No algorithm expert but help me understand
akcruz replied to sadiwest's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Two things, first always look at the current price if cabins are available. It is often cheaper to upgrade than wait for royal up to do its thing. Second, there are thoughts that royal is also using the information from the bids to see how much people are willing to pay for certain types of cabins. As others have said nobody here knows for sure, it's all just speculation. -
Has anyone flipped their floorpan themselves?
akcruz replied to goldfish65's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I am not sure the bed would fit in the opposite spot. "Vanity/desk" is attached to the wall so not movable and many ships stagger cabins so part of the room is wider to fit the bed. Have you looked at changing cabins? We have had both and there are pros and cons to each. Give it a try maybe you will like it better?? -
If Bev Package or Dining Package Price Drops...
akcruz replied to CBVest's topic in Royal Caribbean International
As an FYI there are some things that cannot be handled this way. The beverage package is an example, once you buy for a person you can't buy another so would need to cancel first. Not sure about dining but would assume would be the same for some of the packages. -
Yes the dining room will do something if you mention it, most likely won't be a cake but a piece or 2 or a dessert with a candle in it. They will attempt to sing too. Many have special occasions on board you won't be the only ones.

Both of our houses have popcorn ceilings. Our home in SC had a leak in the roof due to hail damage, insurance covered the roof and ceiling repair. Leak showed in kitchen which is connected to main living and diningbareas.When the insurance adjuster came they said they would pay to have the popcorn removed from the entire area since it was connected, fix the bad spot and re popcorn. We asked do you have to redo it, how about smooth and paint. Insurance agreed, contractor was not happy. Took way too long and very messy. They set off smoke alarm one day due to the dust, yes the central one, that was a fun phone call, no we don't have a fire no need to send anyone, pleas turn off monitoring for today. Bedrooms and sunroof still have popcorn. Have also had to do the wall sanding, one bedroom in our house had flowers painted all over the walls and another sailboats. They looked OK but not the colors I wanted and didn't match anything else. Many hours were spent sanding and repainting.

The earthquake hit in the town next to where we used to live. Sister in law about 30 minutes north said the whole house shook. Called my son just a but west in PA, he's working nights this week so was asleep. Said it woke him up, not an east thing to do. Crazy, all in the area keep safe and watch for aftershocks.

This, can only be done on the phone, not on line. Very easy process.
