Our family cruises once every other year on Royal's new build. We've been waiting for Utopia and like many, couldn't believe Royal planned 3/4 day itineraries. It's too short for us and we don't care to bake on their private island. We cruise to be on the ship The problem in jumping from Royal cruise line is finding staterooms. I understand Royal's categories and where I want to be located on their ships. Princess is so different and I never looked at MSC (which after reading above, I want to look at MSC). How does everyone so easily accomplish going to a differently line and finding cabin locations?

Will utopia have dual home ports? Will it sail and have bookable TA cruises in 2024?

Much appreciated

If I make a specialty dining reservation online, what is the onboard cancellation policy? Is the money refunded, turned into OBC or is it forfeited?

We are sailing out of civi too. What time did boarding start?

Can I request a different deck for MTD? On the app, I've been assign to D3, but prefer the openness of D4/5. Has anyone moved their MTD table to a higher deck?

Sorry, I need to correct my C19 variant. I meant omicron which surged in the US around December. Please do post if anyone knows their recent CoVid variant and if they tested positive again.

For any people who recently came down with CoVid, is this your first time? If not, when did you catch CoVid before? I am wondering about the Delta variant(s) and the rate of reinfections.

And yet royal keeps raising the unlimited beverage package price while knowing there's a supply shortage...

Follow up: Saturday I called at 3p (45m), 6p (1.5h), 8p (1.2h) and 11p (45m), all to no avail. I took the advise here and called early am and surprisingly got through in 5 minutes on Sunday. The whole conversation lasted 5 minutes and I was able to make my cabin location change. Why-oh-why doesn't RCCL have a call-back system?

That's hysterical. I thought the only CSR working at royal was on a 24-hour smoke break. It's good to know I am not alone. Something about misery loves company, but I would love to get thro even more. What is the C&A #? Maybe I will have better luck with that one.

I read about l-o-n-g wait times to call Royal, but I never experienced it. Well, that changed today. I called three times and had to disconnect after one hour. I called at different times, late afternoon, dinnertime and evening, all without success. Does Royal have only one person handling these lines (sarcasm)? Is there a optimal time to call? A optimal day? Just curious, what was your longest call-in wait before connecting with a Royal agent?
