    I called an switched an August 2020 Harmony sailing to a Symphony 2021 sailing. 

    I am looking to do the same. Have an 8D balcony on Harmony and want to switch to Symphony. For 2021 there are no longer any 8D's  on Symphony they will be re-categorized to  4D. Should that be a problem?

    I had sent Royal an e mail and received a response a couple of days ago.  That does certainly seem odd with the schedule that is posted on the bands website but I suppose that the band could meet up with the ship in San Juan. 

     

    Hello Ken,
     
    Thank you for your email. We apologize for the delay in our response.
     
    The following entertainment is currently scheduled for the December 22, 2019 sailing of the Oasis of the Seas:
     
    Music Hall L.A.Vation
    Headliner Ronn Lucas Ventriloquist

    I guess L.A.Vation will be joining us in a port as I just received confirmation from Royal:

    I am happy to advise that the tribute band L.A.Vation is currently scheduled to be playing for your sailing. While all entertainment is subject to changed based on entertainer availability, they will be joined by comedians Don Grey and Rodney Johnson, ventriloquist Ronn Lucas, and ice star Sergii Shcherbinin as entertainers for your time onboard in addition to our larger productions.

    My family is on the 12/22 sailing. Ken, did you get this info from the cruise line? I have been searching tribute bands on the web to see who would be playing and sent Royal an email but have not received a reply. On the L.A.Vation website it says they are in the Netherlands on 12/23, so they would have to meet the ship in a port after that? I am a part time rock musician, and unfortunately for me, U2 is not one of my favorite bands😊.

  5. Looks like it is reopened.

    From their website:

  6. Well, if Ds get kicked out of the DL, then all those folks will be doing their meetings somewhere else - RCI would be doing them a favor and forcing them to mingle outside of the DL.:cool:

    While the DL is a nice place to meet new people, the wife and I go for some high quality cocktails before dinner :D. The pours in the DL are much more generous than the measured shots at the other bars that the vouchers provide.

    We enjoy meeting interesting people all over the ship, not just in the DL. In fact we made some friends on our last cruise at the muster drill and hung out alot that week.

  7. Unfortunately we can only cruise in the peak season. An August 2014 balcony on Explorer would cost $3650. The same cruise on Liberty would be $5500 almost 2k more. Our balcony on Allure this Summer was $2700 two nights shorter, but also a higher category.

    If we were to sail on Adventure out of San Juan in August 2015 the price drops to $1700 for a balcony ($3800 difference) and we could get a Grand Suite for $3100. I realize the cruise is 2 nights shorter, but that is a drastic price difference leaving plenty of money for flights and a hotel. Unfortunately we have found that many times it is less costly to fly then sail out of Bayonne.

    We do prefer the 9 night cruises by far, and were looking forward to sail from Bayonne in August 2015 for our 30th Anniversary, but $5500 is a joke.

  8. At last it has been revealed when new information will be released.

     

    An invitation has been sent out to Pinnacle Members to join Royal at a Reveal Event to be held in New York on Wed 26th March :D

     

    So at least we now know when we will all get more information about more "Firsts" :D

     

     

     

    .

     

    Thanks for the info. We are looking forward to some news and also hope to book a sailing for the summer of 2015.
