I just did it last week , I went from free Veranda to a move up bid to an Aqua Sky Suite Just a note though as other people where getting there offers I did not and I had to email them to ask if i could bid, They said yes and it took about 30 hours before I got my email offer

I am not sure its a hassle 🙂 I decided not to get a drinks package for my 12 cruise to Scandinavia as they wanted about $1900 for 2 people. Went with the pay as you go method so maybe bringing a 12 pack of coke I will see if its a hassle 🙂

I had no problem I got the card, Charged 1k paid the bill , Once my total said 26k points I hit the redeem button on the BoA Website, Which sent me to a cart added 26k to the shopping cart selected it and then added my cruise reservations number. about 6 or 7 days later I notched that I had $250 OBC to spend

I am not happy about this because I do like to order Bacon and eggs and eat on the balcony 🙂 when I booked the cruise it was free but know they added the charge. I think its a bit steep to be honest considering they will bring you pastry and coffee for free in the morning just slide on some bacon 🙂 lol

wow FYI i have zero balance on any credit card. I was just commenting that there is zero reason to pay it in advance, And I am not living pay check to pay check but thanks for being concerned 🙂

but it still get charged to the same credit card 🙂 give them $420 6 months before you go or pay it as you get off the ship 🙂

I don't understand the point of pre paid . Example if I pre - pay on the website for my 12 day cruise they say its $420 for 2 if I don't pre - pay and let them charge me $17.50 per person its still $420 there is no savings ? so why give them your money months before you leave ? I know all including is different so i am not comparing that

Hope it was really hot as on the Beyond in a suite all the hot food was not that hot .. maybe with less people ordering it will be hot .. bit for 10 dollars I will walk buffet 🙂

its a new ship everything it tight and not worn in . I was on it last year and yes during rough seas it was creaking like a new house expands and contracts 🙂 i think it will bed down after a while

I got a 12 day Scandinavian trip in May for just port fees and taxes. its a Balcony room. I did not get free drinks and I noticed on there blue chip page that if you have 100,000 points you get Classic free . I only have 39,000 points and drinks where not included. So perhaps your offers depend on your status. It does say i get 100 free play and digital picture package. It was offered to me as I was 3 days into a transatlantic crossing on the Beyond.

there is one in the back of the phone on the edge class

OK I am done - 2 hours and 47 min to connect and 3 minutes to get the order in 🙂 Phew

I did not get the call back option and yes why cant we do it online its silly you have to talk to a person .

I have it on speaker phone while I do other things .. but I am starting to get annoyed 🙂 I just want to pay for internet on the ship with the 25 percent discount 🙂

its really hard to be on hold for 2 hours now listing to them brag about all the awards they have won for customer service. they said 30 min wait time we are at 2 hours 😞

I got a free cruise from the Beyond when I was on the transatlantic crossing 12 Scandinavian trip next May I was wondering if Move offers will still work. The person at the future bookings desk said he thinks it might but was not sure Has anyone done this ? thanks

your right I done some price tracking they say a one day a cruise is 5k then a wonderful sale 75 percent off but the cruise is now 6,600k .. they change there pricing like the price of oil

I don't have the link with me but when my cruise went down I filled in a form sent it in they said yes it was now cheaper and they knocked $700 off my bill

I had no problems on an IV cabin on the APEX in the Greek islands it was great . I would lean out of them get the fresh air. feel the breeze and hear the ocean at night with the Window open. the room was so much bigger of useful space. I been on balconies where you have a deck above walls on either side. and a glass door behind you .. and a glass wall to lean over .. when you measure the actual open space between the walls above and the side its not that different . 🙂 but if you dont like them there are lots of other ships to go on .. Each to there own

I have not been on the Beyond but will be in 3 weeks but I did use VPN on the APEX and it worked fine so i would imagine that the faster Beyond should be fine

I got a winning bid on the Beyond Transatlantic leaving from Barcelona . from IV to Sky suite can in last Wednesday

they do have the right to control who comes into there country and they have made it that you must have a mandatory test if your on a cruise that is 4 days or longer 2 days before you get there .. what is a problem that on some transatlantic crossings and one that I am on the because of Bermuda we have to take a pay for a test 12 days before we reach the island. That's right 12 days. That is a meaning less test as well as that making all 3,000 people on the ship pay $44 even if they decide not to get off the ship. while making everyone on the ship take a covid test 2 days before the ship gets there .. once again even if you don't get off they could make it simple .. if you want to get off pay the 44 dollars and take the test 2 days before you get there ? what's wrong with that . ?

Bermuda - Keep your $40 fee, Keep your 2 day Covid test . but drop the Covid test for boarding for ships that leave longer than 4 days before arriving. I see no reason why a Transatlantic passenger leaving Barcelona has to test about 12 days before arriving in Bermuda ?

You gave me and educated guess not an explanation 🙂 but thanks for your thought . i am hoping that things will change 🙂

it would be 10 days before we get to Bermuda on the TA 8 days from Barcelona when we have to take the second test.. it would be like them asking you to take a test 8 days before a 7 day cruise to Bermuda from the east coast where you arrive at 2 days into the cruise. I am ok doing the self test i just don't see why we cant take a self test like all the other ships that don't go to Bermuda. 🙂
