  1. This is port and ship dependent. I'm renting from Special Needs at Sea for a 9 day cruise on Liberty from Cape Liberty and the cost is $267. I rented from them back in March for a 8 day on Explorer from Miami for $270
  2. The birth certificate and any bridging documents are required to have a raised seal from the state/locality that issued the documents.
  3. Get him to the Doctor to find out what it really is and then act accordingly !!
  4. 1- you do a mock booking to get pricing. Note: the cabin type has to be the same as your booking. 2- call RCI's reservation line. 3- whether or not it is paid in full has no bearing on the pricing, but it must be done before the final payment due date ! Note: This is only for cruises booked under North American rules. Other parts of the world may vary.
  5. Carnival Legend leaves from Baltimore today on a 7 day Bahams itinerary
  6. When they draw down your onboard account vs OBC they always use OBN (Non-refundable OBC) first and OBR (refundable) only after the OBN has been totally used. The credit card points are always OBR and most, if not all, from your TA should be as well. I suggest that you check with your TA to make sure that the OBC they are giving you is all refundable (if part of it was for booking in a group it will not be).
  7. Do a google search for "sleep park cruise miami" and you should get a few hits.
  8. Have the TA find out how and when to do it as it affects the rate that they got from RCI
  9. They all have the same menu. Just different decor. (originally they were designed for the short-lived "dynamic dining" where there were differences in the cuisine in each dining room)
  10. We regularly sail with a group of 10-12 people and have found it to be a lot better if they split us into two tables. With that many people you cannot have any conversations you are out of earshot of many people. Two smaller tables work a lot better. We just rotate who sits at each one every night.
  11. Unfortunately, they do not use the same screens that you see at home. They use one that is similar to the one that I use as TA, but it is still different and has a lot of company confidential and marketing info on it. I figure that senior management has a dilemma on their hands and will resolve it tomorrow (1- do I cancel everyone and get the bad press or 2- do I honor it, or some semblance of it, for those who purchased it).
  12. This isnt an IT issue. They put it on sale on the 10th, sold it all day the 10th, and the 11th. then sometime this morning they shut it down. I have seen reports of people who said that they spoke to RCI reps this morning and they were talking about the features of the package. It is a sales issue and I'm sure that all of the Senior Management team will be all over this in the morning. In my mind it's between a financial problem or a PR nightmare.... IMHO I think they will allow us to keep it, or some semblance of it.
  13. It actually was on sale starting on the 10th.
  14. You can try writing to web_reservations@rccl.com, but do it within, I'd say, a month of your sailing.
  15. Entertainment on ships is a big unknown. RCI will usually contract with an entertainer and not assign a ship until, maybe, a month prior to sailing. There used to be an email address that you could contact 2 weeks prior to your sailing for a list of entertainers on you sailing (but, even that was not accurate). I will see if I can find it and, if so, repost it here.
  16. Welcome to Cruise Critic and you soon to be newest addiction !! I'm guessing that you are talking about the cruise on 01Mar2025 as there are only 7 JSs available. My guess is that there is a large group on there that has reserved many cabins as rewards for their employees. The remainder of the month is wide open. There are 6 category J3 cabins and 1 category J4 available. (I can get these stats as I have access to the Travel Agent site)
  17. I was able to make the reservations using the website after getting frustrated with the App allowing them just to be cancelled !!
  18. This is only available for North America bookings and only until the final payment DATE !!
  19. You may want to reach out to a reputable Travel Agent as well. Many of them have "group space" that comes with cheaper pricing. They also should be giving you some additional perks, mainly on board credit (OBC).
  20. The issue is not "are they allowed to sail at 18", but more of "what happens if there is a need for some medical care, transportation", etc. Without a notarized letter from the parents granting you the right to seek medical care or return transportation for the child there may be issues. Remember, you are leaving the US, so US rules do not apply, it is the rules of the local country that take precedent. (oh, and make sure that you have copies of their insurance information.
  21. Call the number above, reservations, or any travel agent. They can look up your number based on name and DOB.
  22. The 1 device plan is for one device at a time. you can log a device off of the internet and log a different one in at any time.
  23. It's all explained here, including charges: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/onboard-phone-call-services
  24. Hi, Just a quick question to make sure that I am understanding it correctly: Do Junior suite occupants have express boarding at Miami for Explorer of the Seas? Do they need to make early reservations to board early or are they, like other suite occupants, allowed to board at any time, regardless of what time they are assigned. Thanks Steve
  25. To put it simply, 1 cabin = 1 bathroom, 2 cabins (or some suites) give you 2 bathrooms...
