ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

[jesmcan]

I have had my passport for years lol ohh I gotcha I don't know when I called them to ask about the name change they said if you do it with in three months of getting married its free but after that I would have to be $100. I needed to do it for our honeymoon in May anyways so I figured I better just get it over with lol.

Debbie and Pigpig, they are even nicer in person.
 

Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about your bridesmaid. Maybe you can give her the pieces for her birthday or for Christmas?

Also ladies I just went to look at rates to book our anniversary trip for next year. The rates are only out until October and they are almost double what we paid!! Is this possible??? Has anyone else seen this or is just because those dates are so far out?

[kellygrrrl]

yea, I saw this because I'm planning to book May 2012 and rates are $450/night. they run specials in the fall for cheaper spring rates - like right now (or just last week), they were offering 30% off in May 2011. so maybe about 6 months prior they'll start discounting. right now, you're just seeing rack rates but maybe if you check back in mar - apr they'll be lower. otherwise, you could always book with the orbitz trip assurance where they'll match lower rates. but be careful, because I heard that people booking on third-party sites are usually the first to be bumped when the resort is full.

She feels really bad, but what can you do. I bought her bridesmaid dress and personalized all the gifts with her name- what do I do with that? Well, she has the dress because it was sent to her city.  Oh well, I will at least have one friend there lol (my now one bridesmaid) Okay, vent over.

 

On a good note, today at my team meeting, my manager was showing a powerpoint presentation and then the next slide had a pic of me and FI with "Welcome to Lisa's Wedding Shower" and they rolled in a cart of presents, food, and cake (and FI) lol ....was so cute and sweet :-)

Jess with the rates I noticed that they usually have a 30% off sale about 9 months out.

 

When we went for our site visit in April we paid about $330 (for the lowest room category, 2 people).  My wedding is May 1 and rack rates were originally around $450 then dropped to around $300 (2 people in room) and is now up to about $350.  Most people booked when it was down to $300, we haven't seen it lower than that for our time of year.

Hi Jenny!  The sunset time online was pretty accurate.  My ceremony started at 5 and the sun was supposed to set at 6:15, which it pretty much did...The light started going away a little probably around 5:30, it was pretty dark by 6:30.

[jesmcan]

Thanks girls!! phewww I got worried there - but that sounds about right because when we all booked in February we paid $1350 with flight for the week for those in the standard Jr Suite. I will check back again than

[Lisa DSO]

Hey Jenny, have you been contacted by your WC in Mexico? I heard from Zulma once to introduce herself, but she hasn't replied to any messages

[kellygrrrl]

$1350 with flight for a WEEK?! how did you get such a great deal?? did you have a travel agent??

kerri!!! i honestly thought about asking you if you were on this board....but if you weren't i would have sounded like a huge nerd....and my fiance was being a big enough nerd as it was

 

i'm hoping to get my review up for people tonight. but honestly all i can say is if you are worrying - stop and relax and just remember there is no need to worry

 

ps - there is already a group of people talking about going back to celebrate our 1 yr.....and they are bring the idea to US. so trust me, your guests will love it!
