cruisegirl1976 Posted August 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Ok.. so a couple times in the past week, I keep getting a phone call from a Ft. Lauderdale number, and I didn't answer it both times.. no message left.. so I did a reverse search of the number and a few people said it was Royal Caribbean calling. So why are they calling?, and should I call the number back?.. I have one cruise booked for next Feb. Any advice ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted August 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Could be anything. And before the new "Up bid" program...agents used to call to ask if you wanted to pay extra for an upgrade (needed your cabin location, etc.). They called my sister on one. Not sure they do that any longer now. Me, I have received calls from RCI as a "thanks for cruising with us"....PR call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molly361 Posted August 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Were on their website? I had been getting calls from a PVP from Royal a couple of times a week, mostly after checking prices on their site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you know who it is, if they call again...no worries to pick it up? At least you will solve the mystery of why they called. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Royal UP (pax bidding wildly to offer money to RCI 🤑) most definitely killed the sweet upgrade fairy (the freebie one) as well.

Lady Hudson Posted August 1, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I got a call once asking me to change cabins to accommodate a family with minor children. Actually I missed the call but got a voice mail. Offered me $150 OBC. I said “Sure!” Might be good to answer the call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
