MusiCruiser Posted January 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2009 We just got our documents for our upcoming cruise on the Monarch of the Seas. All of the information for the cruise is correct. HOWEVER, under "Air Arrangements", it seems that we have air reservations for March 22 at which time we will depart Quito, Ecuator at 8:30 am, arrive at Guayaquill, Ecuador at 9:05 am, depart there at 9:35 am, then arrive at Baltra, Galapagos at 10:15 am. Our return flight is scheduled for march 29, 2009.:confused: Now, the thing that confuses me is why would we want to fly from Ecuador to Galapagos, when we live in Pittsburgh and are cruising out of Port Canaveral? Then, as I turned the page of tour travel itinerary, I saw that we are booked on LAN Airllines, flight # 2631. Also, transportation has been arranged to take us to "The World".:eek:.........WOW! We must be very influential to rate a trip to "The World", since we have no idea of how this arrangement was made. Your guess is as good as mine. Any thoughts?

dmndlil Posted January 27, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sounds like a definite mistake. I would call RCCL right away! Did you book air thru RCCL or on your own! Check the amount you paid to make sure you weren't charged for that flight schedule! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports Dr Posted January 27, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2009 We got our documents too, and ours said the same thing. I called RCCL and they have no idea how that got on there..... told me to ignore it. But the lady did say the Galapagos Islands are beautful. We booked air on our own without transfers. We are on the AOS March 8, flying out of Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACJV Posted January 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Same thing happened to us. We are on the IOS in March, and we did our own air arrangements. I called RCCL and they seemed unconcerned. Oh well! Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlong1969 Posted January 27, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I also had the same strange air arrangements spelled out in by cruise docs for my upcoming Monarch sailing.... Was hoping I had won a bonus.... a free condo on the World... guess not, huh? Bummer.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusiCruiser Posted January 27, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Okay, I just got spoke with Chris, one of RCCL's Certified Vacation Planners. He had a good laugh at the story. He got in touch with Documentation. They said to trash these docs, and that they would provide me with a new corrected set. Oh darn! I was starting to consider the advantages of paid transportation to visit "The World" cruise ship. And Ecuador looked mighty inviting, what with the white stuff falling from the sky here in Pittsburgh.:( Maybe we should all be treated to an "all expenses paid" group cruise by RCCL to assist in coping with the trama that we have all experienced. The thought of going to Ecuador at this time of the year really raised my spirits, only to be dashed against the rocks by their vacation planners. Oh my, I think that I am going into depression. A free cruise would surely aid in eliminating that depression.;) How about it Royal Caribbean. Surely you don't want to see your loyal patrons suffer from any undue phychological trama. We're not asking for "The World" (pun intended!) Just a free 14 day cruise to help us cope with this heartbreaking dilema. LOL:D Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingnewyorkers Posted January 28, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We just got our documents for Brilliance in March and we too are going on the World Tour. I had no idea where we were going to. I knew it had to be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshee Posted January 28, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just called RCL...they told me not to worry and to just disregard that section since we did not book our Air with them. The Cruise Itinerary is correct in the Docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
