What did Royal say when you called them to get this resolved?

Just called them.   They admitted to a mistake and reinstated me to my original categorie  and zero balance.   Happy camper now

You didn't put in a royalup bid?  Or maybe your travel partner did?

No I did not pay for royal up as my kids need to be in a room next to me.  Any no one in my party deals with vacation planning EVER.   So it’s down to a royal screw up on their end.  Just need to resolve it ASAP 

I did not ask for a free upgrade I asked to see how much it was to possibly upgrade to a balcony

So you asked for a free upgrade? What is the purpose of that?

Cruising March 15 noticed I got an upgrade late at night but come to find out I have to pay for it? I did not authorize it.  It was done 1130 at night and I was not on the phone with them for at least a day. I had inquired about upgrading but I did not ask for an upgrade let alone agreed to pay $1200 a room extra.  what is going on?

We are sailing next week on anthem of the sea room 12 678. We are leaving out of New Jersey which side of the ship is this room? Also from this balcony room where we have a view of the Statue of Liberty when we are leaving New Jersey? Does he even pass Statue of LibertyAnd if it does does the balcony view have a good view of it

Hi,

With cruise lines now offering customers with bookings the opportunity to cancel cruises with a full refund given in future cruise certificates in light of the current Coronavirus situation, I'm hoping someone can answer this query.

I have booked a family cruise for Summer 2020 for the Med aboard Anthem OTS as a gift to them. I will be making the full payment for everyone who is going (3 couples).  However, if RCI cancels the cruise (or we decide to cancel) the future cruise certificates will be issued in individual names even though I have paid for the entire cruise. 

If someone in our party who has a future cruise certificate decides they are not coming on our re-booked cruise that means I have lost one hell of a lot of money if I can't use their future cruise certificate because it's in their name (even though I've paid). It just doesn't seem right that I am paying but someone else will be getting the credit.

Maybe I should point out that one of the people going is not family.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks.

I was supposed to be on the oasis of the sea last year when the crane fell on it 2 weeks before our sail date. We had 3 cabins and I paid for all of the guests.  

needless to say, our cruise was cancelled.  The refunded our money in full and provided full future cruise credit to all of us.  The money of course was all refunded to me, however the FCC was issued to each individual person and not all to me.  Thats how it works.  GOOD LUCK

The indoor family pool is open to all ages except anyone in diapers or swim diapers.  No one in a diaper can use the regular pools or hot tubs.  

 

Pools can be heated and they are in the winter months.  At some point they won't heat the pools because in the summer they would be too warm.  I'm guessing they'll still heat them in March.  If I recall they heat to 78°F.

 

There is a separate indoor solarium that is 16+. 

This is what I am hoping.  So cold in NJ in March.  Shoot I have cruised out of NYC mid APRIL and it was freezing.

Can’t wait to get on my upcoming cruise.   Not my first cruise but it is the first time we are getting the 3 day specialty restaurant package.  Few quick questions.  
 

how and where and when do I make the reservations ?  
 

I don’t want to miss lobster night , when is this night ?

i have the unlimited beverage package, can I order wine and drinks in specialty restaurants ?
 

we plan on going to the wonderland restaurant, chops grille and Italian restaurant.  Any other suggestions ? 

thanks 

What is the drinking age on board ship?  I have an 18 year old which I wouldn't mind her having a drink.  Also jet ski rentals at cococay.  We are a party of 4 but we want to rent two jet skis and then have 2 passengers.   Wont let me add passengers when I book online.  do I just book two and add the passengers once we get on the island?  One of the passengers is only 14.  we know he cant be the driver....  anyone have experience with this?

I am trying to book two jet skis with two drivers and two passengers.  It seems like I can't add on a passengers.  Do I show up and ask for a two seater instead?  What is your experience booking it online and adding on passengers?  Has anyone done this?

Any updates ? 

Keep us posted

Finally, the *correct* answer. ;-)

I did a non stop 11 hour flight from nj to Hawaii. No food served

IT shouldn’t be a problem. I have done a no back stop from nj to Hawaii 11 hours and packed my own lunch and snack. Also just got back from Italy when packed but snacks to and from. Just don’t pack liquids

What category or categories?

From what I saw or investigated it was inside , oceanview and balcony. It’s about $100 pp less. Then add the 60% of second guest. So not a bad drop for spring break. Price is very good for spring break

https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2684472

Its not just the 60% off second guests that makes it’s cheaper, there’s a drop in base price as well

just a FYI that there was a price reduction and there is a 60% off second guest. So it’s a great deal everyone. PS I am booked on this cruise! See you there!

Princess Cruises offers an On Board Credit to active military, retired military and disabled military veterans. All you need is a copy of your DD Form 214 discharge papers and you receive an OBC of between $50 and $250, depending on the length of the cruise.

 

Does anyone know if RCCL offers a similar benefit?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

No they do not. Not even for active duty or war veterans let alone former military

Call all your credit cards to see if you have an extra charge for an xtra cruise

First I have to say your father looks like a man in his early 70s!

Second , my what a great travel life you have. Can you adopt me? :D

Beautiful review and pictures so far!

Already been answered. Minibar = revenue. Since have done away with them.

realistically even if it stocked a minibar it doesn’t keep it cold. SO what’s the point ?
