Ourusualbeach Posted August 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just received this for a cruise on Mariner. Dear Travel Partner, We wanted to let you in on a little secret: there's something special in the works for your clients! The thing is, even the best surprises take time to plan. So, beginning tomorrow, August 7th, 2019, you won't have access to your clients' reservation while we work our behind-the-scenes magic to completely ramp up the WOW-factor on their vacation. Once we're done, we'll let you in on the secret and share when you and your clients can view their reservation, book shore excursions, plus anything else that'll make their vacation extraordinary! Please share this information with your clients. Thank you for your support and partnership. We can't wait to share the exciting news. Trust us, your clients are going to love it! Sincerely, Aurora Yera-Rodriguez Director of Guest Services Royal Caribbean International Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegirl1 Posted August 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We got the same letter this morning. I’m sure that whatever it is, it will “enhance“ our cruise experience, reduce current benefits and cost lots of money! m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourusualbeach Posted August 6, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Since it applies only to Mariner sailings after March or April 2020 I’m wondering if it is related to CocoCay and possible overnights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Cay would impact more than just Mariner, though. At the very least I'd expect Navigator to have the same change if it was Coco Cay related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just on the “Book of Faces”, I follow several RC ship groups. No mention of this on the Navigator site, but lots of discussion about this on the Mariner page. So you may be right on target that they are testing something with Mariner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that they are doing random testing with some getting the e mail and others not. I wonder if there is a mix of 4 day and 3 day cruises or if it’s all one. Yours is a 4 day as was both my clients. Edited August 6, 2019 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the real appeal is to RCI for not having to burn up fuel to move the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
