We use Park n Cruise. They have always been good for us.

Thank you for taking us along on this cruise. I caught myself checking up on your progress to the ship and your time on board for the last almost 10 days. Thank you! And hope you have a pleasant re-orientation back into the real world.

We're the reverse. Hubby and kids almost always make it into the WJ because they get up too late to eat breakfast with me in CK. Also, Hubby always tries to wander through at night to see if he can catch Mongolian night.

Hey! Some of us who sail who normally sail in steerage like the WJ!

Very simple. Create a contest in which Royal Caribbean give one lucky person a lifetime cruising pass. Enter the contest. Rig things so that I win the contest. Resign in shame. Keep the pass.

The last time Royal chartered a ship on me was eerily similar to the OP.  That included me requesting a refund that never arrived.  When my TA looked into they had issued an FCC instead.  "Ooops.  Our bad, we see that you requested a refund.  We'll get right on that."  My TA invested hundreds of hours fighting with Royal.  Six months later, after several incorrect or partial refunds, finally I was whole. 
"We'll just give him 2/3rds of a refund and maybe he won't notice".  I noticed.
"We'll refund it in weird amounts that can't be tracked back to the payment amounts.  That way they can't figure out it's wrong". They underestimated my TA.

Misses the part about complaining on online message boards. That's a stage, right?

I'll check this out!  I've alwasy wanted to look like Bane anyway 😄 haha
 

Guy with a huge ZZ top beard here... I bought one of those full face masks, the one with no mouth piece...you just slip a whole mask over your head. I had no leak issues at all.  this type: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=full+face+snorkel+mask&crid=3OKPTJ5PQVXWS&sprefix=full+face%2Caps%2C80&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_9

I have a beard also. I was able to use vaseline in Cozumel and other places where they regulate sunscreen. I've looked into wearing the full face mask but i am not sure they will alleviate the problem.
I know a guy who wears just the goggles on his eyes and holds onto the snorkel with his teeth. He swears it works but I am not sure.

We were on Harmony 12/4-10 for 6 days and they had lobster. We even got 2. 

Area 51?

We just got off Harmony on Saturday. We both got an extra lobster. The 1st was good, the 2nd was even better. 
We never got turned down for anything we asked in the MDR. And didn't get charged at all.

This would be like an airline intentionally making the experience worse for 100 people in economy class to encourage them to all buy the 20 seats in business class.

Canceling your cruise because you can't get something on board ship that every grocery store has amuses me.

You sound like a blast to be around…. Hope you enjoy Odyssey (I can’t wait to hear how awful that ship and passengers are 😉) 

My DW is allergic to black and white pepper. They meet with us at check in and then before the meal. They showed her the menu for the next night and she could choose what she wanted.. They would prepare it. The service is better than at shore side restaurants. Contact them at   [email protected]   
Here is the letter they sent us:
Allergies are handled daily on all sailings. We have advised our ship staff of Sara Bryant dietary/allergy needs. ( Allergy to all kinds of Pepper) Our galley has a separate preparation area away from the main production area to prepare meals for guests with allergies and to avoid cross-contamination of the meals.  Our Food and Beverage Staff attend recurring training programs regarding allergy protocols. During the booking process, we ask that the guest choose a set dining time versus My Time Dining. This will provide the guests with a dedicated serving staff for the cruise. Once the guest is onboard, we ask them to visit the dining room, introduce themselves and speak with the dining staff to advise of the Pepper allergy. The dining staff for their table will be advised. We are pleased to advise you Royal Caribbean offers Gluten Free meals as a standard offering on our menus in the main dining room. We offer lactose free, almond milk, soy milk, whole milk and skim milk onboard our ships. When guests eat in the buffet, please ask for a manager so they can arrange to get a meal from the galley. This will avoid any cross contamination that may occur at the buffet.  When eating in specialty restaurants or other food venues, it is important to advise our staff of the allergies. However, you are allowed to bring, non-perishable food items such as cookies, crackers, chips, energy bars, etc.  These items must not require refrigeration and be sealed in the original store bought containers. Best regards, Carlos Alvarez Access Advocate  

Of all my cruises I couldn't tell you the name or what any CD looked like. It has made no difference in my experience whatsoever.

Don't be "that guy". The $2 bill is a novelty to you, but is is a giant headache to the crew.
 
Heck, there are retailers, even in the USA, that will not accept them.
Get a stack of singles, or a smaller stack of $5 bills.

This is long even for RCI.

Better the web site going down than a ship.

Still down but feel strangely comforted by other people looking for pitchforks, too!
