Pros & Cons of Booking 1 vs. 2 rooms for a Family of 4?
TXcruzer replied to dcnole's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
As long as the rooms are adjacent it won't be a problem; I have done this many times. -
Is the Haitian Visa Required to go to Labadee?
TXcruzer replied to ElCubi's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
TBH, I would not rely on Royal Caribbean to have the right answer either. These boards are full of people that have been screwed because the cruise line gave them errant information about customs and immigration concerns. -
Royal Caribbean did me wrong!!

"I Was Cheap and Did Not Buy Insurance" There, I fixed the title for you. Sorry man, this is all on you, the rules are crystal clear when you make that deposit. I hope your wife's partner recovers with no issues. -
As is Martinique

Gratuities going up again
TXcruzer replied to smokeybandit's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
No one said their work was cut in half, they are saying the service WE THE CUSTOMER receives has been cut in half. -

Can you elaborate on what "non optional" costs you are encountering after paying your cruise fare? I can't think of a single one -

I will agree 100%, everyone deserves kindness, respect, and dignity -

They are employed because I patronize their employer. Anyone paying a cruise fare is helping hundreds of thousands -
Gratuities going up again
TXcruzer replied to smokeybandit's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Of course the crew deserves proper compensation (some deserve gratuities), however the examples you used are performing tasks that are the bare minimum that I expect to be included in my fare. Clean decks, vacuumed stairwells, sanitized public areas, clean linens, clean plates and cutlery; none of these services deserve anything more from me other than my cruise fare. -

Increased twice since the reduction of stateroom service -
You can NOT use the card at the Starbucks kiosk on the ship. It can only be used at the café on board, depending on the ship that could be Cafe Promenade or a similar outlet. They serve basic espresso based drinks (mocha, macchiato, latte) and some Frappuccino variant. Note, the Frappuccino is often dis allowed on the punch card. Also, some drinks, depending on number of espresso shots, will require nmore than one punch on your card, making it a less than optimal fiscal arrangement.

No, not aghast at all; quite excited to be honest.

A "problem" that is easily solved with a USB charging hub, no problem

Longshoremen work stoppage looming?
TXcruzer replied to Sealegs's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Flip-side being, in an election year, candidate trolling for the labor vote, will be very supportive of unions and support a work stoppage. -
This will be fine

AHHH, I agree, that is odd

Why would you consider this odd? The device does not change the number of outlets

Jewel and Greenland both very disappointing
