Yup! Cruise lines want to make money. eSIM is probably the most affordable way if you buy the right plan and understand how it works.

Thank you so much for the information I’ll think about the eSIM I do have a cruise coming up next month.. but I will take my satellite phone it works with no problems

You are among many! Fun smaller ship. 🥰

No charge. But you need to slide the card to set the password and then slide the same card to open it again. It’s possible they have a different style safe in different rooms. We had interior and that was how it worked.

I am with you! Prime is enough for me too. Now I wouldn’t turn down a mega jackpot that would push me over the top. 😄 Yes, set a budget and when you’re done you’re done.

We Subscribed!!!❤❤❤

Ohh I so excited for you both! You’re going to have a wonderful time and the Freedom is such a beautiful ship. 🛳️ 🩵

So glad to have you!!

No, you didn’t miss it. Good call out!! I didn’t discuss partners and how you can combine to work together. 😊 Glad you mentioned it!

Thank you for watching! 🩵-Barb

You are so welcome! 🤗 it makes me happy to know someone is enjoying them.

Thank you! I hope I’m understanding your question correctly. If you cruised in January 2025 and you’re cruising in March 2025 points earned on those two cruises will be added together to establish your tier ranking. You start with choice and if you hit 2500 points between your two cruises, you would then be Prime. Even though points do reset April 1 You would still be prime all the way until March 31 of 2026 -during this time you will get offers from club Royale for free cruises. You can check this by going to clubroyale.com entering in your last name and your Crown And Anchor number this is where you see all of your offers show up. you’ll tend to see offers every single month. You can’t pick any cruise, but they’ll give you a list to choose from sailing from different ports at different times of the year. And then, of course, in April, you will get your free cruise, which pretty much lets you pick a 7-8 night cruise or less on just about any ship with the exception of new ships. There’s some limitations. Separately on each cruise and it doesn’t matter which tier you are, The points you earn on that individual cruise will give you a Cruise reward. This is the sign that you’ll see posted at the Host desk. And yes, you don’t need to hit 2500 points on that individual cruise to earn a free cruise. You could possibly hit 1500 points and get an interior cabin or just money off of your next cruise. If you get an offer like that, there may be a sale by date, but you need to go to the next Cruise booking while you’re on that ship to set that up. At least put down a deposit. You don’t necessarily need to pick your cruise at that time. it’s a lot of information I know and I have sons your age who also enjoy gambling in the casino so I understand. Feel free to reach out to me on messenger. If you have any additional questions have fun on utopia.😄 once you hit prime go on a website called URComped and sign up for their program. You’ll just need your Crown And Anchor number with proof that your prime and you’ll get offers from multiple cruise lines. - Barb

You’re right! They are definitely in control and we are just along for the ride.

I guess nothing is a sure thing when it comes to cruising. I hope it all works out for everyone.

Agree! Great point on keeping an eye out on our rates!

100%!

This is what RCCL says " We’ll transfer your current booking to the new sail date you choose, in the exact same suite or like-for-like stateroom currently booked - at no additional cost to you." So I guess you have a shot at your orig. room if you book quickly.

@@CruiseSavvy What you are stating now is correct. But this is NOT what you said in your video. You said "same stateroom" in the video.

Unbelievable. We maybe Royal to Loyal.. but they haven't proven they are Loyal to us.

I totally understand. We all paid a LOT more money to be on the "Inaugural" sailing. As another comment mentioned, let's keep an eye out on our rates. Maybe they come down some.

Ohh and I hope to find your ducks!!

Thanks for watching! 🛳️ Barb

You’re very welcome! 😊

Yes! That is exactly what I use.

@ Perfect! Thank you!

Oh fun!!

Check your planner for your sailings prices as they vary.

Thank you!! Welcome to the family. ~ Barb 🩵

Glad to help. Thanks for watching. ~ Barb

I am with you. It really does have a lot to do with the Dealer when playing table games as they are the ones putting in your average bet, time in seat etc. That all determines your points. I play slots to I hit Prime, then I play everything else. Good Luck!

You are very welcome! I have spent the last 34 yrs in telecom. But it is STILL confusing and many people end up with these crazy high bills. I am glad it helped you and I hope you enjoy your cruise! - Barb

Yes! They do. That is very thoughtful of you. :)

If you bought the wifi (internet) plan from the cruise line, NO you do not need another plan from AT&T. Unless you need to make calls on land in another country, then you may want an international plan. That will ONLY cover calls while in that country though, not on the ship.

Yes, connect to the ships wifi while on airplane mode. 😃

Yes!!! I always booked on my own feeling I could get the best price but I was convinced by a friend to use him as a travel agent. Travel agents can get group rates even if you’re not traveling with a group you can still get a group rate. These rates are usually a few hundred dollars less than any other sale or cabin, you can find on your own. They also have access to provide onboard credit. Plus, if you ever need to call the cruise line to check on something or if something doesn’t look right the Travel Agent calls for you and you don’t have to wait online forever. Another benefit is they have systems that alerts them if your cabin price drops they can rerate your cabin for you and make sure you continue to get the lowest price out there.

That’s the way!!! Glad you got a great deal. 🩵

I will pray 🙏 she loves it so you all can cruise as much as possible 🩵🎰

Great question. Seapass cards have a unique identifier (number) so when you’re making a call from your cabin you must provide that information. Check with Guest Service as it may vary by cruise line. (Just like the rates!)

That’s wonderful! 🤗

Carry on only. Good question. 👍

Exactly!! Another big win. 🩵

Thank you 😊

Thanks for watching 🛳️

Oh no! I was thinking about Disney and said Carnival. I will cut that from the video and add information in the description. Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it. The last thing I want to do is give someone the wrong information.

Thank you 😊

You’re right, especially if traveling to European countries. Now, if you do get it taken away from you from the cruise line, they hand it back at the end of the cruise so there is always that if needed.

Your cabin is 🤗

I do it all the time, most recently end of Oct. Read the information at the Host desk. You have to make a Book Later reservation at Next Cruise before you disembark or you will not get your bonus awards earned during that cruise.

Hi! They are both complimentary! No extra charge. :)
