I had the same issue with price.  I found its going to be cheaper to rent a round trip booking for the 7 days and park at the port.  Enterprise is trying to charge the one way fee on the IAH- GALVESTON trip

Unless you are in a suite, which gets a different color SeaPass card, the check-in people have no thoughts about your cabin type.  🙂 

great thank you!

Kind of a weird question but here goes.  My family(Wife and two kids 14 and 12) and I vacation about 3 times a year.  Every vacation I have some sort of surprise planned like a new activity(Indoor Sky Diving) or surprise traveler(Cousins showed up on trip to Disney).  They have gotten used to their being a surprise but never know what it might be.  We have an upcoming cruise booked at the end of the summer that we are all very excited about.  When I initially booked I booked two connecting inside staterooms but a few weeks later I found the price dropped and I booked two Balcony state rooms for a total of $400 more for the week.  I immediately booked it but didn't tell anyone.  As a family we have been on around 5 cruises and have never had anything but inside staterooms. Now onto the question.   I want to keep this a surprise to all of them right up until they open the door to the room.  My biggest worry is at check in.  During the check in process does the check in agent mention the type of room you are in?  It would be easier if I told my wife before hand but I wanted it to be a surprise for her too.  Any suggestions on how I can keep this secret until we enter the room?

If I was a higher tier do you think they would make the exception.  I'm only at Emerald, a few nights away from Diamond.

Is there a possibility that a travel agent may have rooms allocated but not booked yet?  Is there somewhere I can look for that?

How does the price for 4 in a JS  compare.

Its about $500 more and we really like having the 2 rooms so we get the 2 bathrooms.

The other option is to wait till inside final payment when they'll probably lift the number of occupant restriction.

I think that's what I'm going to do....Keep checking the site until it opens up.  It seems like they only have a handful of 2 person balconies on enchantment and the great majority of them are 4 person.  I was just hoping they could overide so families can plan on being near each other.  My other options is to get two inside next to each other and save the money from the balcony.

Try calling a couple of more times - you might get lucky.

 

You might take a chance and book the  X GTY and some inside, then hope to get an assignment fairly soon and move one or both cabins so they are across from each other.

I tried a 2nd time through Facebook and got the same answer.  I thought about that.  I was going to book the interior Room on deck 7 that had open balconies across from it and hope for the best.

How about booking 3 of you in one balcony and one in the inside.  You can switch once you get onboard.   This would be more expensive as you would pay for 3 people in the balcony and 2 people in the inside (200% single supplement) but perhaps the 3rd person's fare would be less and could justify paying for 5.   At least look at the numbers.

Its about $450 extra to do that.  I did consider it.

I'm in the process of trying to book a Balcony room and a Inside room on the August 23rd Enchantment of the Seas.  The Balcony would be for my wife and I and the Inside room would be for my kids ages 14 and 12.  Since they are kids I need to make sure the rooms are across or next to each other.  When I go to book the Balcony with 2 Adults, all that is left is Balcony Guarantee and no option to book specific rooms.  If I try Booking a Balcony with 3 or 4 Adults I get the choice of about 20 different balconies, a few of them with an empty inside room across from it.   Has any one had luck getting RCCL to overide the system to allow my wife and I to book one of the four person rooms with only 2 people?  I tried calling but the insist I cant do it.  I know if I booked one of the Guarantees I'm sure I will end up in one of the four person rooms but it will be too late to insure the kids are close by.  Any suggestions would be great.

I was on Majesty the week of the 20th and saw a portrait of just a dog in the photo area. Then later on in the trip had to wait for my wife and I to get a picture because the dog wouldn't look into the camera for the owner. Don't know how they get away with this.

Small things. Assistant waiter did not do a great job. Never bringing us drinks. Not filling water. One of the shows was exactly the same as one we saw 2 years ago. They need to update there shows. The last show was a juggler who dropped things a few times. One other small thing was the first night we asked the room steward for the kids cruise compass to be delivered for our kids every night. Not once did we get it. Last thing which seems to be a norm on cruises is that on the last day they try to charge us for mini bar items we never used. Happened the last few times we have been on.

In the airport waiting for my flight home. Just got off the Vision and had a great time. A few bumps in service but overall a great cruise. I'll add a more detailed review in the next couple of days but if any one has any questions feel free to ask.
