Just wondering if anyone knows if I choose to change my cruise that is Aug 23, 2020 to Aug 22, 2021 and keep the same rate that I paid am I still covered under cruising with confidence where I cancel up to 48hrs before the cruise leaves and still get a FCC for what I paid?

I talked to 1 agent on the phone that said yes and when I was ready to make the change today the new agent told me that if I choose to keep my rate then cruising with confidence doesn't apply.

I realize its late but on the Royal website it lists a number as 24/7. When I call that number it says the office is closed 😞 Anyone know which number I can call for help with a reservation? I tried both 1-800-256-6649 and 1-866-562-7625 and get the same message about them being closed.

Mine went down $1350 for August! Been on hold for 40mins so far I'm not giving up for that amount lol

Thanks so much for the replies! I didn't realize you could refund it on myvegas.

I recently booked a cruise (I think about 20 days ago) and I use MyVegas and want to redeem for OBC. I'm reading that some people say you need to redeem within 14 days of booking and some say 30 days. Can anyone confirm? I don't want to lose the coins if it really is 14 days.

I brought a fan on my last cruise because I heard that the A/C broke on the cruise before mine. It was a small tower fan that could sit on a table and I never had any problems getting it on the ship (Anthem). I kept it in my carry on and it went through the scanners and they said nothing at all.

I would check Walmart online and select a store location.  It should tell you if they have anything in stock in that store.  Not worth going if they don't have them.  I live in Massachusetts and our Walmart stores have them, even in the winter.  CVS carries them in the summer, in the seasonal section.

I'll try that for sure! Thanks again 😄

No, they are in the fan department, small appliances area.  Amazon has them too but maybe not enough time before you leave.

Yeah I looked in the fan dept. there were literally like 2 options and they were both heater/fan. I guess at this time of the year they don't stock much like that. I will try in Bayonne before the cruise though as I might have better luck at Walmart in the US. Thanks 🙂

We bring an O2 Cool 5 inch battery operated/USB fan on every cruise.  Walmart carries them all year.  I would not expect a fan with a heating function to be allowed on the ship.

I was at Walmart today (in Canada) and I looked in electronics and didn't see anything like that. I'm assuming thats the section you found that in? Maybe I will try Walmart in the US before the cruise.

I'm sailing on this cruise on Friday and I was thinking if it isn't fixed by then I would buy a small fan to bring on board. I'm thinking one of the ones I can plug into an outlet that is small and could sit on a desk or something. Has anyone ever brought anything like this onboard/ know if they allow it? I heard some rooms were given fans but I'm guessing there is not enough to give to all rooms. I cannot sleep if it is even slightly hot so I am trying to be proactive lol! I added a picture here of the one I was thinking of. I should also mention that  it has a heat function as well that I obviously wouldn't be using.

I'm sailing on anthem and in under 70 days, but the entertainment reservations still aren't available. I called royal caribbean and talked to a reservations agent but they were no help and told me this is normal that entertainment isn't finalized until a week before the cruise sails (which is totally untrue because I've booked entertainment well in advance before). I'm itching to get the reservations made because I have MTD and I want to make those reservations (but I cannot because I don't know when I'll be seeing shows). Just wondering if anyone knows a phone number or email of someone I could talk to that may know more about why entertainment is not showing available yet? I feel like maybe it was just an oversight and someone possibly forgot to push a button to release the reservations or something because I have never encountered this before..

Thanks in advance 🙂

Thanks for the replies 😄 I'll keep checking! I just get soo excited to book reservations for things - it makes me feel like the cruise is getting closer when I do so lol

It's probably a bit too soon...just keep checking!

 Thats what I was thinking at first but then I started thinking back and I think I remember booking things earlier. Maybe it differs from cruise to cruise. Thanks for the reply!

I will be on Anthem January 18, 2019 and I am just wondering when entertainment reservations can be made? My cruise is in 74 days and there is still nothing showing on the website. My family has 2 other rooms booked and they are the same. I am pretty sure in the past I've booked entertainment reservations before this time. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there someone I could call to inquire about this? I'm not sure if the reservation agents would be able to help me with this but I am probably going to give them a call too.

Thanks!

I've slept on both and 100% of the time I'd pick the pullman. I find the sofa beds not as comfortable and it seems like everytime I requested the egg crate mattress topper they didn't have any available.

I was on Anthem last year and I had no issues with using netflix on voom, it was just as if I were watching at home except that the screen was smaller because I only connected with my iphone and not a laptop like I normally would. It didn't seem to need time to buffer or anything it was just smooth and consistent. I was on a 13 night Caribbean cruise and no matter where we were (Antigua, Barbados, Bahamas, etc) it connected me to U.S. netflix.

Personally I usually get inside rooms because I only go there to sleep. If I want to look outside I go on the pool deck. It is a bit small in those rooms but when you aren't spending much time there I don't find it that bad. However for the little price difference it may be nice for you to have an oceanview. Depends how much time you will be spending in your room I think.

As someone else mentioned, the savory bites that are not available in the bread basket in the MDR anymore but you can ask your waiter for them and they will usually bring a whole plate for you every night. They are amazing! I can't get enough of them lol and from what I've read there are many other people that love them too! If you haven't tried them I'd say its a must!

First try logging in with your email address instead of your user id. If that still does not work, click the forgot password link. You will receive a link to reset your password. You can use the same password if it passes the new password requirements but you will need to use your email address to login.

You are a genius! This worked for me thanks sooo much for the replies!

I've been trying to login to royalcaribbean.com since March 10 and each time I get a message at the bottom of the screen that says: We're unable to complete your request, so please try again later.

I've been trying to login at different times of the day and also I tried on both google chrome and internet explorer. I read something about deleting history and clearing the cache so I tried that too but it didn't help.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues recently or if its just me? I'll probably give them a call if it persists but just wanted to know if others were experiencing this too :)

That is possible...my sister booked a few months before I did. Thanks for the reply :)

I am currently on Anthem and our stop in St.Kitts got cancelled due to the weather. I’ve never had a stop cancelled before and didn’t realize they would refund the taxes and port fees.

Anyways my question is I am in an interior studio room and my sisters family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small children) are in a regular interior room. I was refunded $8.50 and my sister was refunded $17.44 per person. I’m wondering why she would be refunded double what I got. Again, I’ve never had this situation before but I assumed port fees would be similar for each guest?

It really doesn’t make much difference as it is such a small sum of money but I am just curious how this works.

The only free things are the casino and marina village. There are three passes, aqua adventure (waterpark/beach/aquarium), beach/aquarium, and aquarium. They range from $130 (higher peak season) to around $45.

Thanks so much! This helped a lot :)

My family was thinking of visiting Atlantis while we are in Bahamas during our cruise...I've been trying to research what can be done for free and what needs to be paid for and I keep finding information that says something is free and then I find someone else says the same thing is now paid for..so now I am a little confused lol

Just wondering if someone can give me a quick breakdown on approximate prices for different things at Atlantis and also commenting on what is free would be great too :D

My first 2-3 cruises which were on Explorer all had the midnight buffets but since then I've been on Independence and Oasis and neither had them. Last year I was on Allure and they did the midnight buffet as a special thing just because it was the Presidents cruise but I would assume they normally do not. Anyways I'm not sure if they still do it on Explorer or not.
