No such thing as too much pepperoni.

He is a TA and says it does not matter when you cancel the 2nd person. Just pay the fare. If you paid for 2 pax, the taxes and fees for 2nd pax are automatically refunded. Ignore the righteous posts about scamming... some people have a need to feel better about themselves.

I'll bet anyone the new 8 day harmony cruises in 2024 go up in price. Every unusual cruise, or cruise to coco cay goes up. The prices now might seem higher but they will for sure go higher. Never seen a coco cay cruise from Galveston that didnt keep going up. Book it if you want it now.

There are some I've heard. But the ones I look at out of Galveston I cant book. Luckily my TA has group rates that are similar.

My airfare was over $500, now what I have would cost over $1400. My hotel price doubled since I booked in Miami. Galveston up only $10 hotel. Everything is up. 2024 prices on harmony are up from 2023 harmony prices. Book less possibly, but not stay home.

I'm assuming you dont cruise solo as if a couple can book a gty, only on royal cant a solo book the same gty cabin. If they pay to pick their cabin as a solo then it's more than 200% more than the gty. Other lines I can book a gty. Makes no sense to me rcl doesnt let me.

Self assist they said can get off at 8 am. Most were actually off before 730 am. Lyft can go into the port, uber hasnt paid to go I to the port but mine did. She said uber shows they should drop off in the parking lot. It took about 30 minutes for her to drop me off where you check luggage and I wasnt checking luggage. Parking lot would have been faster and walk to the check in place. Saltwater moms and the private shuttles have paid to drop you off in the port. When I got off it was so early no taxis were there and it was difficult to find where to meet a ride to me. And 40 degrees.

Carnival isnt friendly to solos. During covid there were some deals but dried up now. I'd like to book jubilee and keeping a eye on prices. Maybe last minute after final payment prices will drop. They used to do the 1As for less supplement, but that's long since gone. Rcl I pushed to the 340 level with the double pts, so now they give me 25% off on top of the balcony discount. Any rcl cruise now is cheaper for me as a solo than carnival. .. I keep watching though. I'd even do last minute. I have to assume solo isnt their target audience.

If it's her first cruise and she has no number I'd let it go. She has no status. Wait u til after this cruise.

Might not be the best, but that day with sun shining in dec and a perfect temperature it was so beautiful out there in the solarium I took a couple of picture. Allure.

As before only on oasis class. Idk about quantum class. 3 items are not free but they still have a free breakfast.

I think its typical they close up the booking 2 days before you sail. Nothing else can be purchased.

It's not true. They made it up. Only Columbia on my 10 day still requires testing. Then nothing on all my booked 9 cruises. I did wish I'd done the covid booster but I was sick then my mom and just was so busy and didnt get it. I got sick on allure and still cant quite shake it. Took a test onboard said I was negative. Never believed them. Just meant I didnt get isolated, but for sure was still sick. Tested positive home test. Not required though. It's up to you.

Excursions wouldnt go below 35% off. If you can book that cheap grab it now. Black friday I had 1 out of my 9 booked cruises that low. I had some last sept for 30% off.

No it was shaded pretty much 100%. There is a tall divider that blocked the sun. I also cant sit in the sun, so this was my favorite.

Corner aft deck 9, so smaller balcony than what you can book with 3. Non sliding door.

I love the aft view so I'd choose that over anything else as a preference if money didnt matter. I've seen the spacious balconys and they appear to have more space at the foot of the bed for walking thru. I'm solo so it wouldnt be that important but extra space is nice. I kept my b2b in dec for the extra pts. .. so if a JS wasnt double a balcony, I'd get one, but on oasis class inside balconys such a good deal, good to me. Most of my bookings are oasis class. On your class .. it just depends on if that next tier has anything you want. I wanted 340 for the solo discount. Upgraded toiletries nice. Nothing at 525 I care about. Pinnacle so far away. Now I dont care .. lol at least as much. I did a corner aft on liberty and long walk but motion no issue,,..depends on your weather so much. I did end boardwalk, all the way aft, long walk to end of aft on allure but I did feel some extra motion that week.

I used to gr theirs until last sept. It was the sourest ever. They used oranges that were rancid. It tasted like acid. Burned my throat. Stupid to use oranges they had to have known by the feel were bad.

The free italian is different than the dinner. I like the prices for paid restaurants..and the steak place has surf n turf included.

Has it been 6 or 7 days since your cruise. I would sign into my account and look and see if any pts posted first. Then go from there.

I have yet to find a cruise my TA couldnt make a group of just me. A group of 1 and it's a better price than I see online. I'm not saying there arent exceptions, but i havent seen them. Sometimes later the price does drop and i have gotten out of the group. Everything in my signature is a group rate and refundable.

I would NOT do royal up with 2 cabins. You risk not being together or one is approved not the other. Royal up is only if you dont care where your cabin is, like a gty. Yes if one adult gets the drink pkg in a cabin both must purchase something, but one can get the refreshment pkg instead by calling. The key is worth it more for newbies imo. Saves maybe 15 minutes or so boarding. Wifi the whole cruise. I get 2 free days of wifi and 5 drinks a day and b2b usually a turn around lunch. For me it's a pass. Flowrider is free and it's open a lot. My friends rode it daily. I had a cabin end of boardwalk and watched the kids do the rock climbing wall all day. It's free. They close it to wash it down. Zip line free but often a wait. Only tie shoes allowed. No slip ons for this. Ice skating is free but not open as much.

Depends when you are going. Downtown during spring break, march 11, my next cruise, hotels are mostly $400 and up for decent near the port. I'm staying out by the airport. My hotel sold out, but must later have had some cancellations as now its asking double what I booked at. If it's a busy time of year book early.

My friend booked one of these for allure 12/11 and when he arrived at the port was told a performer wanted his cabin, he was moved to a central park balcony. He went and complained and got a obc for 25% of what he had paid. Sounded more than fair to me.

TAs have group rates which for me are always a bit less and the deposit is refundable. All mine are refundable up until final payment.
