 Royal Caribbean does not but the Port of Seattle does.  

 

 We used this service after our Alaska cruise on Quantum in September of last year.   There are a couple of restrictions:

1.  Your flight must not depart until after a certain time (I believe it is 1200 but not 100% sure

2.  You pay for any baggage fee's charged by your airline

3.  The service is free if you are in a Grand Suite or higher. 

 

Thank you!  We will we on the Quantum and love using this service.

I have searched but can not find a answer.  Does Royal Caribbean offer the service where you pay a fee and you don’t see your luggage until you land at your home destination?  
 

Thanks

Open the app.

scroll down to the 3rd  "box" (Ocean NOW) and click Dine My Way

click the 2nd choice (daily reservations)

click the light blue box of the day you want to book

click add reservation

click specialty dining

select your travel party, if appropriate, then continue

a default time will show. If it doesn't show the time at the restaurant you want, try a different time

click select this table

if it recognizes your complimentary dinner, it will show a credit under the cover charge and the total will be zero.

Click confirm, and you are all set.  Then you can view your reservation.

I hope this works.

It worked and showed $0 thank you so much for the help!

Unfortunately, it seems that you can only book excursions with OBC prior to boarding.  We had a specialty dinner included with our booking, and I was able to apply that on the medallion app ahead of time.

We also have a specialty dinner included, where in the app were you able to book it and apply the complimentary dinner?

Thanks

Stay calm, this is a minor glitch. Since the important content is still there you are OK!

Never said it wasn’t a minor glitch, last I had checked this is a place to try and find answers

Ugh!  I even logged out of the app and then came back in and it still does not recognize my name.  One step forward, two backwards.

That’s exactly how I feel I can’t find anywhere to correct it with my name!

The app on my phone shows checkin times of early-mid-late but won’t let me select one?  And initially when I open the app it says 

Good Evening

Title & Last Name?  What the heck is that all about? My name is in the app?

Thanks for any insight 

When are they supposed to do the repairs?

How far out is the cruise? At final payment date, even the refundable option becomes non-refundable, so if final payment is within a month or two, just book non-refundable. If it's further than that, book refundable and keep an eye out for price drops. I've noticed  that the price to get "refundable" often changes when the prices change (on my cruise it's gone from $108-$130).
 

If you book non refundable and then decide to cancel, you lose $100 per person, but get the rest back in a future cruise credit (FCC), which has an expiration date.

 

I personally prefer refundable always. 

The cruise is May 15 2023, I always get a refundable deposit with other cruise lines.  I discovered this non refundable deposit by accident for RCCL.  
 

Which is the “best” sale usually with RCCL?   
 

Thank you for your guidance for some reason I am all over the place with this cruise not knowing a good time to book etc…

Yes you can switch at any time from refundable to non refundable you just cant switch back.  Also not that closer to final the NRD price may be more than what you paid.

 

If you cancel you lose the full deposit.  If you move to another sailing then there is a $100pp penalty

Thank you!  I’m torn on what to do!

If I book a cruise Under a refundable deposit which will add $400 to my cruise price can I switch to non refundable before final payment for a lower cruise price?   
 

I am also getting conflicting information when I call RCCL if I cancel with the non refundable deposit am I just out the $500 or can it be transferred to FCC and moved to another date?  Will I lose $100 per person?   I’m confused with what I’m being told.

Thanks

You can cancel up to 48 hours prior for 100% FCC ?????

That’s what I was told BUT I can’t be sure if the person knew what they were talking about!  Every time you call you could get a different answer.  Thankfully ours was canceled on last Tuesday.  So I am getting a refund instead of FCC.  Maybe call and ask for a supervisor?

We are thinking of using the POM to cancel our cruise leaving on Jan 19th. Does anyone know how if NCL requires you to cancel a certain number of days prior to sailing?  Kind of waiting to see if NCL cancels the cruise.

 

Thanks

I was told to cancel our cruise sailing on the 19th no later than Monday the 17th.  

It’s in a great area, with great strip mall very close!  We have stayed there many times.

It looked great from the outside.  We were at Embassy Suites and could see it from our room..

Definitely now sailing away from Grand Bahama and Freeport 

What do you think is happening with this change?

Good to know. Thank you.

 

Our cruise on NA is scheduled for January 4 so we are watching all this closely. Did running on just one effect the itinerary, changes to ports and times in ports? Just curious. 

 

To be honest, the good captain could probably just cruise the ship around in circles or park her at HMC for a few days and we would be thrilled. We just need a vacation! But we will roll with the flow. Machines break. HAL seems to be doing well by its customers so best to stay positive and make lemonade out of lemons.

We are also booked on this cruise!  Fingers crossed we are able to go!

If cruises in the next couple of weeks have to be altered or cancelled what would be a typical scenario?   Trying to plan ahead and come up with a plan B.   

Definitely to early we cruise out of Fort Lauderdale every January just keep checking!

They already show up for dining & internet on my January 19, 2019 Symphony cruise. In fact, I already have my MTD reservations. No drink packages yet but we don't normally buy them anyway

Thanks I will go back on and look! We were interested in purchasing bottled water and maybe a soda package. Thanks for the heads up on the MTD reservations, I will do that now.

Kris

Unfortunately, there is no set or typical time. All you can to is check your Cruise Planner periodically.

Thanks!

When should I be able to view on the booking what the prices for different beverage packages, internet and specialty restaurants will be? I know the cruise is a long way off but I love looking and planning! Thanks in Advance!

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Hope you had a great cruise! :cool:

We stayed at Comfort Inn and it is terrible! Go with somewhere else! The shuttles were great but the hotel not so much :rolleyes:
