Keep Upgrading does not effect the free at sea perks

Not true. You can book the al la carte restaurant like cagney without paying. Reservations open up about 125 days prior to sail date. If you make reservations too late, all of the time slots is reserved. You will need to wait till you get onboard to make reservations The restaurant only allows about 20% to be booked ahead of time online

its usually somewhere in the cruise manager with a message to upgrade and there is only one offer. if you decline, you will no longer get any more upgrades

i have been on cruises where i saw some old coworkers and friend onboard the ship unexpectedly . its a small world

it was about 30 dollars for the bear itself and 10 dollars for the clothes

even if you had a prefer afternoon fight at like 130pm, you would of still miss that flight anyway

you get the same perks as platinum, sapphire status does not get anything extra except for a increase of % off of certain things and you get an extra bottle of water

ive been on many cruises in the past where the time i picked does not match with the time printed on the ticket. this is usually because the tour vendor adjusted the times for whatever reason.

when i was on the escape at the end of October, they was already card in the slot. the card slot does not control the ac. the slot is only used for lights and for the outlet for power ac is always on

this is the internet price for my upcoming cruise on royal : 20 dollars a day. That is on par with carnival new rates IMHO, it looks like carnival is following their competitors by charging identical pricing Royal steakhouse, chops is about 55 dollars a person compare to carnival 50 dollars.

when the epic tenders, do they use the ship lifeboat as tenders or do they contract it out to the port/shore excursions? that is a big difference from what i noticed. if the ship has no lifeboat tenders like some of the newer class ships and there no other boats to use like the shore excursion boats then the ship can not and will not tender at all. tender ports will be avoided if the ship has tender lifeboats, they can tender anywhere

points are awarded after the cruise, your new level is on the next cruise

ship is near the terminal, should be fully docked in about 30 minutes

only teppanyaki has a upfront charge. since you have a dinning package, the system assumes you will use this for the restaurant so you have no upfront charge la cucia and le bistro has no upfront charge

à la carte means it is a regular priced restaurant like at home with different menu items costing xyz amount of money. if you have a dinning package or a latitude voucher, you can ignore the pricing on the menu

last minute cancellations or people dont show up you can still get an upgrade on embarkation day

its only available on the oasis and newer class ships. older ships dont require it

when you enter the theater, comedy lounge or the supper club they will scan your card and then your reservation will appear

yes ncl works the same way where you select the time frame. this time is never enforced in the terminal, no one checks it

without the tail, the ship looks like freedom again

the cruise plans only works on land, it does not work when connecting to the ship cellular network

thats the old rate as before next Friday December 8. after December 8, the rates will go into effect and the chart will be correct

In the terms and conditions of the free at sea, the dinning package is only: Applicable to guests 1-2 on the reservation guest 1 and 2 can go to any specially dinning restaurant twice

every cruise line has own standard for check in time and they are all different Norwegian is 21 days before sailing Carnival is 14-16 days before sailing Royal is 45 days before sailing

I found the new rates:
