  1. However, if you price too competitive (low), there's an opposite effect. For instance, on my March 31 Anthem sail, I received an e-mail announcing certain senior based discounts. One was the Water Park cabanas at CC for a little over $800. I had reserved 2-day beds at Chill Island, which were being priced at $399 each, but I paid $199 each when originally booked. If I had paid the current going price, I would have cancelled the beds and jumped at the opportunity and booked the Cabanas. In addition, pricing for Hideway Beach were going in the low $20s. Primary reason, IMO, is that it's an Easter sail from Bayonne NJ and there's going to be a ton of kids. Also, don't know if there's another ship visiting the island.
  2. Did you e-mail your request at rcldning@rccl.com
  3. I used Galveston Express @$35 pp each way. Run on the hour.
  4. On my 9 niter on Liberty September’25 sail they added Sydney Nova Scotia.
  5. Q? Will this action cause re-pricing of cruise fare and with the current inflation in cruising prices it may cost more than the original 2X fare.
  6. Also D+. On recent Oasis and Harmony sail the main theatre had the first 3 middle rows reserved and assume that they are for suite Paxs. Also, the Ice show had the first middle 3-5 rows reserved for suites and upper tiers.
  7. You should have no problems if you do an early disembarkation with your bags. The disembarkation process/custom is so much easier now with the Facial Recognition Technology. Newark International is only about 15 minutes from terminal.
  8. I think in addition to the IT issues, many agents are not familiar with some of the rules and benefits. One agent tells me that the DP340 code was Casino benefits. I almost threw up the coffee that I was drinking at that time. Also, when I booked the Liberty sail, it was the C&A folks that advised the agent that the August 21 sail was in the blackout periods. I referred him to the C&A listing of benefits which states the summer blackout dates were from June 15-August 15, but he would have none of it. He reiterated this was a most recent change. Ps, can't fight City Hall .😜
  9. My grandkids loved Chop's and Giovanni's. and not sure they would have enjoyed 150 CP. They enjoyed the atmosphere and the menus. They basically ordered from the adult menu, without a problem.
  10. With all of these complaints and abandoning Royal, I’m surprised they are still functioning. 🤣
  11. I calculated mine, however the agent calculation was sbout $250 cheaper. When the 30/30 promo was in play my calculation on the 2nd pax was right on. However, not so clear with the 60% off 2nd pax.
  12. Yes, I reread the restrictions, but I don't know if there's has been a more recent change to the blackout dates. One agent tells me that there was an update and the new blackout periods, other than holidays and spring break, to be from May 15-September 12. Another tells me that it coincides with the Kids Sail Free promo. Is the C&A desk making up rules as situation come up. The DP340 benefit was not available on the Liberty August 21, 2025 (my preference), but available on the September 18, 2025, sail.
  13. My opinion, it was made up as the KSF on some sailings has been going, it seems, for the last 2 years. @OurusualbeachIs it possible for you to confirm the new and revised blackout dates, if you can.
  14. Finally, after an hour my Liberty 8/21/2025 was considered as in the blackout period. Was told some strange answer that the blackout dates run concurrently with the "Kids Sail Free". I wasn't going to waste my breath as I thought that it was some stupid answer that the C&A dept. gave the agent. Anyway, went to the fallback sail on Liberty for September 18, 2025. Hope someone can confirm if the blackout dates have been revised and expanded.
  15. It's the same as their 30/30 sale except as a different twist. As previously stated, this has been a problem since the restart whenever new itineraries are announced. I'm currently on hold with a Royal Agent and it has been some 10 minutes as he's waiting for the C&A folks to calculate the discount. Frustrating as I have to explain what the promo is all about.
  16. Where is the bed and probably, you'll be so far away from the ship to smell anything but clear Caribbean Sea.
  17. I have no problem entering the code on my laptop. The booking format on the laptop has not changed. Also, I've had no problem booking the code for a Harmony December '24 and Explorer January '25 sails. Only on the most recent released itineraries has it been a problem.
  18. It's been a problem over the last couple of years that the code does not work for a time when new itineraries are released. It's funny, that when I called on Friday, a different agent manually calculated and was about to give me the discount on the same ship, dates and itinerary, but I lost power and did not get the power back until the next day at 3am. Unfortunately, never been able to get the same agent.
  19. Funny, as some years ago the pricing around Labor Day was one of the lowest due to Hurricane concerns.
  20. Sorry, to have to bring this up again. I was trying to book a sail and was told by a C&A D+ desk agent that the new blackout dates, other than holidays and spring break, has expanded from May 15-September 12. Can someone confirm this statement as in past I got wrong answers.
  21. Was trying to book a Liberty sail from Bayonne on September 2025 and had problems with mock booking and reflection of the DP coupon/promo. This. had been a constant irritant since the release of the new schedules. So, I decided to call the C&A/D+ desk and the agent had similar issues and had to manually calculate the fare. After he gave me the quote, I asked him if I need to call the Casino desk to apply the $ off that I earned on my February Anthem cruise. He tells me that it's not combinable. I mentioned to him that I have some 5 upcoming cruises where I was able to apply both and advised him that these are 2 separate and distinct events. But, suddenly, my electricity/power went off and was cut off from the agent. It seems some idiot hit a telephone pole in my neighborhood and did not get power back until 3am this morning. Thank God it wasn't as cold and windy s previous days and the insulation kept the bedroom temp at 62. Sorry to digress but has there been a change in applying the solo supplement and casino $ off.
