I had a few spare minutes by the pool this afternoon so I whipped this together. Thanks to my iPhone, GoPro and iMovie you get this so-so video. Turn up your volume and enjoy.

 

No animals were harmed in this production, however I have eaten a few of his tasty relatives. MMM conch fritters.

Great video. Enjoying the review. On the same itinerary on December 9th, starting out of Miami instead of FT Lauderdale. We are in Suite 1718, will let you know how the AC is. Never booked a cruise so close to sail.... but would do it in a minute.

One of these days I’ll figure out how to edit a post in here.

We are Emerald. Oops

And I really thought I typed in ..... We were upgraded to a sky loft suite 8722.

Hello all

So many Threads on here ask and talk about the "Upgrade Fairy" .... so ... here is our story...

Indeed the Upgrade Fairy Exists.

We were booked into a GS with Large Balcony on Anthem of the Seas Departing December 2nd 2017. On Wednesday Morning the 29th we received an Email from AN GOTL 02.

The email was from the Royal Genie introducing himself and had lots of information regarding our upcoming cruise on the 2nd. I went to my Cruise Planner and saw nothing to indicate an upgrade or any other messages. Then I noticed our cabin number had changed. So thrilled. Don't know how we got so lucky.

To try and answer some of the common questions:

-We are Platnum, will be Diamond after this cruise.

-Booked the cruise on the phone with RC direct.

-Booked on October 26th of this year. Only about 10 weeks before the cruise.

-We do have in our cruise planner checked that it is ok to Auto Upgrade us.

-Have cruised with RC 5 times previous.

- 3 regular balconies, 1 Jr Suite, and 1 Crown Loft Suite on Oasis.

-about 10 days ago the only cabins left to book on line were about 6 of this type of Suite or larger. (even thought about calling to see how much to upgrade but never did)

-No special occasion or celebration booked on the cruise.

-Neither of us are affiliated or work in the travel industry in any way.

-I am 50yo and my parter is 40

-We had the Deluxe Beverage Package and 3 nights specialty dinning booked already. One quick call, about 10mins with RC and they gladly refunded both payments. I fully expected to be told no or offered an on board credit. I would have been fine with either. I kind of felt bad calling, didn't want to seem ungrateful, but it never hurts to ask.

-We had no other call, or email. In fact the email from the Royal Genie didn't even mention that we had been upgraded. It was clearly the boiler plate email that goes to guests just before the cruise giving them facts and info, welcoming them aboard.

So, there you have it. Still does happen every now and then. How we got so lucky I have no idea, but I sure know we are going to enjoy the heck out of this cruise now... not that we wouldn't have anyway. ;)

THANK YOU RC

Booked the Dec 2nd 12 nighter today. Was told formal nights on the 2nd, 6th, and 9th nights.

Just booked this cruise today. Last minute, procrastination decision.

While talking to the RC rep and booking she stated St Maartin.

I noticed that although it states St Thomas when you go to try and book excursions it is showing St. Maartin options.

So, not sure at this point, even with the update itinerary email from RC to people. Either way, either island, doesn't matter, can't wait....

Partner and I will be on Oasis Dec 12. Anyone else along for the cruise? Be great to "meet" some people pre-cruise and not wait for the FOD on board. From New Hampshire here. Will be in Ft Laud on Wednesday for a few days before the cruise.

Day 2 and day 6 are the formal nights.

Question for some more seasoned cruisers;

I can book a lost suite on oasis in December for just over

$5000.00 on the eastern rout. I think that is about as low as

I have ever seen. Anyone???? Anyone ever stay up there?

Feedback?

Thanks
