I am not familiar with RC, but I thought the biggest difference was refundable and non-refundable credit, and the credit from your TA was refundable. Maybe swing over to the RC board and ask.

If you are comfortable doing it and find a deal that makes sense to you, book on board and then find additional benefits from a TA later. That is our plan next week on the Reflection. If we don't find anything to pull the trigger on, so be it. In a way it is like booking excursions. Some like to stick with the comfort of booking with the cruise line and others like to book on their own. It's all good.

Thank you Weenah, much appreciated. I have never been to this section of the website. 🤣 I see that it is showing all but our paid gratuities, I'm sure it will be fine.

Curious when you mention order history or the screenshot from Weenah, where is this?

We are hoping to do exactly what has been described on our Reflection cruise in a week. I need to remember to tell X not to automatically transfer the booking to my current TA, since I want to shop around.

Glad your luggage showed up and sorry about the closed store. Reminds me of a month ago when my wife and I purposely went out of our way to go to a restaurant that has Carolina wings that she loves, only to find out they no longer serve them. Like you, we just made the best of it.

Thank you for the trip report, I know it is hard work. We will be passing you on the 10th as we embark. Only the best wishes for your trip.

Thank you for the detailed answer! Only thing missing is medications, if you guys need prescription meds.

Wow, what a great year of cruising for you two! How do you handle the logistics of the mundane things that need to be taken care of back home, bills, mail..? Even possible medicine needs.

I'm also in the wait let them work out the kinks crowd.

Hi Awhfy, thank you for the kind words. I'm afraid you have me mixed up with another poster. I don't believe I have ever done a live review and rarely post any pictures. Either way, I hope you have a wonderful Mardi Gras cruise.

We will certainly look at their offers when we board Reflection next month, but I agree prices are high and causing us to ponder other options. We are limited since we cruise in January to get some warmth and prices tend to run higher then.

Agree that would be awesome, we sail in two weeks and hope it is true.

Also on the Jan/10th Reflection cruise and look forward to watching the Packers.

*sidebar* Years ago after a family trip to Disney World we received in the mail a check for a double charge at one of the bars, $7-$8 I think. We didn't notice it at the time, but it sure made them look good and I have shared it with many.
