Thanks!

It seems to me that RS 1607 on Eclipse is under the pool deck. Can someone confirm? I'm trying to figure out if one would hear noise from above. TIA.

Just to add...I am guessing I can't name the site, but if you request quotes from a site on which different agencies "compete" for your "cruise" business, you will see a wide range. You of course just have to confirm which prices include perks and REF deposits to compare apples to apples.

Here's a bit of an example...booked a cruise for March 2026, 6 days. Quote from usual agency (b/c they have no group rates) for balcony: $3111, w/perks, refundable deposit, 345 OBC, and that's for a V3. Quote from a different agency who apparently has a contracted rate: 2338, w/perks, refundable deposit, 125 OBC, for a V2! So, it makes no sense to go w/agency #1 and get my $150 or whatever OBC from booking onboard. I have used agency #1 for many years, but things seem to be changing. For my 3 most recent bookings I did not use them b/c they had NO group/contracted rates and couldn't tell me if they will at any point...and that was for 3 different sailings.
-
Let me see if I can find some data. I can tell you this...for my bookings in 2025 & 2026, I did NOT go with my usual "very large" agency b/c they had NO group/contracted rates. So, yes I could've used my booking onboard & gotten that OBC and their 10% or whatever OBC, but it didn't come close to the benefit I reaped by booking with another agency that offered a much lower fare and SOME (not very high) OBC. I look at NET. I will try to offer up some hard numbers...
-
Also, FYI, many TAs have not only better group/contracted rates but also offer refundable deposits...of course plus extra OBC. Check w/some reputable TAs. Also, I'm finding lately that a lot of TAs are saying the booking onboard benefit isn't combinable with their discounted rate. I guess you just have to determine what makes most sense.
-
OP here. Correct..yesterday they were nowhere to be found. Now I see the Cape Liberty sailings.
-
Just did a search for June to Sept & NJ & Boston are not even offered as options for departure cities.
-
I get that, but maybe they're trying to figure out when to do it. Strange they're showing one July date on what you posted. When I did a search on X website, there were no listings for Eclipse for 3 or 4 months.
-
Could they be considering a dry dock?
-
Ughhhh....I hope not!!! Isn't it bizarre there is one date listed?
-
Anyone have any idea why there are no Eclipse sailings (should be out of NJ but not showing the ship at all anywhere) listed from June to Sept 2024?
-
Thanks!
-
Are they honoring the Elite discount on top of the current sale prices for dining & wifi packages?
-
Wow, thx...never knew that.
-
I know on S class to look for the squares & count from there, but how does it work on M class ships? I'm looking at C1s and there are huge blocks that have the squares. Does that mean they all have bed by bathroom?? Specifically looking around 8076, 8080.
-
Can anyone tell me if the steward's "storage area" is in close proximity to this cabin? TIA.
-
Yes, that's what I was asking...just wanted to be sure...thx!

Booked on Reflection in 2024. I found this on the X website, which dzn't exclude V1 from one category CC upgrade: For sailings departing on or after April 12, 2023: Captain's Club one-category upgrade excludes categories: IS, ES, SV, SC, PO, DO, DI, DV and Z, Y, X, XC, XA, W. However, I called CC & they told me there is no CC upgrade from V1. Can anyone confirm that this is correct?
-
Strange...I think I did it 2 weeks ago, printed our boarding passes, and mine says PALL & his says CALL, so it's correct.
-
FYI, I recently upgraded to Premium for our upcoming cruise & my other half did not.
-
Thanks!

My friend wants to get married on an X ship and we were wondering if it matters if she books her cruise thru a TA vs directly with X as far as having the ability to plan the wedding onboard. If she books directly, do they offer a discount for a certain number of cabins? Possibly not relevant bc I don’t think she will require that many. TIA.
-
TY!

We got the upgraded wifi on our cruise, which I think is called Surf Wifi? Can that be used on multiple devices per user, or is it limited to one device? TIA.
