Oh wow! Can you imagine? Yes I will be looking for another Celebrity cruise in the future. We set sail on Oasis this Sunday! Can't wait 😁 Thanks for all your info! -
Back to Back with Guarantees?
bluewater1298 replied to mspmcpie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I booked a GTY balcony on a cruise two weeks ago for January 2025 and had my assigned room two days later. It happened the same way last summer when I booked for this April. I can't say it happens with everyone, but it has for me. -

I'm not saying this will happen for you, but the last two cruises I booked with Royal, which were GTY rooms, they assigned my room number in just a few day after booking. One cruise was over 300 days out. As soon as you get your room assignment, you can call and change your room number to any available in that category. What I do is a mock booking to see what rooms are available in my category and then call and ask them to switch my room to the one I prefer. If you're LUCKY and get your rooms assigned quickly, you may be able to find a room that is available on both cruises and have them switched. But that's still a big IF. Hope it works out for you! -

Thank you for your honest review. Even though I enjoyed sailing along, I agree, I would probably not choose this ship. I did enjoy our sailing on Reflection and would do another one on her or the Edge class. To be honest, if the itinerary was good, I would sail on Celebrity again just to enjoy Al Bacon 🤣 Thank you again! Hope you have a beautiful Easter! Until we sail again..... -

I know! We need to do better at coordinating our sailings. 😂 Seriously though, I don't think your followers can wait that long for another review. Hopefully, living Florida you'll catch a good deal soon. And please, please let me know! It's such a joy to sail along with you! -

We'll be sailing on Harmony that same week but in a different direction. Hope you find something sooner. Don't work too hard. -

Yes! I'm interested in how the shuttle back to the hotel was. Would you recommend doing it that way instead of parking at the cruise terminal? And please let me know when you sail again! After our cruise in April, we have several land vacations scheduled so I probably won't be lurking on these boards until the fall. Thank you again for wonderful review and for all the food pictures...especially at Al Bacon! Take care! -
Recent Experiences with E Gift Certificates
bluewater1298 replied to CookieDiva's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I'm sure they will refund it in some way. I have added OBC from my points through my visa rewards card and what I didn't spend they credited it back to the credit card they had on file....which wasn't the rewards card. Unless OBC is listed as nonrefundable then they have to refund what is unused. If you're the one adding the OBC then it should be refundable. -

Any unused OBC will be refunded to the credit card on file. So don't feel like you need to spend it all. -

Thank you for a wonderful review and letting us sail along! Safe travels to your mom's house and then on to yours. Like I always tell my children (who are your age) "Let me know when you get there!" -

I guess you can say your last day onboard is interesting. I'm sorry you haven't enjoyed smooth sailing. Hope your mother is doing ok. -

I hope you find a good deal before Sept. I have become addicted. You even got me out of lurk mode. 😜 This is really sad. 🥲 I still laugh 😂 about how we met when boarding the Reflection and I didn't know it was "Mr Live Review" himself I was talking to. I have to say you're a stand up guy in person and also in your reviews. Glad to know you! -

Thanks! Can't wait to get there! It's such a beautiful place.
