Ken at the beach

I know from your previous posts that is how you thought. Many other I think read far to much into his comments.

LOL, There were a couple nights that we used way more than our daily vouchers

Slept through any excursions so far?🤣

I think that one of 2 things are happening since the initial projections of her being ready late summer allowing for that option. 1. They know it is delayed and are planning on starting sailing in January and given the weather it doesn't matter what he promised...maybe there will be a couple of 2 day trade event sailings but that's it 2. They are not 100% certain on the delivery date so they are releasing itineraries starting in January and once a delivery date is confirmed fall itineraries may be released. While what you said was correct Mr. Bayley never said how many or how long the itineraries would be. I suspect that by make her debut there would have only been a couple of media / trade event sailings to introduce her and not actual revenue sailings

Deck 3 down to deck 2

TA's have a webinar at 3pm this afternoon on all the different room categories

When the balcony is open you lose all air conditioning from the room. One person can't go out and sit on the balcony in the morning while the other person sleeps.

You'ree forgetting the robe, coffeemaker and the different colored seapass card🤣

So do Toby and Vikki. The amount of complaining on Ovation......

TA's associated with larger companies will have groups on close to 75% of sailings...more on the larger ships and slightly less on the smaller ones

TA's should be able to check any FCC as long as you have the certificate number

If they have the blocks available on the ship then you have the choice. I have received 5 on board ships this year

There is nothing there other than a generic title page that looks as if it could have been created a year ago

And its already been pulled

FYI You can transfer the next cruise certificate over and book at regular rates. After that you can transfer it to the group and have it repriced to the group rate. The booking will still stay non refundable but you keep the next cruise OBC and of course the $200 you initially paid for the deposit although you will have to increase the deposit to the full deposit amount. Group bookings do not allow for the reduced deposit amounts and must be increased.

It's true

Booking a next cruise on board is no different than booking directly through Royal and follows the same published guidelines. They did not feel the need to specifically include the terms with the next cruise certificate.

You have 30 days to transfer the booking

Wow, she has been running me so ragged getting this, getting that doing this, that I haven't even had time to post an update on here. So far behind in this thread that I doubt I'll be able to catch up. Just kidding. She is actually doing amazing and will be returning back to work next week if all goes well at her Dr's appointment tomorrow. The last time she was there he said that she could start putting weight on it and after a couple days she was walking without crutches...just the air cast. She has actually felt guilty about taking the time off but there is a big difference between one or 2 thousand steps a day with lots of rest during the day and doing 10 to 12 thousand steps a day without a break and having to move at a quicker pace. Busy here having our backyard redone....just waiting for a dry day now for the polymeric sand and they are done. Photos once it's all complete.

Apparemntly its now Thursday the 20th...yet another change in the release. I would guess bookings will not open until the following week

There are several. Use the app and look at the different bar menus

100% capacity is based on double occupancy. Prior to the shutdown Royal was closer to 115% capacity

If your TA booked the cruise you are sailing on it will go directly to them. If you booked yourself then it will go to you and you can transfer it to them. I personally do not find the Next cruise certificates unless you are in a suite to be of value as they are non refundable and your TA most likely has cheaper refundable group rates with early booking OBC that offsets the Next cruise OBC.

Same answer as you received on our roll call yesterday

Drinks have increased and so have the amounts covered. Many posts sbout this including the D letters showing drinks up to $14 covered
