on conquest class. The OV is the most spacious counting the part inside.

This is a good time to cruise solo. If double occupancy, the credit only applies to your cruise fare, not the entire cruise fare. As described above. This is one time I was happy I was solo. Used mine for alaska.

Idk of any pay activities really. You can sign up for lessons on the surf zone. But surfing is free. Rock climbing and ice skating is free. Unless there is a escape room which is only for adults so your grandkids cant sign up. It's free.

In your planner it will list each restaurant once dining opens up. The number crossed off next to the discounted rate is the full price.

Dallas is in the direct path. Specifically mentioned I think was Arlington, a city near dfw, but still close enough I assume we can see it. Schools will be closed and eye glasses handed out someone is subsidizing.

As above if you can find a TA with group prices they are also refundable. And 99% of the time lower than booking nonrefundable direct prices.

No some are regular sofas. You need to put 3 in mock booking and it will show which cabins have the sofa bed. Cabins that hold 3 are a different category from those that hold 2. Often more expensive. .

If people expected a big sale or a upcoming reason prices would drop, they wouldnt be booking now, they would wait. No one knows. I hope prices quit rising.

You know I pinched a nerve and went to emergency to take x rays. At least the doctor thought it was a pinched nerve .. just before I had to board that 14 day carnival cruise. I bought out the grocery store of pain patches ... started developing red spots. Realized changing the pain patches felt like setting my skin on fire. .. I got 4 of 6 boxes of pain patches still sealed. I didnt even know I was sensitive to them. Sure seemed like it. Had to quit using them. The adhesive in them must be wicked strong. A nurse happened to sit next to me in the buffet and saw my arm and said I was reacting allergic to the adhesive.

I was thinking that you probably had rented a cabana. Saved a bunch lol. Yea royal been locking up all them jet skis so no one can steal one and escape either. Sorry. Some been clamouring to cancel so they did.

I think they had no choice but to cancel. I've seen a lot of people calling to cancel cruises going there. They wanted a refund and werent going to get it. Now royal can say the ship isnt stopping there, shuts down the refund talk ... mostly.

I dont even think it's that. I dont eat italian food so havent booked msc no matter what it cost, though I was tempted on a thru the canal crossing super cheap. After covid you could book $500 or $600. I saw a week miracle for $300 ish, not a casino comp, basically just fees and taxes. Now I can barely find anything for 1k more $1500 and $1600. I havent yet cracked the 2k price but more and more getting close. There is a nice carnival journey cruise I'd do but I woukdnt pay over $2500 and it's about $3500 for the bare minimum I'd want. And its venizua the italian ship. Blerk says if you see something you like just book it. Money doesnt grow on trees. If I booked every cruise I see I like I'd be spending so much more. I'll watch for a sale. I already got people saying I cruise too much. Imo I could cruise even more! Some pick expensive cruises and cruise fewer times a year, I try to pick cheaper cruise and cruise more often.

Seems like you just cant catch a break. Hope he doesnt need a operation. I've promised myself to walk and exercise more once I'm moved in and work on myself. Get in better shape so I can live a better life. Dont want to be unders a doctors care like you are dealing with.
