QUIZ ON FACE MASKS: WOULD YOU CRUISE AGAIN IF
TXcruzer replied to Phillip Diamond Plus's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
A NO B NO C NO -
Depending on what you want to do I find it nearly impossible to believe the Royal excursion is cheaper. The pre purchased tickets for Atlantis are always cheaper than cruise line excursion, in my experience.
-
Do yourself a HUGE favor and book Atlantis independently. You will save some money and have a MUCH better experience. Atlantis is close and easy to navigate to and from the ship. In my opinion there is nothing worse than wasting my time waiting for a bus to fill up so I can be taken 5 miles across town, when I could have grabbed a cab and been there already.

Its NOT an argument, it is an international maritime requirement to have the drill at your physical location. Has nothing to do with where your lifeboat is, and everything to do with you knowing where you are to show up. Until SOLAS changes the requirement, Muster drills will not change dramatically.

Bahamas Could Welcome Cruise Ships Back July 1st
TXcruzer replied to SpeedNoodles's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Moot point as no one is sailing until August at the earliest. -
Everything I can find on repatriation pits the amount of crew sent home to be relatively equal amongst the different lines. Carnival isn’t doing a significant deal better than RCI. The statement on countries being closed only to foreigners just isn’t true, plenty of reports of countries turning away their countrymen. the accusation that they are being kept onboard to allow for a rapid restart of hosting customers is just nonsense. If the crew members contract had concluded they couldn’t be used for customer facing activities even if RCI wanted them to.
-
They are receiving the “Statutory Minimum Pay” from the end of their contract date until the date they are released; in accordance with international maritime law.
-
Another negative, one sided, useless post from R Yeo. By my calculation this now account for 100% of their posts.
-
God cursed me with “sausage fingers”, and a small touchscreen on my phone!!! ? Regardless I was obviously wrong, because no announcement thus far.
-
This timeline isn’t quite correct. Cancellations have come: March 13 (US) March 14 (worldwide) March 24 (extended to May 11) April 16 (extended to June 11) This pattern says the next announcement will come today, May 25, after the closure of the stock market

So far L&S has been a huge bust for us. The folks taking the calls appear to be incredibly overwhelmed and uninformed. We have been denied shifting 3 cruises; 2 times each. What has been published on the Royal website has not been honored in practice.
-
And you do know 100% what is going on? Judging by this post I doubt it

It’s not a hardship, they are housed, and fed, I empathize with being away from home, but a hunger strike is just ridiculous

Covid 19 Test On The Spot
TXcruzer replied to Diamondntherough's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I doubt this, antibody testing is very controversial currently, and the re-infection possibilities are highly questionable -
I think this is the first time since all this started that I am not on the side of the crew. What a ridiculous farce, and in reality shows a lack of respect for your employer in my opinion.
-
I believe once Royal cancels the cruise, L&S is off the table.

"Cruise with Confidence" extended to April 2022
TXcruzer replied to YOLO's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I believe the 125% FCC offers will be going away with the introduction of L&S -
"Cruise with Confidence" extended to April 2022
TXcruzer replied to YOLO's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Pretty sure your cruise planner items get refunded and not shifted; and you will need to repurchase at prevailing rate. -
I have no idea what the future holds, but a debt realignment bankruptcy filing is certainly in the realm of possibility. If this were to occur then your stock would be worthless.

Cruise with Confidence - Ethics question
TXcruzer replied to Larry Muster's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
The CWC fine print says you can not use the FCC to rebook the same itinerary that the FCC was “earned” from, you can however pay cash for the lower fare now and use the FCC in the future. Unfortunately I believe it’s all academic as this cruise will not take place. -
125% FCC does NOT APPLY to on board credits

RC asks to Delay Galveston Terminal
TXcruzer replied to wordell1's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
In addition to the depth, I believe the turning basin will also need to be widened for an Oasis class ship to make the 180 degree turn
