We've always turned in the W&F laundry bag when we needed to and have never been charged
The footnote on the new C&A benefits page indicates the freebie (D+) is only good on the W&F date.
Is this limitation new??
TA got it done for us. She said these sailings are a hot topic amongst TA's........ If the word is that widespread, Royal is sure to catch wind of it.
Prices are unchanged as of a few minutes ago.....
We've got friends lining up to get that pricing before the ether wears off.
Unfortunately, there are no accessible Grand Suites. Our TA is trying to get a Junior Suite for the Grand Suite price ( now doesn’t that sound odd!!!)
I just tried searching for sailings in Jan/Feb 2024....no particular ship, departure port, destination and got a "No Cruises match this criteria"!!
Any clue??
We got all excited about the March 2025 sailings. Jr Suites were listed at only $30 more than balconies!
But....we couldn't book them on line.
Today, the Jr Suite prices is $300+ more. No thanks.
They both work in the MDR at dinner. Both are likely in the Windjammer for at least one other meal.
They met on board and were married last February. Cute couple.
We did the reverse last month. Vanc to Hawaii on Quantum. Only Hawaii stop was Maui (other than the disembark port of Honolulu).
I'd never recommend that itinerary to someone who wanted a good overview of the islands
We booked 4 consecutive sailings out of Sydney starting March 22 2024 . The 4th one is the Transpacific which ends in Honolulu.
We're now waiting for the HNL to Vanc BC which will likely sail April 30 2024
I second Tours By Locals. Rates are usually "per tour" and not per person.
Tours are frequently structured for what the travelers want to see and do.
We did TBL in Roatan last year.
Well worth the (reasonable) $$$.
Oh......TBL does an excellent job vetting the tour guides. Some booking agencies do next to nothing.
Happy Sails to you
All out of Sydney:
3 night to an Aus port round trip
9 night South Pacific round trip
10 night New Zealand round trip
18 night transpacific from Sydney to Honolulu
I check a couple of times a day.
We're booked on Ovation for B-4-B ending in Hawaii on April 30 2024.
We hope to add Hnl-Vanc and Vanc to Seattle for our first(and last) ever B-6-B!
Interesting. We're waiting for the 2024 Hawaii to Vancouver BC sailings to be released.
It would be odd if Alaska is released without the sailings from Hawaii to start the AK season...
We'll see.
