Enchantment of the Seas Simulation Cruise 12/11/21

[CFIGuy]

Anyone received an invite yet for this? And for those of you who have participated in simulation cruises on other ships, please tell what to expect.  Got my invite earlier today, and will decide tomorrow if I will be able to join.

Not me. They cancelled the 12 night cruise that was supposed to start on Dec 11 was cancelled. I rebooked for Dec 31 for 8 nights but it was more money and I am still salty about it. LOL

 

Enjoy your free cruise.

Yes - already replied yes and confirmed we have a stateroom. Should be an interesting cruise - 6-nights from Balt to CoCo and back.

Congrats! I got offers to do test cruises on 2 ships this summer but had to decline as we were doing a land tour of the US. They never bothered to ask me again!

We did the Oasis Simulation. It was great.  Drinks, photos and pay restaurants were half price.  Soda was free on our cruise, I enjoyed that!  The ship was pretty empty, less than 1000 passengers. Crew could not do enough for us.  We checked in and walked right onto the ship, did Muster and enjoyed the rest of the day.  Getting off the ship at the end was a breeze, luggage was there and home we went.  Oh, and no waits for elevators which were almost always empty.

You will love it!!!

My husband and I signed up today. We returned from Anthem of the Seas this morning. What type of stateroom did you receive?

Did you park in the garage and pay $175 despite the sign saying $210?

[Krin]

We paid 175

I haven’t been assigned a cabin yet, I am guessing they are waiting to see what the take rate on invitations is and then figure assignments out then.

We got our invitation the other day and accepted the invite.  Have not gotten our booking number and are curious as to the exact itinerary.  We only live 20 minutes from the port, but have not cruised from there in colder months.  I understand that C&A benefits are not recognized on this cruise.  But we are wondering if casino benefits are recognized.  Does anyone know the answer to this?

Casino benefits are honored, and points earned

Registration for this event is open until December 7th, so we should get stateroom assignments the morning of the 8th.

The test sailing is listed in the RCI app, though some of the info is a bit "off".

Never applied for any and are diamond + but got invite for Brilliance and the Enchantment.  Unfortunately, we had to turn them down, too many obligations this month.

We got a 2nd one this morning too.  We called C&A and was told to ignore the second invite.  That if we filled out the consent and received the registration conformation, then we "should" be good and we'll get our booking # & stateroom assignment on Wednesday.

they must really like you.

Did anyone hear about booking assignments yet?  I have heard nothing besides getting the second invite?  
i wrote email to special events last week and never heard back from them.

I think we would have received them today, but since the 2nd invite had a respond by the 8th date on it, RCG Special Events are still getting responses to the 2nd invite.  So I think they need to wait until after that response date expires before they can put together the manifest.
