There are multiple recent threads about the high prices. The americans are also complaining.

This was last dec and we complained but the diamond lounge ambassador said she had to do 5 pm as it was fleetwide. Problem was I had dinner also at 5 so never had the snacks, though I hung around once to see them and they looked really good.

You can use your card and always gain entry. It will be open for snacks at 5 pm.

I think he said he was within 90 days, so he would lose more than $100. This must be a last minute price to fill the ship. OP I dont think rcl gives obc or price drops after final payment .. period.

I pushed pts last year to reach 340 where solo on rcl gets a 25% discount. I've cruised alone a lot. If you book for 2 it's a gty if its $300 less. If you cancel the 2nd pax the cabin could get refared. @Ourusualbeachwould know if you can cancel. My caveat is if you book 2 pax, you dont get the extra solo pt. My ta has group rates that match or are less than the gty price. Maybe try a ta. Ask around the diamond lounge or some place on your next cruise. I dont fear for safety.

You dont have to take the offer. I'd sure be tempted if it was oasis which I'm on. I'd take the 6 day and a extra day in miami or ft Lauderdale. Not sure which categories are oversold. It said they are getting the offer not all.

Try it and let us know.

I was reading 3 options. Explorer 6 day wow. Full refund, plus $300 plus the difference in fares. Of course 2 other dates and a refund. I'm on oasis next sunday so noticed it. Too bad it's not us. Was a bit more expensive than usual for me this spring break. A full refund would be nice. Here is the wording to switch to the 6 day. I dont see this posted. Forgive me if I am blind. " Sail on a Different Ship The first option is to transfer the Wonder of the Seas booking to Explorer of the Seas instead, sailing from PortMiami on March 12 for a 6-night cruise rather than a 7-night cruise. This option will also include a 100% refund of the Wonder of the Seas fare, as well as a $300 onboard credit to enjoy Explorer of the Seas. If the Explorer of the Seas fare is lower than the fare paid for Wonder of the Seas, guests will also receive a refund for the price difference, returned to their original form of payment. Guests must still pay taxes, port fees, and gratuities for the new cruise."

I didnt plan on selling the florida condo. They arent making more oceanfront and it will hold its value. I have it rented out sept to sept which I would probably renew this year. I'd sell this house not the florida condo. I inherited a pretty large sum, and my sister got a very nice house. I'm just thinking I might want something at least equal and larger. Lots to decide. .. but had no plans to sell it.

I think a few are engaging in wishful thinking how they wish it was meant.

As I said not worried about the quilts. All I can take in my SUV will go to one cousin who will share thru her church. I'm a pack rat and will keep what I can. Got another cousin to share with. Another asked for 1 quilt I'll bring to cinn for him too. No lack of people who want a finished quilt. Im now wondering about a bigger place in florida. It's a 2 2. Probably be next year before I move. Taxes, cruises booked. Might or might not cancel last 2 in my signature oct and dec 2024. Not ready to decide, until I'm clear here. I moved a lot of cash into 6 month treasuries feb 24 I'm already taking charge as trustee for my disabled sister. Got a lawyer working on new trust and putting the house in my sisters name but staying on title as trustee so her husband cant sell it. Hes been less than great in the past. Cant trust him. Been very busy.

Besides the quilts mostly I kept photos. Might par those down but not yet. Didnt even know she had their wedding album .. it still makes me cry. So many hopes and dreams I think to myself. I let the other stuff go. But i still have a lot more. I had stuff stored there i had to grab before it disappeared, oriental rugs and old pieces .. my silver they kept. My cousin came from Lubbock for the funeral and gave me good advice just keep doing it one thing at a time. At the time i said oh sure but that's how it's been. The refund from the rehab place, i asked for last jan. Wait for end of month. Wait 2 weeks. We didnt get a bill paid from medicare. I paid over $6k for her room, $200 a day so it's a couple thousand. I've just had to keep at it one thing at a time.

Added when you buy the package. The drinks ring up at $0 mostly. Allowing a extra tip.

Lol if only. 3 days of hand therapy and a day with the doctor. Monday stove guy. Put off from friday. My oven broke last jan. I've been buried since this started. I'm trustee. Finally last week found a cpa who understands what taxes to file for the trust. Other referrals dont answer their phone. Finally got that started. Every day it's something. UBS manages funds read only, I cant attach pdf to emails. Her credit card was cancelled at her death. Had to docusign 4 things to set auto payment took a month. Friday late the guy who sold them a annuity about 1984 said it's ready for signing when can we meet. Even if it's only half mine it's a lot of $$$. Need to get it. Getting a refund where she was staying as I paid all of January.. still waiting. I want a hair cut for the cruise. Hard to squeeze myself and packing, sign into American airlines I think 24 hours before? I need to find out and get with the cruise stuff but I've been buried in paperwork. Neglecting my therapy I'm sure. Not doing well there. Finally seeing the end of the tunnel. . Until taxes next year lol. I'm just concentrating on getting to the cruise. Packing light as possible with my broken wrist.

It's just me solo. Not sure of any savings, just crossing my fingers. Galveston it's getting hard to book uber. Have to book comfort or a more expensive car to get picked up. Too much demand.

Oh my gosh I am so not ready. Thanks.

Most know I recently lost my mom and my dad was not long ago. I bought a smallish ocean front condo in cape Canaveral with the idea I would move there when they passed away. Now I'm not sure I can get my stuff and my quilt inheritance into 2 bedrooms. I am driving from dallas to cinn maybe june when I hope my broken wrist is better and I can drive 2 handed with a full car load to share quilt tops and all with my cousin who has sent my mom lots of nice prints for quilts. I got a cousin in new mexico who I probably will share with too. I gave the house to my sister nd bil as I want to live on the ocean. I'm thinking I need to stay here to get the tax stuff 1099s from before mom died. My bil isnt trust worthy. I've been so busy getting hold of everyone and my bil was like a bull rampaging thru the house and I kept having to run over to grab more and more quilts. I always told mom the quilts were my inheritance. ...though maybe not 50 boxes or more. Picture 1 right to left, is a favorite geometric design, folded so you cant really appreciate, a scalloped edge quilt and a american flag quilt. 2 is my kitchen I cant get out the sliding doors to my backyard. 30 boxes at least. 3 is my bedroom, was where I kept my half packed cruise suitcase. Mostly what I call quilt tops, the top of a finished quilt without the backing. When she would give one away then she would attach the backing. Ran out of space in her large 4 bedroom to store. She did all the famous ones, from log cabin to Irish wedding chain. I said no way I'm allowing any quilts to be sold in a garage sale. My bil said once was it ok to combine boxes of half finished quilts and slap a $10 price tag. He sold the rest of their stuff. I kept the quilts. 2nd picture kitchen is 3 to 5 high stacked boxes, stacked 3 deep. .lots! So should i buy another 3 bedroom place .. use 2nd bedroom for storage, no room for guests even if I pare down and share with relatives who know a box of quilts is worth more than $10. I havent set a date to move.

Well vision as you said was older so less food choices. I did grandeur last may, pushing for pts. It was a one and done, I'm a fan of big ships with more food. I find that before the cruise rcl sales win. I got 2 excursions for march 27 10 day on radiance for 35% off. Old town in Columbia for 27.99 ..I cant take a taxi for that. Other to see locks. I booked Giovanni for lunch march 12 oasis, with taxes $20.04. Pizza day one day price. They had the filet for lunch I'm looking forward to. I get bogo on specialty restaurants. .. so it's really dynamic pricing on rcl vs almost no sales on carnival but better price once onboard. Because of pushing prices I get diamond plus and solo discount. And my ta has refundable group lower prices. I sure wish carnival was as low price. Rcl wins big for prices. What is in my signature of course carnival is the highest, 14 days, but I'm in about 1k for 10 days, even harmony 8 days to coco cay. Miracle is at least $500 more. Eeek. Both allure this sept in a inside balcony are under $700, so under $100 a day. Nothing on carnival out of texas is under $100 a day. I think carnival wins for pizza. Yes it takes longer because it's made from scratch, not just toppings added. I love the white pizza on carnival. Really enjoy lobster rolls on carnival. Nice dinner. .. just their cruise prices too high.

I'm not sure that is what it says but I could be wrong. It says member benefits that kids match your access. .. kinda sounds to me like it means if you get 2 free days so do your kids. As a loyalty perk match. Not sure it applies to a bought plan. Be interesting to know.

Yes complaints. We were on vista and the waiter refused to bring a paper menu. Never did. I understand saving paper but some old people need a paper copy of things. ..without lectures.

Jan 13 2024 dream goes to A and C of ABC. Close. I saw the prices and sorry I was omg. I'm doing rcl radiance 10 days march 27 for about 1k. Those on miracle are way way more. Nice stops, every other cruise. Not good for b2b. Every good one is very high priced. I had radiance 10 days nice ports for $800 but couldnt go. So next month colon Panama and Columbia on rcl radiance for much less. Carnival is getting so pricey. Yikes. I'm planning a move to florida. Can so these stops so much cheaper. If they come down I'm interested but not non refundable at these prices so far out. Hope to move in 2024.

Depends on what rate you booked for starters. This close in might get refared.

I agree. I love avacado but not that squeeze bag of guacamole with wierd stuff planted on top.

They wouldnt care if prices went up so they can resell it for more. They wouldnt waive any rebooking fees. .. though it sounds like you are hoping to save money by moving to a cheaper smaller cabin. I'd say too late to move for a march cruise. They wouldnt refund any money by moving. Go and enjoy. @OurusualbeachI'm sure deals with clients all the time and his post about the costs to cancel or move will be the rules. They dont make exceptions because your price went up.

Yes and the snacks. I had a interesting granola type bar on allure. Lol. Snacks are free.
