    Line-cutters and seat-savers. No, it doesn’t matter that you just have a quick question; there’s still a line of people at guest services, all trying to get answers to their quick questions. No, it doesn’t matter that you got here on time and your three-generation family is on its way; all the people you are shooing away from “your” seats actually cared enough about the show for their entire party to be on time.

    People in the windjammer taking food…Taking a bite and then putting it back.  Actually happened and one of the workers had to remove the whole container of food 
    People vaping in the theater…Thinking no one would notice.
    Someone not waiting for people to get off an elevator before getting on.
    People playing their music on Bluetooth speakers loud enough for the whole ship to hear.

    One thing I hope I see is people having fun and people just being grateful to be able to cruise and just forget about the real world for a week and be excited and have passion in life.

    Having just gotten up the courage, after much support from my teenaged daughters, to actually be brave enough to show my cancer scars in a bathing suit on my upcoming cruise, I'm just crossing my fingers that I don't show up as a "cringe-worthy" line item on this lovely list.

    Fat shaming. FWIW, it only reflects badly on the person doing it.

    I have issues with people who let's their children cause chaos while they sit and relax.
    I'm a mom myself so its nothing specifically against kids. But you actually have to parent them. If you have to pick your kid up in the middle of a tantrum and exit the room, I totally get it and will give you a solidarity head nod with "been there" look. But if you are going to sit down drinking while your kids cquse mayhem and just look the other way....not ok.

    I agree with you, it’s not a laughing matter. I actually am envious of the confidence a plus size male or female has to wear something that others would perceive as completely unflattering and not have a care in the world.

    People who gladly share their opinion that only certain size women should wear certain types of clothes and the boneheads that laugh with him (notably usually a man who has zero room to talk about someone else or ones that last succeeded at secondary school sports).

    Walking up to the bar after clearly seeing other people are waiting and placing a drink order w/o asking the others if they have been helped. Bartender is not to blame as they see 10,000 customers all day long and don’t know who is next in line.

    People who allow their young children to play as if they were at an outdoor playground when they are actually inside at the Cafe promenade. Kids were chasing each other around other occupied tables.
    I really don't understand when it became acceptable for people to allow their children to bother other people.

    Heck, I don't even wear that stuff in normal daily life. Do I have political opinions? Sure, but I don't need to advertise them to everyone I meet.

    Oh boy, this is a big one these days. I just dont understand the need to wear political clothing on a ship. All it does it serve to start arguments, or at the very least a lot of dirty looks.

    Political statement clothing. Of any leaning. I like to escape politics on vacation. 🍹

    One of the advantages of living in Florida and driving to the port.  I can pack as much as I please.  Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    People who rush the elevator as soon. As the doors open without any regard for those who were waiting before them or those with walkers/scooters/wheelchairs who really need it.

    A group of people walking strung out across the Promenade when it's busy.
    Someone wandering down the Promenade with their head in their phone, not watching where they are going is a close second..

    We all know chair hogs are the top of the list, but what would you add.  This might help 1st time cruisers.

    Cheating at Schooner Trivia....play by the rules....NO PHONES. PLEASE!  Seriously, you win a highlighter or a key fob....there is no trophy. Googling doesn't make you look smarter....instead we all, ok my group and other groups around you that have done this multiple times will all look and just mock you in a low voice at their table.... Usually the common joke is they dont know the prize they won was a key fob.  This is really not about winning its about the interaction and laughter.  losing is part of winning.   Sorry if that offends.

    I currently have 49 points, on my next cruise (Ovation of the Seas, May 13, 2022, Alaska) I'll earn 24 points (double points for Suites and RCCL doubling that).  So, while on that cruise I'll achieve Emerald Status.  On my November cruise (Harmony, 8 day, Caribbean) I'll earn 7 points (not a suite on this cruise).  That will put me into Diamond status.  So, in two cruises, I've gone from Platinum to Diamond.  Too bad I don't get the benefits of Diamond until my 3rd cruise which isn't booked, YET.  
    I really don't care about Pinnacle, I'll never earn that as I'm 70 years old.  But, I can sure try.  I started cruising late in life (even though I'm retired from Port Everglades), thanks to my wife demanding that I start, glad I did, it's great (Thank you, Marian).  But, for the first several years I was loyal to Carnival.  They turned to crap and now I'm loyal to Royal.  If I make it to Diamond +, I'll be very happy.  But, I'm in very good shape, my wife is in very good shape and we'll give it a good go.  Well, that's as long as we get inflation under control.  
    No, I don't live in the Villages nor do I intend to.  Those people are OLD! 😀

    Kirsten reacted to AshleyDillo in Cruise Planner...How often will RCL put discounts up prior to your trip?   
    Just track the bottom line pricing and ignore the % off.  The % off is actually off the onboard prices which are dynamic, so they can change daily.  Sometimes a sale price is no cheaper than regular price, or even more!  You can purchase and cancel and repurchase to get a lower price.
