  1. Flights out of Toronto have been cheaper than those out of Buffalo for the past 6 to 9 months. The days of cheap flights out of Buffalo seem to be gone.
  2. Hoping it's ready, we are on the Odyssey over Christmas....we could be one of the first ones.
  3. Flights out there are a killer and while I will drive to Florida I do have my limits....
  4. While they said in time for Icon I expect that they will be pushing hard for mid December to capitalize on the Holiday season.
  5. Yes general access Coco Cay adults will be complimentary however they will make sure there are lots of things for you to spend money on in there.
  6. I would say that is just a copy / paste error either on this ship or on Wonder. They could easily have incorrectly copied Wonders suites from Symphony incorrectly.
  7. Its the Immersive dining experience that replace the Hibachi on deck 4. I believe that the walls are TV's and you are transported through different countries and each course is reflective of that country.
  8. Take a look at balcony cabins on the smaller ships and you will find that by and large they are significantly more than the larger ships. The smaller ships have very few balconies and they command a hefty premium
  9. And that deck plans and itineraries were already leaked. They didn't even confirm that itineraries would be released next week.
  10. The 18th was a test load. Itineraries are supposed to be released next week
  11. Old info. Royal is horrible at updating previously published information.
  12. Royal has said in the past C&A members had exclusive early access. All that meant was they received an e mail that sailings were open for booking but in reality anyone could book and the e mail to the generdl public went out 2 days later. I have never seen "true" exclusive access.
  13. Why does that not surprise me. SMH. Royal needs to start having their employees read CC to stay up to date.
  14. While that may be true depending on cabin location in relation to the parents if they call Royal to remove the cousin ahead of time but if the cousin is a no show at the pier then they will be fine as once on board no one cares and worst case scenario is the child sleeps on the couch Also, there are several travel agents that post on CC and a whole lot of posters that know a whole lot more than many of the travel agents out there so asking here is a great place to turn for advice.
  15. If you have the dining package it is 4, otherwise it should be the 8
  16. Heard there was some TA on FB advertising this as the inaugural, I guess they blocked a group and are promoting it...they are going to have a few upset people if anyone believes them.
  17. That's a 2C large balcony. They are always priced way more than the cheaper balcony that initially shows up which would be the CP. 4D are reasonably priced in groups and would be around $1100 taxes in with a D+ discount.
  18. It was listed and labeled as "unknown cabin category" the first time I went in. When I went back to grab screenshoys it was gone. It was priced between the 2 different 2 bedroom aquatheatre suites, around the $5100 price.
  19. Definitely the demand forces. Even Icon started out at the same rates for her first sailing and very quickly went up.
  20. Group space was also available for TA's to block for balconies and below at even better rates
  21. Yes, they are the actual pricing. Don't forget, this is November. Low season. July will be higher.
  22. Fastest growing market is the short cruises. Higher on board spend as well. Royal is just following the money.
