cruisin from florida

I'm waiting for the Brilliance itineraries out of Boston.

Same. Really excited for this itinerary.

I'm not usually, either. If there's a lot of motion you might want to be mindful of your movements. It was the combo, and the gym is all the way forward on a high deck, which exacerbates any ship movement. There were lots of other folks unaffected. I spent the rest of the day in bed sending hubby for every remedy the ship had to offer.

I bought this for our NZ cruise on Ovation a year ago. Rough passage + gym being on a high deck + movements during yoga gave me severe vertigo/seasickness for the first time ever. They refunded the $$. YMMV. I did get a pre-cruise deal (I think it was $119 for the whole cruise, including gratuities) fairly close to the cruise date.

We're on both those sailings, too! We'll have to take a lot of before and after pics!

I'm getting this error "Forbidden You don't have permission to access /edocs/XXX...XXX.pdf on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." when trying to print out luggage tags and/or view cruise contract. Same thing happening for 3 upcoming cruises. Anyone else having the same issue?

Are you planning to spend time in Venice before or after the cruise? You could do your Venice stay and then get the Royal shuttle straight to the ship, or vice versa. We flew in and spent the night at the airport hotel, then too the shuttle from the airport to the cruise port the next morning. For the return, we took the shuttle to the Venice transportation center, bought transportation passes and enjoyed Venice for a few days before heading on to Florence and Rome by train.

I just look every day at this point. They are dribbling out the cool itineraries, and the JS/suite guarantees go fast.

We put a hold on a suite guarantee the day it came out. By the time my TA looked (just a few minutes later, there were no guarantees left, and the group space JS were a lot more than we paid (7075 for two, including gratuities). So I just finalized the guarantee, and now looking forward to another great trip to new places! Hope the group space rates are good. See you in 2025! (I've started the meet n mingle for this sailing).

Why do you say this? I'm cancelling two long-booked desirable sailings to go on these Anthem sailings b2b. What makes you think they won't happen?

That's what we're doing. Booking is done, deposit is due at the end of the month. Hopefully he'll have group space by then. If not, he can switch it later.

I hope mine does soon!

So, if group space hasn't been added for the Singapore-Tokyo leg, does that mean it won't be later? I'm booking regardless, but would love the better rate.

Duplicate.. please delete

No, but it takes them a minute to figure it out. We crossed the dateline last spring, and they originally only gave us 17 days credit. Then the fixed it.

We just booked the b2b. Cancelling a couple of other itineraries to do these. Thanks for the heads-up!

IF the IT were set up to do so, an email could be sent to anyone who has not yet boarded, with an offer link. First X number to accept the offer gets it. Again, there may have been folks with circumstances that made them want to switch their booking but it was too late. Even without IT, a paper with the offer could have been handed out in the boarding area. 20/20 hindsight is easy. Someone made a bad call under time pressure.

They are WAY softer than some of the flattened bricks that have been called mattresses on other ships, but definitely on the firm side. If you need a plushy pillow top feel, bringing a topper is a good idea.

The new mattresses are great!!! I so wish they'd do this fleet-wide. My friend has not had to use the mattress topper she brought.

Laundry room on deck 7

My friend is taking a topper, too. The beds are one of the major negatives for her. So much so that it's making her rethink cruising on Royal. Hopefully her topper helps.

We're boarding tomorrow for a quick cococay trip. I hope we have a new bed!

It's a 15 night JS. "Savings NRD" is $750. That's not the D+ balcony discount; it's the part that C&A says isn't combinable with the balcony discount.

I recently booked a JS guarantee for a 2025 cruise. These are the charges and discounts. I did not receive the D+ balcony discount, and am told it's not combinable with the discounts on this cruise. I'm ok with what I paid, but would like to be more aware in the future. Does anyone know how to tell if the "Savings NRD" is combinable prior to booking? My recollection is that in the recent past, the D+ discount was combinable with just about all the website prices.

(Note... I need to verify that that includes a D+ discount).
