Totally agree. We have it booked but I'm not at all committed. $1200/week is another vacation.

I've got the luxury (or hardship, depending on how you look at it) of almost a year before we sail next, so I'll honestly check every day or so. Doesn't take me more than a couple of minutes, and who the heck knows when RCCL might decide to surprise me. But, if this is truly the Memorial Day sale, I'm not really expecting any drop over the next few days.

Our two on Harmony next May are priced at $77.99 per week after "20% off". I suspect any Memorial Day sale may not have started yet, as the "Wow" sale has been extended (surprise surprise!)

😒 I guess I'll try again. Gotta love the consistency!

Mystery solved. Finally found someone who could explain the difference. The BALC SUITE NRD discount is for new bookings only, so a reprice would have voided that out. That savings is more than the OBC would have been so we're holding steady with what we've already got. Hopefully this helps someone else who's equally confused.

That's what's so strange, though, the promos today are the same as my original, resulting in exactly the same price as my original. We only booked like 2 weeks ago so literally the only difference from then and now is the OBC from the Wow sale. If the online price with today's promos was higher than what I booked at I'd get it, but it's the same. Somehow they're showing higher on their side, though, and telling me that my rate would go up, thus cancelling out the OBC.

We have two 7 day cruises booked in balconies next spring. Looking at the Wow sale, it appears as though I may be able to get $100 OBC applied to both. When I price online, it shows exactly what we paid to the penny. If I call to ask about having that sale applied, I'm being told that prices have increased, which doesn't align with what I'm seeing on rccl.com. I understand that RCCL player reindeer games with pricing (raise priced 30% and then have a 25% off sale!) and that I need to take into account the total cost and then factor in OBC, but I'm not getting how agents are seeing different pricing than I'm seeing online. Has anyone ever run into a similar situation, and how did you resolve?

I think that's how I'd approach it. Leave mom and maybe some younger kids at a table, grab food for all, then go back and grab your own.

My people!! Ketel is actually my go-to, but didn't see on the list of brands on RC website. Glad to hear they have both. And yes, dirty all the way.

That’s a solid point re: passports. I had the exact same on one of mine. Down to my bra strap in passport pic, one inch pixie clearing customs. My face was the same, which is clearly what they look for. Heck, my last boarding photo on Celebrity was my LinkedIn headshot, and I can ASSURE you that I looked nothing like that anytime I was boarding the ship on vacation. 😄🫣🥵🫠 Not even boarding day.

Please consider rocking that bald head, if for no other reason than it's HOT. We were on Celebrity last month and were seated next to a survivor. She ditched the wig after night 1 for comfort alone. You earned this look, you fought to be here, wear it with pride. But yes, definitely wear sunscreen. Ouch!

I'm not overly fancy, but I do like a good vodka martini before dinner. With the deluxe package, I see Grey Goose included in the vodka offerings. Does that include in martini form? Or should I expect an upcharge for a GG martini?

Yes, I noticed that prior to reserving. 😐

Morning! I booked our drinks packages at a 20% off deal a week or so ago, but am now wondering if that was a wise choice. Will I still be able to see if there's a better sale in the future to cancel and rebook? I know I'm allowed to do so but not sure if it will always just show the price I booked at.

Hope you're feeling better soon, OP. Covid or no Covid, I wish they'd ditch the carpet. I understand it probably really helps with sound insulation between decks, but I love the look and the carpet is sometimes pretty sus.

Really glad to hear this has changed. I totally understand this is on a space available basis for JS, but the last time we were on Oasis in a JS (many years ago) we literally has to knock on the door every night and wait for the maitre'd to answer to see if we could even get a table. We couldn't even call. It was incredibly awkward for all involved.

Wash with a squirt of body wash and a washcloth before bed, leave upside down on another washcloth to dry overnight. We use the same "drying mat" washcloth all week.

I love it! We were delayed leaving on Celebrity last month in part because like 11 people decided they didn't need to check in. Especially with the way it's working now, it literally took us 30 seconds. Five minutes if you count the leisurely walk there from our room.

A hurried trip to a theme park on an August afternoon when you HAVE to be back somewhere by a certain time literally sounds like hell. I recommend the Space Center, or just make it a beach day.

We're also in St. Aug, and while we'll drive to Canaveral or even Tampa day of, I prefer a stop for Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. We've got one booked next May and currently planning to drive halfway-ish the night before, to make for a more leisurely morning and less stress about timing. I'd love to go all the way down but next year is a B2B leaving Saturday which makes time off a bit of a challenge since we're already taking two full weeks for the cruises. Going home we go straight through because if we're late it obviously doesn't matter.

Thanks! For some reason I'm partial to that setup, although I'm more partial to shade so I wasn't going to switch regardless. 🙂

Anyone have some intel on bed placement? We booked 14558 hoping for a bit of shade from the hot tub overhang, but I can't find anything on configuration.

What's the B2B process like, particularly Oasis class out of Miami? We invited family along for the first week, so we'll need to try to keep our gloating under control. 😄

I wasn't clear-we have the points necessary after leg 1, so we will be Diamond on leg 2. We're at 73 now, so that last 7 will happen on leg 1.
