I have a few questions.
1. Is there a way that I can sign up, or be informed of....specials for Royal Pacific Resort? I can't find a place that I can do this with...
2. I am going March 17-25, 2009. When I was first trying to make the reservation, I couldn't do it online. I was told it was because the rates aren't out yet for that time period (a travel agency told me this also). BUT...when I called by phone, I was able to make a reservation and have that cost at a locked rate, so it won't go up when the rates ARE released. My cost is: 309.00 per night at the Royal Pacific Resort (during a peak time - Spring Break), and then 324.00 on the weekend nights. When I'm reading other discussion boards, everyone seems to be getting their rates at half the cost I am quoted. Is my rate ridiculously high?
3. I have AAA - how and when will specials come out?
4. I've read about a so-called 'Entertainment rate'. I know that there is a book of this. But I've also read that that Loew's (owners of Universal's on site hotels) no longer takes this. Any comments...or info on this?
5. Does Royal Pacific Resort have a store to buy milk for kids, OJ, doughnuts, etc?
6. How much is it to rent a fridge per day? If I am understanding correctly, there is a fridge that is stocked and they will give you a key. They'll also check it daily to see (if) what you've used. I don't want to pay 50.00 for a coke...he he...so I am wondering if it's best to get a cooler at a store, or if I should just rent a fridge so my son can have milk every night. If they don't sell milk and cokes there, then why would I get a cooler? (make sense?)
7. Are there fridges in the standard rooms at Royal Pacific Resort?
8. Club level at RPR was quoted at 80.00 more per night. Is it worth this much? What do you get? Has anyone on this board been on club level there....if so, opinions?
9. I know Disney has made it that all hotel/resort rooms are non-smoking. Has Loew's hotels (Universal Resorts) followed this?
10. I heard there are 3 towers at RPR. Which towers have certain things? Which is the best tower for a pool view?
11. What is a supersaver rate?...and how would I get it?
12. Dinner reservations: I know Disney does the whole 180 day thing. What about Universal/Loew's restaurants? How soon can I make reservations?
13. What are Spring Break crowds like at Universal? Horrible like at Disney?
