Ken at the beach

As Biker mentioned, no worries. They were actually so far ahead there was talk at one point that sailings would be added to the schedule before the 27th

Checked a bunch of sailings and if they are there they are there for nearly all categories. Not a substantial amount of savings. in most cases for suites it was less than $100pp savings. Great if you were going to book anyway but your not going to find that amazing deal that you can't pass up buried in a F&F rate

Just checked and the F&F rates do not combine with anything,. No Balcony, no seniors, no resident etc. Really in the vast majority of cases they only benefit new cruisers who aren't eligible for any other discount. I just checked out a bunch and rates with a couple of other discounts were quite a bit less than the F&F rates. By the time they get to the point of having to blow out cabins they are already offering resident and seniors as well as other discounts. Not the deals that many think there are.

I'll have to check but I believe you are correct.

Yes. The app is not correct / or list everything until you board the ship

There are other categories in addition to the insides. Seems like nearly everytime I check the F&F rates were higher than the website pricing

I don't believe the St Maarten port stop is valid. Probably a placeholder. She certainly isn't visiting St Maarten as part of her TA and it's unlikely they are starting off with the 11/12 day itineraries in November from Bayonne

We are a fan of the bigger Roysl ships so E class would probably be the best fit for us. We slso rarely use the balcony but like having the natural light and fresh air at times. For me it gives me a nice space to set up my portable office on board.

Look at 2024's TA snd expect something very similar.

$300 obc for a one week cruise inca full suite. Full deposit now required for suites.

Nothing specific yet. Just nice to hear impressions of the infinite verandah...seems to get a lot of negative reviews.

The world would be a much better place if everyone had your outlook on life.

That's unfortunate. Yours can't be the only wheelchair they dropped off, wonder if guest services can help co ordinary sharing a charger with another guest. Will you travel either your own chair for your next trip?

Glad to hear thst the third call went better. Hopefully they followed through and you are all set

Great to hear your thoughts on both the ship and balcony. I booked the Apex about a month ago for a Norway cruise. This will be our first on X.

St Kitts. It was our first cruise with the kids in 2011 and my daughter was 10 at the time. We were walking on the beach and my daughter looked at me and said "we should make this our usual beach" I told her to marry someone rich or get a really good job. Strangely enough more than 30 cruises later we have not been back there.

That is what we initially though as both of our kids are not that adventurous. We made early reservations so that id we were still hungry we would still have time to hit the WJ. Never needed to, more than enough to eat.

It is called dynamic pricing. Royal will charge the most that they can for it.

You must wait until you are on board. That is the tradeoff for paying a reduced rate as opposed to buying individually.

Have not seen the 10 drink card offered in a long time

The ship that home ports there will use Terminal 1

On Quantum class and Oasis class the balcony cabins alternate between having the bed located closer to the balcony and the sofa near the bath and having the bed near the bath and the sofa near the balcony. For come it makes a difference

Located in Sorento's, Windjammer and El Loco Fresh. Need the cup

That only applies to ssilings prior to final payment. They are now in a penalty phase as they are after final payment. If it was before final it would only be $100 per person, not $200

Tell your waiter you need to be out by xx:xx. We never spent more than 45 minutes for dinner on our last cruise.
