I think I'll hit the web cam. Didn't realize what time it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTownNick Posted June 22, 2014 #106 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It is a full ship charter. http://www.maxwellatsea.com/ __________________ Wow. What an overpriced cruise. I am not sure why people would want to book THAT cruise through the private site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted June 22, 2014 #108 Share Posted June 22, 2014 There were over 1000 Rocky and the Rollers on board as well as several shag groups. They had the entire dining room for early seating, so everyone else had to do late seating. We and many others who had reserved early seating were not informed until we boarded the ship and found a note in our cabin saying we had late seating. MTD was only available after 8 PM. The Ice Show time we had reserved was cancelled so "they" could have their "Prom" or a concert at that time. The upper tier Cocktail Party was changed to 10 AM at the same time as the CC Meet and Mingle as the groups were using all the large venues at the usual RCCL times for their meetings and parties. So those of us who were upper tier members and CC members had to choose between the two parties and cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were not served at 10 AM. I could go on, but this gives you an idea. They got priority on everything and there were a lot of unhappy passengers on board.I will do my best to never sail again with a large organized group. Cheryl What your describing is why I was glad that the May 3, 2015 FR cruise was totally booked by a group and we were cancelled out for that sailing. We won't have to deal with a big group and we got $400 onboard credit. We have sailed with a 1/2 ship charter and what your describing is what we were subjected to. It was on Celebrity in the 1990's before RCCL bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have done the same thing and told RCI why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted June 22, 2014 #110 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Wow. What an overpriced cruise. I am not sure why people would want to book THAT cruise through the private site.I could not believe prices either -- more than $7K for a JS. This is the cruise that our May 3, 2015 FR was cancelled for. Was glad it was a full ship charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counsdr Posted June 22, 2014 #111 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Rocky has cruises booked for the Feb 1st and 8th sailings. I hope you are free and clear by Feb 22!!!!! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted June 22, 2014 #112 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Rocky has cruises booked for the Feb 1st and 8th sailings. I hope you are free and clear by Feb 22!!!!! Cheryl Double Checked the Rocky and The Rollers Rockin' The Caribbean Cruise and they are not showing Feb. 22, 2015 as an option only Feb. 1 and 8, 2015. While I was waiting for the Re-booking desk to re-book our Jan. 25, 2015 cruise, I did check out Feb. 8 and there was not a lot of availability and it was not even offered by the re-booking desk. From descriptions earlier, the Rollers cruises look like they may be 1/2 ship charters. I see that we have a Quilters Group onboard for Feb. 22. Has anyone sailed with that group? Is it large etc.?

counsdr Posted June 22, 2014 #113 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yes, they were also on my Feb 9, 2014 cruise!!! There were only about 100 of them. They were very nice, polite, and caused no problems what so ever!!! I think they met in a business conference room. I had planned to book on the Jan 25th cruise, but it was closed, so I was going to book on the Feb. 22nd cruise, but my DSIL couldn't get off from work that week. Hopefully, March 8th will work out OK!! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax129 Posted June 22, 2014 #114 Share Posted June 22, 2014 How do I find out if there are any big groups on my next sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 22, 2014 #115 Share Posted June 22, 2014 How do I find out if there are any big groups on my next sailing? Not foolproof, but you can try an internet search using the full name of the ship and various forms of the sailing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax129 Posted June 22, 2014 #116 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks, just googled & didn't see anything. Our last cruise we had the Detroit Lions Cheerleaders but they were great and joined the roll call before hand. Plus there were only about 35 people in their group & they were in uniform & on their best behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counsdr Posted June 23, 2014 #120 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Jax129, I googled Rocky and the Rollers; 50's-60's cruise groups; and any other group I could find. They seem to book thru AAA, so maybe they would let you know if they have any groups you could cruise with!!! I also went on the CC special interest group threads looking for groups on my sailing. I think i'm OK!!!!! Good luck to you!!!!!! Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
