5,000+ Club

5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. HAHA!! You will probably be able to find us at one of the bars onboard. The pub is our favourite on most of the Oasis class ships. Michael, Cory & Judy were part of our LCR group. I've just been reading earlier that someone on social media is trying to set up games of LCR for the sea days, so we may pop along and join them!!! I hope you won the radio competition, have a safe flight to Florida, and we'll see you onboard Oasis next Sunday. Margaret
  2. Hi Laurie Good to see you're onboard, we'll be joining you again.. I can get DH to sit and stare at you, if you wish, he does it to other people!!!! lol We're just travelling our own this trip, although we know others from other TA's onboard like yourself. Do remember Michael, Cory & Judy from our Jewel TA back in 2017, they're onboard too!! See you onboard on 21 April Margaret (& Ian)
  3. It might be to do with the taxes that are applicable in UK/ Europe
  4. Hi Joyhannah I think Steven621 was giving you a link to a transfer company, if you look above what you quoted. The gave the link to www.romeairporter.com We sailed from Rome last October, and used a company called www.sharedshuttle.it I also travel with a mobility scooter, and they could accommodate this. If you email them with your details to info@sharedshuttle.it they will contact you with a price. We paid 170 Euros for 2 adults with 2 large and 2 hand luggage cases and my scooter. It's about an hour to transfer from the Airport to Cruise Port. I hope this helps
  5. We've had problems with the app for previous cruises. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall the app on our phones, and it should resolve the issue. There may even be an update required too. We had an issue with the app whilst we were onboard one of our cruises. I could only see spending for my account, and not for DH (I am usually main account holder). Visited Guest Services they tried to rectify problem, and couldn't, then called IT Manager onboard, if we used her phone, I could log into my account and see all the info, but it still had the issue using my phone. She tried everything to correct the issue, we were there for over 3 hours, and still didn't get a solution. Later that day, on checking my app, it was all working fine!!!! The wonders of Royal IT systems. 😂
  6. We just got back from Odyssey TA on November 11th, and the North Star was free for most of the cruise. (15 nights). We did it a couple of times during the trip. So, maybe it depends on the sailing whether they decide to charge for it or not!!
  7. We sailed on Grandeur for 3 weeks (7 night & 14 night B2B) in February/March 2022,it sailed from Barbados around the ports of the Caribbean, and we had a great time. I can't do most of the 'fun' stuff, but we still enjoyed our 3 weeks onboard. The staff onboard at that time were the best, which also helped us to enjoy our trip. The ship doesn't have all the 'bells & whistles' like the bigger ships, but it does have character, and we just enjoy being on a ship in the sunshine, relaxing.
  8. Does anyone know if Ana Ribeiro will be on Odyssey for the Transatlantic at the end of October, or someone else will take over this sailing?

  10. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app. It's sometimes temperamental!!!
  11. check out the Miami Departure boards, you might get recommendations there. The Hampton Inn & Suites used to get good reviews (pre Covid) for staying before sailing from Miami. I don't know if they run a shuttle and/or parking, again there's still numerous hotels haven't restarted this service since restrictions have been lifted. Other areas that have been recommended previously are Brickell district, South Beach, and Biscayne Bay area. We sailed from Miami in March this year on a TA, it also happened to be Spring Break, and the prices of accommodation in Downtown Miami, was very expensive, so we stayed in the Doral area near the airport, and booked a taxi to take us and our friends (party of 9 in total) to the cruise port.
  12. We don't know how to use the machines in the casino either, but if you go to the Casino desk, they can give you a step by step instruction card of how to use your promotion $$, which also sets up your account. Once set up, transfer your OBC from your card to the machine, then cash out, and take the ticket to the cashier in the casino
  13. We were advised by the IT Manager on Grandeur over a year ago, that the Royal app is only designed to be used on smart phones, and not for use on IPads or tablets.
  14. We were on Wonder TA last April, and Symphony TA in March of this year, and had flights leaving Barcelona Airport at 11.10 (KLM flights). We also arranged our transport to the airport, through Royal Caribbean, (and the flights were booked through Air2Sea), We disembarked last April at 6.45, but this year we were later getting off. It was after 7am before we disembarked, there was a hold up somewhere. We still made it to the airport in time, but the airport was a lot busier in March, than what it had been last April, and it took us a while to check in at the check in desk. Security was slow too, but we still made our 11.10 flight on both occasions. Good luck in getting to the airport to catch your early flight
  15. The bit about being able to increase the price by 8% has always been in the contract, but I'm not sure about the rest of that clause, where it refers to fares could also be decreased in the same way The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and if expressly provided for in the contract, and in any event not later than 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveller may terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to a price increase, the traveller has a right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in the relevant costs
