Yes, both my wife and I have done this a few times.  We get it for the speciality coffees and freshly squeezed OJ.  Most servers will charge to the package first, but we normally point it out in a pleasant way. Works well for us as my wife only has a couple of drinks at night.  For myself, I’ll buy some buckets of beer during the day to supplement.  Overall still much more economical for us in the long run over the full package.   Enjoy!

Guest services refused to reprogram ours on Oasis 1/2/22 cruise.  I’ll still bring them again on our Symphony cruise in April. 

Just to add my experience.  I had booked a 2-Bedroom Grand Suite (GT) on the Allure for spring break 2022.  After I booked that, I went to add the connecting Ocean View Balcony, but they weren't booking them due to the halting of the Spa Cabins category.  Therefore, I booked my kids in a Central Park Balcony across the hall.  We got moved to the Liberty into another GT on Deck 8 in the AFT, while my boys were moved to an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 12.

Once I got the updated email that we could change to any Caribbean 7 day cruise, I call on June 12th and spent 2.5 hours with Royal Caribbean.  Went through the whole check, double check, triple check with resolutions.  Ultimately, got assigned a GT on Symphony for the same week - 1 of only 4 cabins in that category on the ship.  Was excited and tired and had to get back to work, so decided to hold off switching kids cabin until following week.  I had my cruise vacation receipt in hand with the new sailing.

Well, on June 17th, called in again to get kids cabin moved over to Symphony, but when looking up my Suite reservation the agent noticed I was back on the Liberty ! ! ! ! !   After lots of going back and forth, finally got the suite reassigned to the Symphony, as the other 3 were not available.  Got moved to Deck 9. 

Since I have minor kids, they must be in adjacent cabin or across the all.  The two adjacent cabins are also suites - no go for me!  Additionally, Deck 9 do not have Central Park balconies, but rather interior windows.  After additional authorizations, finally got a Central Park Interior View cabin assigned & price protected.  Generally, an interior would be less expensive, but the current rate difference was about $100, and my original price on the Allure was significantly less.  Minor inconvenience to have the kids in an interior as long as us adults still have the 2 bedroom suite.

So, takeaway is that yes with some patience, you can get where you want, but be prepared for time on the phone and monitor your bookings even after it all seems confirmed.

If it's only $41...it's a sale.

Ok thanks

$55 to $41...:):):):) Jumped on it!!!!

Are you seeing an ‘sale’ discount? Or is it simply just a lower price without any indication that normal price is higher? I see $41 in my planner, but it doesn’t indicate it is on ‘sale.’

Glomming on to this post, my daughter and I will be doing a sushi making class next week while on the Harmony ... I can only assume the class will be held at Izumi. These classes are definitely fun, and my 11 y/o is jumping out of her skin with excitement.

We took the sushi making class last April on the Harmony, and it was in Izumi. Loads of fun. I do recommend to arrive early to get best choice of seats. Also - don’t go to the buffet before the class! Our table mates did and then were too full to even try their creations!

My nephew and I are taking the tour on the Navigator at the end of March. To prepare, would anyone have some suggested questions I can raise during the tour? I'm a typical just listen and enjoy guy, but I'd like to have some questions ready, and maybe give them to my nephew to ask. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
