REAS Question

[Princess Tink]

Okay, so now that the SPA prices have went through the roof...how many are booking the REAS package?

I'm getting a little nervous here, we were just going to book messages once we boarded. As we didn't feel the extras would be worth the difference. However, now that it's going to cost nearly the same for a couples message as it would the REAS package..........we're re-thinking this, and we leave in 8 days!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I booked the REAS for Nov before I knew the spa prices went up ... and now I'm glad I did!!

If the price will be close, you will get the extras, PLUS not have to deal with the ressie rush--- WHy not? I can't think of one reason!!!

I just booked REAS for Aug. Called Debbie and she gave me all my ressies for palos and spa. I'm glad I did it now in case the prices do go up. I like to have everything ready, I had a knot in my stomach about the rush they say goes on when you get on board trying to get to palos and the spa to get ressie. One less thing to worry about.

tink5- You were able to set the spa and Palo dates/times already? Did you call Debie direct? Thanks!!

 

[ivanova]

what number do you call??

 

[tink5]

Yes she set everything up. I got my palos brunch and dinner ressies and my spa ressies and she also gave me the dining rotation I wanted.

The first time I called Debbie wasn't there and someone else (I don't know her name) told me that Debbie wouldn't even look at these until 14 days before my cruise!! So I called back the next day, which was yesterday, and finally talked to Debbie. She was so nice she gave me all the times and dates I wanted.

Call the DCL 800 number and ask for Debbie at ext# X67411.

Thanks everyone for the advise. I called yesterday, and I can honestly say I'm glad I did. We booked REAS through our TA, as the DCL rep I spoke to told me, very rudely I might say, that they will not help me that I must call my TA. Anyhow, after the first call to my TA I called Debbie and left a message with her supervisor to have her call me. She called me back later in the afternoon, and yes she is a wonderful person. I made my dinner reservations, brunch reservations, spa treatment, and requested my dinner rotation. Whew, I feel so much more relieved!

Just wanted to ask everyone who is getting the REAS package..do you have kids? And if so how is that handled w/ the turn down service and breakfast? I've been thinking about adding on the package for our cruise in Sept. but have not made up my mind d/t the kids being with us. I just wasn't sure how or what to do about the kids on the breakfast morning....I suppose we could order them room service for breakfast to arrive around the same time.

Any input??

And with the REAS package what spa treatments can you choose from?

 

[tink5]

When I talked to Debbie she said just to go ahead and order breakfast for the kids too. I didn't even ask she just told me to. She's very nice. Our kids are 16, 13, and 6. Hope this helped.

we just booked it for the 12/28 (New Year's) cruise - I think the current quote on the DCL page says "price through 12/31/04) and our cruise is through 1/04/05 so we wanted to book it before they decide to raise the price due to the spa rates going up.

We think we know which nights we want Palo (our friends booked it too so we'll go together and get 2 visits!) but we're not planning to call Debbie yet. I'm wondering if they'll swap nights a bit on this cruise due to New Year's being on Grand Cayman day (not usually a formal/semi-formal night) so we might wait to hear more on that first.
