Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. This is more of a rant that I hope Royal would listen to one fine day. I had my heart set on going to an all inclusive beach resort-until I looked at the stingy, lame port schedule for our sailing: 7AM to 2PM. I do believe that Scrooge thought of that schedule. I'm bummed that it wouldn't be worth scrambling around in the early hours, especially since we like a leisurely breakfast on cruises. We both work full time, so the chance to have a relaxing day is a big part of what we treasure so much about cruises.Then worrying about getting back to the ship would before we could be featured in a pier runners YouTube video would kill all the feeling of really having a relaxing beach day. I'd have that worry even with a RC excursion since the time in port is so truncated. Is Royal Caribbean doing this because they are trying to sell more of their own excursions? Well, that's not going to work. I don't go on cruises to rush around and wake up when roosters do in order to get anything but a rushed/ripped off feeling with excursions. And shame on Royal for limiting what the shops and other hard working local tourism related business owners can make due to a skimpy port schedule. Just for that, Royal, I'm not buying a darn thing onboard that day or playing in the casino once we set sail that day. If more of us complained and stopped buying anything onboard on "Scrooge port days", maybe they would listen and let us get a REAL port day in Costa Maya to relax.
  2. Out of caution/parania,(and fear of God forbind my cruises being cancelled)-I sent my TA screen shots of two of the 3 cruises I booked that are showing as paid in full. Oddly, The 3rd cruise is still showing a balance, booked via a different agency.
  3. Yes- I had the same error message for the second time this month
  4. In used RC Visa for OBC well before final payment. After many tries wtih both RC and my TA, I wasn't able to get my fare discounted when there was a sale. I was able to spend the OBC onboard. Lessons learned- I won't apply RC points for OBC until a few weeks before the cruise.
  5. I was told that I couldn't get a price adjustment after I had put the OBC onto my reservation-This was from RC and my TA looked into it for quite some time. She's been really honest with me, and goes out of her way to help so I trust her confirmation of RC's answer.
  6. FYI once you apply the Visa's OBC, you can't get a price adjustment/ further discount applied per RC and my travel agent. I had it applied several months before the final payment date and learned the hard way.
  7. We had that $18 rate but they emailed us and cancelled the beverage package/refunded us.
  8. Yes, they are at once under-powered yet way too hot. I call those types the "Fisher-Price Singe & Fry" defective toy blow dryer.
  9. Hmmm, I am wondering about the availability of Playmakers on boarding day- and how hard it is to lug our carry-on rolling suitcase (several necessary items) into Playmakers? The Key used to be a good option but the price is soooo much higher than just the internet alone.
  10. Hello- I'm wondering if anyone has info on how firm the junior suite beds are on Wonder-granite slab or slightly torturous? I asked for a mattress topper via our travel agent, but I'm hoping that thye don't run out or forget. My husband and I both have back issues. TIA
  11. I'm in the category of people who prepare for almost anything a cruise can throw at us-almost. So we both grab a few Lysol wipes and wipe down the high touch areas: Door handles, remote, sink and shower handles etc. Then it's full on "Mamasita needs a margarita: time!!!!
  12. Hello- Has anyone sailed in WOTS #11242? Asking because I've booked that junior suite but I've been seeing more videos/comments where people said their cabin's A/C didn't work & they were hot for the whole cruise. My husband likes to have it fairly cold and I hope this isn't one of the "complimentary sauna" cabins...
  13. Thanks everyone. I stayed up until around 12:30AM and got an 11AM arrival time. My husband and I both waited to take our pictures until the next day. I wasn't able to use the good hair day selfie stored in my phone on the app, oh well:) I will be sure to double check our phone number on the website.
  14. Does the app (or website) allow you to check in at 12:01 AM on check in day 45 days before the cruise? Also, when you do the check in, does it allow you to use a profile picture that you already have saved on your phone?
