My cruise didn't drop in price so I missed out, along with numerous others on the cruise.

Not True This promotion did not start directly after covid so anyone who had booked a cruise before this promotion was advertised missed out on the double points even though their cruise was within the dates required. Those who showed loyalty and booked straight away as soon as they could were not rewarded

i would have everything tidied up into black bags and put out onto the street for them! Either for binmen to take away or for them to move out and find their own place!

Not my problem! No matter where I am in the world I do what I want and no one ( apart from my better half ) will tell me otherwise! Poor service or food in US, UK or Outer Mongolia gets the same tip! Nothing...couldn't care if its making up someone's wages im not rewarding poor standards If things are good then I tip and usually above the recommended but im not going to tip just because its the way

You seem to think Europeans don't tip! We do! but only for good service or good food! We do not to tip extra just to subsidice someone's wages! And as someone who previously worked in an industry dealing with tourists I can tell you that Americans are tighter than 2 coats of paint when it comes to parting with their money. If a taxi driver gets out of his cab and assists you with luggage or any other items you don't think they deserve a tip? Cabbies in NYC just push a button to open car boot and leave you to lift luggage in yourself and still expect a tip!

Royal building new port 20 minutes from Rome?
Ray replied to Jill's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Was 1st reported and all over the news on 6th of March. Planning permission has not yet been granted, as this plan which has been ongoing with other companies trying to build a port since 2010 has objections, which is to be expected. -
And here is why we are loyal to the RCL brands!

No cruiseline is perfect! Me personally I would rather have people fighting in a bar than a cabin steward hiding under a bed filming my kids undress while masterbating! https://nypost.com/2024/10/21/lifestyle/royal-caribbean-crew-member-filmed-nearly-1000-passengers-in-bathrooms-using-hidden-cameras-hid-under-their-beds-lawsuit/ -

Shouldn't make much of a difference as Americans have been disliked across the world for years due to their arrogance and looking down on everyone else .

Says offer ends on 16th Feb however when you click link on Avios to open up and read fully (that's where my original screenshot came from) it shows last year's dates as per screenshot.
-
Doesn't make any sense as it Says bonus is only for bookings made between 28th Nov and 3rd Dec last year on T&Cs Also it says bookings must be made through website or by phone, no where does it say bookings can be made at guest services onboard

I had to laugh when I read about this on the blog home page as I get more points per pound for my just eat takeaway delivery lol T&Cs on Avios page say bookings must be made on RC UK, ireland or Spain site so I'm not sure how you can pay in $ as was mentioned on blog homepage. Also no Casino, military discounts etc can be used! In fact I'm sure you cannot even use Tesco vouchers if claiming Avios. Avios flights are direct only( no connections) with AIG carriers.

Is it a tent or is it a operational unit where the outer structure is made of canvas? If you purchase an excursion or transfer your luggage tag number is also the number of the bus you get onto. Once your disembarkation number has been called you disembark ship and walk about 50 metres to collect your luggage ( sorry no porters to do this for you ) once you locate your luggage you follow sign for exit and walk about 50 metres back towards ship and board bus with same number as your luggage tag. It's very simple and very well organised.

We quickly realised that most independent shops in Croatia, Greece and Italy preferred cash! We got a lot more discount if handing over cash instead of using plastic!

On the brightside, no porters saved you 5 bucks not having to bribe, sorry I mean tip to ensure your cases make it onto the ship
