BruinsFan08 Posted May 14, 2016 #2451 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Might be worth checking your luggage tags haven't updated. The original tags only had 4 quadrants. A certain social media site is reporting the tags now have (the correct for Oasis class) 6 quadrants. (Random thought: Is quadrant the correct term for 6 sections? Sexrant? Answers on a postcard.) I just checked. Looks like they updated my check-in time (i never made an appointment), my reservations and beverage packages were added, and the 6 quadrants for the ticket (instead of the 4).

brady.bunch Posted May 14, 2016 #2452 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The new noise - along with the big impact on the views - were the 2 questionable impact points I mentioned months ago. Many debated those, but now it seems in one way or another, both are coming to fruition. The real test will be the first batch of sailings and the passenger feedback. Did I see a boardwalk balcony package that was added at the same time the hub-ub of the abyss came out. Book a BW Balcony and get some free play soda package OBC? Some sort of enticement ...? If I'm anywhere near correct it's showing RCL is showing sensativity to how this is changing the experience overall and wants to keep their BW balcony guests happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boardwalk cabins got a meal at JR and a think a pop sticker. Basically each view got a meal and a drink of some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows they realize some folks will not be happy with the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoamingRetirees Posted May 14, 2016 #2460 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Definitely not the norm. Probably only for the teaser ones in the beginning I think when it does R/T Barcelona with a stop in Rome, folks can board in either Rome or Barcelona. If they only go Rome to Barcelona and debark there, it is a 3 day cruise. Not sure how many of those they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm anywhere near correct it's showing RCL is showing sensativity to how this is changing the experience overall and wants to keep their BW balcony guests happy Hmm, I don't think that the Abyss is the reason for these added amenities/perks. First of all, these added packages do not only apply to BW balconies, but also to CP balconies (albeit the packages are different). Second, these packages are not offerred on sailings before Nov 5 (first Caribbean sailing). And third, the added packages are also given to people booking BW and CP balconies on Oasis and Allure; two ships that do not have the Abyss at all (at least, not already in November - it can always be added later of course).

Steeler Nation At Sea Posted May 14, 2016 #2462 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I don't think the three night cruises get this do they? The only restriction I have seen is that it doesn't begin until Nov. 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaPalms Posted May 14, 2016 #2463 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The only restriction I have seen is that it doesn't begin until Nov. 6th. Actually, Eat-Drink-Play begins Nov. 5th for Harmony and Oasis and Nov. 6th for Allure. http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Oasis/16048926_OA_Balcony_Recat_Trade_Flyer.pdf I don't know if they can squeeze in all those eligible for free Jamie's lunches on the 3-day Nov. 5th Harmony - it will be interesting. I plan to reserve as soon as I'm onboard. ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they only go Rome to Barcelona and debark there, it is a 3 day cruise. Not sure how many of those they are doing. Nope, you can´t book Rome to Barcelona only. The Harmony arrives on June 5th in Barcelona. Then there´s a 2 night pre inaugural for invited guests only. June 7th there´s a 5 night cruise. Beginning June 12th there are only 7 night cruises. There´s only one 3 night cruise from Civitavecchia to Barcelona on Oct. 20th til 23rd prior to the TA. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moqui_girl Posted May 14, 2016 #2465 Share Posted May 14, 2016 One RC promo video filmed at night does not mean that it will running into the late evening hours. In all honesty the boardwalk has never been a quiet place. Between JR, the carousel, the kids play stations on the port side, the extra noise when Rita's had the Fiesta Party and the sea day when they have the kids afternoon play day of games, worlds sexiest man, belly flop competition, rock climbing walls, sail away part, ballon animals and face painting has always existed with noise. As for evening noise there is is the obvious Aqua Threatre shows late run to about 10:30, the movies and sports shown in the AT, sometimes live music and occasionally day time events are continued into the evening and the carousel is a prime example. A Central Park balcony is quieter but all you need is the wrong guest in there and the noise will echo up. At least the plants have sound adsorption properties. On our 3 day sailing the aqua show is on at least one night starting at 11pm so won't be done much before midnight! The noise from this or the Abyss won't bother me at all. If I thought it would I move to a another part of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
