Over a £1.50 phone call where the money most likely went to British Telecom, not Royal Caribbean

Another good reason to use a TA
Let them fight with the system issues and talk with Royal on your behalf

"I won't be sailing with them again". 
And we're all broken hearted about that.

I didn't have an issue with the Wow Band, worked very well for us on Anthem though we did get it for free so that may have influenced my opinion
Never heard that rule regarding taking them off in the water, we went in to the pool with them on most days. The plastic band didn't really bother me as I wear my fitbit and its band is plastic as well so I guess I'm used to that.
If I had to point at a negative I would say that taking off the band for the drinks, but it was minor. I would rather do that then worry about my sea pass falling out of my shorts when at the pool
I guess it does come down to peoples personal preference, for me the Wow band made my day that little bit easier and couple that with the fact I didn't have to pay for it made it a plus in my book 

Yea flights close to the time of cruise departure always make me nervous. My wife will tell you I am uber organised and will have things scheduled down to a tee. I'm not happy until my face is pressed up against the Cruise Terminal glass waiting for them to open, only then will I relax

I received good news via email today! They made an additional Key available for me! I'm glad I won't have to watch my 13 year old eat lunch at Chops without me now ?

You mean you’ll “Sea” yourself out 

More like Pier Pressure ? ........ I'll see myself out

@princevaliantus - I think what they ment here is the first week of April 2019

There are plenty of available cruises to the Antarctic without having to intentionally sail with a bunch of whack jobs.

If you go into the description of the activity it should be under "Know Before You Go"
Hopefully they will have put this in all activities that have an additional fee but the app is still a bit hit or miss with details at times

Well , we all know what there is behind the ice wall 
 

Do not worry , if they will not find what they are looking for they will tell you its all part of the conspiracy of the captain with the the dark forces of the world ? 

Was on cruise planner checking beverage package pricing and decided to review our shore excursions as well. Turns out one of our excursions has gone down $50/person! Was able to call and rebook at the lower price like usual. Looked like a lot of the excursions for our May Allure sailing have gone a bit. 
 
Make sure you check all your prices and hunt the best deals, even after you book!

Like you say, these things happen and can be really disappointing but no one was seriously hurt and people around seemed to jump to help which is even better to see.
There is always the vocal minority that will complain that something out of everyone's control has affected them and will/are demanding RC do more than they currently are because they are now inconvenienced.
Its good to see that the ones on the board take it in their stride and look at other alternatives. Sets a good example for ones like myself who haven't experienced the disappointment of a cancelled cruise but if it does happen to me I hope I have learnt how to deal with it from yourselves.

The only ones they should really help are the ones getting married anboard they could offer guests on other ships a compensation package to give up thier cabins so the wedding and thier guests can get married as planned...
but all in all it’s just a cruise take it on the chin and move on otherwise it will eat up up and make you very bitter..?

I think I need to buy a lottery ticket. I did retry as they offered and today I got an email....Royal up came through with a balcony cabin?

No deaths...

 
 

In my opinion, online reviews of cruises are worthless. They provide entertainment at best, but I sincerely hope people do not base their decision to book a cruise or not based on irrational online reviews.
I wrote a blog post on why online reviews of cruise ships should be ignored: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2018/07/24/trying-answer-the-most-common-royal-caribbean-question
