I just checked for a couples massage with 90 gratuities was 538 on a sea day. When the website says 348. Every day has different pricing, website is deceiving for sure.

Question, was there a 70's party at all/Disco party?

Our group purchased the 5 dining plan with the show. My question is do we "have" to go to the sushi and taco place for dinner OR could we uses them for lunch and still go to the MDR those nights?

Does anyone have the dailies for the 7-day NYC, Port Canaveral, Nassau cruise?

Got the Royal Up email 75 days out.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO BID: Make sure if you bid you have the money available when/if you are upgraded. It happened to me. Got an email stating we accepted your bid but unfortunately were unable to charge the card on file please call....... IT WAS LESS than an hour after I was calling the number on that email, I literally was told sorry. I must have spoken to 10 different people over the next 6-10 hours but did end up getting it handled in the end. My point is, to make sure if you really want the upgrade ensure the amount you bid, that funds are available. I know life happens but use an account or a card you set aside just for this occasion as it will save you the disappointment and frustration I dealt with.

When I log in to RCL and put in reservation information for royal up it says "are you within 30 days" Now granted I have a suite GTY (aka JS lol) but have gotten emails to do royal up on prior cruises when I did NOT have the GTY room and well before the 30 days so curious as to why this error message. YES, I went with a big box TA (CC) should I just call them and ask or is there a dept at Royal that handles the Royal Up process I could call?

That is for 12 yes 12 bottles here is the "case"

Went to go add a case of water to my room, mind you depending on sale/no sale at local grocery store can be 3.99-5.99 for the case. Royal is charging with tax and gratuity 64.00 for a case of water? I am literally dumbfounded right now. Wasn't it just like 22 bucks a few months ago?

I meant a safe hotel to stay at pre-cruise with secure/safe parking, we will be parking at the port for the actual cruise. I am looking for hotel recommendations for the night before.

Does anyone have any experience with this port? Need to find hotels that are safe and won't get our car broken into, close or do-able proximity to the Brooklyn Cruise Port location. Prefer free breakfast if possible?

Thank you for all your input!!!!

Family all booked, I am a straggler, as I've never cruised MSC before. In doing a YouTube walk through I felt like it compared to Holland America (catering to older crowds) What music other than a violinist do they have? Any disco, Latin club/Latin music or even Caribbean music? Do they have activities during the day other than trivia, read a book or relax/swim? Is the casino all smoking or do they have non smoking section?

Why would I owe my TA an apology? The TA did not explain and made no effort to try to help me sort it out and flat out refused to call RCL when RCL themselves is telling me it isn't an issue to use the NCC in place of the deposit to have TA call to discuss. To me what a nightmare.

Purchased two next cruise bookings/certificates while onboard MOS recently and was told I had 60 days to decide who I want to bring with me exact cruise dates etc. Contacted my TA whom I'd booked the MOS cruise with and was told I could not take advantage of any of his TA rates/group rates as I would have to pay entire deposit for each room and could not use the Next Cruise booking/certificates/reservations in place of putting the full deposit for each cabin per RCL rules. TA said if I wanted to pay RCL current retail rates on the room with no OBC they could do that and use NCC/NC Booking on that pricing. Spent 5 hours on phone with RCL resolutions and group department and was told no reason cannot use the next cruise in place of deposit for the TA group pricing to have TA contact them to discuss. Called back TA who flat out refuses to contact RCL to try to resolve the deposit issue/next cruise booking, as he said I have to pay full deposit on both rooms. I have never had a TA like this and these bookings/certificates are assigned to him! Anyone go through this type of nonsense? What a nightmare should've just booked onboard to begin with.

Thank you to those that responded

Just booked trip on Apex, first time on Celebrity. I've been on most of the RCL ships and enjoy the various music venues they have (Bolaros, Pub, Music Hall etc) what does Celebrity/specifically Apex offer as far as music?

Looking for a private sight seeing tour. Years ago we used a father/son company and I cannot for the life of me remember the names or find an email about it but they were fantastic. Want to do 4-6 hours.
