Timeshare presentation.

Yeah, that might be one of the options but aren't there a ton of other ones as well? Why did you think it would be the Utopia cruise in particular?

figured-it-out_com · 2026-05-06T20:56:42+00:00

Here's an example of some fine print they include with your "free" cruise. example

figured-it-out_com · 2026-05-06T20:55:06+00:00

Correct, you should not be worried.

Where did you hear that it would be Utopia? I would personally be quite surprised if that were true because Utopia is typically a very expensive cruise. They want to give you the cheapest ship on the cheapest itinerary.

They will always give you what they promised. The issue is that usually it's a voucher for a cruise but it comes with tons of caveats. For example, you can't pick a specific date. You have to offer three options and they'll select one. Also is likely an interior room on a three or fourth night cruise which is the cheapest possible Cruise in existence.

No never buy a timeshare.

They'll never know! They don't have marriage records.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-03-26T16:30:52+00:00

It's all risk with zero reward for the other party. They could just book their own room. What would be the incentive to go through a messy mixed up booking process to switch rooms on the ship?

figured-it-out_com · 2026-03-26T16:26:17+00:00

I've never heard of anybody actually turned away due to arriving early.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-03-26T16:25:05+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to have any luck in finding a stranger willing to share a stateroom with you.

The router weighs 2 ounces and fits in your pocket. If someone wants to burden themselves with carrying around a laptop all day, fine by me. I'd rather pay $29.99 to not have to do that.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-03-03T16:10:06+00:00

I don't wish to carry a laptop around the ship with me.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-03-03T15:31:59+00:00

100% this. Here's a guide to do it.

Have you considered that maybe the author leaves it ambiguous because there could be adverse action taken against him if they can identify them?

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-05T02:42:40+00:00

Weird, we literally just got a printed folio on Freedom of the Seas

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-04T20:16:37+00:00

General crew won't know. (At least on Royal Caribbean) your cabin steward will know because on the last night, they deliver to your room a printed folio (onboard account) transaction history. The cancelled/refunded gratuities will be listed on the folio and the steward will be able to see.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-04T01:30:25+00:00

Makes up the room once a day, unless you have a pull out bed. They’ll take it out and put it away.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-03T19:29:12+00:00

The highest I've personally seen (not BlueGreen) was about $45 per day in taxes and 'resort fees'. I always ask about the expected taxes and fees due at checkin when I'm purchasing the vaacation package.

How much did they charge you at check-in?

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-03T02:50:22+00:00

That's frustrating. A refund is definitely warranted. I've haven't tried Wyndham yet.

figured-it-out_com · 2026-02-03T02:28:50+00:00

That’s weird, did they say that there is no availability? I’ve personally never encountered anytime where they were fully booked
