Just made a great upgrade. We have a casino comped room on Liberty for 2 Sept. and were able to upgrade our JS to an OS for $498 total. First really GOOD discount we've had in a while.

 

Only 1 thing concerns me at the moment. I asked the agent to be sure and include the upgraded grats in with the room upgrade charge. She told me (twice) that I would only be charged grats on the original booking rate (JS) and I KNOW that's wrong. I told her I would be very unhappy if I get a surprise bill onboard and she assured me I would not...but I am very skeptical.

 

I won't really complain though, even if we do get charged additional for the grats. The upgrade was such a great deal. The suites on this sailing have been sold out for weeks and it only popped up this morning. It was the very LAST room on the ship. All other categories are sold out.

 

YIPPEE !!

That's great!

 

I did a similar upgrade (JS -> OS), although I paid the going rate for it (~$3,000 for a 7-night cruise on Harmony of the Seas). My booking predates the most recent gratuity increase and has the option to prepay gratuities any time before sailing at 2017's rates.

 

I asked my travel agent to arrange prepayment of the gratuities, and despite being in an owner's suite, I was only charged $13.50/day (last year's non-suite rate).

 

Slightly more interesting, I just added a third person to the booking yesterday. The TA added prepaid gratuities for them as well, also at the $13.50/day rate.

Looks like Royal is having difficulty selling out Vision Panama Canal cruises (2). Got comp offer for either or (15 days each) and several others.

Yes, I just got that reminder email to book my comp balcony on one of those cruises. I decided on October on Harmony, but paid to upgrade to a Junior suite. No other suites available except for Star Class at $7,000 per person!

I saw this on an email offer yesterday as well. Looks like both the eastbound and westbound have balconies available. Surprised.

Does anyone know if the casino is open when the ship is docked at Coco Cay? Vickie

 

Saw your question and was thinking the answer was yes but decided to try and confirm since we will be stopping there in October. Looked at some recent Cruise Compass scans people have posted and confirmed on some (most? all?) stops at CocoCay the casino does open. Adventure was there 8/6/18 9AM to 6PM and casino was scheduled to open at 1PM. Mariner was there 8/4/18 7AM - 5PM and slots scheduled to open at 10AM with tables at 1PM. Enchantment on 7/26/18 compass had same schedule as Mariner. Not being a beach person, guess I can sleep in, catch a brunch, and hit the UTH table at 1PM on the CocoCay day. George

I am wondering if anyone has experience with booking the internet with their Prime status. I understand that we get a 30% discount onboard. I usually buy internet in advance so I am unsure of the pricing on the ship. Which is the better deal, advance purchase or onboard? Thanks for the help :)

Following this topic closely. Just came back from the Oasis (Sept. 2-9) and earned a free inside or 500$ discount. I was told that my prime tier is reached and valid until 3/20. I'm a Canadian citizen and was told to wait for an email while they are verifying my eligibility for the Prime annual complimentary cruise. Should hear back from them within 3-5 business days. By Friday, I will call them back if no email is received. The plan is to combine both offers and book B2B cruises sailing end of March. As for internet, we took the internet on day 3 (offered at 17,99 per day) and received both our diamond discount (19.95$) and the Prime discount 30%. If we would have take it ahead with the cruise planner offer included in the deluxe beverage (combined to Voom), it would have been cheaper at an extra 8$ per day.

What are your experiences with URComped and MSC? Maybe considering giving a try with MSC.

I was told that any points earned from April 1, 2018-March 31,2019 were for your tier benefits valid for April 1, 2019-March 31, 2020. So your would not be prime until April 1, 2019.

Haven't been on MSC yet, but URComped is fantastic, just upload your best recent offer and voila you'll have more offers than you know what to do with.
