  1. There may be some availability once on board. Just go to the Shore Excursion desk as soon as you board. I've stayed at the Breezy Bay at Chill Island and enjoyed it immensely. Closer from the tram drop off, the water park and very close to Snack Shack. As a matter of fact, I reserved 2 beds for our upcoming Oasis August sail.
  2. Book under your name and when you get to the Cabana the attendant will provide you and your guests the wrist bands.
  3. Are you a member of the union. Never paid a porter and out in 20 minutes from ship to street. Be careful someone may resurrect this:🤣 Mafia style baggaging in Miami RCI terminal?
  4. My question is that she is not being terminated but assigned to a different executive position within the Royal group. If anything, the estimated liability should be transferred from Celebrity to Royal books and paid when and if terminated. That is why I vote yes at proxy time on having some voice on any executive compensation desicions.
  5. That's some deal. Can someone enlighten me on this. There was a big scandal when a principal at one of the schools in my County was retiring and was to receive a $750k severance. All hell broke loose.
  6. Specifics, so that we can say a "Hail Mary" for you.🙏
  7. Deleted. Caught it--you meant the on-board invoice with all the charges.😂
  8. Don't know, prior to intro of FRT there were no separate lines for porters.
  9. Mine is the cheaper version "Preferred" and a solo that fits my needs. My SIL has the Reserve and get a lot of benefits for the price, especially travel & points.
  10. Any specifics as to why it takes 1-2 hours to get off. Many ports have facial recognition technology (FRT) and therefore no need for long lines or showing of passports. On my recent Anthem cruise in February, it took me exactly some 20 minutes to leave ship, get my luggage and go thru customs and on to the garage. 25 minutes later I was home. By the way the same time frame when I sailed Oasis for Miami in early December. Ps. TSA is experimenting with FRT at selected airports.
  11. At a minimum you will be getting taxes & fees (T&F) as refunds. My only experience was when we had a family sail scheduled for Easter '20. My wife was hospitalized, and we could not sail. However, this was right around the beginning of the Pandemic and Royal was flush with cash and probably we in total did not visualize the future impact. Anyway, I informed my TA who cancelled our cruise and informed Royal of the circumstances. The result was that I received credit to my CC for one of us, plus all T&F--don't know if it was mine or my wife. The unreimbursed amount, I submitted with all sorts of medical information to Chase Sapphire CC under the "trip interruption/cancellation policy. Got the balance of the moneys including my TA $100 cancellation fee. As others have said, you got nothing to lose but some time and effort.
  12. You are a couple of weeks late to the party. See my post #24 and related posts.
  13. Look for Labor Day sales. Last year, we took advantage of the "Key" for $14.99 pp/pd.
  14. That does not make any sense. I got a $50 OBC for the inconvenience of one of their screw-up and the amount appears in my cruise planner. Call them again.
  15. You missed my point. I concur and mentioned what you are saying, but unless there’s a photo requirement the attendant won’t know who comes and goes. The bands can.be easily be transferred based on the ones that we received.
  16. The beds only allow 4 with bands. I believe the cabanas allow up to 8 and the ones by the water park allows up to 6. Ps. I should not say this, but if you play around with the wrist band (loose) it can be transferred between.
  17. On my Oasis October sail, I went to excursion desk when I boarded and was able to choose my bed and location. the beds at Breezy Bay.
  18. Unless you want to pay extra for an additional entree.
  19. Go to the excursion desk as soon as you board and see what they have you assigned. Did it the last time and I was able to choose the Bed at Breezy Bay (Chill Island)
  20. The one that we took some years ago involved a train and a boat ride. Our idiot guide gave the wrong meeting place to some and she was panicking as a bunch were missing. Then she tried to make up ground by rushing and speed walking and my poor my wife was having a difficult time keeping up. We took the tour in August and if I recall the temps was a bit over 100. The countryside was beautiful and hopefully you will get a chance to see rows and rows of Sunflowers before they are picked and turned into Sunflower oil and the Carrara marble deposits.
  21. If you don't call them is the default what your present selections are.
  22. Royal may punt and not wanting to talk to you as the TA controls the reservations.
  23. The DL is there and wonder if some arrangements are made. Also, besides being a non-smoking area, what about the main Casino part will it still be smoking and non-smoking.
  24. Better than "Minors losing their Diamond Status."🤪
  25. It's the same people that spend $3k+ for an over the water cabanas in Coco Cay.😁
