Actually I missed the call but got a voice mail. Offered me $150 OBC. I said “Sure!” Might be good to answer the call.

My point was that sometimes Royal calls for good things — not telling you your trip has been cancelled. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouhunter Posted August 1, 2019 #32 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If you're convinced it's RCCL calling and you have any current reservations, why not just answer the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryEBS Posted August 1, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It would be very unusual for RCI to call from a Fort Lauderdale number. Most of their calls are from 888 or 866 numbers. The upsell fairy was 866. Any calls coming directly from their headquarters would come from Miami with a 305 area code. My cell phone area code is 954 (Ft.Lauderdale) I get calls with spoofed telephone numbers displaying 954 area codes all the time. I would pick up next time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can code a BS robo emailer, why can't they code the damn website!! 5 hours ago, John&LaLa said: Never Some days I answer just to have some fun... After my father passed, we had my parents phone number FWD to me so my mom didn't have to talk to people when she wasn't ready. About a year later I answered the phone from my parents area code. I was in one of those moods... He asked for my father. I said he isn't available yadda yadda... The guy said my father was in LAST WEEK and the man wasn't at his desk. I played along for awhile and then I finally said, did anyone tell you how my father looked? I would have thought after being dead for a year he wouldn't be able to walk so good, but if he does come back to your office, will you please let him know we all miss him. That poor guy, he apologized, said this is the script we are given to say. I swear I could hear him poop his pants. When I told my sisters they said I am just like him!! He would do crap like that to idiot callers too lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
