Voom is a marketing term RCI uses for internet service - Starlink is the service provider. All apps, including Zoom or Google Meet, should work.

RCI has been expanding itineraries for Spectrum and will continue to do so. She has her own schedule for posting new itineraries and things could change.

The Voom package on board is $23-25/day for the Stream tier - about $5/day less on ships which still have Surf. The cost in the planner pre-cruise varies but 10-30% off those prices.

Posters like @brillohead can tell you how you can get just about anything you want, regardless of what the menu says.

Welcome to CC. Cruisedeckplans or a search engine image search might have some.

Usually no further out than about 6 hours before boarding.

Again, age or consumption pattern probably has little to do why RCI has set up their policy that way - it is a way to generate revenue.

It probably depends on the vehicle but usually on by default- you might be able to disable it. When the vehicle senses you want to go (accelerator action) it disengages.

When you take your foot off the brake the car doesn’t automatically start rolling - a feature invented a long time ago for cars with a manual transmissions to stop you from rolling backwards when on a hill.

And you can make that opinion very clear in the after cruise survey.

That varies by ship/date.

Yes, but that has little to do with the age of the customers.

You might be able to get it day two, but maybe not much later.

No. Wait for the sailing to make it on the GGG flier about 3 months out. Also, don’t limit your search to solo as you may miss better GTY rates.

Yes.

Accept the fact that RCI has IT issues and hope it doesn’t happen again. And, yes, cancellations like that have been reported by others. You/TA should have asked for some OBC for the issue and conversion losses.

You are likely a small minority.

It probably depends on whether the excursion vendors offer the same thing on the new dates. Any stops which were dropped will have the excursions cancelled.

It gets more accurate/complete closer to sailing. Even on board it could be off sometimes.

The app should show that - look at the closest in similar sailing.

The main RCI page here at CC has a drop down with the ships listed - choose Jewel on that to see the threads related to her.

That has been that way for a while and not related to the new menu. It will correct itself once on board.

One Year Later, Here’s What Happened to Genting Cruise Lines’ Ships - Cruise Industry News | Cruise News

Perhaps RCI doesn't want to make this, or some other things, too easy.

That probably varies by ship and number of eligible D+ and pins on that sailing.
