Has anyone in the UK had one yet?

Check in is normally provided by the Port Aauthority.

They may have gone the way of P&O check in.

Each deck is colour coded and give a time of check in, on arrival you will get a card of the colour assigned to your deck. You are called forward in order of the cards. Expect some sitting around in the terminal if you arrive early.

we had this on our 2013 adventure cruise. Our card was a golen yellow. they called for gold colour cards so we went over and gt the most patronising look ever and told "no, this is lemon yellow"

Ive stayed at the W 3 times now and love it.

Ive never met a pinnacle member. However I did meet a coupe of D+ on a past cruise. The man of the couple asked me what status I ws before he had even asked my name, then talked on and on about how they got to D+ before the rules changed, and only took 10 cheap weekend cruises, and how we would have "no chance ever getting to D+ with the new rules. :/

Looks like $1646 for inside, $1834 for ocean view, $2074 for balcony.

wow! are there fees to add on to that or is it the total?

this is interesting! we dont have this in the uk!

Could someone possibly tell me the pricing for 2 adults and a child on the 6 night navigator sailing from southampton in october 2016 using this promotion? we dont get this deal in the uk and I wanted to compare!

so they can be grandfathered into diamond status 17 years from now :D just joking

Haha I wont see diamond status in my lifetime!

Business decision and not a con. By the way why woukld "anyone" bring a one year old on a cruise????.....:rolleyes:

Family holiday generally involves taking the family! Cant believe someone is breaking out the rolleyes for me wantng my family with me on holiday!

Besides, I expect i'll still be breastfeeding him/her, so will need to regardless of whether I wanted to (which of course I do!)

It is not a "con" - it is business decision. At least with the US mock booking, the cruise line does not recognize the age of the passenger in setting the third person rate - only that a third person is added. Whether you identify them as a child or adult in the mock booking, the rate for them is the same. They probably offer that distinction for their benefit so that they have a picture of the demographics on that cruise.

 

It should also be noted that it is a lower rate than the first two either way, regardless of whether it is a child or an adult. And as others have said it is based on the fact that another passenger will be on board, not a measure of how much food they will eat or activities in which they will participate.

My point wasnt so much about the price for a third adult vs child, my point was the increase in passengers 1&2 to the point that it isnt much of a reduction for px 3 at all.

I checked that, but ven using the exact same category, it jumps.

So, was looking at a cruise on the royal caribbean website.

12 nights from southampton, for £999 per person.

When I went to book now, and changed it for 2 adults and one child, it said the child price was only £553, but the adult prices suddenly jumped from 999, to 1189 each! Why??

So when you add the increase in the adult prices (£190) to the supposed child price, then the actual cost of the third passenger is £933 - just a £60 reduction.

I know that the third passenger price is not specifically a child price, as it can be used for a third adult in the room, but even so why would adding a third person mean the other two need to cost more?

And what is a 1 year old really going to take part in to justify basically paying £60 less for them than an adult who has so much more inclusive benefits to take advantage of (ie food and activities)

Seems such a con!

we had david curtis last october on the liberty and his website says he is doing april - october this year too.

Hilarious.

this its woirth calling royal caribbean and asking them for a ballpark figure? or do they generally keep everythng quiet tll the day?

No prices has been released yet.

The cruises goes on sale for C&A members April 9. General sale April 11.

that is handy to know! thanks!

i wonder if the pricing will be similar to the caribbean itineraries?

I'm interested to know that too as looking to do both 5 nights as a back to back with time in Barcelona either before or after. The anticipation is killing me :D

thats what we are looking at doing! Any idea when they are releasing the prices?

Any ideas on pricing for the 5 night?

45 days, then 218 days!
