Fccs cannot be used for the deposit

Not 100% sure on that one. I do know that they are not eligible to be moved into a group to get extra OBC

Only Star class can order from Specialty.

They ran into difficulties with that doing the Oasis conversion and added cabins and a card room instead. The other OA class ships had the restaurant added when it was being built.

I wonder if there is a clear plastic divider at the bend giving the illusion that you are sliding out into nothingness.

Unfortunately I would not rely on the accuracy of that information.

My gty for the July 22 sailing has been assigned (bar code trick) but not officially showing. (It was there to see once check in was completed 45 days out)

That's fine but unless they are travelling solo they woukd be paying for a triple occupancy cabin.

You were lucky that Royal is making an exception and allowui=ing the transfer at all. Without the consent you are out of luck.

That won't work. It will fall off the booking, they are now tied directly to the guest

Since in over 40 cruises I have never seen a ship provide a magnet I just assumed they were talking about the walls

All Royal ships have metal walls that magnets will attach to.

The majority of deposits on Princess, Holland and Cunard are also refundable. Carnival has refundable options at a reasonable price

I'd rather a couch than one of those chairs.

There was excess capacity and there end up being a lot of quad cabins that didn't get booked to full capacity. I am very leery of booking anyone into a triple that is only available as a triple unless the third is a child.

Most of NCL's deposits are fully refundable

Royal has converted many rooms that were previously double occupancy into triple occupancy staterooms and they just make the couch into a bed. It does not pullout like a sofa bed.

That is correct. If you cancel outright at any time prior to final payment you lose the entire deposit. You may also change ship and sail date for a $100 per person penalty. As mentioned you also may have the option of paying more for a refundable deposit where you can cancel at any time up until final payment for a full refund. The refundable deposit can only be purchased for balconies and below. Suites, including Junior suites, are exclusively non refundable deposits.

go to guest services and they will issue you extra room keys. They may or may nor rearrange people in the proper cabin.

13160 - bed by bath 13560 - bed by balcony still follows the pattern

Utopia and Icon were released for sale earlier than the rest of the fleet and other than the Spectrum were really the introduction of the SJS to the North American Market. The bean counters changed their minds on the inclusions prior to the regular release of itineraries for the rest of OA and QN class and it was removed but since IC on UT had been released they grandfathered those 2 ships in. I totally agree that it should have been kept for all ships, especially with the premium they are paying. They could have even buried another couple hundred to the price to cover the cost and no one would have blinked an eye. Pretty shortsighted move IMO.

Itcwas fue to when the itineraries with the new cabin category were released. It was an after the fact cuttack in benefits.

Wifi is only included fur Sky Junior Suites on the Icon, utopia and Spectrum. It is nit included on the other ships where sky Jr suites were later rolled out.

Have you called your TA and asked them. As mentioned, obc that the agency is providing may not show up until dsy 2 on board. This is coming out of their commission so if you get price drops they get less commission and therefore they will likely offer less obc. There is other non promo obc that appears to cone from the TA that will show up in the cruise planner that could be affected by a reprice as well. The only way you will know for sure is to ask your TA and thry are the only one that will be able to tell you the source of the obc and whether it was affected by the price drop.

They are provided in cabins for cruises from the UK
