What a wonderful idea! We don't want to rent a car, but I love the idea of lunch at a golf course as a way to force at least part of the drive. Thank you so much!

Radiance of the Seas will stop in Monterey on Sunday, May 7, 2023. My companion and I are looking for a small tour (or even an uber!) to drive the 17 mile drive and drop us off in Carmel. After a few hours, we'd want an uber to take us back to Monterey. So far, all we've found is tours from San Francisco. The ship excursion is a full size bus that costs $117 per person, which is a bit outside of our budget. Has anyone else had experience with a port stop in Monterey? Is it easy to pick up transportation near the port? Does anyone know of tour companies in the area that could put together a small group tour? Thanks for any help!

Whoops - spoke too soon! My credit card company gave me a permanent credit for one of the charges. As for the second charge, Royal refunded only half of it and my credit card company closed the dispute. So now I have applied to reopen that dispute, to get the other half back. I have a valid charge for $650, plus an additional charge of $325. My fear is that Royal will somehow cancel the valid one, so I will no longer have the drink package at the Black Friday price of $54.99.

Yes, I found a tab on my disputes page to report multiple charges for the same transaction. The card immediately took those charges off of my statement. A few weeks later, I got a letter saying that Royal Caribbean had also found the mistake and reversed the charges. It all worked out in the end.

I was hoping that was the case. But they moved from pending to full transactions yesterday. I'm glad it was an otherwise empty credit card. I don't mind carrying a $2000 balance for a few days, but I want it to be resolved before the payment date.

I took advantage of the Black Friday sale to buy a drink package, and was charged three times for it. I've seen other people on a different social media site saying the same thing happened to them. Has anyone learned how RC is going to handle this? Should I be contacting my credit card company, or do we think this will be resolved automatically?

Oasis of the Seas Deck 11 Stateroom 11916 Category 2T (inside with "promenade" view, though it looks onto Boardwalk, not promenade) Boardwalk view Quiet? If there is music playing in the music hall, we can hear it. It's quiet enough to talk over, but loud enough to be disruptive if you are trying to sleep. Connecting? no No balcony No wind No soot Problems? The curtains are an issue. The sheers are hooked to the black out curtains, so it's either all or nothing. Either the room is dark or wide open. Comments: Bring a clothespin or two so that you can keep the black out curtains open and clip the sheers closed. That way you will get sunlight and keep your privacy as boardwalk balconies can look right into the room. This room is right next to the card room, but there was no noise from that room, even though it was always packed during our voyage. The closet is small, and there is only one chair rather than a sofa. The room and bathroom are both smaller than in a balcony room. Perfect for solo traveler or two very tidy people.
