Nothing new. They've been doing this for close to the last 10 years

You will never see group rates that low again unless there is another global pandemic.. Those low group rates are for sailings through April of 2025 and were set in November of 2022 when the cruise line was still sailing at less than 100% capacity. The new croup rates set this year for sailings after April 2025 are double or more.

Send an e mail to rcldining@rccl.com and try that first. Ask if there is any way that you can clear the waitlist.

Just so no one gets confused both the Allure and Oasis have the Hibachi. It is located inside Izumi on deck 4

How much was the depost? You can move them to a different ship and sail date for a $100pp change fee which if your deposit is more that $200 it may be worth looking in to,

On Harmony for Central park Balconies there is no differentiation between rooms that hold 3 guests and rooms that hold 4, They are all category 1J and I show no Central park balconies that hold only 3 guests, they all hold 3 or 4. You should be able to add a person for the same price as guest 3 is paying. The connecting room has an * which indicates that it holds 4 guests.

Taxi is quickest and it's a flat rate. There is also the water taxi that is cheaper but takes longer.

That's a rarity, a studio cabin available but not a regular cabin. Did you try looking for a regular cabin by searching with 2 guests.?

I just wish they would bring back the tribute bands in the music halls.

if the price is that close book a regular cabin to get the double points

My experience as well and we get a 3 or 4 device with the kids. If I want to join it just boots them off.

I've ever had to do that. If i leave my laptop logged in I just log in on my phone and it boots my laptop off

What the agent described is correct. You can bring one bottle per person per cruise. They should have delivered the "held" bottle day 1 of your cruise.

I have never found a rep that will ever offer information about a specific cabin and whether it was booked or on hold.

Maybe they'll skip breakfast for 5 days and offer lunch instead. Seems like a simple solution.😇🤣

Give it a few days or a week and in all liklihood it will fix itself.

Save yourself a lot of headaches and get yourself a good TA to handle this for you. They may share some or all of the TC credit with you plus they are able to get access to the contracted group rates that are lower in price, offer additional OBC and deal with all of the headaches that usualy crop up anytime you get a group a group people booking. Don't forget that the TC credit does not include the taxes and it also does not include the non commissionable portion of the cruise fare which on average is about $225 per person for a 7 day sailing.

We were all set to check off that southern box as well. Too bad my daughter's school messed that plan up. I'm just glad that even though we didn't find out until September I was able to switch to the NYE sailing at great rates even of we did have to take gtys. Ended up after a couple of moves about 10 cabins apart and DW wasn't entirely happy but to pick your cabin was over 3 times the cost of the group guarantees. Still had a great time.

There are plenty of TA's out there that do not charge Admin fees...time to find a new TA. Royal will allow you to reprice your booking before final payment so your better off booking early as the price will likely just keep going up.

I had a conversation with the HD and he said that Miami got the message loud and clear on the feedback forms. He also said that a lot of the supply chain issues have also been worked out but he definitely was not blaming everything on that

LOL, we are not that fancy. DW loves the coolaid. Berringer White Zin for us. Just over $20 a bottle with the discount and the gratuity added.

The 3 night package also get you the 40%. We will use it to buy a bottle of wine at dinner. Cheaper doing that and saving our vouchers for other drinks

Ifly photos can't be used for the free D photos. They have to be purchased at ifly

We were just on the Odyssey over NYE and I found that the food had improved in the last 9 months. Much more variety in the WJ and better quality. While we did not eat in the dining room we had family that did and they said the same thing. Also had friends on board the Wonder over NYE and they agreed they had seen a improvement. Is it back to pre covid times, probably not but for me anyway it has improved post covid.

Just a guess but I wonder if he will be Royals version of Toto in the Wizard of Oz
