See you on Icon Of The Seas!

We sailed Oasis of the Seas January 16th 2010 and it was a lot of fun keeping up with everything. My favorite was following Captain Wright doing the crossing. -

Congratulations @CHRIS WONG on not only being trusted with another launch but, IMO, the most important one since December 2009! Looking forward to crossing paths during the inaugural sailing... I've had our stateroom booked since bookings released. Almost couldn't make it, but things have changed and I'll be there! -
They'd never charge for cookies, right?

Right. I'm thinking bigger than the cookie. I am a bit of a pessimistic person and can see this as the beginning of a lot of "complementary" offerings becoming à la carte. But, as you said/implied, cruisers will vote with their wallets. Time will tell. -

Yep. I get the raised prices, even the sticker shock ones like the $92 dollars per day for a drink package and the $3800 floating cabana I'm seeing in my cruise planner for Icon's Inaugural sailing. $2 dollars plus 20% gratuity to warm up a cookie is insulting. Typically I cruise about once per year (although guilty of cruising a bit more during the restart days) so for me, whatever. But I feel bad for those that only take cruise vacations, multiple times per year. It's going to ruin the experience for them if they have to open up their wallet for stupid *cough, cough* stuff like a cookie. Just my opinion of course and as long as the core experience is still the same people may be okay with the nickel-and-dime tactics, even if they are just suggestions or test pilots. -

* Links removed I'm sorry, how is $2.40 "a small fee" for sticking the (what sounds like) same old cookie in the oven? Is that per cookie? I'll stand there with a lighter and warm it up that way out of spite. Side note, does anyone have a lighter I can borrow LOL! -
Windjammer line etiquette, heck line etiquette anywhere on the ship is another I'd add to the list. I bite my tongue quite often because, vacation... not worth it.

I want to see the data, all of it. They have to claim SOME were okay with it. Let me do a few SQL queries in that database LOL.

It's obvious, we go after chair hogs.
