I read another thread that stated they were able to make all their dining reservations in the app once on board the ship.  Hoping that is at least the case as I would much prefer doing that than standing in line and making reservations manually with the staff!

Then wait to see if it goes lower.

Yes that response isn’t very helpful and doesn’t particularly answer my question. I’m just wondering if anyone has seen an oasis class all access tour go lower than that price recently. If you haven’t, then that’s fine. 

What is the lowest price recently you all have seen for the All Access tour? Right now it is down to $148.99 on Symphony in December. Yesterday it was $178.99. Curious if I should expect it to go much lower on Symphony in the next few months. Don’t really want to pay this much for it but would like to do it. 
 

How much are coco locos on Coco Cay if you just pay for them?

I know this topic has been posted a gazillion times, but trying to better understand the actual costs of specific drinks that I normally have on cruises to weigh whether I should get the drink package or not.  I believe the bourbon and soda drinks might be cheaper than the more specialized drinks?

Bourbon (Elijah Craig, Wild Turkey 101, Bulleit etc) and Coke or Ginger Ale

Blueberry Mojitos

Lava Flow/Mastercard/Pina Colada/ other frozen drink

Chocolate Martini

You must have misssed post #4 above

Lol I did not. It does not indicate brand of the wines. Therefore, I was not sure if wines above the $10 limit were included in happy hour. However, as it was stated at some point, there aren’t any drinks available during happy hour that are not included in the classic beverage package. Which answers my question. Thank you.

I’m curious what items you see on the happy hour menu that would not be included in your classic package.?

I didn’t know there was a list of items specifically for the happy hour for elite status. I have never been on Celebrity before but am Diamond on Royal. So I was just trying to understand if there were drinks during the happy hour not included with the classic drink package and whether those would be covered. However, since it sounds like everything during happy hour would be covered under the classic drink package, then the question is moot.

If you see something on the Happyy Hour menu that isnt in your classic package, you can order it between 5-7 pm.  Is that what you are asking?

Yes if there’s something not included on the classic package, can we get it without using the up charge during HH?

When you first go to log in… you should choose your free minutes.   Just log in for a minute and then log off.  Then going forward you should be able to choose between free minutes and the basic WiFi AI.  If you do the Basic WiFi AI first, then the free minutes option disappears.  We too had this happen and that is what we were told at the Internet help area. I got mine back and then could go back and forth the rest of the cruise.  Not great IT functionality…

So you log on first and use the free minutes, then log off.  If you log on a second time and choose your package and log off again, when you log on the 3rd time, will it still give you an option to choose free minutes or the package?

On most X ships the shows are 7pm and 9pm.

 We like to have dinner in the MDR as soon as it opens and Ask to be done by 7ish. so we can make the 7pm show.

 That has always worked for us.

Perfect! I just scheduled the 6pm Select seating (which looks to be the earliest) so hoping this works for us too.

Do you all know what time the shows are typically?  Trying to see if a 6pm dinner makes sense or if I should do something later.

First time on Celebrity in February 2024.  We will be Diamond on Royal Caribbean, so the status reciprocity would be Elite on Celebrity.  Our cruise fare has the all included in it with the Classic Beverage package.  For the Happy Hour unlimited drinks, would we be able to get wines over the $10 classic beverage package limit and other liquors that are only included in the Premium package?

Inside gty cabin are being sold for Dec 11 Wonder cruise on Royal’s website.  That suggests there are more than enough inside cabins to accommodate volunteers accepting downgrades. 

Hmm I’m not seeing it anymore. Maybe that was a system glitch as well 😬

I got an email and a phone call just now about the 11/18 refunds. They contacted the accounting department and said I should receive the refunds within 7 business days now. I would definitely email that mbayley address. Very impressed that they personally called me. 

So I received a refund for my cancellations on 11/27 and 11/29 today to the SAME card as the cancellations on 11/18. Still no refunds from 11/18….

Good luck. I got similar responses. Friday, you'll have your credit by Monday as it's already been processed.  Today,  it takes time,  at least 14 business days and more if an international transaction or with some banking institutions.   We'll see.

Right I’ve gotten multiple responses as well. It’s frustrating. We sail Sunday so I hope I get the refund soon…

I called tonight about my cancellations from 11/18. They said they weren’t sure why they were still pending and opened a ticket on them. They claim I’ll see a refund on my card in 2-5 days. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We shall see…

@Bingies2If you're crown and anchor you can call that number (800 526-9723) and hit #9. I got through half an hour ago in 2 minutes. 6 minutes later purchase completed.

They wouldn't honor the $62.99 for me when I called earlier.  Said it was $67.99.

Took an hour and half, but I was able to pay for all of our drink packages at the $62.99 rate. Not sure why they are telling people they won't honor it. 

 

I called the C&A line twice and they said they couldn't do anything other than what was on there now.  It showed the $62.99 rate earlier and now it shows $67.99.

I haven't seen the Wonder or Harmony prices go any lower than $72.99/per day since I started looking months ago.  I'd buy it at $68/day....

I asked the Royal Caribbean official account this question and they replied with electronic/picture is fine.

I believe I read that you can remove the refundable deposit prior to final payment. If you convert to a non refundable deposit, will the cruise be repriced at current prices or will the amount you originally paid extra for it to be refundable just have the total amount due reduced by that amount? For example, I paid $94 for the refundable deposit. If I can to change to the non refundable deposit then will the total amount I owe be reduced by $94? Or will the entire cruise be repriced at the current rate and changed to a non refundable deposit?

I think I know the answer to this but if you booked previously without the discount and it’s showing as available on the sailing today, will Royal just add the Police and EMT discount or would they have to reprice the entire cruise?

Just make sure the price is the same as what you had booked originally.  Our December 2023 was moved to Adventure yesterday and it was re-priced at today's prices.  I called and they fixed it, but it seems to have happened to multiple people.  

I was doing a mock booking of a balcony guarantee, but it didn't give me an option to book a refundable deposit.  Do they limit the number of refundable deposits per cruise or does it have to do with it being a guarantee cabin?  I hadn't seen that before, so was curious.
