Nope, you won't be alone.....But we're not in the R & R group. We booked this on our own and saved about $1700. Yes, we would have loved to be with the group but just couldn't justify the $$$$$. Hope to see you on board.:a040:

Could u give us ur secret on how you were able to save that much money on your own

Kelsie52 01-21-2013 08:50 AM
I feel better now ---thought we would be dancing alone --we are on bus #4

I did see that you could get a different fare --but it excluded you from the Rocky and Roller shows, party and bus --figured we would try it once to see how things worked out

see you all there !!! I will be the one with the poodle skirt

We saved the money by going thru Direct Line Cruises which we've used for 10 other cruises. Matched the fare we are paying for a Junior Suite versus what it would have cost for the R & R cruise package. BUT, we don't get to enjoy the shows, bus trip and various gatherings by not booking thru AAA. If we were richer we would have booked with the group but couldn't swing it this time.

My husband and I looked into booking the cruise directly through Royal Carribean. Besides all the things you mentioned that wouldn't be included, it also didn't include the Port Charges, Taxes, Gratuities, etc. I've never heard of Direct Line Cruises. We'll have to look into it for the next time. Thanks for the info. Trish

We're from Buttonwood also, and are on Bus #6. Everyone we know is on Bus #5 LOL. Well, I told my husband, since we won't be sitting with people we know, we'll be lucky to meet new friends. I wonder how many buses there are? Where in Buttonwood are you? Trish

Sadie, I forgot to mention that it included all taxes and port charges. We have MTD so the tips were extra. We also got $100 OBC.

Bettiboop 01-24-2013 08:52 AM
Have a great time rockin' n rollin'! Will look forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Take lots of pics!

Earlyriser 01-24-2013 06:16 PM
Yes. See you Sunday! We went with AAA because the shows are the reason we're going on this cruise. Love Mary Jo Vitale, for one.

Next Years Cruise
 
We will miss this years cruise as we are not yet in TV but would be interested in next years.

As we tend to plan cruises far in advance, if anyone can provide any details of next years cruise, we would very much appreciate it.

Thanks and happy sailing to all that are attending this year.

Mimivillager 01-25-2013 07:12 AM
Hey, you-all! We are not going with you but have cruised with Royal Caribbean 21 times and love the cruise line.

Make sure you sign up for the Crown and Anchor program when you are on the ship.

Also sign up right away for reservations(free) for all the RCI shows onboard. You will be glad you did. Then you can go to the shows at times that will fit in your schedule for dinner and other things going on around the ship which you want to partake in. And you won't have to wait in line to get into the shows in the last 10 minutes before the show starts. Those with reservations get in up to an hour before the show and can choose your seats.

The ice show is fantastic, not to be missed!

We love, love, love the Independence of The Seas. We were just on The Oasis! What a fabulous ship!!
Have a great time!
