This is ABSOLUTE GOLD! Thank you very much as we are looking at NZ next year. Great !

Well the "plot thickens" - I just received this $300 offer for June sailing "Jackpot June".. I did hover over the expiry dates and nothing happened - will see what happens when I book the cruise and apply for the discount.

Hi all Back in March I completed a 4 day sampler cruise (Quantum of the Seas) from Brisbane to Airlie Beach (March 10-14). This would of been my 4th RC Cruise - although the last cruise was back in 2013 on Explorer - and previously on Voyager and Legend of the Seas. Quantum was fantastic and myself and my 2 friends "splurged" on a Grand Suite. This was their very first cruise so they were super impressed. We frequented the casino during the cruise and we stuck to our budget, but luckily I ended up accumulating 417 Casino Royal points which rewarded me with a $100 Cruise Rewards Certificate for a future cruise. We're patiently waiting for May 1 to see the New Zealand cruise options from Sydney in Oct/Nov 2024. But this is where things get "interesting". I checked the Club Royale offers website a few weeks after my cruise and (as per screenshot) I now have $200 off a cruise - and luckily there is no expiry date.. so will claim this once we book our next cruise next month. So that's good - although the 2nd offer (book cruises from June-Sept) will not be an option as the Australian cruises season has technically finished and wont resume until October and I don't have any plans to cruise from an overseas port in the meantime. But last week I noticed I was offered a FREE INTERIOR cruise! Here are the options (again, ALL USA ports). So out of interest (and being a "sticky-beak") I applied for the Harmony cruise on 2 Sep from Miami. Next day I received the Invoice for $276.07 for Port fees - with 48 hours to pay the fee to prevent the booking being cancelled. Naturally I let the booking cancel and expire. So my question really is - Why would I of been selected for a free cruise after just 4 cruises - and still a CHOICE member just only 417 points? Is it a computer complexity that has no rhythm or reason - or just sheer luck? I've seen on FB posts that some Prime members receive little or no offers. The major problem with the offer is ofcourse the location - the cruises are all USA based and none in Australia (Brisbane or Sydney). Anyway atleast I can hopefully claim the $200 offer in the next month - which is appreciated. Has this happened to anyone previously?

Hi Am booked in Grand Suite with QOTS for March next year from Brisbane. I've read that the Concierge will send an "welcome email" approx 1 week before the sailing. Will they be able to pre-book our Dinner at Coastal Kitchen as well as the shows at the 270 and Theatre before we get on the ship? If not, can we do this through the App somehow prior to our cruise? Appreciate your comments. Regards

Hi 3 of us are booked in March 23 from Brisbane for Q - With breakfast on QOTS in a Grand Suite, does the menu include the "hot" food items such as bacon/eggs/sausages etc.. or is it just the Continental Breakfast times. I have also read that there is no $7.95 cover charge - is this correct? My second question - what is the approximate charge, per day , for Gratuity in Suites. Thanks for your assistance Regards Darren

Thank you for your speedy reply and information - much appreciated

Hi 3 of us are in a Grand Suite for 4 day Sampler (10-14 March 2023) from Brisbane onboard the Quantum of the Seas. I have read that there is an option for the WOW wrist bands to use for our account/purchases/opening door instead of the Seapass. Can anyone please advise if this is correct? Also regarding COVID - hopefully (by March next year) we may not have to do a RAT test before the cruise, will have to wait closer to the date. And finally do we have to wear a "Tracelet" to track any potential COVID close contacts etc while on the ship? Thanks for your help everyone.
