I can’t see that $1 deposit returning. We’ll see.

Enchanted also? If so, they are not verifying, who is actually ordering the drinks. Not right.

We didn’t have any extra charges on the standard fare a few months ago on the Enchanted, 20 nights. I wonder what has changed?

Thank you. We could all ask our CVP’s or TA’s. This is major and will definitely affect the way we book.

What ship?

That was really common in the beginning. They are supposed to check the picture and cabin no. that comes up on their handheld device, or their computer, when you approach the bar. Some people complain if they ask their name or cabin no. They should be verifying who is ordering these drinks. I don’t get it. Who wants to waste their time going up to GS? I would call from the cabin or do the crew chat.

Will those go up also? 🤔

Really hope that is not true. Although, that’s the way RCI has been going. I hope PCL lowers the price of deposits, been paying $400 PP on the longer cruises. May just wait until closer to FP to book and take my chances on cabin selection. Or, wait until the price comes down to a reasonable fare for folks.

That’s absurd! So, 1 person cannot order a la carte? I would only send 1 of us to order the meal and ask for it to go. Will they allow the $15 meal to go? I’d then share it somewhere else.

They are going to use them. They want to eat at the same SD, same day and time. They just arranged the tables so we could sit together. We have also just called once OB and booked it, because I wanted to use OBC.

We each booked it on the App DMW same time, same day and each paid for our own SD. Once we got OB, I called the dine line in the cabin and told them we had booked and would like a table all together. No problem. Otherwise, we would have had to straighten out the charges once OB and didn’t want to do that.

From the threads I have read, they were NOT charged a RS fee for these elite benefits. I have not personally experienced it since the change last month. Hope others will chime in!

They did away with them. Look on your travel summary and above the itinerary, it tells you when the boarding time and sailing time is for your ship. You can show up before that, whatever is convenient for you or up to 90 mins before sailing.

As @chrysalis mentioned, the best way is to call the Dine line from your cabin when you are OB and reserve your time and dates. Casual dining isn’t always available to book ahead, however, Planks and Steamers should be booking ahead of time, once OB though.

They are all different port fees, unless someone just had the same port cancelled, you won’t know exactly. Not very much money for most ports. Did they replace it with another port? They will put the credit on your folio.

Sounds like the shipping fee, whether you paid it or not, seems to just be programmed to refund it to you. 🤣

If you’re interested in Catch by Rudi, there’s a nice thread going on now:

You’re right, it is ridiculous. Crazy. At this point, I’d take my summary to GS. Screenshot the App where it says paid. You can always purchase it once OB with the loyalty discount. I don’t even think I’d mess with IT at this point, either. Don’t stress over it anymore, not worth it. Sorry I couldn’t help.

Did you try deleting it and adding it back in, with him as authorized user? Such a pain.

Does it show on the Travel Summary? On your CC as a charge?

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I have done that a couple of times, after the IT updates the APP and causes more issues. It worked for me. You should be able to buy the MedNet with PCL for her or ask your TA/CVP if they will add it. I would definitely print out the travel summary once everything is confirmed, or screenshot it.

Are you the primary CC holder on the booking? Was she shown as an authorized user?

Whomever is the primary account holder, may need to go into the App, payment methods… delete the CC and add it again, making sure to show the other guest as an authorized user. The CC issue has been around for the last few years off and on. Let me know if it worked.

Has anyone done this since the restart? The price? It would be fun to do the escape room with our family and friends. 😜

We are probably about the same as the majority of PCL cruisers. We pay the suggested tipping amount charged daily on our folio and tip extra when warranted by excellent service! We still think PCL has the best crews out of all the lines we’ve sailed. Always a hot and controversial topic!
