They have a jewelry show(s) for their guests in a conference room.

My TA has always told me if one person gets a drink package the other has to have the equivalent package. Other than a minor being in the room. Is one allowed to have refreshment and the other alcohol?

We have bought some jewelry on board previous cruises. We have been offered a complimentary balcony room for a 7 night cruise courtesy of effy that we can use. Has anyone ever taken them up on this offer? Do they pressure you at the shows to buy more of their jewelry? We’ve never had anything smaller than a junior suite. Is there a way to upgrade to a suite by paying extra? thanks

You should book your flights through your TA. They will tie them to the cruise ship (just a real small increase in airfare price) and then the cruise line is responsible for getting you to the ship if your flights are cancelled.

We had ovation star class in Alaska 3 years ago. Wendy was our Genie she was amazing. We tipped her $500. We are not high maintenance and didn’t utilize her like others might. We didn’t ask for anything special while we were on the ship.

My daughter lived at the kids club when she was younger (13 now). We couldn't drag her away she loved every minute of it. Lot's of times the staff will take the kids too lunch and they all will sit together in the WJ. They do offer later hours if they want to stay and it is relatively cheap. Covid might of changed things but they seemed to offer most of the day that your kid could be there.

Yes except for the star class.

I would do that but there isn't an extra person available.

may have to have them assigned and then try adding to star class since I already paid for it. Not sure why you cantt just have extra cabins on board.

definitely before 3/22. Would you bother calling or do this at the cruise terminal. What I want is the star class card with access to the JS on it. He has no need to access our suite. Thanks

according to my TA there is no refund or cruise credit available. Honestly I don't care about the cost I would rather be able to utilize the room for my guest and so would he.

That's why I utilize a TA makes it so much more hassle free and they handle everything. Win win for all involved.

I booked several rooms for an upcoming cruise 2 balconies, 2 star class, one inside cabin and one junior suite. I booked (paid for) the junior suite for a family member that most likely will not be attending. I have another adult attached to my Star Class suite that I would I like to utilize the room. I could just put him on the room but then he would lose out on the star class perks (it only cost $500 to add him to my room). Since the junior suite is paid for and non-refundable I want to put him in that room. The TA said just to let them know when we check in (in about a week) and they may or may not let it be utilized. Anyone have any suggestions or run into in the past? I thought of calling RC and talking to them but my TA thought that might be pointless since those on the phone really don't have a say once you arrive at the port for boarding? Thanks '

We are going to Alaska in May out of Seattle and I was able to get a royal up for my sister and her husband from a junior suite to a grand loft suite (star class) for $6k minus their drink packages and internet and tips a pretty sweet deal. I have a few more upgrades in for other family members but those are upgrades to balcony suites and those will probably not be decided till the day before or the day of the cruise.

Don't worry by next year the massive recession/ depression is going to hit this country and prices are going to plummet and they will be begging people to book.
