Only allowed to book it once per cruise.

I was on Ovation 2 weeks ago and the free slots all opened on the first day. Book as soon as you can as they sell out fast. On port days it was only when the ship was docked that it was free, once they started to sail they started to charge

Sailings only disappeared temporarily. Everything is back now and has been for a couple of days

Unknown. said they were still waiting on parts due to supply chain issues

Invoices are turned off and are all in queue until all the changes are done

My guess is that this still ahs to do with the engine repairs that are being done during the month of August. She had to alter many of her itineraries as one engine will be offline so she will be travelling at a reduced speed. There was a separate thread about this a while back.

Technically everyone that turns diamond is in that same (very full) boat.

You have to wait until you are on the ship or in the terminal connected to ships wifi and you book through the app. No more pre booking since Covid

If they are getting married then just call C&A and have them linked as their significant other. marriage is not a requirement. She will then be able to share the perks and join him in the lounge

That is correct

Should show in the cruise planner and app although I found my clients by pulling up their booking on Cruising Power

That's in Canadian but if you divide by 1.34 you get $70.28 so I would say $70 +/- $1

They just started the moves from BR to EN this morning and that happened before the VY changes

It is a multi step process. The price being protected is the last step. There can be days between each step

They took away the ability to pick preferences online long before we had supply chain issues

No to all your questions

1. Royal stopped testing B2B cruisers about 3 months ago. No mention has been made of restarting that process. 2. Just let guest services know on your first cruise sltjough they should already know. 3. There us a dpecizm process. You do not take your luggage off. It either stays in your room or gets moved to your new room. Details on meeting times and procedures will be delivered to your stateroom during yje first cruise.

What ship and date. I can see it on Cruising power for some ofvyhr drips.

Royal no longer allows downlining and this is very similar. I would be surprised if they allowed this.

My daughter is turning 21 this fall and our Christmas sailing will be her first where she can "officially" drink😉 All she wanted was the beverage package as her 4 for Diamond were not enough🙄. Looks like I will use her 4 plus my 5. Should be a good cruise...

It's only people on here that refer to them as that. Royal just calls them consecutive cruises whether they are on the same ship or not.

Our FB group for our Ovation cruise 2 weeks ago had lots of people posting that they tested positive after the cruise. Many said that they never took elevators, sanitized their rooms, did not go to crowded shows, wore masks whenever in a public area etc, etc yet they still caught it. Us, we all tested negative after the cruise and did not do anything different than we did when we cruised in 2019. If the virus is going to find you it will.

Not sure about the prorating as I have not experienced that. Yes groups still get the full commission if it is cancelled in the 100% penalty phase. It has nothing to do with when the commission is actually paid. It actually makes sense with the group not being paid until after they sail as there is a secondary part of the commission (tour conductor credit) that cannot be calculated until the guests actually sail.

May 26 and 27 are indeed Athens

Like everything Royal there is no one set answer. For FIT bookings (Free independent traveler) the commission is paid when the booking is paid in full. If the guest cancels during a penalty phase the commission will be recalled unless it is in 100% penalty then the commission is protected. If the booking is in a group then the commission is paid when the group sails. If the TA works for an agency then that agency may dictate when the agents portion of the commission is paid to the agent.
