Which is what “perks” essentially are anyhow.

If someone bothered to read the small print on the RC benefits page regarding the benefits discussed above it states as available or something to that effect. Those benefits are definitely not available on Liberty out of Galveston or Anthem out of New Jersey which we are booked on in Sept. so who is spreading disinformation.

Thanks Ocean Boy for trying to reason with this individual but you can't reason with someone with an attitude like that.

Where is this small print you speak of? I’m glad you are a keen observer of the details.....the devil is often found there, no?

BTW, how’s the weather in Ft. Wortn these days?

Priority boarding. On our last cruise (our 39th with RC) the priority line for Suites, Pinnacle, and now Key members had 10 guests in it. The other line for everyone else had over 600. Taking away that benefit seemed unnecessary.

They also took away priority seating in the theater & ice show as well as priority departure.  

So your contention is that by allowing key people to use those privileges that it was somehow taken away from you?

That's true we still have some very good benefits but they did take away three that we utilized.

I’d still be very interested in hearing what exactly they “took away”.

That's an RCI IT issue, not newbie issue - should be able to cancel up till 3 days out.

Just to confirm what @Biker19 said....

This is what we received on the receipt from RCI when I purchased.

Our cruise is 11/23/2019

They don’t know what address you are going to. 

Although true, it doesn’t matter. They can, and do, cherrypick. I was just pointing out that what you advised was not true. That’s all.

The OP is from the UK so it’s possible they might not have US phone service to access Uber/Lyft.  If they use the Taxi Dispatcher, always verify the cost before getting in the cab.  I’ve been quoted both $5 and $6 and always tip the driver because it’s not a big money maker for them.  For me it’s a big money saver to ride the light rail and PATH to Newark Penn or New York Penn Station.

 

 

Well, I would just naturally assume that they would, if they’re members here....

There is a designated area for Uber and Lyft pickups. It takes about 10 minutes for a them to arrive when they are booked.. Uber and Lyft drivers don't know where passengers are going until they arrive at the pickup location. That is so they can't game for a longer trip. So that it is a short trip does not matter. 

You couldn’t be more wrong. There are multiple ways drivers can determine where you are going. This includes Uber Pro drivers are told by Uber which direction and approximate trip time....for instance......”Joe 30min trip west”.....

Good luck if you choose pool though.

Heh, don’t be so sure. If the docks are full, you may have more of a time finding him than you think. Here’s the good news, just ask, the other drivers point each other out happily.

We’ve used Quinton multiple times.....you’ll have a blast!

Hi Bill - have a wonderful trip.

 

We have Mr. Fox booked for our Summit cruise in mid-June, so if you feel like reporting back here as to what you saw and did on your tour, I would be very interested.

 

Bon voyage to both of you!

 

Janet

Absolutely!

Hi folks, I have this posted the board for my specific sailing, but figured I'd post here as well for anyone who may be arriving on the Breakaway! Thanks!

 

 

 

 

Thanks, oh, and lets not forget EIGHT days left!!!

Well that was quick! Found a couple to join us, but thanks all for looking!!!

Hi folks,

Just throwing this out there. Wife and I have booked Mr David Fox for a tour of the island on Wednesday May 16th 10:00am departure.

He comes highly recommended from the people here on CC. So we booked him. He advises to plan for a minimum of 5 hours for the tour. There is room for 2 more people if anyone was interested. The cost is 40.00 per hour, for up to 4 people. He can take up to 6, I believe, but the cost rises to I believe 50.00 per hour.

We were planning on just us, but since his tour is so popular, and its just us two, we thought we'd throw this out there for our CC friends to see if anyone else would be interested . This cruise appears to be pretty close to sold out, Aqua for sure is completely sold out.

About us. I'm Bill and a 47 yo pilot for a major airline. Cynthia, my beautiful bride is an office manager, and is also 47. She's gonna kill me ! We will be in 1138 for this cruise! Which, btw, would not have happened if a fellow board member had not advised that he had given up 1138 to go to a suite. I can't thank him enough!

In any event, if anyone is interested, feel free to either reply, or shoot me a PM. I check this thread daily, so I'll respond promptly.

Thanks, oh, and lets not forget EIGHT days left!!!
