Just want to say I'm sorry about your dh and happy you are cruising. My dd, sil and grandson live in Ridgewood. I love they (and I) can walk "to town". We will be sailing on Odyssey April 25 so will just miss you. Happy planning!

Thank you. So does this hack work that I would go ahead and book with my credit card when ressies open. Then what do I do once onboard? Do I go to a restaurant or wherever and tell them what I have, ask them to cancel and rebook me same date/time and then use my seapass card for my OBC? Thank you.

Thank you. I am in a regular cabin too.

Us too. April 13.

Thank you very much. Do you know or how would I find out what the additional cost would be on top of my package price. Do the restaurants sell out quickly? I'm Diamond and wondering if I won't get on ship quickly enough or is it worth it to purchase "The Key". Would I get on faster than Diamond?

This is great and a start. Were you in a suite or regular cabin? I cannot believe that Royal still has us getting on the ship and then booking. What a waste of everyone's time.

I have one complimentary specialty dining from my TA and debating on 3 night package or UDP, which will bring my dh and me to four nights. We will be on the Odyssey. Can we go to the same restaurant twice? Are there any restaurants where we would have to pay extra on top of the UDP (or even 3 night) to dine? Thank you.

Thank you all so so much for this information and to the OP for starting this thread. My BoA OBC has posted for my April 2025 Odyssey cruise! I'm so happy!

OMG REALLY!!!! Thank you! I thought I read it would post 2-3 weeks in advance. I'm sailing April 2025 so this would be so helpful to have now. Thank you and I'll keep looking!

I'm on a group rate from my TA for the April 13, 2025 Odyssey sailing.

Hi. How long before your cruise was your OBC from RCCL card applied. I have the same kind of OBC coming to me.

Thank you all again for the reassurance. The issue for me is that I have $650 in OBC. It will be just my dh and me, we are seasoned cruisers and do not want to use it for spa or gifts, etc. I will purchase the 3-day or unlimited dining now since they will sell out possibility but I will wait until my OBC hits from Bank of American RCCL card, which is about 2-3 weeks prior to sailing and then purchase. It will kill me when I see it lower during the year and on Black Friday, but if I purchase, I do not know what I would use the OBC for once onboard. I appreciate you all taking the time to answer.

Thank you all very much. I appreciate the help!

Hi. I just found out in another thread where I'm asking about Dining Packages that they do limit and sell out. Has this ever happened with the Alcohol Package that it sells out. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm Diamond, not +. We usually sail NCL Haven but my TA had a fab group rate for my sailing that we figured we would head back on RCCL so trying to bring myself up to speed with all the changes since I last sailed. Thank you again.
