We will be on Celebrity Reflection in the Spring of 2024 for an 8-nite ABC Island cruise.  We are Diamond on RCCL so we'll pick up some benefits.  Looking for tips, suggestions and what's different on Celebrity.  Thanks in advance.  I saw a decent early black friday deal so we thought that we would try something different.

i sent him a message last Wednesday but have not heard back yet.

Just quoted me their cheapest option, $150 ... way too much for me.  And they don't accept credit card ,,, cash only.

Advance Car Rental quoted me $150 as their cheapest option ... way too much for me.  Avis at the pier is closed.  I'm looking for another pier option/

We've gone on the Irie $25 tour 3 times and had a blast.  They meet you at the port.

there was a time perios where there was an added $100 OBC for using FCC.

replace it with Guys Burgers and Fries ... no upcharge

1. If booking a cruise during this high price of oil, you should be somewhat protected unless the price goes up from here.

Traveling on Explorer of the Seas out of Puerto Rico in a few weeks.  What do I all need to do regarding Covid?

* I have BinaxNOW thru RCCL.  I created an Abbott account, but I don't see a place to make an appointment.

* just upload vaccine cards to Royal App?

* fill out a day of RCCL health survey?

* nothing to fill out for PR?

I'd trade a surcharge for eliminating pre-cruise testing.

Well I'm glad you don't rule the world or the seas

What is DP340?

We will be turning Diamond soon and I'm looking at Summer 2022 cruises.  I found a Balcony with Senior and Past Passenger discount at around $1100.  What kind of Diamond Discount can I expect?

I am getting the double points promotion on an upcoming Interior Room.  If I win my RoyalUp bid, do I keep the double points promotion?

Seems like a good deal ... does this ever go on sale?  Currently $140 on an 8-day cruise.

Thoughts on the up to 100 prints for $137

I booked a cruise direct with RCCL over the phone and got an email receipt.  It shows that I used $1700 plus in FCC and the line that shows paid says $1399.  Anyone else have this problem?

I just got off the phone, an hour and 15 minutes later, FCC transferred and we are booked.

If you have booked with a travel agent the reps at Royal won't talk to you about that reservation.  They will be able to assist with past FCC issues.  Try post cruise guest relations 1-800-256-6649

An RCCL agent (Sab) is doing a great job of helping me know.  They are confirming that they can transfer an FCC and it's taking a while.  Every 2 mintues, they take me off hold, say a few words and ask again if it's okay to put me back on hold for 2-3 minutes.  We're almost there.

I'm getting ready to book another cruise and probably not using a travel agent on this one.

Looking to see if RCL has the personal reservation assistant like Carnival does?  We have some FCC that are not completely straight forward and for an upcoming reservation, our travel agent is taking care of it but not that responsive.

Wow....I just checked and the unlimited dining package went from $189 pp to $203 pp.  Is that what they call a sale?

 

Navigator of the Seas - Dec. 24 - 7-day sailing.

It's called a Holiday cruise and they know people will book individual specialty dinners and they want to maximize profits.  Having been on one Christmas cruise (Christmas day in Havana), I think you'll have a wonderful time.

I agree with spending extra time in San Juan if you can.  We are booked for March 22 with a Guaranteed Inside cabin.  There is a port everyday so there are no Sea Days.  Thoughts on upgrading to a Guaranteed Balcony ... are there bad Balcony cabins?

We just booked the Explorer.  We were on one big ship, Anthem, a few years ago and it had propulsion issues.  We did not like the big ship except for the entertainment and a few of the activities were nice to try.  The crew doesn't get to know you and the Cruise Director and staff was standoffish.  We cruise for the ports more than the ship.  The kids (young adults?) aren't paying and I would hope they would appreciate the cruise whichever one.

I prefer the firm (not hard to me) mattresses on RCCL.

I have a chance to Royal Up and bid on a balcony on Rhapsody. It looks like all balcony cabins are on Deck 7. Deck 8 looks to be all suites. Is that correct?  Are any of the Balconies obstructed?  Are there any bad Balconies?
