Not very, pretty sure any home bottling shrink wrap set up will help your friend pass inspection.

It's only JR on Oasis class ships that offer breakfast.

It makes no difference st all in what happens.

You can book with 3. Only if Roysl subsequently opens that booking to 2 passengers can you drop the third guest and get money back. This can actually be done after final payment date as yhere are different rules for 3rd and 4th guests. Third and 4th guests dropped from a reservation are rligible fir a full refund up until the final penalty phase which I'd 3p days prior to sailing. As Orville mentioned. Book this with relative under 12 and have them be a no show.

You do not need to nook a refundable ratecto add or remove passengers. The type of rate makes no difference.

Roysl does not offer suites at group rates. Also you cannot book refundable suite rates, that changed June 1, 2023. Diamond lounge is a good place to start.

Exactly.

The other thing that you get with holding back inventory is that better cabins come on the market later in the booking cycle. Instead of all the good ones being taken early on they are released gradually. This was readily apparent with the release of Utopia who by the way is the first ship using Royals new revenue management tool. When Utopia was release there were entire decks or sections of decks that were not available to book.

He is great about steering the topic away from the actual truth. Project Discovery (140,000 GT) has been underway for quite a while now. The Captains of the ships let more information out than he does.

Or since a few of us have told you exactly what was said why dont you do some research and find it yourself if you don't believe us.

They are holding back inventory to release later in tje booking cycle when prices are higher...pretty simple.

No, you would have to board in the Bahamas. To board in a different US port would be a PVSA violation.

As others mentioned EWR is by far closer

Wen I looked for cruise line transfers for a different ship they were only offered to EWR if that makes a difference

In order to hold actual cabins they need to have names and full deposits. TA's can only do that for 30 days. Other than that they hold space within the category and not actual cabin numbers.

How old is the video. I remember that they did some recategorizing of rooms on Q class and I think this was one of the rooms involved

Sky class

What category were you looking at? If it was a 4D balcony on Voyager class (where they have not added the new cabins on decks 11) there are literally less than 15 of these cabins on the ship and yes they do sell out quickly with only the least desirable ones left

Yes, in many cases TA's can see more but not necessarily all the cabins.

It's not a secret. The CEO came right out and said they are doing this on one of the recent earnings calls or interviews. They also hold back cabins to fulfil group obligations for group space blocked by TA's.

Picture of the home test with a piece of your photo ID in the same picture. That is all that I have had to send in. They understand that in the past 6 to 9 months it is next to impossible to get a lab test done for many.

Providing that you initially booked a cabin that held 3 or more guests then You should be able to add the third guest just by paying the third person fare without a reprice of the entire reservation. When there is 3 already in the room they will even price the 4th at the same rate that the third paid regardless of the current price.

True group rates are always refundable. Where some confusion lies is that a TA may book a person in a category that is not held in group space at a regular non refundable rate and move it into the group to get the benefts however it will still remain as non refundable but all double occupancy group rates are refundable

Guarantee rooms booked on Royals consumer site are non refundable. Travel agents may have refundable category specific guarantees when they continue to hold group space and Royal is no longer showing cabins available in that category
