The picture of your products in “the cooler” looks like a FabFitFun box. 

If you booked through a TA, it could have been a gift from them. 

Here’s another question. If we’ve already purchased the $18.00 a day drink package and we decide to add a 3rd person to the room that is also over 21, do they just have to purchase the package at the listed price when you add them?

We booked a Harmony cruise for May of 2020. We booked as a group rate with a TA. We currently have 10 cabins booked. Are there typically rate drops with group rates? Also, how would I myself find these rate drops?

Maybe they plan to give everyone the $18 a day drink package. 😁

I booked and paid for 5 cabins on our cruise (with the help of my TA)because I couldn’t get a hold of my friends and I wanted them to receive the fantastic deal. Two other cabins booked on their own and two cabins we didn’t get in soon enough so they will be paying a higher price. 

The package was booked through my cruise planner.  I received confirmation right after it was booked. TA hasn't received an email and I've checked my spam.  I'm not going to worry about the email.  I can see it is bought and paid for in my cruise planner.  I do like the creativity they used in the email. 

I'm going to miss this thread.  It has been entertaining these past few days. I still haven't received my letter. 😞

Hopefully you got a good group rate!

We did get a great rate. $2800 for an ocean view balcony. That price includes the prepaid gratuities. 

We ended up booking the May 10, 2020 cruise on Harmony. Nine cabins 18 adults! Everyone is excited. Unfortunately cabin choices were limited in the group to decks 11 and 12 and the only options given to me by TA all had beds by the balcony. I like deck 8 with bed by the bathroom. So in the end I am trying something different. 😜

Looks like the cheapest oceanview balcony on a group rate is $1229, bogo non-refundable rate $1531.  So a nice savings.

 

Insides $872 vs $1223 

 

So a group will definitely be advantageous 

 

from just the NCL site looks you could add the drink package to the rccl price and be about the same as the Breakaway with the included drink package

 

Also, looks like symphony is about the price as Harmony(maybe $50) with the group pri

I can’t even keep track of drinking 8 glasses of water a day without counting them down with pen and paper. I know as an adult I would not be able to play games in an arcade and keep track of how many games I’ve played.

A more general question. Should things like the drink package and the key show up in the calendar under cruise planner.I see them on my order history but nowhere else.  I really dislike the website. It is tricky for a first time to see things. 

I wish I could help you but I don’t know that either! It’s only my 3rd cruise and our cruises are all a few years apart so it’s like brand new research every time I book. Everything changes!

My friend works in the hospitality industry as a pricing agent. She said she once accidentally put $29 for rooms that were supposed to be $299. It was quickly caught and changed. Only a handful of people received the $29 rate before they made the corrected price. She said now they have checks in place to ensure that won’t happen. No relevance here except the fact that they could make the correction within minutes. By the way they honored the $29 price😜

You cancelled a NCL cruise over a few hours price glitch on Royal?  

We were already considering the move. I posted about it on Sunday on this forum because of the reviews regarding the pool areas and other things we loved about Royal that we were not sure we would get with the cruise we had picked with Norwegian. To be honest I had picked the Norwegian Cruise because of itinerary and free at sea offer. It was quickly chosen because the day I decided it was time to start looking at booking another cruise the free at sea offer was supposedly ending that night according to the little countdown clock.  Our group decided to book very quickly to get that deal. After it was booked I began digging into my research and started to feel like it wasn’t going to be a good fit for us so came back and started researching Royal again as that was the cruise we had a blast on a couple of years ago. Yesterday we decided to make the jump and the $18 drink offer was a huge bonus. From a free at sea offer to $18 a day for a ship we all know we will ❤️. Why wouldn’t we go for it!

We were booked on Norwegian free at sea and were thinking of canceling and coming to Royal. The big motivator for Booking Norwegian was the free drink package. Seeing they had an $18 drink package on Royal we quickly jumped ship and canceled the Norwegian Cruise and booked with Royal. Ihope Royal honors it.

The red word “cancel” is what you would click to cancel your purchase. It doesn’t mean it’s been canceled. If you click the blue “view order details,” you will see what was purchased and the price paid. 

Looked again and it still shows in my order details but doesn’t show up in my calendar under the cruise planer. Does that mean they haven’t canceled it?

I bought it st this price and it is already showing cancel in little red letters next to it. 🙁

Find a pair of connecting cabins.  As you are looking at them from the hall the cabin on the right has the bed by the balcony the cabin on left has the bed by the bath.  

 

The pattern is bath balcony, bath, balcony, bath balcony.....

 

Use  the connecting pair as a starting point. 

Thank you!

When choosing an ocean view balcony  cabin on Harmony of the Seas, how do you know if the bed is by the window or by the bathroom?

All great information! Thank you!

As Bob says with every 8 cabins booked you get 1 free berth.  You can use that as obc, lower the cost for everyone or go sail for free.  Most groups will get a free amenity as well, most choose a $50 obc per cabin but other things are available.  Another great advantage could be the pricing, it could be a substantial savings although sometimes it could be nothing.

 

When are you sailing?  I'll see if my agency has any groups then you'll at least know the pricing

Looking at May 24, 2020 out of Port Canaveral 

Hi all! I’m looking for help with benefits of a group sailing on Royal’s Harmony of the Seas. We are currently booked on Norwegian Breakaway. We have 11 cabins 22 people. I’ve never sailed Norwegian but after reading some reviews I’m a little concerned. We booked because of all the free at sea we received with the booking. Our last cruise as a group was on the allure. We spent a fair amount of time at the pool which according to Norwegian reviews of Breakaway the pool area is overcrowded with not very great bar service. I realize all pools on ships get crowded but the overcrowding is mentioned over and over. Soooo....for that reason I’m looking at other options for our group but want as much information as possible before I speak to everyone. What are the benefits received for a group of our size? Do we choose our benefits or does our TA choose them? Any extra info you can give is very much appreciated 

Thank you!  one point for Royal Caribbean!

A couple of years ago we were on the Allure of the Seas.  We spent every night in the Schooner bar listening to the piano player and singing along!  Can anyone tell me if they have the same entertainment on the Harmony of the Seas?  It is pretty important to the group so I'm trying to find out as much information as possible to decide on a couple of different ships.
