Not cancelling cruises, just port stops in Bermuda

About $13 plus 18%

I would have asked for the head waiter, this is in direct violation of the rules of the program

No, sorry, that is not correct.

We always stay at the Hilton Caribe, FANTASTIC

On Harmony this past July, every room had a blank sea pass card “pre installed” in the slots and they were never removed.

If you have 24 hour complimentary room service, then I assume you are in a Star Class suite; in this case anything you order is complimentary. If you aren't in a suite, I would like to know the origins of your complimentary room service.

No boarding - no points

generally speaking travel protection is never refundable Could you imagine calling Allstate 8 months in to a 12 month auto policy and asking fro your money back?

Cash out what vouchers?

I have over 300 days at sea (and am Catholic). I have never seen a Catholic mass on board. I have heard that if a priest happens to be on board that they can perform a mass if they are inclined, but Royal does not provide a priest and mass as a matter of course.

I’ve had retailers in the US outright refuse to accept them

Interesting, I can go to my bank (in the US) and get currency from any major economy worldwide. This isn’t possible in Europe? I am almost certain I have utilized currency exchanges on my visits there.

Take the refund

May I suggest some US $1 bills

yep

No one wants tipped with a coin

Heck, you will even find some places in the USA hesitant to take $2 bills.

While not "on Island" we like the Hilton Nasa Clear Lake. It's a nice property, very close to the Kemah boardwalk for some pre cruise activities, and not much more than a 30 minute drive to the pier.

Honesty is the best policy

Depending on the cost differences in the flights, hiring a mini bus for the group is VERY easy to do and the services are plentiful in this area.

Thank you, we have had no exposure to this type of Solarium, but have Wonder booked next sumer from PC. This area is the one thing that the entire party is curious about.

Did you utilize, and if so, what were your thoughts on the enclosed solarium?

They can advertise a lower price if they are offering "group booking" cabins; that is what I look for (also the refundable deposit that come with it).

This is sarcasm, right? Right?
