Provisioning issues ... again!
lovesthebeach2 replied to beachluver9's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Don’t be so hard on the OP.. the things that they mentioned are things that they should not be out of on day 2 of a 14 night cruise. It doesn’t make or break the trip, but for things that are used every day and you don’t have them after the first couple of days is annoying.- 25 replies

Reciprocal status Royal vs Celebrity
lovesthebeach2 replied to bigeagle12's topic in Royal Caribbean International
So that sounds something like what is offered in the D lounge with the addition of the drinks that aren’t on Royal? -
I too would be satisfied…..we have never received this compensation for a missed port, not that I expected any….the only time we received a credit for a day was on Wonder this past January when the ship was delayed returning and we ended up with a 6 day instead of 7 day cruise… and also note that those onboard were not charged for that extra day.

When the Pacific Princess - aka The Love Boat, spent its last year as a Princess ship doing NY to Bermuda cruises, we just had to go on it. It was so hard to get around just like what you said for Empress. On day 1, I saw from an upper deck a sun deck below that I liked and it took me the whole week to figure out how to get to it! I’m not kidding! It was so confusing and it was a small ship! Only 680 passengers on that cruise. So glad we did it, it was our all time favorite cruise, the cruise director was so good. I don’t know who she was but she was hilarious. And the food was absolutely delicious!!

I agree.. although earlier this year we were on Wonder that came in a day late because they had to drop off a sick person, which shortened our cruise by a day. And since it wasn’t supposed to be there that day, all the cars from that cruise hadn’t left yet and we and other cruisers on the Independence all were trying to park, but couldn’t because the lot was full. It was a nightmare, people were lined up all the way to the highway, which is where our friends got stuck…..for a long time. I know things like that don’t happen often, but…….. I agree with your time, we usually are out of the car by 10

New to Diamond - 4 Free Drinks in Coco Cay?
lovesthebeach2 replied to surfjock27's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We’ve also noticed this happening in the MDR. We think they “forgot” to charge our card but it got charged much later after the DR closed. They messed up our drinks to often, so we bring a drink with us when we go in now -
Sovereign was the first cruise ship we ever were on many many years ago. So I have a special place in my heart for it ❤️

I totally understand how you feel. Most here on this site have had the same experience at one time or another. We have lost plenty of ports for many different reasons over all the ships we’ve been on. We were on a transatlantic cruise just last year that someone got injured on day 2 and we had to turn around and drop them off, which caused us to lose a port that we were really looking forward to visiting. But we still had a wonderful time and you will too. Go and enjoy the ocean, to me that itself is a destination.

Compensation for Skipping Ports?
lovesthebeach2 replied to punkyhunky's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for explaining how it works…..I had no idea it’s so complicated. We have received small refunds for places we wouldn’t even get off the ship for, and other times places that we really, really wanted to visit we didn’t get refunds…..it never was an issue we just didn’t understand. Thanks Ken 😃 -
Compensation for Skipping Ports?
lovesthebeach2 replied to punkyhunky's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We’ve had ports missed and not received port charges back….it’s odd that sometimes they refund them and other times they don’t. -
Utopia of the Seas story in todays paper

Not sure where you stay when you come down, but last year we were doing a TA on Odyssey from FLL and we took the regular Amtrak train from Winter Haven down, since we would be flying back from Rome. Not that expensive and we just took Uber from the station. We own SSR but stay at BLT most of the time in the Disney area….. it’s on the monorail line 😉 But our overall favorite is Vero…..don’t tell anyone because it’s hard enough to get ressies there 😁 -

When I told my husband the price he said we’ll just drive. We don’t cruise much down there but have a cruise in Miami next year. I’m wondering why don’t you drive and park? Wouldn’t that be much less then $500? We don’t mind taking Amtrak down, we may look into that -

So I forget how to look up the history of the power up points I have. Can someone refresh my memory where I can see it? Thanks

I didn’t know how to add the ride from the house to the airport, I see you have to book the higher price train ride for that, but paying the higher price includes the house pickup or was there an additional cost??
