    Kata reacted to WAAAYTOOO in State Department Travel Warning for The Bahamas   
    Please know that I am not one to be overly concerned about State Department travel warnings.  I am not throwing a sweat grenade here.
    I did read this morning that on Jan 24 the SD issued a travel advisory to certain areas of The Bahamas that include Grand Bahama and Nassau.  Apparently there have been 18 murders in The Bahamas since the first of January.  That's nearly 1 per day.
    I also realize that some areas of Nassau have been on the sketchy side for years and that prudence and situational awareness are always your friend.
    Just posting to say that the sketchiness has been made official.
    Anything you can add, @KristiZ ?

    I always prepay my gratuity. I don't think this is such big deal to me that I would be upset. However, this is slightly getting out of hand when everything is going up, but quality and service is decreasing.

    I had a few cruises where I had not already requested prepaid grats.  I was surprised....I thought I had taken care of that on all of my booked cruises.  Pays to check, I guess.  Pretty easy to get them added.  Should be set to go now.  So annoying though....They are so tone deaf on these "cruise enhancement" combinations - reducing services in combination with increasing prices and fees.

    Some quick math...
     
    In Q3, RC had 13,172,002 passenger days. So that's over $26 million per quarter that this increase would yield.

    Even more of a reason now just to include this in the cruise fare instead of a daily room charge.
     
    Heck they could have just rolled the increase right into the cruise fare and no one would notice.

    I'm on the symphony Transatlantic. Unfortunately we have a man overboard situation. We made a complete stop and now they are looking. Sad, we just left Barcelona.

    Here is a stateroom on the other side - 10526.  It's on the Allure but I already checked, it's in the same location on the Symphony.  You will see the "obstruction" at the 0:33 mark.

    If my guess-timation is correct,  the obstruction would be the frosted barrier in the picture

    Kata reacted to Lovetocruise2002 in Flight cost to Europe - summer 2024   
    I have noticed the exact same thing. @Jax and I have been talking endlessly about how depressing it is. The prices I am seeing right now to fly to Barcelona in economy are the same prices first class would have cost us in the summer of 2022 when we flew to Heathrow. At the moment, for 4 of us to go to Barcelona in July 2024, the cost of airfare is even more than the cruise itself. It's terrible.

    The whole "COVID" explanation is just an excuse.  Inflation is real so that certainly factors in but it is mostly just price gauging....with all things, including cruising (JMO).

    Yes, if it is before final payment and you are in a country where that is legal (the US is one of the ones where we can reprice as often as we want).
    So, it's best to not pay the whole cruise off until just before the final payment date.  It is easier for them to just adjust the price than it is to issue some sort of refund.

    Kata reacted to steverk in Wow! My excursion left 6 people behind   
    I've never seen this happen before. Have any of you?
    We're in St. Johns Newfoundland with a 3:30 all aboard time. My Royal Caribbean shore excursion stopped at the Rooms Museum and we were allowed just under an hour to self explore. The guide told us to be back on the bus at 2:45 or 2:50.
    I was back at 2:45. At 2:46, the guide noted that at least 6 people were missing.  He said, they can catch an uber, walk or just miss the boat. And then he instructed the driver to leave!
    When we mentioned this wasn't cool he said they need to understand the importance of schedule. 
    I've never seen anything like this before. Have you?
