Yes, Truly is only what I’ve seen, which I actually prefer!

Lol, where do I sign up?? 🤣🤣🤣

Curious, is this something new to RC, or is this something they have done in the past?

I filled out the “Contact Us” web form on royalcaribbean.com, it took about 2 weeks to get a response, but they said my points would be updated, and the next day they were.

I had issues, even before it could be forgotten. This cruise was last October. It took me a long time to put 2 and 2 together, and I just realized a few months ago that it should have received double points. Everyone in my travel group got their double points, but I did not. However, I emailed them my issue and they corrected my points, so this is just to say, check to make sure you get the double points, and if not, it's not too bad to get corrected.

My best deal right now is an Australian Premier - $1500 OBC - I could book an interior for total around $1400, so basically I'd be making money to take the cruise lol! Unfortunately, I'd lose all of it and then some on airfare to Australia right now.

I played a slot up and down for a few nights, total output of money was around $500. So you really don't have to put in that amount of money to get to Prime.

First time Prime this year, sailing in October. Bottles of water are included in the "free" at the casino?

I spent about $500.

Do it!

What I think I figured out is -FR only gives option for guaranteed, the other let's you select your room.

Not going to lie, I love free cruise ship coffee. It's not good by any means, but there's something so comforting about it. I think mostly because I associate it with cruising. 😄 That said, Cafe Promenade is definitely decent, I'm no coffee snob or anything, but they have professional equipment and do a decent job. I always start my day with a free bad free coffee, because it just feels right, but then through the day would go to the Cafe Promenade. I definitely think it's worth the money.

There are occasions when someone misses a flight or can't make it or something, should the whole party not be allowed to sail?

I think it's pretty easy to break even, just that sticker shock really hits hard lol. 😄

I'm on Harmony in October as well, if you see that price, shout it out!

Yet somehow Disney has solved the adult only area...

Yay, booked for the Glory in February!

I couldn't agree with this more. Carnival really needs a nice adults only area. Yes, Serenity, but I would really like a cold pool for my adult only area. I was on Magic in June, and SO MANY kids. The Serenity area was very limited, and no pool. I could tolerate getting in the pool, but you could tell there were a lot of adults who just wanted to relax in some pool water with a nice drink without 25 kids splashing around. And before anyone comes at me, yes, Carnival is a family line, I get it. But so is Disney, and from what I hear, they have a pretty decent adult only area on the ships. Just because a line is family-oriented doesn't mean a nice adult area wouldn't be appreciated, regardless of intended audience (or price!).

Yes, this has been the case for me as well.

You can update the name after booking.

We played in RCCL's casino for one cruise and started getting free balcony offers. Can't say we really even dropped much bank, a few Gs. They are usually pretty select and limited in date though. Carnival was't coming close on offers. We booked the first one we received. However, I'll say, after the last points reset and/or booking we did, we got removed from the mailing list. Had to request to be "enabled" again, and I must say, offers aren't so great now, and Carnival's are definitely better. We'll see what happens.

Agree 100%.

Celebration, without a doubt! What's the question here?? 😉

Yes, it's the Pizza place. Not all the varieties were available, not sure if that was due to what time it was (it was always a late-night thing for us - may be different during the day, but not sure).

These seem like a lot of commitment just to take a cruise.... Maybe he OP should just wait until the next opportunity to cruise, and pass on this one...
