Hi all,

I am just wondering what your strategies are to get the best deals for the mass-market lines, specifically RCI for me. I am led to believe that we don’t seem to get the best deals Down-Under compared to our North American friends due to various factors like market demand. The best thing I can think of is to book on-board as early as possible and hope for the price to go down (maybe during a flash sale, which rarely seems to happen to bring the price below the initial booking price).

Also, due to a change in management, my current TA doesn’t offer anything beneficial to me anymore. In Australia, is it generally better to go with an online TA? Or potentially even a US TA?

Cheers

Hi all,

I will be sailing on the Spectrum of the Seas in China in later this year and was wondering if there is any difference between the perks offered to the Grand Suites and above compared to the Golden Junior Suites. There’s not a whole lot of information on SC, but somone on CC has suggested previously that the Golden Junior Suites are like “The Key”. Does that mean that Golden Junior Suites don’t actually have a gold card, but instead have a symbol on a silver card and access the Silver Dining room, and don’t have access to the Concierge service/Lounge/private area?  If they do, then is there any benefit in perks by sailing in a better cabin like a Grand Suite?

Early on in the building process, there was a rumour suggesting Golden Balconies also exist—is this true?

Finally, does anyone have any positive/negative experiences about the silver/gold suite perks on Spectrum?

Cheers

Thanks Keith. We'll be on Royal Caribbean.

Hi all, we are new to cruising in suites and were planning on staying in an owner's suite. However, it seems like there is probably too much space for us, but there weren't any more grand suites left I was wondering if there is anything we can do or bring to utlise this extra space (since we are paying for it). Cheers!
