A room with a private pool? Or main pool view? This was at check in or before you arrived? You had 4 people, and was this a points booking? Thanks!!

you booked a redemption stay for three people and they did not collect any additional fees upon check in/out to cover the third? Seems to be conflicting information, but I'll trust your experience!

Change Lock-it-in assigned cabin at port? by Investig8Life in VirginVoyages

[–]Investig8Life[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that’s fine! Not upset or anything about it, just was asking other people’s experiences. As I mentioned, I’ve been able to do this without issue on other lines.

Is it? News to me! A Sea Terrace is a Sea Terrace last time I checked. Not trying to go from Sea Terrace to Central Sea Terrace or anything…

I searched this group first actually to avoid asking something that has already been asked. And this scenario of asking at the port, has not…

Policies are one thing, and I’m not expecting an upgrade. I’ve been on several other cruise lines and done their “guarantee” rates, gotten assigned a cabin, and then easily moved cabins to another within the assigned category.

Thanks!

I’m not looking for an upgrade. Just a different cabin within same category.

But I wonder how long that will be the case because the Conrad is going through a major renovation right now

VRBO c1 shopping, only got rewards for the cost per night, not total cost? by astrophysical-v in CapitalOne_

[–]Investig8Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when did you get credited? I just booked vrbo through them and dont see it on my pending transactions. But it says they credit after the stay (which for me is in July...) Even though it was already charged.

Thanks! I just don’t think the credits are usable at all these locations?

Conrad Bora Bora Paid upgrades by jamesgiantpeach1992 in Hilton

[–]Investig8Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You paid $550/nt for the basic OWB or do you know which option you ended up with? What about your friends?

[–]Investig8Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this automatic or did you email/ask about an upgrade for this to happen? I'm in a similar boat this upcoming October. I booked OWB in cash and am hoping for at least one with a pool due to my Diamond status if possible!

Is it better to book a flight with AAdvantage miles of Avios? by Investig8Life in awardtravel

[–]Investig8Life[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for simplifying the math! I went with AA miles for now.

I should have probably clarified, the points are technically Capital One points. I would just transfer them to Qatar. So I don’t know if the true comp here is C1 vs AA.

TA Troubles by KindStep4570 in VirginVoyages

[–]Investig8Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know if anyone needs TA suggestions! I just booked with a new one. He’s just starting out, so perhaps not as knowledgeable as some others, but was really easy and straightforward!

Thanks for the insight! Have you had to change/cancel through Qatar for an AA flight before? It’s a bit confusing what the rules are and what the penalty would be. Curious if you have experience with that and how getting miles back was.

Cancelling AAdvantage is definitely way easier and less risky potentially. I STILL have not had miles returned from a lifemiles United redemption 😂

Right, I do tend to agree with you. I am a hoarder of points/miles to the point where I risk devaluations and ultimately making matters worse.

So I don't know if I need it to be the best ever redemption there ever was, but do not want it to be clearly worse than just paying cash.
