I'm hoping for a deal on any ship like the one I got last year. Junior on Adventure for less than a balcony for April 2018!

I keep getting an error - very frustrating!!

HTTP 400 error

 

It’s not you, it’s this link (it appears to be broken)

 

I called last week because I was having problems with their site and the first thing they asked was I using Chrome and I said yes. That's the problem. Need to use Explorer or something else.

We were scheduled into a panoramic ocean view for March. Spoke to my Royal Vacation Planner. They upgraded us to an aft balcony and we got the future cruise credit (25% I think ?) - which we will be applying towards the cost of our already booked Alaska cruise for summer.

 

So I'm fine now. The credit makes a big difference! And since there were still some very nice balconies left on our sailing, I can compromise.

 

Even though we were originally sailing on that cruise solely to try out the new rooms!

I didn't enjoy the aft balconies. Had a Jr Suite aft and the structure is kind of a pain, it blocks the view to a degree.

My first cruise was with my mom. I was 46 and she was 76. This was also her first cruise. We did 3 together before she passed. I have since done 9 more I think.

San Juan is the worst port for disembarkation. It's completely unorganized and it takes until almost noon for all passngers to disembark and probably until after noon until they cleared for imigration. Supposdly this is the reason that RCL has the longest turnaround from approx 6AM until 8PM for it's ships there. I am wondering if the other terminal in the center used by Carnival for instance is better.

 

I am not blaming RCL on this one, this really seems to be due to the local authorities having a rather lazy attitude ;)

All ships that leave out of San Juan leave in the evening. Celebrity, Carnival.

I feel the entertainment on Jewel is on par with Adventure. DW and I both enjoyed the atmosphere of the smaller Radiance class ship. Carly B was CD and Elvis was activities director. It was by far our most memorable cruise. Just my 2 cents.

Will be boarding for our first Celebrity cruise in 2 weeks! Subscribed. :)

Did you book online or through Royal? Hopefully that isn't an error in the pricing. When the Transatlantics were released there was some funky pricing the first day. For example when I priced the Serenade TA for solo it halved the price rather than doubling it. I'm wondering if I had booked it would Royal have let me keep that price (just over $2000 CAD for an inside) or made me pay the actual (around $3900 CAD)?

I booked it on Royal website,logged in and got $125 C+A discount also. Reduced deposit of $265!

Some of the 2018 Caribbean cruises have been released. Just booked a southern on the Adventure in a Jr Suite. It was less than a balcony!

Just booked a JR suite on adventure. Less than a balcony! Sweet!

Called Celebrity yesterday and I believe they quoted me 1.42. I can get it cheaper here in Windsor. Got some for 1. 36.

22 days! Majesty here we come!

Chops Grill

Red Velvet cake for desert. Might be able to get it in MDR.

Oso Buco in the MDR is fantastic.

Mojito pork chop MDR.

Made my first Royal cruise complete!!!
