I never cruise this time of year but am looking for something in Jan. and Feb. Are the prices always so high in these months? I am used to pricing in Fall?

I am sure someone has already posted this but we were disappointed last week to find out that Crown was no longer included in the allowed drinks.

Sorry, but I have another question about he DP coupons. We usually get the 2 device internet package. I received an email from RC that said if I order early, I can get 30% off, but how would that work with the coupons?

Your choice: schedule it onboard, pay for one pre-cruise, or pay for both pre-cruise and get an onboard credit after dinner.

 

Thanks so much, Bob.

Pretty new to Diamond Plus. Can someone tell me on the speciality restaurant coupon. I guess I have to wait to get on board to schedule it, otherwise I will have to pay for both or can I just schedule it and pay for one before the cruise?

Hello, I just arrived in Fort Lauderdale and wanted to go watch the cruise ships pull out of port. The hotel could not tell me how to do that. Is there a place? We have a car, can someone tell me where to go, or an address?

Thanks, everyone. Guess I need to call BOA. I had a charge with RC for my cruise and didn't get the bonus points but 3 weeks later booked a specialty restaurant and got the bonus points.

Do points really expire, I have a note on my statement that says there may be points getting ready to expire.

D+ members have access to the DL on deck 11. The Diamond Concierge there may be able to help with reservations, but I would first go to Studio B as soon as you board to try getting reservations there.

Thanks, Bob. I appreciate the quick response.

1. On the Allure do Diamond Plus members go to the Diamond lounge?

2. I could not get reservations for the comedy show because I booked late, can the concierge help me get reservations once on board? If so, where do I find him?

3. Is there a concierge email?

Anyone have any updates on this? I only got one point per dollar on the cruise I just booked.

Question, do you no longer get double Visa points for Royal Caribbean spend?

Thanks, Everyone. Hubby and I have always wanted to take a Bridge tour, very excited.

Thanks, everyone!!

You don't schedule those. They will contact you with the date/time. As D we have had one entertainment tour. The rest of our trips haven't had them, so don't hold your breath that it will happen. It might, but it might not. Some things are hit or miss. Our Vision cruise in 3 weeks will be our first as D+ and we'll see what we actually have happen.

 

Ok, thanks. I never got a call about the entertainment back stage tour on any cruises I took as a Diamond. :(

Hello All,

 

I just became a Diamond Plus and am going on the Allure in a few weeks. I saw on the benefits section that I could get a tour of the galley and maybe the bridge. Can someone tell me how to schedule that?

Thanks, Everyone!!!

I haven't been on the Allure or Oasis in a few years and am booked in 29 days. Was getting ready to schedule entertainment and a specialty restaurant and had a couple of questions.

1. It says I cannot book the comedy show, I need to check on line. Is that because it is sold out or are they not booking that on-line these days.

2. Are formal nights on the 2nd and 5th night?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the there was a separate section in the main dining room on the Oasis class for Diamonds or not. Appreciate the help.

Hello,

 

I just made Diamond Plus and will be taking my first cruise with that status on the Allure in a few weeks. I remember on the Freedom class there was a separate section in the main dining room for Diamond members and we enjoyed it because the line was not as long for breakfast. Is there somewhere Diamond Plus members can go to get the normal dining room breakfast without the long lines?

I appreciate any help you can offer, didn't find that particular question in the previous post.

[quote name='kc320'][quote name='CruiseLover15']Thanks, Bob. No problem on carrying the extra key, just didn't want anyone to use it accidently and cause charges to the wrong account.[/quote

My sister's & I did this on the Brilliance & to make it easier we had guest services punch a hole in the "spare" card...attached the card to a wrist lanyard & we were good to go. Made it easy to pull out the right card for charges & for getting on & off the ship...[/QUOTE]

Good idea, thanks a bunch Karen.

[quote name='clarea']The extra card has no charging ability.[/QUOTE]

Ok, good deal then. Thanks, Bob. Have a great weekend.

[quote name='clarea']Nothing you can do about it now. Depends on Guest Services on board the ship. I've read that sometimes they can simply re-key your SeaPass card for the stateroom you want, but most of the time it seems they say they cannot (or won't) do that and just give you an extra key to the stateroom you want.

The extra key card is the same size as the SeaPass card. It does not seem like a huge deal to me to have to carry an extra card in order to save several hunded dollars. I'd carry 10 extra cards to save several hundred dollars.:)[/QUOTE]

Thanks, Bob. No problem on carrying the extra key, just didn't want anyone to use it accidently and cause charges to the wrong account.

Can someone help clarify this for me. My husband and I just made Diamond Plus and we booked a cruise with my son and his friend to celebrate my son getting out of the Marines. For the first time ever, we booked my husband in one cabin and me in the other to get the maximum discount. Someone mentioned getting extra keys but that would mean some of us would have to carry two keys. Is there another way to do it so that we don't have to carry two keys, one tied to our credit card and one to get into the correct cabin? Our cruise is only about 6 weeks out and we need to go ahead and do on-line check in. I appreciate any help and more detailed explanation.

The problem with this is it is hard to schedule the entertainment when it is laid out in the cruise planner. It is a lot easier to lay everything out when you have it all on one page.

Of course, I made Diamond Plus at the end of 2014 and booking on the Allure tomorrow. Have never been to the CL and who knows if I will ever get to. That is my luck.
