Did they give you an invoice. If so, check you CC for the deposit and then don't worry about the e-mail. Also, does the OBC $ amount appear on the invoice because sometimes they tell me that it's applied by Miami and will be reflected on the attachment to the e-mail.

When I go to my account there's a big banner Black Friday preview and the usual 30% and kids sail free and up to $700 off. Did mocks bookings of some sails in 2025 and same high prices. 🤣 No movement in prices whatsoever. Just hoping.

Pay the remaining balance line is on all bookigns. You should be safe with the $200 deposit. Yes, it's standard language on all outstanding sails in your account whether booked via a TA, on board, Royal land agents and even via the Casino desk. My Explorer sail was booked on board and transferred to my TA for add'l OBCs Ps. The line appears even if cruise has been fully paid. What appears below that line is: "you don't have a balance due."

Don’t worry your $200 is fine. No further monies are due until 90 days prior to sail. That line is standard on all bookings. Below is a snapshot of my Explorer cruise of January ‘25.

I cancelled Chop's and rebooked at a lower price. Kept looking for refund to my CC. So, after 2 weeks, I called Royal to ascertain the status of my refund since other refunds showed up the very next day. The Agent tells me that it was originally booked with OBCs, and the refund amount was reinstituted as OBC. Boy was I sheepishly embarrassed. That is what happens when you make multiple changes to bookings in which part is OBC and part is CC.

That's the experience with the sofa bed on recent Oasis sail. Made selection for morning service. Sofa bed was closed and opened in the evenings.

Although you can't get any tier benefits level until you complete the sail, but the Loyalty Ambassador may have the updated points while you are cruising. For instance, when you earn a C&A crystal block you earn the block for the cruise that you are currently on. I go to the LA and she checks the total points required and gives me the block.

When they charged full price did they charge you for the net difference on board or credited you CC for the initial purchase.

Minor cash flow advantage.🤣

You can't proceed unless you select a time. I booked Jamie's for Luch on 2 of my family cruises and selected the earliest time available of 12pm. Now I have to hope that we get an early check-in times.😜

I had the same experience and couldn't believe it and I mocked booking multiple times to be sure that I did it right.🤣 Same basic per day rate of $20.99, but minor different final pricing for different ships and sail. However, both produced $14 for the week on a 4th device.

Lunch on symphony October sail is $14.99pp

Would you believe that the 4th device is only costing $14 for the week. It's worth not toggling/coordinating back and forth. I'm D+ and Casino prime and this is a bargain when compared that I would pay $94+ if I used these 2 benefit discounts.😊

One can use the BOGO on night 1 and the other on night 2. I've had success by having BOGO on 2nd night and the 5th night. However, as someone mentioned it varies by ships. I would take a chance and go to any SR as soon as you board and play dumb 🤣and tell them what you desire. Sometimes it may be a late time reservation.

Internet with 4 devices on Easter Anthems ail shows 55% reduction.🤣

Thanks @OCSC Mike & @firefly333 It's so funny that even though the primary per day is $20.99 the calculation on 4 devices between Easter '24 Anthem and October '24 Symphony sail is different. October sail is $293.93 vs the Easter sail of $279.93.🤣

Just a question, I've got 2 rooms booked. My son & family (3) will be next to mine. I originally booked the internet for 3 devices as a Xmas present and it cost $279.83 and averages $13.32 pp/pd. If I included a 4th for myself the price totals $293.93 for an average $10.50pp/pd. Will I be able to log on even though I'm in a separate cabin. Can't recall what info is required to log on.

The only excursion sale that I saw was Nassau Blue Lagoon deluxe beach break for $72.99 pp on the October Symphony's sail. The April one is $82+ pp

So far on my Easter '24 and Symphony October sails the followeing seem to nb on sale. Jamie's & Hooked seafood: $14.99. Pasta day special was $15.99. UDP: $249.99. lower than previously advertised Refreshment package: $23.99 and soda $8.99 Internet: $20.99 Key is still high and no changes to dinner SR.

Cheaper in the cruise planner, unless you have promo of free days or casino discount. Yes to your second point. There can be a max of 4 devices to one registered passenger.

That is the reason that I chose the $500 as it was restricted to 7 nights only, whereas the same identical cruise of February 2022 was gratis even with the upgrade to Oceanview balcony. Only taxes & fees incurred. Rules changed, don't know when.

I can only give you an illustration from my experience. Go to your Casino Royale account and when you see the offer click redeem and follow the instructions There will follow a page that will ask certain questions such as ship, date of sail, etc. Once finished and submit the request, an e-mail will follow to see if accepted. Ps. There is also a $ value as trade in for any sails. For instance, I wanted to upgrade from the interior to a balcony, but the pricing was not up to what I expected. The trade in value was $500 and I used it towards a February 8 night sail on Anthem and after the C&A balcony discount and the solo supplement it cost about $750.

Royal needs the cash flow to pare down its debt.🤣

Wish one could resell a cabin in the open market. Be able to make some series bucks. For instance, I booked about a year ago, as a Xmas present, an ocean view balcony cabin for my son & family (3) on Anthem sailing Easter Sunday and was selling for $3,158. Although not an exact comparison. but will provide a good indication of the increased pricing. Currently only ocean views w/large balcony are available and the fare totals $6,443 😊 There's a C&A balcony discount of $226 in both pricing.

Good news, hope it translates into actual savings.😊
