When???? and more importantly, HOW???

C & A #. A couple prompts and was on hold. This was the same time you called. The hold time was 20 minutes which I couldn't do at that time. I called back at 11:15 and had a 5 minute wait.

We have had those twice. My granddaughter gets motion sickness in cars but this room did not bother her.

It worked for me.

no. Anything that can fall off is removed. I had to take everything out of my pockets and take off my rings. My mother's ring wouldn't come off and they got a supervisor to try and get it off. When he couldn't he decided it wouldn't fall off, no kidding

I was never asked to take rings off.

Our 3 cabins are already linked per RCL. I booked all 3 together. I know I have linked cabins before but can't figure it out right now. Any help?

I , for one do not participate in this program for the simple reason as i dont want a cabin under the pool deck . This would seriously impact my happiness, as the deck chairs get dragged around in the early hours of the morning.

I select my cabin and stick with it . 

 

Others dont mind getting less than desirable cabin locations though.

And i suspect they will most likely be the ones left over for the royal up program.

Although some may get lucky and snag a good location.

Good luck to you . 

 

We have won 4 Royal Up's, all from inside guarantees bidding minimum. We have never been under the pool deck.

My granddaughter always gets motion sickness in cars but has never on a cruise.

Taking my 15 year old's BFF.

Found the form online from Royal that the friend's parents must fill out and sign in front of a notary.

Is this all we need to travel?

Will this form from Royal also work at the airport when flying on United from Denver to Houston or do I need a different form for that?

you will need to also sign with notary

Just my curiosity, I never saw how late they actually were. Five minutes?, 2 Hours? It really doesn't matter, late is late. I was just curious.

Look. All the people saying "5:15 means 5:15"..... Even if the doors open at 5:15.... by the time the cattle call all go through the chute-- it's 5:30 anyway. So why not just wait until 5:30 and not deal with the flood of people?

It usually takes less than 5 minutes for everyone to go to their seat after the first day..

It does. Thanks. I have no need to gather outside the door. I’d rather take my time, enjoy my drink, and then just walk right to my table. 

Remember in most cases your tablemates will have to wait for you to arrive before they can start to be served.

Funny, I am just off the Allure and had no issues with MTD. I booked reservations 45 days out and I was promptly seated within 10 mins of showing up for my designated time.

Ten minutes would have been too long for me if I had a reservation.

Last cruise in January on the anthem both milk was served out of a pitcher

same on Freedom

I did a mock booking for a cruise I looked at 10 days ago. I was offered $150 onboard credit for an inside guarantee. The only problem was that the cruise price went up almost $200 a person.

When we switched cruises, we were not charged the change fee initially. And then at final payment, the change fee had been applied.

The only part of this that I’m confident about is that you would pay the higher deposit amount (10%) on the replacement cruise, assuming it will also be a suite.  Regarding the penalty for moving your cruise, the answer seems to be very inconsistent.  I’ve moved 2 cruises recently, and they were both handled completely differently.  Go figure.

 

On one of the cruises I moved, the entire deposit was moved to the new booking and the $200 penalty was added to the balance due of the new booking.  IOW, no money out of my pocket.  Since I had already paid a significant amount towards final payment of the “old” cruise, I actually received a refund as my replacement booking was less than the amount I had already paid towards the old booking.  This included the $200 penalty.  That new booking is now PIF. In a way I guess I did “pay” that change fee, as my refund was $200 less than it would have been. Tomato,, tomatto.

 

On the second transferred booking, the agent completely forgot about the $200 penalty, so the entire “old” deposit moved over to the new booking and nothing additional got charged.  Of course, final payment is a different amount than was the original booking, because the cruise fare is different,  but none of that difference was due to a transfer penalty.  I got very lucky with that one !

 

I have read of others who had to pay the [in your case, $300] penalty at the time of the transfer so there are lots of different outcomes from this maneuver.

 

I don’t think the fact that you’re rebooking with only 2 people will make any difference except for the obvious - difference in fares between the “old” and “new” bookings.  It will just be what it will be.

We were there on a small ship and there was also a large ship in port( I don't remember what ships). By 11 people couldn't find 2 chairs together anywhere near the water.

I have had pending on several occasions without getting the Royal Up.

We'd like to see RC got back to 6:PM and 8:30 PM TD and same times for MTD. We hate the later start time for MTD and not thrilled with the 5:30 start time for early TD. But we've gone back to early TD. We don't cruise on the huge ships. Freedom class is the biggest we've been on. 

We would love 5:30 or earlier for a start time. Some people like to eat early.

We are only D+ with about 200 pts. Our last 3 cruises we had the upgraded shampoo and conditioner.

* with the ship turning and coming back we wonder why the ambulances wouldn't already be there.

We were told in September, when we returned to port around 10pm instead of early the next morning, that the ambulances couldn't show up until the ship was docked. They said that is because they may be needed elsewhere. We were docked a good 30 minutes before they arrived. We had 2 non life threatening cases on board.

they also have them at least some of the beaches.

no

I don't think anyone entered our cabin (we were down a hallway  where there were only 6 cabins, but we had to call maintenance to come fix our toilet which hadn't flushed in over 4 hours. They said we didn't need to be there. I came back to the cabin about 2 hours later to find the door slightly open due to the deadbolt on. I figured they were still in the cabin working but there was no one in sight and the toilet had been fixed. Scary to think anyone could have come in our cabin because maintenance didn't close the door.
