  1. I cruised RC many years ago and have been cruising another cruise line the past few years...it says for the two formal nights women have to wear cocktail dresses...well Im not a dress kinda gal, sundress maybe but not formal cocktail...i have never worn a cocktail dress on a cruise so ..are fancy pants and fancy blouses ok? Will they actually say something if not wearing cocktail dress?

     

    Thanks!

  2. I have cruised RC three times back in the early 2000's...I have since been cruising Carnival with my family and friends. Last July I began planning an adults only cruise for this May (May 11th Navigator out of Galveston) with several other couples. I priced both Carnival and RC out of Galveston. My friends who are going on the cruise with us have only ever cruised Carnival (numerous times) and I convinced them to try RC BUT only after I asked RC reservations numerous questions comparing the two options because as past Carnival cruisers they will have to give up some of their perks to try RC..

    I asked them numerous silly things, do yall have complementary robes in the cabins, are there refrigerators in the cabins, can we bring wine and/or sodas on board etc. etc. etc...

     

    My question for y'all pertains to a question I asked them about onboard credits.....I was told that RC does the same as Carnival on cabin prices, that if after we book and pay our final payment if the price of the cabin goes down they give on board credit, not a refund. RC is now telling me, since my cabin total went down $300 that yes RC use to do that but it changed back in 2011 and now all they will offer is an upgraded cabin..Right now we all have cabins together on the 8th deck, two balcony cabins and one interior overlooking the Promenade. If we take the upgrade only the balcony cabins are eligible and there are not three cabins together but there are three cabins close to each other on deck 6..Really who wants to go down on the ship?

    I am very frustrated because this is not the only issues that I have experienced already with RC but it's the one that has the biggest impact.

     

    Has anyone else had this happen and/or any suggestions on who to speak with?? I even asked for dinner in a specialty restaurant and was told NOPE SORRY upgrade or nothing...The girl in the "resolution" center who I spoke with said and I quote "I don't see anywhere in the notes that you were ever told that" my response was do you see in the notes where I asked if you have refrigerators in the room or where I asked if I can bring sodas onboard etc? She said well no...Exactly!

    Not a good way to start..:mad:

     

    Sincerely,

    Frustrated in Texas

    My question is this...I was told that RC does the same as Carnival on room prices, that if after we book and pay if the price of the room goes down they give on board credit. Well apparently RC is saying that was what they use to do but it changed in 2011 and they now only do upgrades to your rooms. But I was told when I booked that they still did it this way...Well, two of us are illegible for the upgrade because we have balconies but the third room is an interior room over looking the Promeande and isnt illegible...Plus even if the third room moves to a balcony and pays the difference we still can't all be together.
