Thanks all this was VERY helpful!!!

thanks... usually try to sail out of Cape Liberty, NJ so those are the ones I am trying to find?

When do they drop the available sailings in Summer 2025  (As NCL already did?)

ok, thks

If you have the Unlimited Dining Plan, are any 'pay for' dining options on CocoCay covered?

Even with prepaid grats added to my existing one... the price today is thousands more without grats!

Symphony in Aug 2024

This was our Honeymoon cruise!  The first time, of many, we would make fools of ourselves on the Newlywed Game/Love & Marriage on board shows!

Based on the info above about the AC750...is there a better travel modem to use that does NOT slow it down?

Thanks

Not to sound stupid but....

If the pre-black Friday is effectively BLACK FRIDAY sales for RCL then I won't bother checking anymore?

Holly shitzel:  My Key is $41.99 pd/pp.   That is crazy!

shirazcruiser:  Speaking as a person in IT for many years... it has absolutely nothing to do with technology, software or hardware!

It has to do with the decisions from above in RCL.

Starry Eyes:  I agree, when you buy something you should understand what the agreement is BUT when Execs from that company plainly state publicly that the options will shortly change (like precruise booking) than that is what u expect.

I booked UPD but again if they misrepresented the fact that pre-cruise booking will be available after Jan... will return it!

Under the previous satellite provider their platform looked for travel routers and disconnected them.  

 

Unknown how a travel router will function now that Starlink is the provider.  

Really????

put this in another thread BUT no answers:

I have always used a wireless travel Router at Hotels (TP-Link AC750 Travel Router) as I do not like being ‘open’ on wireless connections.

I read somewhere that many ships, even with Starlink, had very poor connectivity in your stateroom? 

I’m will be more aft on the 12^th floor on Symphony and want to make sure that I actually would get connectivity without a problem… as I do most of my on-line work in my cabin and if the connection is bad… would not buy the daily package.

Anyone have experiences?

Boy.... ALL OF YOU are geniuses!!!!  Followed some suggestions and they were now willing to rebook.

Pays to ask the experts!

THANKS!!!!

That is the reason I primarily book on board as my exposure is only $100 pp.

what do u mean 'exposure'?  The deposit is MUCH lower or you are not locked?

Thank you so much for the heads up.  I am on the same cruise, and just called to save $454.00, plus I changed from a guarantee to an assigned cabin!  

You mean I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO HELP SOMEONE?   WOW,I didn't think it was possible as I am not Diamond +, Diamond or anything... I think my category is LEAD

OP, is the cruise booked fully refundable?  
 

If so what is the cancellation policy like for your current TA?  Would you have to pay them a fee to cancel and book directly with RC?  You might be further ahead paying a small fee if the drop in pricing is worth it. 
 

 

I lose the deposit I think... $1000

You've got another thread going on a similar topic.😜

Yes and no... sorry but this was started about Black Friday and I morphed onto TA issues also.

Thanks... they are back Monday but will call them tomorrow.... regardless of where they are?

Thanks all... I no longer feel 'unrealistic' and ready for a TA talk on Monday... when they return

Don't swear off all TAs because you happened to have a poor one now.

What really can be expected from a GOOD TA?  This way I am NOT unrealistic with expectations.
