Nexion’s second conference at sea will be held on Harmony of the Seas Sept. 22– Sept. 29, 2018. The seven-night Western Caribbean cruise embarks from the Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Yes! We will have all of the components of CoNexion including informative and entertaining General Sessions, the supplier partner trade show and the best training you will find for all levels of experience!

We are not offering any pre- or post-activities, as we’ll have a full agenda during our week at sea. The exception is Nexion Canada Day (for Nexion Canada members only) which will be held Friday, Sept. 21.

If you are interested in finding a roommate during CoNexion, we encourage you to make a posting on NexionTown in the CoNexion 2018 group.

The dress code during CoNexion functions is resort casual; however, please remember to bring a sweater or jacket, as temperatures may vary. Of course you’ll want to bring your cruise wear for port days and enjoying time on the ship. Day 2 and Day 5 will both be formal nights (cocktail attire) aboard the Harmony of the Seas, please pack accordingly! Don’t forget to pack for our Farewell Reception theme: Purple, yellow, green and red–Wear your favorite Nexion colors from toes to head, Sept. 28.

During registration, you will be asked to list any special needs. Please be specific when describing any special needs.

Yes! Voom internet is offered on all Royal Caribbean fleet ships and is 6x faster than any other internet at sea! RCCL is offering Nexion members a special pricing that is the best in the industry. For those who have not been to a travel conference at sea, paying for internet is customary and a standard business practice. For more information please visit RCCL’s Internet FAQ page here.

You bet! Just as your business changes yearly, so does CoNexion in order to meet your ever-changing needs. Of course this year is the year you do NOT want to miss CoNexion, as we’ll be onboard the beautiful Harmony of the Seas. This year’s CoNexion is also bigger and better than ever and will showcase more engaging workshops, dynamic industry leaders, surprises and prizes galore!

Because CoNexion will be held on one of the industry’s newest and most beautiful cruise ships, we may be holding some of the sessions in unconventional venues! Plus, because we’ll be at sea, we’re thrilled to offer some exciting events and experiences you just can’t experience with a land-based conference!

Our top sponsors receive an attendee list prior to CoNexion, so they can invite you to special events they may have during or around the conference. In addition, we may use video and/or photography of all CoNexion functions and attendees for marketing purposes.

The CoNexion mobile app is now available for download! Here is a reference guide on how to download the app to your phone.

If you plan to add a second person to your stateroom but do not know who that person is when you register, you should reserve a double stateroom. If you don’t know your secondary passenger information when you register, please just register yourself and then once received, please send the secondary passenger information to conexion@nexion.com. Please note, however, that if you do not add a second person, you will be responsible for the entire stateroom double occupancy price minus one prepaid gratuity of $94.50. We have a very limited number of Single Occupancy staterooms available. Therefore, switching from a double stateroom to a single stateroom will not be possible.

Note: When booking a double occupancy stateroom, you will be required to pay the full deposit of $500 USD for two passengers.

Please keep in mind that the cost is for seven nights onboard a new cruise ship on an amazing itinerary, PLUS everything you normally expect from CoNexion. When you factor in expenses of a land-based, four-day/three-night CoNexion, the per diem per person is actually less for CoNexion 2018.

• Royal Caribbean International: 1-888-724-7447
  • (applicable country code)+1-321-953-9003 (outside the United States)

We no longer are able to provide the ships’ fax number.

Process

• Dial the appropriate number above.
• The caller will be asked to enter the credit card number and expiration date.
• The system obtains a real-time hold for $79.50 ($7.95 x 10 minutes) and initiates the call to the ship. The $79.50 hold is the maximum that will be held. Actual charges will be calculated based on the number of minutes used on the call.
• A voice prompt directs the caller to the specific ship.
• The call is connected to the ship.
• The call rings through to the designated department onboard (Radio Station or Purser Desk). The call is then routed to the guest’s stateroom.

The PBX monitors the call. If there is no answer, the call will ring back at the designated department onboard (Radio Station or Purser Desk) and a written message is taken for delivery to the guest’s stateroom.

Billing begins the moment the call rings on the ship. If shipboard personnel does not answer the phone, and the phone rings for 10 minutes, then the customer will be charged for a 10-minute phone call.

Absolutely! That’s why we chose a seven-night cruise, so you can attend CoNexion while still enjoying this amazing new ship and the ports of call.

Our group has been assigned the late dining rotation in the main dining room.

The General Sessions will take place in the theatre so there will not be assigned tables.
