PLANNING
I made the mistake of booking directly with RCL. In the end, it ended up being a good idea as the quality of the service and initial accommodations resulted in an upgrade from OV to SOV balcony.
When I spoke with the RCL res. agent I was very clear on my needs re: our two small kids and where they would be sleeping. The same day I made the reservation with him, I called him back only to be brushed off. I e-mailed him a few times only to not get a reply to the e-mails.
