New Policy, only one entree at a time?
RFerrington replied to mcatmcat's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I concur. I have never had any trouble getting something deleted from my order. I don't eat cheese so I often tell them to leave off the cheese (whatever it happens to be) and they have never once denied me this request. -
Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)
RFerrington replied to Daghis's topic in Cruise Casinos
First I’ve heard of this one….but it wouldn’t affect us, even if true. I have absolutely no reason to be in that stinky, smokey casino unless I’m gambling. I rarely get a casino drink, anyway. -

I can almost guarantee you that you will not be able to combine C&A discount with a casino discount. -
Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)
RFerrington replied to Daghis's topic in Cruise Casinos
I did a quick look at prices for the OA 9/3/23 sailing. Full fare for a 4V is $1599 before any taxes or port fees….so $530 is definitely less than 50% of full fare. Agreed, the single supplement thing makes no sense at all… -
You won’t be. As long as you book your rezzies as soon as you board, you will have plenty of options for days and times. Last week on EX the only “compromise” we had to make was instead of eating at Chops at 6:45 on night #2 (formal night), we had to eat at 7:45. Big deal. We got all of the other dates and times we originally wanted.

Oasis class: star loft. Opinions please
RFerrington replied to philpcruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I’ve stayed in both (Harmony) and definitely prefer the water-facing one. While the aft-facing one definitely has a bigger balcony, it is a bit more cramped upstairs. -
Offers received from Club Royale (Royal Caribbean)
RFerrington replied to Daghis's topic in Cruise Casinos
Has anyone actually priced one of these BOGO offers yet ? TBH I’m done with the crappy 3-4-5 night offers on old ships I’ve been getting. I might actually be willing to pay a little more for a 7 night O class ship. Depending upon how much of a “casino discount” they are giving person #2, it might not be a terrible deal. -

We just disembarked EX yesterday. We each won a comp cruise and booked through Next Cruise while onboard. Both of those offers were comp room for 2. -
I have read of those who purchased a dining package, then pre-booked (and prepaid) their individual specialty dining meals and then asked for a refund for the individual reservations, once onboard. It seems that Royal has caught on to this "hack" and is enforcing the 48 hour cancellation policy. So, if you book (and prepay) a specialty dining reservation for either night #1 or #2, then try and get a refund for the full prepaid price, they will waive the 48 hour cancellation policy at you and potentially not refund your money. I have never done this....so I cannot testify that it's true. It's just what I have read.

Oasis class full suite questions
RFerrington replied to Mark_K's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The 11-11 bar service is for Oasis class only so it will not be on Anthem -
royal caribbean royal up
RFerrington replied to cruisinfanatic's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I agree that the 30 day thing is just a smokescreen. It means nothing. If you are within 30 days of a cruise and still getting the bogus 30 day error message, try putting the other guest’s name in (assuming there is another guest). Sometimes my name works and sometimes my husband’s name works. -
Anthem junior suite priority boarding gone?
RFerrington replied to angelhelly's topic in Royal Caribbean International
On EX now. This work around did not work for me. “Suite” was still missing. We had no problem boarding in the Suite line at Miami Terminal G. They didn’t even look to see whether the word Suite was there or not. -
"New" Harmony non-smoking "mini"casino
RFerrington replied to The Scurvy Pirate's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You have my sincere condolences. My money routinely suffers the same re-allocation. -
"New" Harmony non-smoking "mini"casino
RFerrington replied to The Scurvy Pirate's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I thought I had read that the new smoke free casino annex was going to have its own cashiers cage. Is that true ? We left OA just before they finished the conversion so we didn’t get to see what it finally looked like. -
Priority Embarkation for Diamond Members?
RFerrington replied to sqdurham's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It has been my recent experience (all from Miami) that even the Suites/Pinns/Key don’t really get much of a boarding head start. It seems like, as soon as they start the S/P/K boarding through one door, they also begin allowing the GenPop in through the other door, so basically everyone starts at basically the same time -just different starting points. The only ones with true advantage are the B2B’ers. -

Crown & Anchor benefits "updated" 3/10/23
RFerrington replied to sdrocks's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thank you ! It’s so great to be cruising again. It kinda seems like we’re just jumping from ship to ship ! Things will slow down for us after May. The casino comps are few and far between during the summer. We have a shorty on Serenade in July but that’s the only summer cruise we have booked. Making up for lost time ! -
Prime cruise offer question
RFerrington replied to Parkhopper's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Combined interior offers only yield an ocean view cabin. IMO it is a waste of your second comp offer unless it’s just a situation where you only have the time off for one cruise. Upgrading from an interior to an OV is typically only a couple of hundred dollars (ship/itin dependent, of course). -

RFerrington replied to sdrocks's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Boarded EX today. To my great surprise, all of my Cokes (16 of them) and waters were delivered. I was happy but surprised. I just want my Cokes - they can keep their totes, toiletry bags, beach towels, cheap-ass slippers and whatever else they try and pass off. I hope it continues ! -

How do people afford $20,000 suites?
RFerrington replied to Sigyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
One of the most important perks of SC that I haven’t seen mentioned is unlimited laundry service. They wash and press everything then return it to you on hangers. It’s one of my very favorite SC amenities. -
How do people afford $20,000 suites?
RFerrington replied to Sigyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You can use any complimentary casino offer and upgrade all the way to Star Class. In the past, it has been as much as a 60% discount off the website price. You must be a Club Royale member and generally (but not always) at least a Prime level player. I have done this many, many times. -
How do people afford $20,000 suites?
RFerrington replied to Sigyn's topic in Royal Caribbean International
A lot of high end Suite passengers get very good rates using casino discounts so while it may look like they are spending big $$ they are not spending exorbitant amounts. Some people book their high end suites and pay small amounts over time.
