How much would the tax have been?

I think it was around $8 but leaving from Galveston you can't get liquor delivered on day 1 anyway, so why pay the tax.

Okay, so I just placed my order for water and a bottle of jack. I payed no tax as I chose to have it delivered on day 2. There was a delivery fee but you would pay that anyway.

I think you can order from room service or the hospitality area. The same place you order a wine package on the ship.

I am not talking about purchasing from the shops where you get it cheap. The price would be what you can order online to be delivered to your room, around$95.

So, I was going to order a bottle of liquor and water to be delivered to my room on day 2 of my cruise because it will be sailing from Galveston. I see I will be charged tax. If I wait until I get on the ship, day 2 and order those items will I still be charged tax?

It has been awhile but I believe if you purchase a drink before you are in International waters you are charged tax but once you are in International waters you are not charged tax(leaving from Tx).

The last time I purchased it was in 2018. At that time they were only offering two price levels. I ordered it from the Cherry on top, candy store.

Will they still offer it? Who knows.

We are fully vaccinated. I chose #3. We are chomping at the bit to cruse but want everyone to be vaccinated.

Nothing offered for my Sept 4 cruise either.

Thanks all! For some reason I thought it used to be 170.

 

Maybe you are thinking of Royal? They have a diamond plus level at 175.

All three denominations are back.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I had three rooms together(one person will be a no show). In order to keep 4 balcony rooms together I needed to book a  4 person room so that is what I did. 

So, for 10 of us we can spread out now having a 4 person room, a 3 person room and two 2 people rooms. We will be 6 kids and 4 adults.

I have 2 people in a 2 person room right now. If I want to move them to a 4 person room and add an additional two people(making it 4 people in a 4 person room), will I be charged a fee for moving the first two people?

Hubby and I both rcvd the RU2 offer today. Can this be used on a cruise that is already booked? Also, does this cover the 18% gratuities or is that covered in the offer?

Also, are we able to use the credit from a canceled cruise and just transfer to the new cruise and get the OBC that comes with the canceled cruise?

I thought I would report back:

I was able to use the funds from my canceled Dec. 2020 cruise and apply to my new Dec 2021 booking and did rcv the $600 OBC.  

I was told I can also apply this promo to a previously booked cruise, but at the going rate and I would lose the $100 OBC that was included.

Yep! My Royal February cruise was just canceled.

The only reason we wanted to go back is because we were married there 25 years ago. We were supposed to get married in Nancy's Garden but things didn't work out. Later, we tried to find the garden but never did. We thought we would try to find it when we were supposed to be there in May, but guess not.

My guess would be HMC.

That would be my guess as well. We are not beach people so would not be thrilled.

Any guesses as to what a change in itinerary would be? We are booked on the May 1 Dream cruise that was supposed to go to Key West. We only chose this itinerary because we had not been to Key West in many many years. Freeport and Nassau are pretty crappy ports, but again we had not been there in years. We will likely just cancel.

Sorry to jump on your thread but I have a similar question. My Nov and Dec. cruises were paid in full using gift cards.  I plan on taking the $600 OBC option. I do not have a cruise picked out and will likely wait until next year. 

Do I go ahead and opt in for that option online or just wait until I have chosen a replacement cruise?

Will I get refunded(in gift cards) anything over my deposit or does the full amount just sit there attached to the booking?

Very odd.    I have a Nov cruise from Miami and a Dec from Pt Canaveral, and I got the cancellation email.    Just a little confused.  

I don't know. Were your cruises longer than 5 days? They said they would do shorter cruises at first.

Here is my deal. I have about $8 or $9,000 in gift cards so the money has already been spent.

It looks like out of Galveston only the 4 & 5 days show for Nov & Dec. The 7/8 day only show for Dec 19 and beyond.

My B2B  on 11/29 & 12/6 on Freedom are not showing up either.

In my case, I have gift cards so will make final payment with those. The money has already been spent.
