  1. More and more cruisers aging and getting to Diamond level than ever before. Something has to give. You can't just add additional space that the general cruising public can't access, there is already enough exclusive area. Happy if they just keep a small room with a coffee machine and the concierge.
  2. Saying things are terrible makes certain people feel big sometimes. It's just how they are. Some people also like to disagree for the sake of it. Unfortunately if 90% of people like something people will still take as much or notice of the other 10%.
  3. I have no problem with people spending money as they see fit, but the ever increasing areas of the ship where people pay extra to use because they have money or like to give off the impression they do reduces the experience for others. I consider myself privileged because of my upbringing so can afford all this stuff but not my style. The amount of money people have is often nothing to do with how hard they work, just a comment used by those that can.
  4. For someone who claims to speak facts this is one of the most opinionated messages on here.
  5. Depends which way you look at it. It is either a payment for doing a good job, or a bribe to make you do a good job. Some cultures take pride and just do a good job.
  6. The extra $1 is to cover the non tipping culture. Same applies to cruises out of Australia.
  7. To be fair plenty of perks being lost by the majority who don't go star class as well.
  8. Plenty of times. I have cruised enough to be diamond fairly young and my kids who are now in their late teen years have always been treated like crap as soon as they enter the lounge. Kids are mostly charged at the same rate as adults and if a seat is free they should have it. The 4 now 5 drinks is a welcome change to get away from there. My kids are brought up to treat every one equally unfortunately it is not reciprocated by many to them. So many posts on here mentioning how many kids are on each cruise and why can't we have our own space. Guess what you have the choice. It's called Princess.
  9. Or maybe cruise on a line that is not so family friendly. I wish there was a venue without condescending old dudes growling at kids even before they have mucked up.
  10. Exactly, who wants to eat the same thing everyday of the week at home or on a cruise.
  11. So I'm guessing my next cruise departing Jan 04 will still have the old menus. Probably not going to start mid Jan at the earliest.
  12. You need to look at the current sailing for accurate menus. No ships have accurate menus that far out.
  13. So how much are you paying for your dinner in the MDR. First take off your accommodation and associated charges, entertainment, transport expenses and all other meals. About $3.99.
  14. They are constantly advertising sales at very good prices over the next month or 2 even in holiday times. Unfortunately high airfares bring the prices up to more than what I can sail from Sydney. Not overly positive
  15. When 50% of every cruise is first time cruisers I doubt they really care. These loyal customers are much more costly to them.
  16. Just because they are not servicing your room doesn't mean they can't check your door. It would take all of 5 seconds.
  17. Yes but a swim up bar that seats 10 with 7000 onboard.
