  1. Happy anniversary. You can never go wrong with a dinner at the Keg or not removing pictures of it when quoting.
  2. Depends on the ship. Ovation did not have a priority area other than Star class that I saw
  3. Sure he can. I've had the same guest on two different reservation until well into final payment period while their kid decided what friend they were bringing.
  4. Correct, TA's can't see a room before the guest in the app. They are fed from the same field so we see them at the same time
  5. Not letting you know the room number prevents a couple possibilities - you switching to a different room - you getting a price drop (CWC) on the newly assigned catgeory
  6. Royals site has never shown every available room. I am a TA and have access to the booking site that shows more cabins than Royals site yet even it will not show cabins that Revenue has held back for various reasons
  7. There are pretty much always rooms available that are not listed on the website
  8. If they did it was a mistake and they are probably keeping quiet
  9. Going to give that a try in November
  10. You would lose any OBC that was promotional with the original booking but you would keep your next cruise OBC
  11. The OBC is great for the longer cruises of you are in a suite or a longer sailing
  12. I guess that's a perk of booking through a TA. Refundable rates at a cost that is less than Royal's refundable rates.
  13. The biggest downside to next cruise bookings is that they are non refundable deposits.
  14. Never had to pay the increased deposit for a price drop on a Next cruise booking
  15. That's the first I have heard of this. May want to delay unpacking if this starts to happen
  16. Up to final payment yes you can still get price drops. The best price guarantee really only refers to bookings that are made after final payment
  17. It is the cruise fare only which excludes the taxes and fees as well as another cost that most guests never see called the NCCF (non commissionable cruise fare) which can range from $25 to $40 per person per day that Royal does not pay commission on. On a 7 day cruise on an Oasis class ship deduct another $250 from the total cruise fare to account for the NCCF
  18. Def leopard tribute band was great. Shows were good but I didn't find them as good as OA class. Better than other classes
  19. I've seen this vary by ship with my kids. Both are over 18 yet they get the youth letter in their room. On some ships they have been able to get the free Diamond photo and others they haven't. Don't really pay attention to any of the other coupons as they only use the drinks which are not an issue. My wife just likes to use their free photo.
