Can you still apply 2 fccs to a booking?

Unfortunately i believe even when you use it prior to the final payment date it is considered redeemed. I guess i'll find out though. Its ok as the cruise i'm looking at is next june.

Thanks for this information. I'm cancelling the exact cruise i think - the pacific coastal.

When you get your fcc is the expiry the date you cancel or the date of the cruise sail date. While i think i didn't technically redeem my fcc as i didn't pay final payment they are still telling me on the phone it would be a year but i am unclear a year from what. They don't always know what they are talking about so looking for re world experience.

Sneaky. I noticed what they did with this promo code is increase the refundable deposit by 20.00. Thanks though as it did take something off.

Thanks. I found it. I don’t think i would have found it otherwise. It said welcome was applied but it didn’t work.

Thanks, I was just going to try the new email sign up code. Too bad welcome doesn’t work. I saw that one.

I didn’t see where you enter promo code online although i haven’t entered credit card details. Is there any advantage to booking on the phone vs. online? I have booked over the phone in the past.

Thanks everyone. I was disappointed serenade of the seas wasn’t cruising to alaska next year so wondered about enchantment. It sounds good, other than old which i knew.

Thanks for sharing that link. Sounds like he had a good time. Thanks for sharing your review.

Looking to go to alaska next year. I know the ship is old, but i’m wondering if viewing decks are ok to see scenery? Also i hear the food is good. Is that correct?

My pacific coastal cruise goes to victoria, astoria, sanfrancisco and catalina island. So cold part is on the way to san francisco.

Thanks for this. It is nice izumi is cheaper and i’ve heard chops lunch is good value.

I also would be surprised if all the sushi restaurants follow the rules when they describe their sushi as fresh but i guess that is a bad thing. In any event, no one has really commented whether Izumi or Giovanni is better.

Thanks, I always thought it was fresh. I still think some of the good sushi restaurants have fresher sushi than that on izumi. (ie not frozen as long)

Thanks. In Canada (Vancouver at least) i'm almost positive it doesn't have to be frozen first before serving so that's interesting.

May i ask where the new cruise planner is? I hope wait staff know if you've paid the gratuity. I don't like the situation where some have paid in advance and some haven't.

OK I may go for Giovanni's instead. With 15% off i feel i should book and i can always cancel later. At least i save the tip!

I just wanted to add i got 15% off individual restaurants for my may 21st enchantment of the seas booking which i understand is pretty rare. I booked chops lunch and i may book a dinner as it sound easy to cancel if i choose.

No it doesn't seem fair you'd have to tip on top of that. I believe what it gives online is a 15% tip.

The other thing i noticed when i booked chops lunch is they automatically add the gratuity. Does this mean i have to add another gratuity on top of that at the restaurant? Also i found that if you cancel within 24 hours you're charged 10 US.

Also how early can you make specialty restaurant reservations because my preference would be 5:00 just as the cruise leaves port.

I have a few questions about specialty restaurants. First can you book them same day on the cruise. I am on a pacific coastal and concerned it will be rough and prefer not to book a day to eat when it is rough. Or to add, how late can you make a cancellation? Also, wonder how good the sushi tastes on izumi when it must be frozen? Or would it be better to book it a port day when they bring in the sushi. Which would people recommend izumi or giovanni? One thing i'm thinking of doing is doing the chops lunch and izumi since that would be the cheaper option. On the other hand, someone mentioned the steak at giovanni is better than chops so could do dinner at giovannis and izumi. Thanks for your help.

Thanks again everyone for responding. I’m on a pacific coastal so my only hope is its nice enough to be outside.

Just a note to check your invoice very carefully after they make change to the booking. I've also had problems with taxes and once had a change fee added inappropriately.
