I feel sorry for those low paid workers but you would like to think that they all could get on the same page. I had 3 rcl reps in a row tell me solo cabins were a glitch. They dont exist. Luckily by 3rd rep I'd had Ken posting here telling me yes they do exist and told her where to look on deck plans. She worked for 5 years with crown and anchor she proudly told me. Good thing we have ken here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max and Ruby Posted October 20, 2020 #407 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I just had a question on exclusions. My July 2021 cruise that I just booked with a travel agent is a refundable "group rate" category 4D for 2 balcony rooms. I thought I read no double points for "group rates". Am I correct or have it wrong? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so much information out there, I rely on CC and it's members with vast experience of how things work in cruising not only from a travel perspective which @Ourusualbeach has, to engineering which @chengkp75 has, to @John&LaLa, @twangster, @Ocean Boy, @Biker19, @Milwaukee Eight and many more from personal experience. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunks Posted October 20, 2020 #410 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I must really be dumb. I am so dumb that I dont understand the confusion. What I saw was the banner saying double points on all 2021 sailings.I saw nothing about existing bookings -vs-new bookings. Therefore, dumb as I am I assume all bookings are included.I saw nothing about single bookings, suites, etc, so I revert back to the term "double points". Here is how I see it 1 x2 = 2 2 x 2 =4 Whatever points I would have gotten I expect to be doubled......simple. Of course the fly in to ointment is if all 2021 bookings are canceled. That would leave us wih this: 2 x 0 =0 4 x 0 = 0 etc. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted October 20, 2020 #411 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I think we can all agree that the communications regarding this promo is a text book example of how things should NOT be done when dealing with your loyal guests who are keeping the ship afloat!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal’s reps yesterday morning were telling people that the double points was only on the base points and not the bonus point. it has now all been clarified and it is double on the total points you would have received. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result we should be Diamond+ on our late 2021 cruises. We are looking forward to the extra perks. Yep. Lots of new D+ in 2021. 2021, the year of the PLUS. 😂 I’m sure that will make a few here happy. 😇 M8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our TA is very good and responsive. M8 All suites sold out very suddenly on several cruises. I was looking forward to trying a hump since never had one but was looking at js, all suites sold out now on my only cruise next year booked with rcl before xmas ... though I'd be up for another. But because of my age didnt want to rush it. One ccl cruise in sept 2021 to work around. That price seems stuck. Never changes, always says same 30% off sale forever. Rcl prices seem up and down, and now balconys and up all went up. Everyone wants fresh air is my guess during covid. But I'd be up for another...just want to see how first cruises go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mis-information is still rampant on Social Media. The blog finally has the correct information. i received a direct reply on twitter asking specifically and pointed out that reps had given out both 3 and 4 points per night for suite guests and was told 4. You can search Royal Caribbean on twitter and look under tweeters and replies. there will always be wrong information on social media. At some point you need to determine what couple Sources of information you are going to trust and ignore the rest.
