No bonus for agent. Commission isn't paid until after cruise.....just like real estate.....paid after sale of property

Even 6 months is to long

Wow, thats crazy. I'd never pay that kind of money a year in advance. Better have good travel insurance.

My Avalon final payment is beginning of April for a July cruise.........

Such sad news. I really enjoyed my Cuba Cruise. They were a top notch product. Great service and a awesome way to see the ""real Cuba"'

I'm not sure why everyone is saying that the Royal is to big for Alaska??? I think it would be a great ship. About time we got a new ship on the west coast.

this cruise is on my "bucket list"

What a great review. I really enjoyed all the pictures and advice.

I have friends going on this ship in July, so I can tell them it's great.

I do have a question about the dinner menu........... I noticed that most of your pictures didn't show many vegetables with the main course??? I love my veggies, so do you have to order them separately?

Thinking of booking that next year as a "family" cruise.

yes, the ships aren't sailing full. My cruise 2 wks ago had less than 400 passengers

Its the regal not Island.

Tour that went to Dunn River Falls all came down with it.

I just got home from the Cuba cruise from Havana. I have to say that I was very impressed with the cruise. The staff were beyond great. So happy and personable. Loved talking to them. The ship is spotless. I have never been on a cruise ship that was so clean. They were polishing, vacuuming and the washrooms were spotless.

Food was very good. We ate in the buffet for breakfast and lunch. Main dining room for dinner, where again the service was fantastic.

Tours were very informative. Would like more time in Havana. We flew in from Vancouver so didn't get to ship until around 9pm and missed the first day there.

Lots going on during sea days.

Very small pool and no lounge chairs around it, they are all a deck above .

My only complaint and it's not really a complaint is that the cabins are very, very small and the TV selection is almost none.

It was a fantastic cruise, and I'd go again in a heartbeat.

I think they are cancelling cruises as they aren't anywhere near full. The cruise before us only had around 200 passenger and last week they had around 350. The ship holds 1200, with a crew of 460... so unless they can fill it up I can see it not returning to Cuba which is a shame.

All the Americans I talked to enjoyed the "people to people" program. I heard very few complaints.

I'd be happy to answer any questions and I have the daily programs.

The drink pkg was great, was very happy with all selections.

It's been many years that I've come home from a cruise with a "zero" balance:D

leaving next week on a 7 day cuba cruise out of Havana. Was wondering if there are any formal nights?

You'll be fine with 3 in the cabin. The layout of those cabins are very good.......lots of room.

The bunk will come down from the ceiling at night for sleeping and then put back up during the day.

The British Isle cruise is so port intensive you'll hardly be in your room.

We were up by 6:30 everyday and not back to cabin till after sailaway.

It's a great cruise.....enjoy

any pictures of YC...18014 It states sleeps 5......... ????

Not this close to sailing. I think your best bet is to take his advice and go anyway.

Are you doing Havana/ Cienfuegos/ Santiago ? If so, i suggest you do the private land tour with Yuri. Best guide we ever met ! For the rest , just enjoy this beautiful culturally rich place :)

Yes, can hardly wait. So looking forward to this cruise. Our excursions are included. Does he have a website?

call princess and ask

I got off the Royal Nov 15th and I thought the food was excellent. Some of the best I've had on a cruise.

I never use salt and I didn't find the food over salty........... but saying that my feet did swell up awful !!

I really tried to not eat salty food.

This is why cruise lines are going for "non-refundable" deposits. People just book cabins early knowing that they can cancel closer to final payment, or put cabins on courtesy holds .

It makes booking anything almost impossible. You just can't convince me that a ship is totally sold out for 2019 already............ there will be lots of movement next yr.

The prices for 2019 are crazy high, as are the deposits............( unless you have a FCC)

I'm going to wait to see what happens.

Voice of the Ocean was on the Royal in November 5-15th
