  1. I saw that, wonder if it's Canadian price. I'm looking at cruise planner now and it's showing $250 beach/$350 OTW. Or maybe it's for a Holiday sailing.

     

    Hi Folks, I'm the one that posted that Nellie OTW $495 post in the other thread. I'm in NC and that price shows in my Apr2016 Oasis Cruise Planner (just saw it last night).

  2. Folks, the replies in this post are all over the place. The original question was whether the OP should be upset that RCI didn't highlight the Cozumel "MoneyBack" program.

     

    IMHO: no.

     

    I was on a RCI cruise in Jun'13 that stopped in Cozumel and at that time RCI was highlighting the MoneyBack program (it was 6% back of purchase price, to be refunded in 45days). I bought an expensive men's watch at Diamonds International (one of RCI "recommended vendors"). I negotiated a great price with the store manager. The RCI Port Shopping Desk Manager happen to also be in DI when I was finalizing my purchase and he reminded me of the MoneyBack Program 6%...which the Store Manager agreed would apply to my purchase.

     

    I can't tell you how pleased I was with my new watch and more importantly, the purchase price AND anticipated tax refund. Well 45days became 60, then 90, then 120days...no refund. I sent monthly emails to the RCI Port Shopping Manager (and DI) complaining. I considered the refund as part of my negotiated purchase price. In my emails, I suggested that RCI should not highlight a refund program (associated with their recommended Cozumel vendors) that they (RCI) have no control over.

     

    Long story short: I finally DID receive my 6% refund...6months after-the-fact. I think RCI learned their lesson and now, no longer highlights this MoneyBack Program.

    BTW, the purchase price was $1000s less than local US jeweler price and more so with the refund...!!

  3. Hi, I'm relatively new to this blog, so please excuse if this has already been discussed. I've been looking at the layout of the Quantum/Anthem and wonder whether anyone has any reaction/comments about the Concierge Club being located at the rear of deck twelve with no nearby elevators. I'm sure the aft views from it will be great, but to access it, quests will need to proceed from mid-ship elevators and walk (a fair distance) pass many quests cabins to access the CC. I've been on several other RCI ships, where to the CC was near elevators. I would think that those deck twelve passageways might get pretty congested at times. Any thoughts?
