Does this “ritual” happen on east bound? Doing that one in October. Looks like it would be fun!

How old is she?  If she’s under 18, you should be able to sign her up under you and be able to match her with your Diamond status, but do it tonight over the phone, don’t wait.  If she’s over 18, then you are too late.

Yes, dodgestang.  A hand pay, where they come to the machine with cash.  You can’t get a printed ticket.  Guess I’ll ask the Host next week.

OT, but I don’t know where to look.  I know some people use their spouse’s card in the machines from time to time.  If you should hit a hand pay, do they give the money to you, or do you have to track down your spouse?  TIA

How do you follow your Royal Up bids, to increase or cancel?

Thanks,

Melanie

I got mine yesterday. The email said “Here is your cruise receipt”.  I hadn’t booked another cruise, so I opened it. Serenade, January 15.  I had a regular ocean view balcony on Rhapsody.  They gave me a center aft balcony on Serenade!

Thanks!

Where do you find the status of your Royal Up bid?

Still not discriminatory. It’s a choice. Cruise vaccinated, without having to wear a mask, or, cruise wearing a mask. Your choice. No one is forcing you to cruise, nor preventing it.

I really like this idea!  I do not believe it is discriminatory at all.  If you are black, white or Asian, you have no control over that. You can’t choose or change that.  If you choose to be vaccinated or not, that is your choice.  I am all about choices. I am vaccinated and I am ready to cruise, whatever it takes.

I got in, from my phone.  Unfortunately, they didn’t lower the drink package! I don’t understand why, I could access my Planner on the other cruises, just not my July one.

Thank you. That’s what it said and I did try later, but I’ll keep trying. Hopefully they are lowering prices!!

I have several cruises booked, May, July, September and November. I can access the Cruise Planner for all but July (Mariner out of PC), and it says my reservation is locked. It shows up, but won’t let me go to the Cruise Planner. ???

If you don't have to take a Royal excursion, I would opt for Barbados for snorkeling, and take a catamaran to swim with the turtles, then they take you to a wreck or two that you snorkel over, lunch and open bar included for $125.00 to $150.00 per person.  We used Calypso (twice!).  St. Lucia we did a land/boat tour, and Antigua, a private land tour.

We slept 5 in a JR S on Brilliance with no problem. Our 7 year old granddaughter, our two adult daughters and my husband and I. We had the bed, pullout couch and a roll away. We still had enough room. The walk in closet was the changing room.  I would not hesitate it now, with the same people, even tho my granddaughter is almost 12.  I guess it depends how familiar you are with everyone.

Been on the hump on each ship of that class. In my opinion, MUCH better than a forward balcony. I would be making a phone call ASAP.

Thank you, Sunshine! Checked my Casino Royale offers, and besides my annual free sailing, I had two free balcony offers.  One expires tomorrow, so I called this morning, got right to an agent, no waiting. Upgraded regular ocean view balcony to a deluxe and was able to get an aft balcony on the Brilliance in April for $98.00 per person. Upgraded from Central Park to Boardwalk, and got the last cabin on the end (so I can see the water), on Allure in May for $71.00 per person! Happy cruiser here!  Keeping my fingers crossed that these will sail!

I am Prime.  I play slots and Roulette. I bring $100.00 for each night of the cruise. If I loose that $100, I leave the Casino. If I don’t lose it, I keep going until closing. Next day, I show up with my $100, and so on and so on. I generally get off the ship with more money than I came with!  My largest win was the first night on a 4 night cruise, $2,500 on slots. Next night, went in with my $100, and started over.

Juggie, from Juggie’s Place in St. Maartin, posted a photo on his Facebook page of Independence docked this am. First cruise ship in months, either disembarking employees, or re-stocking?

My offer was an ocean view balcony with $200 free play. Booked the Harmony for November. I am Prime and have been since the first year the new program started.

Kruzinkel, thank you!

I got this offer. Called 3 different Casino Royale numbers, twice. (888-859-0015, 866-578-3667 & 866-213-3116).  After the hold, the phone rings once, then the line goes dead. Tried to book through the website, entered the information, pushed “submit” and it goes to an almost blank page with only the word “successful” on it. No place to enter my credit card number for the port fees and taxes. Any more phone numbers, or suggestions?

My husband and I, our two adult daughters, and 5 year old granddaughter, stayed in an aft JS on Brilliance. We honestly were not too crowded. My daughter and her daughter slept on the sofa bed, my other daughter slept on a roll away, and we used the walk in closet to change. NO one complained at all, even my husband who was stuck with 4 females in the same cabin for 5 nights! It was a wonderful family cruise! Now, had we been quarantined, it might have had a different outcome.

If they don’t know, they probably didn’t receive their first crystal block.

Regarding the CL’s, I just got off Brilliance last week. Was welcomed into the CL several times during the cruise as a Diamond Plus. No problems. So, it is not (yet) fleet wide.
