Royal Calling me?

I got a call once asking me to change cabins to accommodate a family with minor children.  Actually I missed the call but got a voice mail.  Offered me $150 OBC.  I said “Sure!”  Might be good to answer the call.  

They didn't leave a message. 😞

That's a significant difference from the OP's experience.

I really don't understand why people avoid answering the phone.

Got it.  My point was that sometimes Royal calls for good things — not telling you your trip has been cancelled. 😁

Not only do I not log in, I only use Chrome Incognito to check. 😉

I was doing that and then I would get an email... "Did you mean to pass this up? Take another look" 
I thought being Incognito would help... but it don't

usually it is a spam phone call.. and if I don't know the number I won't answer.. if it is important than they will leave a message.

If you're convinced it's RCCL calling and you have any current reservations, why not just answer the phone?

[MaryEBS]

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.

I didn't know at the time.. I had to do a reverse search of the phone number to figure out who it was.

The frustrating thing is many of the scammers will leave a message also.  😞

There are also ones that have your first three numbers after the local area code...called "neighborhood" scams.  They are trying to fool you into thinking one of your local neighbors are calling you.  😈

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

To many annoying calls trying to sell us something.

Our thoughts exactly. If they can't bother to leave a message then it's not important.

Well, if you had answered the phone, like I do, all of us wouldn't be entertained by this thread. 😉

I got a call today and the caller id said it was me and it had my home phone number.
