How do you get refills for your medications? What are you doing with your pets? Do you have to put special plans in place for being away from your homes for so long? Routine medical care during that 9 month period? For me, the biggest issue by far would be being away from family for a prolonged period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted April 19, 2023 #277 Share Posted April 19, 2023 On 4/17/2023 at 10:03 PM, Russ Lomas said: try the deck plans on cruisemapper.com. They seem to show more detail than the RCCL deck plans on their website. (see the bottom of the image pasted below for the legend) You have to be careful with cruisemapper. For one this is an old deck plan, 5D, 6D and many other categories they have listed havent existed for years. The other thing is that they tend to copy deck plans form the first ship in the class and miss some subtle changes to deck plans. Also, Royal no longer publishes whether the rooms has pullmans or sofabeds, only occupancy so there is no way for cruisemapper to be accurate on that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't actually end the booking as I wanted to use 'Tesco Vouchers' in part payment (a UK supermarket loyalty scheme) and you have to ring up for that. The agent on phone said I couldn't use both vouchers and discount code Thanks! Though I was wanting to apply the 10% off with nextcruise reduced deposit and OBC 😁 - which nextcruise consultant said we can combine these two, but only with a full WCer's booking number.

That booking number is not required for the discount. It is only required if you are going to use their number so they get $100 OBC. Not surprising that they are not fully aware 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on the Brilliance and I was told the same thing. Fortunately I know a great TA (thank you @Ourusualbeach) who took care of everything. @John&LaLa, I didn’t find this thread until today. No need to email me. Joining the cruise in Buenos Aires and staying on to Los Angeles. Look forward to chatting over the months. Pat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edspec Posted April 22, 2023 #285 Share Posted April 22, 2023 We're booked for the Buenos Aires to Santiago section and very much looking forward to it. So dumb, in my euphoria to buy airfare booked flights arriving day of, w/ a layover time in Miami of 40 minutes 😞 Will need to change that. @taznremmy it appears we are the only tribe members...so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t you post some of the positives? This cruise is going to many places that most people have never had the option to cruise to in the past. Yes it’s expensive, like everything else these days. But this will be a once in a lifetime experiance for many people, but you only seem to see the negative. I’m a glass half full person. I find Jimbo very entertaining! It's a nice balance... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
