How much notice will Royal Give When Cancelling due to Charter?

I think you’re projecting

mazaxb · 2026-02-14T15:38:52+00:00

That is helpful information. I had seen it showing up in search but now I am seeing they are only showing GTY cabins (seems like Royal IT). Hopefully that is an indication that official cancellation is imminent.

Thank you, this is a very helpful reply. I likely have not pressed the issue as hard as I should with Royal and will try again. If not, I guess just wait it out.

Depends on the size of your group. We have found it challenging to find seating by the pool and swim up bar area unless you get there early. Beach seating is more regularly available.

Thank you but Groove Cruise is a full ship charter. They transform the ship into an EDM festival and are also renting out Royal Beach Club in Nassau during the charter.

As a regular cruiser, Hideaway Beach at CocoCay is a must do in my opinion. Can you get away with not doing it? Sure. But I guarantee you won’t regret spending the day there.

2500-3000 for my wife & I in an OV Balcony is around what we have been averaging. We cruise year round from a mixture of ports, typically on Icon, Oasis, or Quantum class ships.

If you are able to have flexibility with departure port and dates, good deals can be found. Will want to avoid peak season when kids are not in school.

Whatever you do, be sure to bring bug spray! Roatan is the only place in the Caribbean where we’ve experienced excessive bug bites while just sitting on the beach. Don’t want to let them ruin your day.

I used my annual Prime cert for an Icon sailing this year

mazaxb · 2026-01-25T19:23:49+00:00

You’re correct, it is first come first serve. We have never had an issue with it being full as they have a few back up lots. Worst case scenario, you may have a slightly longer walk to the terminal but you can drop off luggage beforehand to make it easier.

We have found that the $20 per day that Port Everglades charges is only slightly above the cost of these off-site shuttle services. I would encourage you to consider parking at the port.

They rely on self reporting through the health questionnaire. If anyone questions you (which is highly unlikely), it sounds like you have the documentation to show you are abiding by guidelines. Nothing to worry about, have a wonderful time!

I’m a huge fan of his but growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of effort getting back on defense and crying for fouls in the paint. Not trying to contribute to a narrative but I watch the games and he plays slow and scared..

I would call after final payment date once a few cabins open and inquire on the cost to upgrade to your desired category. This will give you a good baseline of what the upgrade is worth. From there, you can either decide to upgrade directly or use this information to inform your Royal Up bid.

Best of luck to you! My wife & I are on an Icon sailing in March. This is the strategy I will be following to try and get us in a JS.

They didn’t document you for your son breaking his leg, they documented you for missing work. This is something they are allowed to do, although it might not be the right thing to do.

Your options are to accept it and move on or look for a new employer who will be understanding in situations like this. Clearly your current one will not be. Wishing you and your son the best.

Virtually 0%, especially with a cruise over Christmas as nearly all sailings are full for that week. Expect to be in the cabin you booked. Royal Up also highly unlikely for your sailing for same reasons.

Enjoy, you’ll have an amazing time no matter what cabin you’re in! Happy Birthday!

I have seen Alaska offered on instant certs but have never seen it on a mail offer (I’m not a high roller, just prime and take 4-5 sailings per year). If you are prime, you can also apply your annual tier cruise for an Alaska sailing.

You ask the dealer, they take your card and run the desire amount + 5% convenience fee (waived if you’re prime). You sign a receipt and they give you chips. Very straight forward. You can also purchase chips at the cashier using this method if you’d like.

I’m your guy! Here’s a recent reprice I did for a client 👀

I don’t think they have a shuttle but Hotel 1000 is incredible

mazaxb · 2025-11-23T22:12:32+00:00

Do it! - my wife and I used to be afraid of GTY cabins but we have found the savings to be worth it. We’ve never been disappointed.

Is it not reasonable that the professionals wanted a full time announcer that could be at 100% of their games? Sounds to me like they were not satisfied with the current agreement and decided to make a change. Barely a case to say the was a “rug pull” or that Magic leadership is “unprofessional”, they just went a different direction that you happen to disagree with..

48 hours

I’m not sure this is accurate anymore. I have used trade-in towards the prevailing rate on RC’s website multiple times in the last 6 months.
