Baked Alaska reacted to CanHardlyWait in Safety hazard and how to escalate further up
Respect the facts in the replies.
Children in Beds (not the floor)
Adults in Pullmans.
Royal Caribbean gave you an option/cabin that was safe for the age and size of the people involved. You chose and choose to not see it that way.

If you are trying to effect change for future builds, all you can really do is log the suggestion/complaint. There really are no next steps there. If you want to switch to a room that's guaranteed to have the bed setup you desire on your future sailing, you need to pay for the upgraded room.

Baked Alaska reacted to tjcruisers in Safety hazard and how to escalate further up
Was just about to post that. One cruise we had 2 pullmans and a sofa. My one son didn't want to sleep in the pullman so he sleep on the sofa.

Government agency??? You can’t be serious

She is out of luck on this point. Who says the Pullman's, sofa beds, etc are for children. I would have slept in the Pullman and put my kids in the bed, not on the floor.

Exactly my point - if you want an interior cabin for lower cost, parental convenience doesn't have to be a "thing." We did what worked for us. The OP believes that Royal should provide other options at low cost.

True, the adults could sleep in the pullmans if there are concerns about the children sleeping in them.

Technically they did offer you are cabin that accommodates your party. Beds for children and Pullmans for adults.

A good travel agent would be aware of the room configurations and find you a room that's available with the sofa bed accommodations you are seeking or suggest other ships that might have those options.
Most inside cabins are smaller and would not have the space for a sofa bed, which is why they tend to have pullmans. A solution if you really need the cheaper in price accommodations and are concerned with safety would be to sleep the children on the beds and put the adults in the pullmans. It's not ideal, but it would give you back the floor space.

I disagree that there is no way to identify staterooms with a sofa bed. Deck plans show which rooms have a convertable sofa vs. Pullmans. Do your homework before booking. Is it quick and easy during the booking process? No. Is it impossible to get the information in advance? Also no.
I would also note that the implications that Royal should not allow a room with Pullmans to be booked with children younger than "permitted" to use a Pullman or that Royal is not "accomodating a family with young children" because of the existence of Pullmans as the lower cost option are both invalid. If you want the cheaper stateroom, the children can use the regular beds and the parents can use the Pullmans. We did exactly this when our youngest child was seven but very small - regular beds were Mom and youngest, Pullmans were Dad and older child.

If this post is real, then it's a good reason to work with a travel agent.

Baked Alaska reacted to Matt in CocoCay music levels?
Chill Island has no music. They purposefully dont play music there to adhere to the name.
Doesn't mean it's a library, just that the line doesn't try to convey the party vibe there.

Baked Alaska reacted to CanHardlyWait in More Out of Control CocoCay Pricing
Ok, I gotta call this particular sailings pricing more exception than rule.

I hope Theron posts the final outcome, and not just a post rant and leave. Very bad situation to be in.

Baked Alaska reacted to Sharla in Yet another snafu with final payment due
I always make payments directly to Royal, so I'm not sure about your TA on that one. For a couple of mine they fixed it after a few weeks. For another one they just zeroed out the balance so the client got like $500 off. I can't remember the them all.
We have an excellent escalations team with Royal, so if something goes wrong we have the right people to fix things.

Baked Alaska reacted to AshleyDillo in Online check in on the app a total mess
This is why I like the app. You can select your arrival time first and come back later and fill out the rest of check-in.

Baked Alaska reacted to TessFromFlorida in First time cruiser - biometric or no biometric
I mean no offense, but if you have a passport and a state ID in 2024, if you walk down the street of any major city, fly out of a major airport, or, if according to Snowden, even use a smart phone, this is a moot point. Not trying to be a jerk, but the jig is up- unless you live Kaczynski style-living off the grid- there is no way to escape biometrics when it comes to security.

Baked Alaska reacted to bobroo in San Juan getting a new pier and cruise terminal
I am glad to see that San Juan is going forward with their plan, it has been overdue and a long time coming.
On the other hand, modifications to the ports in San Juan bring nothing but bad memories on how ugly and intimidating the top management of Royal Caribbean can be.
The more successful San Juan's port modifications become, the bigger the middle finger in the face of the bullies of Royal Caribbean. Good for you San Juan! keep up the good work!

Baked Alaska reacted to TessFromFlorida in Yet another snafu with final payment due
Can't make this stuff up... I just received another balance due notice for the same amount. Checked my cards, no refunds, just asking for this $159.18 again. So, paid it through the app, AGAIN, full on Kardashian style- just throw money at it to try and make this issue go away.
The payment received invoice came through and now there is a random casino code (YKD9) attached to the payment 🧐 Every time I have made any kind of price adjustment (reprice when the fare dips) a new code is added - it is very odd- now they slapped a code on this black Friday debacle. Yes, I know- I should have a TA 😇

I think it was- I still don't get it but you know, Royal math and all.

Baked Alaska got a reaction from Neesa in Yet another snafu with final payment due
Props to @Sharla! This outstanding TA saved one of our cruises! We experienced the same issue as @Lovetocruise2002 and @TessFromFlorida, plus it was during the Royal Comeback (post-COVID cruising) if I'm not mistaken.
