I am still in the fully refundable range for my summer cruise, but may have to cancel.   I have bev package, ultimate dining, and several excursions already paid.   Do I cancel all the extras first then the cruise, or just cancel the cruise and everything automatically gets refunded.   It is a fully-refundable fare with plenty of time for my deposit to be fully refunded.   Thank you.

I saw a recent YouTube video review of the Beach Club and the reviewer said she was able to make a reservation with a maitre d on board. It was a recent video, since we have the 3 night dining package on our upcoming Wonder cruise I will inquire about reserving a lunch time for the Beach Club restaurant when making our dining reservations for the week, if they don't take them on board we'll make it as soon as we arrive as it's my understanding that they do take reservations.  First time to Coco Cay for us.

do you have a link to this video?

The Royal website says you don't need reservations, yet others seem to say different?  Can't I just get my food and bring it back to my lounge chair to eat?

from royal's site:

Depends.   

If you follow the rules and believe others should as well:   "show up at your boarding time".

If you believe rules are just guidelines and are ok to break when you are spending $$$ then:  "show up whenever you want and enjoy the chaos".

Royal App just alerted me yesterday to be at my Assembly Station ... for a JUNE CRUISE!    Literally my phone beeped with an alert notification from the royal app:  and told me to check into my assembly station before 5pm!     The cruise is 4 months away!

We liked the catamaran, the boat crew did an excellent job, and overall, we had a good time.

...

How was the boat ride itself?   I like to snorkel, but my wife comes along for the sail portion and stays on the boat.   I've seen mixed reviews of Seahorse in Nassau and I am unsure if it will be fun for her.   Is the boat nice - or is it just a ferry boat?

I just purchased the last Chill Island Full Day Beach Bed which holds up to 4 people (it's now sold out). There are 6 adults so we'll trade off.  I'm disabled and I just needed a place where I could lay down if wanted and even nap.  It was pricey but I think it's well worth it.  Now I can relax and not worry about where I'm going to station myself once I'm there.  We've never been to Coco Cay before so I'm kind of going into this blind, but

I feel good about it.  

 

Chill Island Beach Bed - That bed holds 2 adults, and you get 2 loungers in addition to it.   Lots of trading off onto sweaty sheets for 6 people.

I used them a few months ago . They do work . At one point my two bags were far away from each other , but they both got to our cabin.

Now i put one in each of our cars .

Why do you put them in your cars?  Are you misplacing your cars?

go to the RC Blogs website and search cruise compasses there.  Attached is symphony.

My wife had the most explosive diarrhea after a Johnny Rockets breakfast on Harmony.   Never again!

OP was wrong. Typically, between Tuesday and Thursday.

Thanks.  It will be Symphony, just hoping it avoids Nassau and Port Canaveral

It's the week of 12/12, not on the 12th.

oh?   OP said specifically would be today.    

When this week is this mystery announcement?

As many of us eagerly await RCCL's announcement on Dec. 12th for deployment of Cape Liberty itineraries for summer 2024, here is what we do know! Carnival Cruise will have itineraries from NY aboard Carnival Venezia, and MSC will have itineraries aboard Meraviglia. These are 2 heavy hitters! RCCL must answer to that with 1 or 2 great ships to compete. The ships in the poll are ships that are not yet accounted for during summer 2024!

When is this announcement?   It is 1pm ET and no new itineraries yet.

I got my refund, but it required an email to corporate last week to get it started.

wish it would not stop in port canaveral or nassau.   Would love Charleston for US, and PR instead of Nassau.

Just emailed mbayley#rccl.com     

another twitter post going to Royal... hopefully this gets attention since calling on the phone is not working.

Still no refund.  They keep changing their story.  Hitting them up now in DM on Twitter

45minute hold time.  Now being told 7-14 business days.

<OPINION>  Royal's current credit rating is E2 - highest credit risk.   Wouldn't be surprised if this cash flow change in their favor is not an accident.

<OPINION>

I am getting pi$$ed.   Nov 18 refund still not there.  Definitely their system is screwed up from nov 18 refunds.

looks like its back now though!

Is QUEST back on OASIS?   I did not see it on recent postings for the Cruise Compass for this ship. Other ships have reported it.

I just ran into this myself. I have a cruise coming up end of March... the flights for the 3 going are more than the cost of the cruise! We're not talking out of the way airports either... Cleveland to Miami or Ft Lauderdale

 

Check Orlando as well.   Also Check Buffalo to FLL.  You can go direct too.

did they have Quest?

12 days... still no refund from excursion canceled on 11/18
