How do you select if you want morning or night, do you just tell the steward? I heard suites are still twice a day does that include junior suites?

Given this it would be better for someone that needs a 4 person room to get a Next cruise voucher and booking one through the TA as they cannot join a group rate vs booking directly with a TA with no nextcruise voucher?

Makes sense.

Thanks all. One less thing to stress over.

Southern Caribbean from FLL going to Aruba and Curaçao, US passport.

Hello - our cruise is mid December and my DW passport expires May 29, 2024. We got the below message re passport being valid for at least 6 months, are they going to give us any issues when we board? We have already checked in and there were no issues other than the note below when I entered her info. Thanks.

What difference Would it be if you booked with or without group, other than savings?

Do group rates only exist for certain cabins or passenger size ie 2 vs 4?

We have done oasis class couple times since post Covid and they have loved it. Symphony, Allure. I imagine they will love Wonder as well, since it’s pretty close to Symphony but has an additional outdoor play area. Going on Odyssey in December so that will be interesting.

We are sailing on the same itinerary on Wonder in May and it’s definitely worth the up-charge for us given we have 2 toddlers and there’s a lot for them to do on the ship vs other cruise lines. We did NCL Joy this June and my 4 year old on day 2 asked when we could go home, not much on that ship for kids under 4.

Thanks, definitely focused more on itinerary and 9-10 day cruise to make the most of the time spent flying to Europe. Considering Med and Southampton based on what I see for 2024 sailings, but we haven't been to all of the others ports that are offered. We cruised the med from Venice to Barcelona on NCL back in 2019 on a 9 night pre-kids so what I don't want is to do 10-15K steps which is what we did back then.

Which Route would be better with a then 4 and almost 6 year old? For ship i know Allure being Oasis is the best and prob Odyssey 2nd in line. Not sure of the others.

How do you do that if the schedules are not released until the day they show up on the website? Or are these published somewhere.

Any estimate on when? We are looking at 2025 for Europe and both Odyssey and Allure is there, we would prefer Allure but with a refresh given the age.

Thank you learned something new, i actually had no idea about these Islands. So Little is part of AK and Big is Russia. Very interesting.

That's very interesting, especially considering if they make sections of the cabins at a time and then are able to align it perfectly to where when you are walking down the halls you don't feel like it was put together in pieces.

Interesting so these are pieces of the ship that have already been built and will be part of the ship at some point?

what does "blocks are in the house" mean? What blocks?

Thank you

Hi where can the GGG and F&F flier be found? Thanks

I got a full refund earlier today for a cruise that sails in 18 days due a loss of a family member

There are always plenty of negative posts or opinions on RCCL. I wanted to share a positive note in regards to the cruise line that was very unexpected and appreciated. My mother in law unexpectedly passed away a couple days ago and our cruise is in 18 days. I was fully expecting to either pay the $400 (4 passengers) change fee or ask them if they would make an exception and give FCC. My TA called them and they actually offered her a 3rd option which was a full refund. I was shocked and surprised as I did not expect this. So Thank You Royal for your actions, you have earned a customer for life.

We find Cruising best and easiest for our family.

Thank you for this perspective and your experience, this really helps solidify the decision to take the kids even though young and show them that part of the world. Part of me was questioning my decision and whether we should take on such an itinerary with them being so young. However the one thing i want to instill in them them is the love to travel and see the world, and experience different cultures/traditions etc, vs being/living in a sheltered/protective bubble.

Thank you, we are looking to sail in May of 2025.
