    Tplanav1 got a reaction from Ktcruiser in What's Still Missing?   
    More young people relevant events on the boat. My wife and I love cruising and are in our late 20s. I feel like many of the events such as the 70s dance party are geared towards such an older audience. I have seen what Carnival is doing with their new ship venues including a brewery that is definetly marketed toward millennials, I think Royal needs to jump on board and start marketing toward that generation
     I would also like events on the ship early in the morning. We are the weird people up to run at 6am even on vacation, but there usually aren't any fun events to do during the morning/early afternoon on the ship. 
    An adults arcade type environment similar to a Dave and Busters would be awesome as well (I always feel weird old guy hanging out playing skee ball with a drink in my hand surrounded by little kids).

    Tplanav1 got a reaction from mickjacket in Why do you cruise?   
    My wife and I cruise for a few reasons, the biggest being we get to disconnect from the world. We work crazy hours being in our late 20s trying to grow our careers, so a week without cell phones or the internet is pure heaven. We also love getting to explore multiple locations in one trip, we are trying to identify as many places we would want to do a long term land vacations in the future. Another big reason is we love food and drinking. We live in Charlotte, NC which has a heavy social culture around bars and drinking, so a cruise gives the same environment along with lots and lots of food.

    My girlfriend and I booked our first cruise together about 8-9 months ago to leave the Saturday after thanksgiving. Being new to our careers we went the frugal inside stateroom option for the cheapest possible trip we could, on a whim today I looked online and noticed a balcony room was only $50-100 more for us based on the deals and what I had remembered paying. Get home from work and decided to call customer service to surprise my girlfriend with a balcony when we got there, after about a 15 min convo with the customer service rep going over my reservation she goes I think you can upgrade for $4. I may have blown out her ear drums on the other end of the phone yelling Yes so loud. I go through the process and pay my new remaining $4 balance. Then to make sure I hadn’t had my liquor package effected and her calculation be wrong I go check my account after some time had past, turns out they also gave me $125 in onboard credit as part of the deal. I had figured I wasn’t going to get it and with a $4 upgrade cost I wasn’t going to push my luck. Now November 25th can’t get here fast enough! Just figured I’d share with everyone Incase they have a reservation sitting out there to possibly check.

    I booked it through RC. I'm newish to the Charlotte area (been here 3 years and have failed to actually settle roots to stay until the last 6 months to a year) and hasn't found anyone who knew of a good travel agent with cruise experience here.
