Well folks. We knew this would come sooner than later. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

we got a GS for nearly half of what they wanted for the previous two 9nt sailings. granted the previous 2 sailings are closer to spring breaks.

Yeah March and early April are high season. Our sailing is the spring doldrums before the summer season.

I am booked on two April 2018 sailings of Navigator booked directly with RCI both my deposits have gone through on my credit card. Cannot access the bookings though on My Cruises

Same. It disappeared off my MY Cruises account last week.

Agreed, I am glad someone else is getting the same information as me. Assuming our respective TA's are right and all works out, I am anxious to see if, and how much, the price goes up.

I don't know what you booked, but the price we booked for our room was in line with what we are paying for the Navigator this December. So hopefully you will not have a price increase.

My TA assured me my booking for the 9nt sailing on April 13th, 2018 was safe, locked in, and that it would show back up on Royal's site "no sooner" than Tuesday. I trust him but I would feel better when RCCL charges my credit card for the deposit. I am pretty sure I got a steal.

We are also on that sailing, so good to know. My TA was told the exact same thing as you. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the response.

Has anyone heard any updates for Navigator April 2018? I was assured by D+ desk at CAS the cruise was not being cancelled lol. Let's see how true that statement is....

We are in 12646 on Anthem and I can confirm there is no divider. They did a really good job of removing it. There is no evidence it was ever there.

Beautiful. How many chairs does the table have?

Hi all,

Just wondering if the Sabor on Oasis class ships has a snack menu for mid day drinks? Nachos, etc?

Thanks!

I was told by head office that I can apply certificate to a booked cruise but let them know so they can make a record of it and that way they lock in the price.

 

 

 

I just booked a cruise for next year while onboard the Allure. I got the BOGOHO price but for this promotion they do not apply balcony discounts but instead give $300 OBC.

 

 

 

Can you keep the OBC for complimentary cruises? Since I am still onboard the Allure I cannot get answers from personnel onboard.

 

 

 

Do I still pay fees and taxes?

That is what I was told also (notating the booking to lock in price) and I did that for my pinnacle cruise next year. It is my understanding that they will not allow you to use the balcony discount, but can keep OBC from promotions or from next cruise. In our instance, we are doing an 11 night cruise in a suite. So they will prorate the lowest balcony price on our cruise as if it were a 7 night cruise and give us the value for that.

Yes, you would call the D+ desk and then ask for the Pinnacle Resolutions Rep.

Thank you, Patti, for your kindness and wealth of information :)

PC Complimentary cruises can be applied to a longer cruise and they are not restricted to just Caribbean sailings.

What happens if you already have the cruise booked?? Do they take the "up to" $1200pp off??

Yes I agree the RC website is not good and has not much information on the Rhapsody.My tip for anyone going on a cruise or just going on a cruise ship for the first tims is to go with an open mind.As most people only post a review if they are unhappy about something.We have been on cruises and had people complain about everything including there not being a band near the pool and they did have a band by the pool.Also if you don't like loud musicals don't go to the shows but there are lots of other things to do.I hope you really enjoy your cruise.

 

Cheers Trish

Do you by chance remember the name of the concierge onboard during your cruise on the Rhapsody?

Can anyone comment on the current Rhapsody concierge?

Hi All - quick question to any recent Rhapsody cruisers. We leave this week and was wondering if the concierge onboard will reach out to suite guests before the cruise. Can any recent cruisers comment on the concierge? Thank you.

Just off Rhapsody. 5pm to 8.30pm.

How was the concierge?

The picture is too small to be sure, but it certainly looks like it! Thanks! I hope you're right! :)

Using my iPhone. Sorry. I am pretty sure it has been removed. But confirmation in January will be appreciated.

I have seen more recent pictures posted and it seems there is no change. We are still in this suite for our January cruise and I will report back here once on board. I think the proximity to the Concierge Lounge makes up for the balcony issue. I've heard that is it a really nice lounge on Anthem! :)

The last picture I saw showed the divider had been removed.

Updated Splendor.

 

 

 

Does anyone know who will replace Amit on RH when he goes to SP?

When does he move to splendour?

Do the WOW bands show you are in a suite? Do they open the concierge lounge?

I remember reading somewhere that on night 1, the Grande does not have the formal dress code requirement. Can anyone verify that this is the case?

Thank you.

Thank you for your post. We are also booked in this suite and received visual confirmation today of the error on the deck plan and the balcony restriction of this room. We are very disappointed, especially with the premium we are paying. On our cruise, no other grand suite cabins are currently available and I just got off the phone with the D+/Pinnacle desk where they too told me this is the pitfalls of booking a new ship and I had until final payment date to cancel. I called just to let then know.

We are looking at other options now, especially for the price we are paying. We have never been disappointed in RCL in over 20 years, but I must admit this is a downer. We have at least one cabin sailing with is who will also cancel, as we cruise together. Such a shame.

I know the outermost section of the divider opens, but not sure about the rest of it. I will let you know if I hear from someone who has seen it up close. Not much I can do about it now. We already moved there from a GS on deck 8 to be close to the Concierge Club. Now no other GS available for our cruise. All things considered not that big a deal, but not what I was expecting.

All the GS are gone too on our cruise. I am a bit shocked because we were expecting the larger balcony. Please let me know if you hear (or see) anything else. Thanks!

Oh wow. Not good. We are also booked in this room and booked it for the expansive balcony.

Just realized my pics aren't that great. Will post from my PC later vs my phone.

Balcony is definitely bigger. Roughly 2x size of normal GS, so about 218 sq ft

We have this cabin booked on an upcoming cruise. Does anyone have photos of this area hump of the quantum or anthem? I would like to see if we can get a feel for the extra balcony length.

Thanks so much Trish.
