5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. True, RCI always raises the price and then offers some kind of sale to make you think you are getting a better price. But it must work for them. There are so many people out there that don't know better and if they are told it's a sale, they'll buy it.
  2. Just to clarify, you are not booking a BOARDING time, you are booking a check-in time. It's possible that you might check in and not be able to board for some time after that.
  3. If $78.75 is something you feel comfortable with, and can live with that price, book it now. It will probably come down some time before your cruise, but it might only go up. If you lock in now, at a price you are comfortable with, you can always cancel and re-book if the price goes down.
  4. How long has it been since you have been to St. Maarten? If it's been more than a few years, you'll be surprised at the number of shops within the port area. You might not even need to go into "town".
  5. And now, since your grandson is Diamond, his mother should be also.
  6. I know this has been discussed multiple times, but the search function and I don't get along ๐Ÿค” so I'm having difficulty finding my answer. We'll be on a family cruise next week. My daughter and son-in-law have more OBC then they will use on the ship. I believe it is all refundable OBC. They want to cash some of it out. Can they just ask for cash at Guest Services? If not, what are the steps to get cash it out at the casino?
  7. How old is your son? Does he still live under your roof? As long as your son is under 18, all family members living in the same household will be the same status as the highest member. It sounds like your son has the most points. If he is under 18, and D+ you and your wife should also be D+. Call C&A to make sure you are.
  8. If everyone is linked to you, you should be able to get check-in times for everyone. If you can only check yourself in, do that and get the check-in time you want. If the others can't get the same time as you, don't worry too much about it, most ports are not enforcing the check-times. Even if they are enforcing them the "fine print" says to arrive at your scheduled check-in time with your entire party. That means your family can (should) check in with you.
  9. If your kids have cruised with RCI, they should have a C&A number. If you are Diamond, for instance, then your kids should be Diamond also. Call C&A to verify that your kids have numbers and that their status is the same as yours. Their perks on board will be different than yours (no BOGO glass of wine for instance) but they will have several perks that apply to the younger cruisers.
  10. There is no need to have them check in online and there is also no need to tell people at the pier that they are not coming. Just have them be a no show
  11. I was about to correct you, not call you out ๐Ÿ˜€, to help eliminate some potential confusion.
  12. In my experience, a shot is the same cost as a mixed drink. If you're spending $14 on a mixed drink, the don't care about the 20ยข cost of the soda.
  13. The magic number to "break even" on the package is usually about 5 or 6 alcoholic drinks. So, if you're going to drink 5 or 6 alcoholic drinks + some soft drinks and water, I think you would come out ahead by buying the package.
  14. If you're on a 4-night cruise, you'll each have 2 free days. That's a total of 4 free days for a 4-day cruise. If you are able to share, you won't need additional days.
  15. There are no more automatic upgrades. You will probably have an opportunity to bid on an upgrade.
