Well using bells and noise items, remember we are on a cruise here, might jingle all the way home lol.

I've booked Sunset Beach Resort, day pass, twice. This is an all inclusive resort, gated resort. It was not crowded, drinks were fine, food was so-so, it is a very pretty place, it is not over the top outstandingly beautiful with huge ceilings or well you get the picture. There is a pool, a play area in the water for kids or adults, beach, palapas, and best of all it was very relaxing and peaceful. I booked on line myself and no issues whatsoever. Last time was 2010 and it was approx 60.00 pp

I love Galveston. Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never waited long to get on nor get off the ship. Last October, I was thru customs and in my car within 25 minutes so shoot, that's not bad at all. Great place, people, and food and fun in the sun, or without sun.

Whats the hold up? Fog? port authority? are you off the ship?

cozumelinsider.com has a 2.00 coupon for Chankanaab, $2.00 is still $2.00!!

There is plenty good food and drink without pay extra. Now, I have read that the food that is extra is very good, and averages 25-30.00 pp. Specialty ice creams and specialty desserts are extra. They have free good deserts and ice cream. The pizza is free. Specialty coffees are extra. Some cruise lines now charge approx 4.00 for room service in the very wee hours of the morning, say 12-5:00 a.m. The arcade is extra and we all know the casino is a very big extra lol. Tip the porters coming and going at the pier, typically 1-2.00 per bag or more if you choose. You can bring a 12 pack each of water and/or pop onboard without any snarles. There are several shops for perfume, jewelry, clothing, souveniers all onboard which of course are extra. Taxi to where you are going in port, extra, likewise on the way from port.

Jason - Good idea

OP - I can definitely understand your concerns. Completely cover the locks and handle with lots of duct tape. I think I would hear my child if they were trying to get it off, and also put your suitcase, or 2 or 3 in front of it at night. I'm sure if there were an emergency an adult could get it off very quickly?

Navigator, just haven't experienced many wines, thought this might be a good way to try some without buying bottle after bottle.

If you carry two bottles on and put two in luggage how would anybody know ?

:D exactly lol!!:p

This thread is from 2006?

I'm curious though, does RCCL still offer a free wine tasting?

My date was changed on the "new" certificates to March something....can't remember...this was as of Thursday the 2nd.

Can somebody post the phone number of the crown and anchor dept to call please?

Thanks!!

Just heard from ta; seems RCI rebilled at the new rate.

However, they corrected invoice so back to the original great price:D

Alright now, you had me holding my own breath!!!

Yeah, so glad it worked out for such nice people!!

Kelly

Well their website.....need I say more lol??

Thanks so much!!

Kelly

I think I will leave well enough alone. Good to know that it is not uncommon to not be able to see it online.

Thank to all so very very much!!

Happy Sailing!!

Kelly

Ken and Bob - Thank you for your quick replies. Other ppl on cc have said that they called and got the certificate, I dunno. If it isn't a qualifying certificate because of promotion, then that's just the way it is.

So..is it typical that OBC may show up at a later date of a few weeks or so?

Thanks again very, very much!

Yesterday I put a hold on the Navigator of the Seas, May 25, 2014 sailing. This morning I called my TA and we booked the cruise. I have my total price and the room I picked in confirmation. The TA website and the RCCL website, both have my booking. Here is the ?

When I put my cruise on hold, it also gave me 150.00 OBC. My TA and RCCL do NOT have that listed on the website or anywhere I can find, nor is that in any of my paperwork.

Also, there is a certificate for it, of 125.00 for my sailing which I informed them of also. TA says that RCCL said you cannot use the certificate in addition to the WOW sale. It does not say that on the website and when I put my hold on it stated I qualified for 150.00 OBC.

What do I do?

Thanks so much!

Yes Ma'am, it sure does. Don't forget to email me in case you need my phone #. With so many cabins available, I just wonder if a massive group cancelled or something? I guess I am nosey, but I sure would like to know why so many rooms this close so cheap?

Ohhhh, ok, thanks for telling me. RCCL is closed tomorrow according to the rep I spoke with, if a person put a hold on today via online, won't it automatically fall out tomorrow when they are not there? The rep extended mine because of the holiday, just hoping alot of ppl don't get disappointed thinking they have a hold only to find out it has slipped away!!

You actually have a bigger cabin now good job

Thank you!! I tried to get the hump cabin my friend above "Nancy", who is sailing on SOS with me in February, told me about but they were all gone. Thats ok tho, I am so super excited about a balcony, never ever thought I would be able to do that, but shoot, that price, this girl jumped!!

Thanks again!!

kitkat - where do you see the onboard credit? I couldnt find that?? I like $ too lol:p

Kelly,

 

7612 is available. HURRY and go snag that one. It's on the hump, and your balcony will be bigger.

 

Nancy

Darn, by the time I called it was gone!! But my room is now 8644..hope its ok

Thank you so much for trying, I really appreciate it!!

Kelly

no obstruction from your balcony

Congrats on your first balcony

Thanks so much, I appreciate your help!!

My room is 8644, I had the wrong one!! Is this a good one?

Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing your find OP!!! I have a hold on room 7584, I have never had a balcony, couldnt afford it!! Does this look like a good balcony? No obstruction? Also, not even sure who is going with me, hopefully don't have to put a name on it for a while?

Thanks for all help!!
