Did you book directly with RCCL? My boyfriend and I purchased 2 cruises an hour before the wow sale through ***** and I called and asked if we could still get the OBC and was told that only sailings booked August 12-15 could receive it!

Do a mock booking and you should see you’re eligibility and pricing.

Its more than 48 hours since I made my reservation on Anthem. Difference for price  paid for 1 passenger is $102 less (travelling solo). Am I being 

cheap to ask for ship credit? Would they give it to me if I asked?🤑🤔

Always ask for a price drop - money in your pocket is better than in the cruise lines.  Good Luck!

Many thank to the OP!  We've gotten $1852 in OBC on three cruises.  That's a WOW to me.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to see so many being to take advantage of this update.  It's nice to see RCCL offering some OBC again and price drops.

Hugs from Maine.

Anyone know if someone past final payment has any options with this sale?  For me it is a difference of $100.  I'm on Mariner 10/11/21.  Thanks.

Yes, definitely can get OBC after final payment if prices drop esp with the price guarantees currently in place.

WOW sale is up and is including OBC (haven't seen that in awhile).  Was able to get the OBC added to our reservation, no change in pricing for us but having some OBC helps with the drink bill.

Happy Friday Jr.

When I checked in for our Oct 31, we got the 12-12:30 timeslot.

Is this only available if you book direct or can my TA do this after final payment?  Never asked for OBC after final payment before, but cruise is down a bit.

I was able to check-in and select Noon (12 pm) for our October cruise on Freedom.

Oh, this is gonna be a good one!  Enjoy!  

Been having this for a week for our 10/31 cruise.  But, I was able to access on my mobile.

Loved your review, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us all!

I hope not !

Unfortunately, I think it did.
"Freedom OTS deck plan changes 2020 refurbishment review. Ship's 2020 drydock refurbishment (January 12 - March 7) was a USD 116 million "Royal Amplified" project that resulted in the following deckplan changes: ... (deck 4) SABOR (Mexican restaurant) replaced by "Izumi Hibachi and Sushi" (Japanese restaurant)"

Regarding Izumis - What did they take out on the Royal Promenade to put in the Izumis? I can't tell from the picture.

 

Thanks

I believe I had seen Sabor was removed to put in Izumi's but I'm sure @BirdTravels will be able to confirm.

We are just arriving in Cozumel at the moment. But, yes, we are allowed to wander and arrange private tours. 

This is GREAT news!  Have a wonderful day!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

So nice to see some "normalcy" coming back.  Have a great cruise!

We always fly in the day before, that way we can begin our vacation early, enjoy a nice dinner and get to the ship early to relax by the pools and have a nice lunch.

Lends to a much more relaxing embarkation day for us.

DCL has, by far, the best service and food on MDRs of any cruise line we've sailed on, by far. RCL MDR experience is positively the worst of the three lines.

And at a cost of double RCCL they should.  At least every time I've looked to join DCL the cost far exceeds RCCL.

I like the MDR, I have always had great service and have enjoyed the food.

My favorites are:  French onion soup, escargot and the onion tart.  Lobster, lamb and steaks!!

And as for a dessert, I will take it all.

 

As I said I really enjoy dining in the MDR.  I do eat in the Windjammer and the specialty Restaurants. I east wherever food is served I will most likely be in line.

 

Sea ya all on the Sea.

I've always had great experiences in the MDR as well.  I love the escargot with my Prosecco every night.

They gave me a one-time 30-day extension at no extra cost on several occasions.  Try calling their Customer Service number 855-234-4654.

Hope you're able to get some satisfaction!

Agreed I did not have to pay a fee either.

Royal's website just crashed pretty hard.

Yup, continuous server errors when attempting to navigate.

Just received our email from RC concerning our August 16 Mariner...our bad luck continues....

They will start sailing the next week on the 23rd; however, our Southwest tickets expire on August 16.

 

UGH!

 

Contact Southwest - they are great to work with and will probably honor the change even with expiration.

Good luck.

Been having the same issues attempting to login through Mobile.  Their IT department is awful, I work in eCommerce and I would be ashamed if my website had so many of these issues.

I have been able to login through my laptop, but the prices just increased by 60% in some cases today, who knows maybe another sale coming.
