As others have mentioned, we didn’t enjoy it. Just didn’t make sense to us.

I thought some of the ships had them at one time. I remember one of the ships I was on had one, but it was never working

I sailed twice when the DST changed. In both cases it was kind of up to the captain when they wanted to do it (so it might not necessarily be the date that it' suppose to flip over). It definitely added some confusion. Could be why you got different vendors saying different things

Was on the Adventure a few years ago. I quite enjoyed it and found it relaxing. Not as much to do as on the bigger ships, but more than enough. Having said that I have been on smaller Royal ships in the past, so it wasn't a shock going from the Oasis class

Most part I'm fine with most stuff. If I were to pick I'd say the Royal Kemmelweck is a disappointment for me. I live across the river from Buffalo and as @loki007 says nothing compares to those (I guess we're spoiled). I'll just hop over the peace bridge to gab a beef on weck and get some cheap gas to boot. By extension the chicken wings are also a disappointment (again for the same reason)

Don't think Royals cares is the old ships disappear, as some mentioned above Royal is thinking in berths. There was article I read back in 2021-2022 talking why Royal was going to recover far faster than Carnival, mostly had to do with the big ships. I don't remember the exact numbers but on the smaller ships they need about 85-90% just to break even, they don't make a profit until they get past that. On the Oasis (by extension Icon), once they hit around 42% capacity they hit break even point. A couple new Icon class will more that make up for the lose of those other classes

With the blowback I'm seeing, I can see Carnival backing off. I can see merit to some of the stuff (all their priority perks might be a problem if there are too many people), but other parts no. Seems to be kind of trial balloon. One thing is I wonder what of of kickback they're getting from the CC company. Seen a blogger video where the lady was asking customer service onboard about it. She brought up could somebody get the CC, use it a a lot but never cruise. She asked if they accumulate enough points they be diamond on their cruise and the response was yes. That seems kind of wrong.

My wife used to use them on cruises, then on one cruise she had reaction to them (nothing serious). They’ve discontinued the sale of them up here. When she talked to the pharmacist I think he mentioned it was due to too many side effects

Wow, never going to be sitting under there again. Beside the award Nitin should be getting raise and promotion

Pretty much every time we'll get it for at least one of our party trying to check in

Actually kind of surprised there is missed port coverage in the policy at all, I guess for non refundable excursion, but just generally missing a port

Old menus I switch it up as there was always 3-4 things I found appetizing. New menu pretty much the same item every time. Certain nights I just skip altogether and do a specialty dining

My understanding (thinking Matt might had done a video on it) Oasis through Symphony they intentionally had made the WJ smaller for the ship size as they wanted passengers to use the other dining venues as well. On Wonder they fixed their mistake and made it bigger (assuming the Utopia as well). Wonder wasn't too bad, I don't remember there ever being a line to get in, however it could be made a little bigger

Depends on the ship class. Oasis class never is a good time On the flip side on the Radiance class I've never seen it busy. Others I don't remember

Royal seems to be having many issues with their website recently (seen the same thing with celebrity). Must have hired a bunch of elementary school students for their IT department
