I am leaving on the Magic in three weeks with that itinerary and am booked on the same itinerary on the Vista for next October! But if I had to choose between the two, extra ship time would win for me...Magic!

I so enjoyed your review of your cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on FOS. We will have the same itinerary leaving on April 1, 2017 and this is our first cruise with Royal Caribbean. Thank you for taking time to share your adventures with us.

How long have you waited for a response? I submitted mine, and haven't heard, it hasn't been that long, but wondered what the average was. It says you will hear within 48 hours, and I'm past that.

Enjoying your review so far!! We sail on her for Christmas, and I can't wait! Your pictures at Cucina make me want to book it. We've had lunch there on the Breeze but never dinner. Can't wait to read more!

not having to be asked once "what are we doing for dinner?"

It's not past final payment. Are there penalties to cancel?

How do price changes work on Royal? We normally cruise Carnival, and I'm aware of how those work, depending on the rate you book. But I keep seeing the price of my cruise go down in my category. When I ask my TA about it, she always says that is for new bookings only. Is this true? Or are you ever eligible for price drops?

How do I find the contact info for the maitre d on the Magic? I tried mamaitred@carnival.com and it came back to me.

We've done one Disney cruise and three carnival and have two more booked on Carnival. We are Disney people generally. My husband and I got married there, and we are drinkers of Mickey's kool aid. HOWEVER, we have actually enjoyed our Carnival cruises much better! My son was 10 on our Disney cruise, and he didn't like the kids club! He's over the characters, and the rest of it is nice, but certainly NOT enough to justify two to three times the cost. We actually found the food better on Carnival, and our servers on Disney (Fantasy), weren't all that great. We also weren't overly thrilled with the shows. not that we think those are much better on Carnival, we just didn't think they were as great as everyone makes them out to be. I think what we like about Carnival is that there is no pretension. They are who they are, laid back, just have fun. There's none of the "we are Disney, so we must be better" kind of attitude. It was relaxing! now, I will say, there is no comparing the ships. Disney ships themselves are beautiful, and the detail is great. But...once I see it, the rest doesn't matter. I thought the pools were entirely too small, and I would rather have a waterpark like on the Breeze than have an aquaduck. That's a one and done for me. I would rather go on three Carnival cruises for the cost of one Disney any day!! But...to each his own. Only you will know what you prefer! That's why there are so many ships....something for everyone!

I will get it replaced, it is just managing to do it in time, as both my husband and I have to go to the passport office to do it.

I remember seeing something about passport expirations but can't remember or find it. My son's passport will expire in May. We are taking a cruise in December. Will he be ok if something happens? Six months sticks in my head as a bar date?

Thank you! I now have $200 OBC!

I know there are threads on this, and I have read them, but I'm having a hard time getting my head to understand.

I booked an early saver rate. If I see a price change, is the new rate given and I am no longer an early saver? Today is final payment date for my cruise. And there is a price drop. So wondered if by changing my rate today, do I lose price protection through cruise date?

cache clearing hasn't worked for me. :( I'll try some of the other suggestions.

I can get it on my phone, but not my laptop. Weird. Even tried a different browser!

Has anyone been able to log on to the website in the last two days? I just get a 'we are on vacation" screen. I assume this is Matthew related? I had a price drop come up and then couldn't get on after I tried to contact my TA, and now...no go!

Oh you can get them through Raise, verizon, swagbucks, all kinds of places you can get them discounted. But they have to be used on NEW, NON travel agent reservations.....which doesn't help me right now.

Do these exist? Ones that will work to pay your balance on your cruise? on our Carnival cruises, I have been able to get gift cards at a discount to save some money on our cruise. This will be our first one on RCI, so not sure if this is a possibility. Every place I would normally find them have restrictions on them, so I can't use them to pay final balance, and since I booked through a TA.

Looks like we were actually able to book 7408, I think this is the same room on the other side. Woo Hoo!

yeah, i read that, but wasn't sure if it meant only the third pullman. guess it does. not sure if my son will like that, but i want this balcony!

we are looking at this room and can't tell if there is only a pull down bed or if the couch turns into a bed too. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Kim, for another fantastic review!!! Your reviews are always a go to for me when planning!!
