  1. That's the same thought that came to mind. Miscellaneous-Good Grief! I guess their IT codes are very limited.๐Ÿ˜†
  2. Unless it's quite recent, I was able to get the BOGO for nights 2 & 5 on Oasis August 20 sail. The booking was done on board and not pre-booked. The funny thing was that I was cruising with family members and I had made pre-cruise reservations of Chop's +1 for them. Went to Chop's when boarded and asked the Maitre D to book my BOGO and he gives me grief by telling me that it's a party of 8 and the table was set up for 7. Mind you, this was as we boarded, and the Chop's was for the 2nd night. I looked at him and said I have 3 children and I'm sure you can squeeze another chair. Well, when we got there, it was a totally different table (by the wine refrigerator) than the one he pointed out. Gets better, the second restaurant reserved was Giovanni's. When he entered my BOGO, he screwed it all up as he had all of us in Chop's instead of G. So instead of being Chop's and some other restaurant it was C & C.๐Ÿคฃ Was able to resolve it but instead of 5:30 we ate at 7:45. I'm solo and never had any problems getting the BOGO for different nights.
  3. Same here on Oasis & Anthem. What I find frustrating, when I need a connecting cabin for my party, they are more expensive than a non. However, when I travel solo without anyone, the connecting ones are much cheaper. Can't win in life.๐Ÿคฃ
  4. Sorry, meant as to the lack of flexibility to the statement in the rules. For instance, if Oasis is sailing from Bayonne and the first stop is Cape Canaveral and there's a huge emergency (involves multiple Paxs) and needs to dock somewhere in between. At what point is Royal fined and the fine is it based on passengers getting off or the entire population. Also, if there's a death, does Royal bill the estate.
  5. But they have to provide documentation which is what the OP is simply asking.
  6. A medical emergency considered unlawful. There's has to be some common sense otherwise it makes no sense.
  7. What happens when a Pax has a medical emergency and has to be airlifted what penalties are incurred. My only experience is some years ago, we had an emergency with my daughter going to hospital. The next port of all was San Juan. With Royal assistance we had a smooth exit. Royal and any other federal entity did not charge us for anything.
  8. I was traveling with family members on Oasis August 20 sail. Since my daughter was traveling with teenagers, she asked if she could use my cabin bathroom/shower (I was solo) if needed. Went to GS and they issued a 2nd cabin card, however, it was not eligible to incur charges.
  9. All of the OP is looking for proper is documentation so as to proceed with the 2nd option, Travel Insurance. Royal needs to step up and deliver on the service.
  10. I guess my deeper question is do the 2 parties exchange details of what amenities are offered by each and in total on a specific booking. Otherwise, you are right that the language vis a vis shareholder's benefit might be not applicable.
  11. While on Board Oasis on August 20th sail I booked an 11 niter on Explorer sailing January '25. Received $200 in OBCs for booking on board. Transferred reservations to my TA for additional amenities and I usually don't read the fine print, but the following statement included with the invoice caught my attention. I've used this TA previously and never saw such as statement. I was planning on applying for the Shareholder's Benefit and held up trying to get my hands around this. Don't want to get the TA involved. Any clarification/assistance would be appreciated.

  12. No different system. I have some old ones which I was told can be re-programmed. They were from one of my Anthem sails. Notice the pimples vs the current ones that have clasps. When these were first introduced on the Quantum, they had the Assembly Station on them.
  13. Iโ€™ve got a similar time of departure and mine is at Bush Intl. Airport. Originally I had a 12 pm flight and changed it when I discovered that itโ€™s a 2 hour drive in a good day. ๐Ÿ˜€
  14. Not many kids at the Oasis Lagoon and it's free.๐Ÿ˜„
  15. It can't be any louder or party atmosphere than the Oasis Lagoon and it's free.๐Ÿคฃ
  16. Will be sailing on Harmony on December 3, 2023, and flying United Air into Bush Int'l. Can anyone identify the pick-up location for the shuttle. Also, tentatively arriving at 8:45 AM and is the 10AM shuttle too early. Thanks in advance,
  17. It's been like that for a number of years and including pre-pandemic. When PC was first introduced it was the cat's meow. Heck, they even got rid of the chips.
  18. They change from week to week. For instance, Cats was offered on the 1st 2 days on our August 20 sail, but on Oasis October 9 it's on the last 2 days. We also had only 1 headliner Jason Bishop an illusionist and he was fantastic. In addition, a very funny guy. There's a new production "One Sky" and to me it seems like a combination of "We Will Rock You", dancing and a bit of acrobatics. A replica of an airplane was interesting. Hereโ€™s the entertainment schedule for the week of August 20
  19. I'm D+ and on recent August 20 sail, did not receive a paper illustration of my on-board benefits. Had to go to GS and I was given a listing of benefits for all tiers. Also, any invite to special C&A events was done via phone message. Saving paper and ink.๐Ÿคฃ
  20. That's what I do, however, if the Op has no discounts, it's best to book in the planner. I would do a cost benefit comparison. The planner undiscounted amount is usually the amount charged pp/pd. Also, if you get a 2nd device, it's cheaper.
  21. Never been able to since the beginning to sail. Remember, some years ago being able to book in the planner.
  22. About 30 days prior to your sail. However, I would examine a few days prior to the 30. Been successful in my August and upcoming October Oasis sails.
  23. On the 5th day of the Oasis August 20 sail, suddenly bananas disappeared from the WJ breakfast. Got a hold of a supervisor and asked if he could get me a banana. He said sure and a few minutes later he brought the fruit to my table. Bananas were there on the 6th and 7th day. I don't get it.๐Ÿ˜†
  24. When will the full summer โ€˜25 schedule be out. Interested in Symphony sailing from Bayonne.
