Jolly Ogre

The word "buttocks" is rarely used in American English oral speech. But when it is, it's likely pronounced the same way Forrest Gump did.

I see grumbling such as this, often.  Go to  an X-Rated show, then complain it was disgusting.  Are folks just plain unable to think for themselves?  I am not sympathetic. 

I will be enjoying this on my upcoming Sept cruise.

Pizza from Sorrento's, drink from the bar and playing Dragon Link while watching the 70's party on the Royal Promenade.  Can this get any better?

I'm sorry, but that's not going to solve anything and hurts the wrong people.
The corkage fee has been a published policy for years (dare I say, decades). Up until now, we've gotten a reprieve so we're ahead of the game with all those bottles that never got charged. 
This isn't a new policy or a surprise. It's them actually enforcing the rules they've had for a long time.
Plus, I don't see how taking away gratuities from your cabin attendant or dining room staff teaches anyone any lesson.

It is not the wait staff fault for having to enforce the policies it is management's fault for creating the nick and dime policy in the 1st place.
Our waiter informed us of the policy before getting my consent to proceed. Very nice and professional of him to do so. He even stated that I should open it in my stateroom before and then bring it in to avoid the charge. We were not going to go back and do that so I just let him proceed.
 

My Izumi reservations are booked & paid for yet do not have the reserved banner in my CP.

If we get dinged on our upcoming September cruise, I'll be visiting guest services to remove all of my prepaid gratuities and let them know they lost several hundred bucks for the sake of gouging me for $15 or $25 or $42.
Gotta send a tough love message to the corporate finance and marketing folks.

I'm guessing that hurts staff more than RCL management. Just a thought.

Just got off Enchantment of the Seas and yse got dinged for the $15 corkage fee.
1st time ever got charged.

110 days out and still no room assignment. Will keep watch and see when it shows up.

...and here I thought you were a healer.  😜

You can always step up to us bearded folks and talk to us. We only bite a little bit at first...lol

I looked for you (at least, what I thought MIGHT be you) but never had the guts to go up to a stranger and ask them if they are the Jolly Ogre !  🤣
It was a great cruise for us, too.  After 10 nights on EN though, we were ready to get off.  🤭  We're on Wonder now and it's such a stark difference.  When I step onto an O class ship after being on some of the smaller sisters, I am ALWAYS amazed at how much more there is to these big ships....it's like I'd never seen a big ship before !  ...but we still love the little ones, too.

Well it was a very relaxing cruise. Did not get to see you.

They do not provide "free" water bottles. Bring your own and fill them up from the water dispensers but use a glass to do so, not straight from the dispenser to the bottle.

Now the itineraries show up.

No bottled water is not provided for free and no you are not allowed to give your son water bottles acquired from your beverage package. Why bottled would water be any different from any other beverage when it comes to being able to share???

Yeah if you plug in the code nothing shows up at all.
