  1. I totally agree! My husband carries his diabetic meds in his carry on and it would be horrible if he accidentally left it somewhere and didn't get it back quickly or at all. I even put a Carnival luggage on my camera case.

     

     

     

    I probably go overboard (pun intended) and I put extra luggage tags inside all of our luggage checked and carry ons. If the tags get ripped off someone can still figure out who they belong to. On our last cruise about two days into our cruise the room strewards put a paper with a picture of some missing luggage in every room trying to locate it. I can’t imagine being without any of our luggage for more than 24 hours!

  2. I had ~ $95 credit from the 1st leg of a B2B. I asked at GS during the 2nd leg about the credit and said it would be mailed out (it was).

     

     

     

    When we did a B2B we had some credit left over and they gave us a check at the end of the 1st week. It was a while ago so maybe things have changed.

  3. Our February 2019 cruise on Glory was canceled too. So bummed because we had an amazing room for a great price. The itinerary was fabulous too. We are trying to figure out which cruise we will take instead. Seems like if they can book a cruise almost 2 years out, they should know what their schedule for maintenance or repositioning should be.

     

     

     

    What day in February? Is the 12 day journeys Feb 16 still on?

  4. One more "two cents worth" to consider. If you book your best choice room now under Past Guest, you can always downgrade later to a regular inside room (under whatever rate you choose at the time), or you can just cancel. As long as you do this all before your final payment time.

     

    The only reason I mention this is it used to be that if you booked way in advance you could catch good sales, etc. and better rates. From what I have seen in the last year or so, rates seem to climb higher and higher the closer you get and reductions are few and far between. So it may be better to lock in your "best choice" room now at the rate you can get for it now, and then switch to a lesser room later if you can't accommodate that fare. I think this could give you the best option of getting that best room you want at the best price.

     

     

     

    That sounds like pretty good advice!

  5. Have you considered booking now with the past guest rate and then later switching to the Early Saver rate? I have done that before. There was no charge for doing that. Of course you run the risk that the rates will go up but if they do you wouldn't be getting anything back under the Early Saver rate anyway. Anything could happen in a year and it is nice to be able to cancel and get a total refund.

     

     

     

    That's a good idea. If I have to cancel under past guest do I get a refund of my down payment or a future credit on a future sailing?

  6. Thanks! I was pretty sure the past guest rate would allow an upgrade I just wasn't sure about early saver without a penalty.

     

    I would like to book right now for a cruise about one year out, but I've had surgery with medical issues and have one more surgery planned in a few weeks. We've spent a ton of money even with insurance. I think we could afford it, but only time will tell.

     

    My other problem is I promised to my wife to finish a bathroom downstairs before we went on any more cruises and haven't gotten it done yet.

  7. I would like to book a cruise on the Splendor. All of the inside spa cabins are currently sold out. If we booked an early saver regular inside cabin now and an inside spa cabin opened up later would we be able to just pay the difference and upgrade or are we going to have to pay the $50 per person penalty?

     

    What if we didn't book early saver and just booked the past guest rate?

  8. no it's not just click the one way tab, nothing weird

     

     

     

    Yes I know how it's done, I've just never done it. Maybe I should of said its unusual instead of weird. Always round trip airfare for us! It's probably easier to do because one leg has nothing to do with the other. Are two one ways cheaper than a normal round trip?
