Ken at the beach

If they have the blocks available on the ship then you have the choice. I have received 5 on board ships this year

There is nothing there other than a generic title page that looks as if it could have been created a year ago

And its already been pulled

FYI You can transfer the next cruise certificate over and book at regular rates. After that you can transfer it to the group and have it repriced to the group rate. The booking will still stay non refundable but you keep the next cruise OBC and of course the $200 you initially paid for the deposit although you will have to increase the deposit to the full deposit amount. Group bookings do not allow for the reduced deposit amounts and must be increased.

It's true

Booking a next cruise on board is no different than booking directly through Royal and follows the same published guidelines. They did not feel the need to specifically include the terms with the next cruise certificate.

You have 30 days to transfer the booking

Wow, she has been running me so ragged getting this, getting that doing this, that I haven't even had time to post an update on here. So far behind in this thread that I doubt I'll be able to catch up. Just kidding. She is actually doing amazing and will be returning back to work next week if all goes well at her Dr's appointment tomorrow. The last time she was there he said that she could start putting weight on it and after a couple days she was walking without crutches...just the air cast. She has actually felt guilty about taking the time off but there is a big difference between one or 2 thousand steps a day with lots of rest during the day and doing 10 to 12 thousand steps a day without a break and having to move at a quicker pace. Busy here having our backyard redone....just waiting for a dry day now for the polymeric sand and they are done. Photos once it's all complete.

Apparemntly its now Thursday the 20th...yet another change in the release. I would guess bookings will not open until the following week

There are several. Use the app and look at the different bar menus

100% capacity is based on double occupancy. Prior to the shutdown Royal was closer to 115% capacity

If your TA booked the cruise you are sailing on it will go directly to them. If you booked yourself then it will go to you and you can transfer it to them. I personally do not find the Next cruise certificates unless you are in a suite to be of value as they are non refundable and your TA most likely has cheaper refundable group rates with early booking OBC that offsets the Next cruise OBC.

Same answer as you received on our roll call yesterday

Drinks have increased and so have the amounts covered. Many posts sbout this including the D letters showing drinks up to $14 covered

It depends on what suite you are assigned. 99% of the time you will get a Junior Suite which really only gets you a bigger room. Double points and dinners at Coastsl Kitchen space permitting.

It's now 30 days but as stated above it cannot be transferred if paid in full.

Book with a fake 3rd name. Much easier. Name changes are easy and can be done up to 48 hours prior to sailing.

Wait times have greatly improved, unfortunately the new reps they hired to reduce the wait times wont have a clue what a Diamond is.

Mdr has breakfast every day. Just show up. Lunch is only on sea days. Again just show up. Hours will be on the app and in the compass

Take a taxi.

Last March Vikki and Toby to an Uber to meet me aboard Symphony, she put in the wrong terminal and then trying to communicate with the driver to get her to Terminal A using google translate.

I'll be sailing out of Galveston for the first time in just under a month. Heading down for Allures inaugural sailing.

Wow! On the bright side it could have been a lot worse. I guess nothing to do for the next week but sit and relax poolside.

You are missing that they booked under tje double points promo. Solo cruiser in a regular room get 2 points per night which would be 14 points. Because of the double points promo they get 28. There is no adding of points.

All 5 of my cruises since sailing has resumed have posted in 5 or 6 days
