Royal Caribbean Senior Discount
island lady replied to CruiseNerd2123's topic in Royal Caribbean International
IMHO...the really high rates that RCI is charging now, it would go a long way for them to offer regular standard Military and senior discounts as a PR statement. Let's face it....RCI is not intending to lure the seniors much any longer anyway, what with the Mega theme park ships geared for families. And military, police discounts are just a nice thing to do for those that serve. Lowes gets our business over Home Depot. 😉 -
I booked my second Viking cruise, but did not know at the time about the deferred final payment. When I found out about, I asked to have it deferred and was told "Once you agree to the terms.....that's it" Learned from that mistake, so while doing booking #3 I made sure they understood I wanted the deferred final...no problem, easily done. Indeed, if you don't ask....and even worse....if you don't know.

Included air, but will a deviation fee guarantee us non-stop?
island lady replied to dcsam's topic in Viking Ocean
That is what I did as well yesterday. Opted to pay the 150 per person to add on Air Plus, just to get the early ticketing at 274 days out. And even then...half of the seats were already booked. Was worried about that with the longer flight. Yikes...happy I did not wait! Received a great itinerary at 5K less than what I could have booked the same flights myself. -

Just had them ticket my Aussie/NZ B2B. Was all United, and did not ask...it just was offered. Happy about that, as I had her put in my frequent flyer miles, since it is my #1 airline I use for those miles I collect on CC as well. 🙂 -
Royal Caribbean Senior Discount
island lady replied to CruiseNerd2123's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The only discounts we have received is military, and that being more and more rare (shame on that). 😞 Never see any discounts when I put in "senior" or "Florida Resident". I think they are just teasers. 🤑 -
Has anyone gotten a response from AQV to their claim?
island lady replied to windango's topic in American Queen Voyages
I received an email early morning yesterday. Had two forms attached in a link to be filled out, which I did and sent off. In "snail" mail I received that ballot the same day, that was totally different than the claims forms. I sent the two first forms certified with return receipt, which gives me paper trail of when I submitted. Will send the ballot choice out today. I was bullied to pay in full over 19 thousand dollars for my B2B cruise on Empress. Was not happy about doing that, but they insisted I would lose the large promo credit they had given me earlier if I did not. Claimed it was a mistake in the wording online. Should have had enough red flags at that time, but did not listen to them. My huge mistake. My ballot show 12K for the 19 they owe me. Not sure what is up with that. I have a feeling I will never see that money again, but if I get anything at all back, it would be better than nothing I guess. Huge financial hit to pay that much with nothing to show for it. -
A cruise filled with Broadway shows?
island lady replied to deltahog's topic in Royal Caribbean International
While on the World Cruise, especially in the first few weeks, we had way too many Tic Tok types posting wrong and misleading information. Many of them were not on the cruise, and some had never cruised before, but acted like they were on board. There are a few very good ones on board, one being a friend of mine, but too many were way out of line. Did not earn my respect. -

Luggage Tags & Cruise Documents
island lady replied to dedosr's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You will get an email telling you your docs are ready. But I always check at 30 days prior to see if they are available...which I do online. -
Luggage Tags & Cruise Documents
island lady replied to dedosr's topic in Royal Caribbean International
There is no need to print your cruise documents (the ones that are up to 20 pages long). Just print your "set sail" pass...the one with the bar code. Just that single page. And your luggage tags (I use the reusable plastic sleeves, attached with zip ties). Two per bag for me. And has been mentioned...30 days before your cruise embarks you will see those forms. Some will of course chime in to tell you that you don't have to print anything...but I like being prepared with ease of check in having my tags on the bags to hand off to the porters, and my set sail pass snuggled in with my passport book ready to hand over to check in. -
Another tech mistake on Myviking website. Incorrectly showing my air itinerary will be available 84 days prior to cruise...when it is actually 150. Talked to agent yesterday, who indeed confirmed it is a mistake that tech needs to correct. But she could do nothing on her end.

Legend of the Seas (3rd Icon class ship)
island lady replied to PhillyFan33579's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The six ships in the Vision class were a set of three twins. Grandeur and EN were twins, until they cut EN in half and added that middle section (which was a not a great investment for RCI). Rhapsody twin to Vision. Splendor twin to Legend. I miss them all. 😞 But happy to be on a B2B on EN later this year. 🙂 -

Which is kind of nice for us...I don't look good in that life jacket. -
RoyalUp Program worth the stress?
island lady replied to GSgolden11's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That is one of the first things I look at when booking my cabin...what is directly overhead on the above deck. 😮 -

island lady replied to GSgolden11's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You could send your cabin attendant after it....or simply do what you just mentioned, of which IMHO...would be faster. -
I enjoyed my two for one coupons I bought on river cruise Vidar...used for Venus. Wish I had purchased more!

American Queen Voyages takes forever with refunds!
island lady replied to nray's topic in American Queen Voyages
Bullied into paying in full..in advance... for my May B2B cruise a year ago. I am out more than 15K with nothing but lip service on my refund status. I have received more than 20 of the same form letter (both snail mail and email) stating the bankrupt situation. That does nothing to get my refund back.
