They stick to their times Edited to add: For Air 2 Sea bookings

Of the rooms I listed one room holds 2 guests snd the other holds up to 4 guests.

The release of the remainder of the Jewels itineraries is supposed to be this week from what I was told. Don't hold your hopes out for a TA.

Many times, especially now as ships are sailing full they never get released

Depends on when the cruise was booked. See post 4.

Nothing changes, he still has Diamond status.

You are most likely seeing videos from Anthem, Quantum or Ovation that had these family connecting rooms that are not on Odyssey. Connecting doors for Odyssey are in the room

It is the final payment date as set by the cruise line

We can't even use them in our own country. We switched to coins for our $1 and $2 bills decades ago and as of Jan 1, 2022 the paper money is no longer considered legal tender.

They are under no obligation to offer you anything.

Feb 10th The first sailing that I went to I found 8 connecting balconies and I only checked the 1D/2D combinations 9178 and 9180 9564/9562 8174/8176 8588/8566 7186/7188 7576/7574 7588/7586 Not going to check the other sailings because I can pretty much guarantee the results will be similar...there is lots of availability.

Depending on when the cruise was booked.... If it was booked prior to June 1, 2022 then if you cancel there is a $100pp fee and the rest is issued as a FCC. If it was booked after June 1, 2022 then yes, cancelling outright is a loss of the entire deposit.

What date are you looking at? Like I said the first date I checked there were cabins available on the first deck I looked at. Royals consumer site does not list all available cabins.

XB is the oceanview balcony gty. XN is the neighbourhood balcony gty. Booking the XB will likely get you assigned a 4D

I should have been clearer. There are no group rates for more than 2 guests, except on Icon.

I am assuming that you are going in the day before and not planning on arriving at 3pm the day of...

You were given wrong information and it appears that the person you were talking to was clueless. The first Symphony cruise I just checked I was able to find balconies that connect on the first deck that I checked. First off you need to know what you are looking for. You want balconies that connect versus connecting balconies and yes there is a huge difference. The Connecting Balconies (category CB) are only able to hold 2 guests per stateroom which for you as you need 2 in one room and 3 in the other room is why they appeared sold out. What you want is balconies that connect and you have to do separate searches as there are lots of double occupancy balconies that connect with triple or quad occupancy rooms. The specific categories that you are looking for are a 2D and a 1D (midship balconies) or a 3D and a 4D (forward or aft balconies)

The only thing that I can put a value on in here is those Canadian $1 bills. Take them to the bank and get your 70 cents for them.

There is no fee

Use a TA, They use a much more user friendly booking engine for Royals site and can quickly find accessible staterooms

Depends on what you are buying. small bills for small purchases, larger bills for larger purchases.

Port fees and taxes for no show guests will be refunded to the credit card used to book the cruise and not issued as OBC.

Use the cruise planner from a computer

Yes that is one way. You don't have to provide flight options. You can fly in the day before if you want snd make your way back to the airport and use Royals shuttle. You can also fly into one airport and out of another. Lots of options.
