Face your fears head on..how does the glass change anything?  You still can’t get out if it stops…

Depends on the ship. The newer E class ships are more like RCI than not to me.

Sailed a good bit on both, I don’t get this take at all..

Posted with the last hour or two..3 added, I have 300 on the dot. 

Anyone have it?  TIA

Many us cell plans include Mexico..or offer a day pass in port, check with them assuming you have a cell phone..

Moral of the story is unless you are sure yours are correct, perhaps leave well enough alone as you share the benefits of your higher points.

I did more of the power up things than she did during the shutdown..if I get the 3 this month, I will have exactly 300..that said, we will still buy the drinks package etc..

Your advice is more than likely on point, leave well enough alone..I assume if we are booked together, our accounts are linked..is this correct?  
 

Sailing in September..

But if you are driving a car that you don't want to keep.......

Then it wouldn’t rain. 🙂

But how would I have known six months ago when I booked a flight for this weekend that Florida would have record rain and severe flooding? 🤨

You wouldn’t, but I always fly into FLL a day early for a cruise..

I can't see mine either, but I can smell it.

Same here, the smeller is the feller.

thanks. There are always options and choice is great.

To return to the situation with X my actions would be:

1) to complain to X setting out exactly why it was unfair. No ranting just examples.

2) make it clear that I would not book any more cruises as a solo until the situation was resolved.

3) confirm what price difference I would accept.

4) where the current prices worked in my favour I would book with a "friend" who would regrettably be a no show at check in. I do not regard this as cheating.

 

Re #2, I’m thinking your proposal would be acceptable to Celebrity

Cruise lines and land tour companies used to do exactly that. You could book at a sharing price and they would match you up with a companion. If they failed you got to have a room of your own at no extra cost. You had no choice over who you were matched with. Go back far enough and cruise ships/liners sold 4 berth cabins on the same basis. 

Colleges in the US do this now with dorm rooms..my Neice met her roommate for this fall yesterday..

How to tell is CC accounts are linked?  My Wife and I specifically..I have more points than she does..

Speaking of parking, when I drive to a port, I always park on the second level or higher in the parking deck when I park, due to heavy rain possibility. 

This isn’t the first time they have had heavy rain in Florida, I’m sure they will figure it out..

 I think the breakfast on the YC Pool Deck is open until 1000. 

 

That was by far my favorite place to eat breakfast..it saved me a few times after too late of a night. 🙂

I think the shower was added recently on the EQ Deck to give people a place to cool off.

When I booked with NCL the 'solo' room was a interior room with a 'virtual window' - sorry TV doesn't cut it for a window for me.

I don't know if it's changed but I did my booking last year and that's what they tried to sell me as a good solo room. 

I’ve seen you tube videos of them, not for me either, but I could the appeal to some, separate entrance to the area and a small solos lounge area..

If it were that simple, obviously, they wouldn't be building solo cabins & NCL would be out of business.  I don't think they are intentionally pushing the numbers - I think demand and automation is.  

Aren’t most of those tiny interior cabins?  A small percentage of the ship I’m sure..but they are different cruise lines, I don’t expect them all to operate exactly alike. 

Obviously, on average, two people roaming the ship spend more than 1 person..it is really that simple..I get it if you don’t like it, but they have ran the numbers for sure.

 I apologize  - you are correct. 

 

We will let it go this time.  🙂

 Interesting.  We still will not sail to CocoCay.  Not the type of atmosphere we enjoy on Celebrity.

Fascinating, this has nothing to do with the original query posted here..

But that’s not what they’re doing. They’ve set a market value where the cabin generates the same revenue regardless of occupancy. And apparently people are paying it or they’d price it differently. It would be nice and better optics if they’d find that revenue elsewhere, but if people (not you, clearly) pay, why would they?

Exactly

Simple answer for a simple example, but not apples to apples.

lets say you walked into a store to buy a widget. The sales person says “ are you married or single?” Most people, before answering the question, would ask why does it matter? “Because Sir, if you are married, we charge $50 each, $100 total, for you and your significant other, if you are single, we charge you $150 for one”

Is there anyone that would not be bothered by that? If that doesn’t bother you……

I would head back out the same door I came in.

You could show people a side by side comparison if All Included versus doing Cruise Only and purchasing drinks and WiFi a la carte with any associated discounts. The amount of people that still choose to spend more and book Cruise Only is very surprising. 

Math is hard for some folks..

Up front bundling is almost always better. If you are still outside of final payment, you may be able to reprice…always look at the big picture when repricing..
