Great to hear, looking forward to pics 

Oh Maureen what a sucky start to your cruise, I would have cried too.

I am glad you and the turkey hat made it! 

Very much looking forward to this! 😁 Bon voyage!

It may be unavailable to select at the moment but this indicates the Round the World Cruises will be available to book soon!

@Missusdubbya

I email @gsmith at rcclapacc.  (Not the right email on purpose)

And he said the cruise ban is over.

They are working hard to get a ship here possibly one over winter?

That would be excellent! Good on you 

Great review, so sorry for the loss of your Mum

Only on the invoice, in the cruise fare section you should see REF in some lines e.g. BONUS SAVE REF or SAVE 30 REF

Enjoying you review so far, hope John gets better

@Sea Dog so sorry for the loss of lovely Maggie.

Congratulations on retirement! Looking forward to the rest of your review 😁

I forgot, if I retroactively want to apply this benefit, will the cruise fare be repriced to current fares?

yes be careful 😁

As for the protocols being nonsensical, they are. 

so protest with your $ and don’t cruise 🤷‍♀️

If you don't like them or don't agree with them, just don't book with them.  Very simple. 

^ this all day

I'll do that, thanks.  I'll be as pleasant as I was to the rep on the phone (sincerely, I was - it's not her fault) - I just have no idea why they would yank around a long-time loyal customer like this. 

OP your situation sucks, good luck and please let us know how you go

Not that it does you any good whatsoever, but as soon as they started cancelling, I took the cash refund for EVERY SINGLE CRUISE without a second thought.

Me too, I was fairly sure that the terrible IT and hit and miss central customer service would not manage the processes well!

(Until I caved and took an FCC for a 2022 cruise cancellation…….we will see how that goes 😁)

A and watch for price drops

You call them and you ask.  I don't know how they do it, but I called and asked when there was a sale going on and my category was sold out.  The lady I spoke with said there had been a reduction, and I received an adjustment.  I can only surmise that they maintain some note of a price even when it's sold out and we don't see it.

You have to call them.  I did that and got a price drop

thank you both and thank you OP - I didn’t know this, really helpful

As I just replied on another part of CC that is discussing this, how do people who go on a trip of this length (or even a100+ days) manage everything? Unless you have someone to live in your house - or at least closely oversee things - take in mail, etc. (BTW what about typical 90-day prescriptions and other meds?)...how does one do this? If you have pets, plants, or other things that take routine care....again...I just have a hard time comprehending the logistics of a trip like this. 

We try to travel for 4-5 months at a time and we have engaged house-sitters 3 times to take care of pets and home. 
 

Take extra prescriptions with you - pharmacies can fill them as you travel.

@Missusdubbya - Hey, the cruise stops in Brisbane.  "We" will pick you up there!

you can come over to my house to do laundry 😁

Yes for regular Izumi - although I think not the Hibachi

While this is unlikely something I can swing right now I do like that Royal is thinking beyond the regular patterns of the past.  Sometimes it seemed like certain ships were permanently glued to a home port destined to sail the same routes every week until eternity. 

 

This creativity, experience and feedback in new places may lead to other opportunities in the future for a larger target market.  

 Me too, I would love to see new routes

If I go on this cruise, I will definitely do a live thread, just as I did for 53 nights on the Mariner in 2009.  Let me know if you want to check out that one and I'll post the link.

 

🙂 

Yes please! I hope you go on this one too!

They have AA on stand by for disembarkation!!  😄 😄  

 

Hey...are you trying for 2023 cruise from your beautiful country?  If so...I hope to see you there.  🙂 

we are booked on Ovation 5th (NZ) and 15th April (TP) - fingers crossed! 

The included deluxe beverage package for 274 days would probably be the end of me 🤣

Loving your review so far!

 I didn’t even wear a suit to my dad’s funeral this year, and he’d had wanted it exactly like that.
