I calculated mine, however the agent calculation was sbout $250 cheaper. When the 30/30 promo was in play my calculation on the 2nd pax was right on. However, not so clear with the 60% off 2nd pax.

Yes, I reread the restrictions, but I don't know if there's has been a more recent change to the blackout dates. One agent tells me that there was an update and the new blackout periods, other than holidays and spring break, to be from May 15-September 12. Another tells me that it coincides with the Kids Sail Free promo. Is the C&A desk making up rules as situation come up. The DP340 benefit was not available on the Liberty August 21, 2025 (my preference), but available on the September 18, 2025, sail.

My opinion, it was made up as the KSF on some sailings has been going, it seems, for the last 2 years. @OurusualbeachIs it possible for you to confirm the new and revised blackout dates, if you can.

Finally, after an hour my Liberty 8/21/2025 was considered as in the blackout period. Was told some strange answer that the blackout dates run concurrently with the "Kids Sail Free". I wasn't going to waste my breath as I thought that it was some stupid answer that the C&A dept. gave the agent. Anyway, went to the fallback sail on Liberty for September 18, 2025. Hope someone can confirm if the blackout dates have been revised and expanded.

It's the same as their 30/30 sale except as a different twist. As previously stated, this has been a problem since the restart whenever new itineraries are announced. I'm currently on hold with a Royal Agent and it has been some 10 minutes as he's waiting for the C&A folks to calculate the discount. Frustrating as I have to explain what the promo is all about.

As compared to a new car smell.

Where is the bed and probably, you'll be so far away from the ship to smell anything but clear Caribbean Sea.

I have no problem entering the code on my laptop. The booking format on the laptop has not changed. Also, I've had no problem booking the code for a Harmony December '24 and Explorer January '25 sails. Only on the most recent released itineraries has it been a problem.

It's been a problem over the last couple of years that the code does not work for a time when new itineraries are released. It's funny, that when I called on Friday, a different agent manually calculated and was about to give me the discount on the same ship, dates and itinerary, but I lost power and did not get the power back until the next day at 3am. Unfortunately, never been able to get the same agent.

Funny, as some years ago the pricing around Labor Day was one of the lowest due to Hurricane concerns.

Sorry, to have to bring this up again. I was trying to book a sail and was told by a C&A D+ desk agent that the new blackout dates, other than holidays and spring break, has expanded from May 15-September 12. Can someone confirm this statement as in past I got wrong answers.

Was trying to book a Liberty sail from Bayonne on September 2025 and had problems with mock booking and reflection of the DP coupon/promo. This. had been a constant irritant since the release of the new schedules. So, I decided to call the C&A/D+ desk and the agent had similar issues and had to manually calculate the fare. After he gave me the quote, I asked him if I need to call the Casino desk to apply the $ off that I earned on my February Anthem cruise. He tells me that it's not combinable. I mentioned to him that I have some 5 upcoming cruises where I was able to apply both and advised him that these are 2 separate and distinct events. But, suddenly, my electricity/power went off and was cut off from the agent. It seems some idiot hit a telephone pole in my neighborhood and did not get power back until 3am this morning. Thank God it wasn't as cold and windy s previous days and the insulation kept the bedroom temp at 62. Sorry to digress but has there been a change in applying the solo supplement and casino $ off.

Sailing on the Explorer on January 5, 2025 and asking for assistance.

Without a doubt. Mamma Mia on Allure and Grease on Harmony.

The bigger problem to the economy is the level of debt especially in credit cards.

Expires 11:59am the next day.

Just off Anthem and at 4:30 this was the scene as we entered the NY/NJ harbor.🤣

I met someone of that ilk on last week's Anthem sail. He was telling me that Anthem, the following week's sail schedule will sail from Bayonne to Cape Canaveral in 1 day. I told him unless Royal has discovered a worm hole it's impossible. I finally gave up.🤣

I’ve tried opening what I thought was my cabin door and when the green light did not come on I realized I had gotten off on the wrong floor. I called myself an “idiot”.

I’m on the Anthem presently and have traditional dining of 5. Plenty of empty tables and they are seating folks whom I’m assuming are MTD before the 6:45 time frame. I have a table for 8 and only ;3 at this table. Noticed the same on December Harmony sail and October Oasis sail. As others have said show up at the restaurants as there are empty seats if not empty tables.

No really, need specifics. For instance, drinks purchased on CC presently has an extra $1 charged and assume it's the VAT. Free drinks presently have no taxes, will they be subject to taxes. Specifics as examples, such as buffets, chairs and umbrellas, etc. will the cost be imputed for VAT purposes.

What was removed?

That's what I pointed out in my post #3. It's not old news because it's effective March 1 and it seems to cover things that are provided on the island which I'm assuming were not subject to VAT prior to this ruling. Unfortunately, the cruise lines have a lot of $s invested in these private islands and ultimately, the consumers (us) are going to get screwed.

I agree I've been to Nassau so many times. Unfortunately, when someone sails for Bayonne, we have no choice. Never felt the difference in the drink prices as I use my allowed D+ free drinks. The bottleneck occurs due to too many ships at any given time and excursions which packs the docks.

I've taken 4 12 nights Mediterranean sails and lobster was never offered. Shrimps was substituted.
