    Sad? Sorry, I am confused, are you saying that it’s sad that you can’t take them home for free? I realize that I must be misunderstanding.

    You can't take te bathrobes home with you, even if you're staying on a suite. If there are 3 persons on the reservation there should be at least 3 bathrobes available on the suite, why there wouldn't be enough robes for all of you?.
     
    P.S. It's not a "cleaner", the position is called Stateroom attendant.

    PeloAl got a reaction from Eyeonhevn in How do you pick a travel agent?   
    Who said anything about chasing credit lol? What I am chasing, though, is a great deal/price on a cruise for 4 that I'm solely paying for (2 balcony cabins).
    And I got that with a $1400 discount off of Royals price just by doing some research and pricing out with various agencies. And the OBC is just a bonus...! But everyone's needs are different of course so YMMV.

    Everyone has an opinion.  What you need is way different that what others need.   I do all my own research and booking and I just need a travel agent to give me extra money on my cruise.  You might need someone to find what you want and explain everything to you.  What your question should have been is how do I find a travel agent that can help me ?????

    It was a seafood burger. I'm sure it wouldn't have been ordered if the OP was allergic to seafood.

    I find it disheartening that people are able to find these sites to complain about their cruise but they can’t find them before they cruise to research and find information that would help them enjoy their cruise.

    Welcome to the message boards.
    I'm sorry you ran into this problem. A couple of suggestions to help you out next time.
    First and foremost, do not book a cruise directly with the cruise line. Use a travel agent to avoid these kind of issues. I highly recommend MEI Travel. Simply put, these kind of misunderstandings wouldn't have happened with a good travel agent.

    I can't speak for the $50 bonuses, but to be fair, you are still getting the $200 credit from Visa. You might not be able to use it on this particular sailing, but it will be available to you to redeem for another sailing.

    PeloAl reacted to RCIfan1912 in Coco cay is incredible!   
    We have been trying to get to Coco cay since before this miserable pandemic and we are finally here on Oasis. This could not be better and cooler. I watched, we watched a million videos of this island and none of really prepared us for how freaking awesome it truly it. Kids are having a blast and there is no better value on vacations at all. We will be back here on Oasis or anthem and probably both. This splash away bay is just amazing. The dump buckets are just so much fun. This vacation was worth every penny even with a 7 month old which can be a bit challenging at times. 9 year old is having the time of his life. Just loving this! Loving this!

    I think it's a lovely idea (not being condescending, I promise) but people need money, that's why they work. Blessings don't pay the bills.

    I do not see anyone complaining about paying gratuities, it’s more of how they’re being charged. 
    i find the phrase cheapskate being thrown around is very judgmental when no one here knows the heart or actions of another.
    Also the comment if you can pay for a cruise you can afford to pay whatever fees there are, is not totally accurate. Easy to say for anyone who can afford a cruise every year and especially be able to get a suite. FYI, not everyone is sitting on big 401ks.
    For my wife and I now on a fixed income It has taken years for us to be able to afford a cruise, and sleeping in our car many times on vacations just to save money. An extra $150 means something to us. If we can save $50-$75 by only tipping for the services we partake of that helps cover other costs.
    PS I realize that some that are paying for a suite had to save up for years to be able to do it. I am sure they’re not the ones calling people cheapskates. 
    Also I think most working on the cruise line are making more than our combined Social Security even without tips. But I am not against tipping what I can afford.

    You can check a cruise compass from a similar sailing to get an idea:
    https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass?ship=1437
    The times can depend on the itineraries.  It looks like the late dining is 8:30 in the Mediterranean but it was 8:00 in the Caribbean.  The times in the app may be reflective of the current sailing and not your actual sailing.

    Worry about the things that are in your control.  If you are worried about testing positive, spend the weeks before departure carefully.

    I would continue my journey. Just as i would with a common cold or any other treatable, low level not very dangerous annoyance. Now, put a smoker beside me in the casino and I would have a problem. Not from the cancer, but the smell.
