  1. Absolutely "intentional deflection". I truly believe that. Why anyone would waste time and energy defending a multi billion dollar corporation is beyond me. Look at the original letter and what they now send. The intentional deflection is right there in black and white in the words. Is it so hard for you people to believe that Royal Caribbean is back peddling by re-wording what this was and what they called/calling it now? Does saying who do they think they are fooling now calling it a change of plan, show some sick form of disloyalty? I truly don't understand seeing a multi billion dollar corporation as a can do no wrong thing in people's lives. I don't buy that of anyone, let alone big businesses. It's so obviously a sad attempt at a spin at the 13th hour. LOL. And honestly the only reason I would hope you stop, re-read, and consider that is possibly what this is, is because the endless defending around here of this company can feel cult like to others. And it really does feel spooky at times, when that happens. You also can feel vilified when your opinion goes against the loyal followers. I try my best to look at the facts presented to me. Never vote the party line. I was raised call BS when you see it/hear it. That said, Thank you. I will be going and hope to be impressed. Fingers crossed. Happy and safe travels to you and all my "Fans" here.
  2. Quote: You would have found it offensive because that's what you were looking for. Who the hell do you think you are. Stop telling me how to feel, how to think, how to anything. This was between me and someone else. I truly believe you just keep coming back to push buttons.
  3. Yes, I said Wow! Really??? And I read it 12 times. It was wildly offensive to me. And I read every post. I was extremely offended. You don't get to tell me what I can find offensive and what I cannot. You literally just wrote Quote: "Fact is it wasn't offensive!".
  4. It was mentioned by BrianB 5 hours ago with new information. I was merely picking up on that. I didn't just randomly bring it up this morning. Now as to my feelings on the subject. Everyone corrects me endlessly when I talk about a change that I hate. Even when I say it hasn't happened yet, someone will say it hasn't happened yet. Like I never even wrote that disclaimer in the first place. When I go out of my way to point out it's coming, not yet, but coming and someone still writes it hasn't happened yet it's maddening. Like they only read the parts they wanted to. Not yet but coming is not saying currently is. I add the disclaimer and get corrected anyway. That's what bothered me. That's why I wrote. As far as my opinion on the issue that is coming (not yet, but on it's way). It bugs me a lot. I like twice a day service. I've given reasons on it see above. Sand on carpet on beach days, dirty plates in cabins, etc. I think it's a terrible idea. Things won't be as clean. And staff will never get things fresh enough fast enough, especially on turnover days. There is less to do when you do it twice a day. But in the end it is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I cannot reread the post to double check how offensive it was because it was removed for being offensive. That speaks for itself.
  5. My app says April 5th and website says April 6th. Driving me crazy. Just plan on checking both a few minutes after midnight.
  6. Hasn't happened yet. And I wouldn't spend the entire cruise keeping track of the top part if it did. LOL
  7. So sick of people pointing out it's still twice a day when I bring this subject up. Well....shut up. Here it comes.
  8. Maybe better chance of getting steamer on board in carry on luggage? Also in 2 pieces.
  9. Eastern. St Thomas is much nicer then Mexico.
  10. Many put 1 adult 1 child down as being in one room. The other adult and child listed in the other. Then if one is 19yr they switch. Rule bend I guess, but lots do it. By age 19 I don't see a problem. And if you trust your 19yr to look out for your 15yr, that's something you would know works or doesn't.
  11. I agree with what Traveling Mike said. Since you have a 19 yr old and many are off in other states away at college, I wouldn't think the other end of the ship would be so terrible. Maybe a pain for meeting up, communicating, etc. But you can save hundreds.
  12. Driving me crazy. App says check in April 5th. Website says April 6th. Really want early boarding time so I guess I'll be checking at 12:05 am 2 nights in a row. LOL.
  13. Way too early! Most flights require you be at the gate 45 min to an hour in advance. Plus security, plus travel traffic etc. Just too early.
  14. Anyone have the email address for requesting a refrigerator for medical needs (insulin, etc)? Also, how far in advance should they be contacted? Thanks
  15. Not worried. I always carry (roll) at least one bag on. 2 connected till 1pm when cabins open is worth it vs fear of not having enough if some bags get lost. (That's a major hang up for me) Still will have two large 28inch to check with porters. (Yes, I really don't travel light) LOL.
  16. Oh I know. Was just looking to shift some thing from a 28inch to the 24inch on the morning we board. Any issue with pulling a 24inch connected to a 22inch at once on board? It's not 1 bag per person right?
  17. OK, so looked at luggage website.(bags still packed away) 15.7x11.8x26.7. The 26.7 being length. 15.7 width. 11.8 depth. So I guess that's good then, right?
  18. For the sake of conversation I only have the fact that it's referred to as a 24inch roller. Does anyone have max measurements for xray?
  19. I always roll on at least a 22inch, hoping to connect it to a 24inch. Then porters take the 28's. I carry on (with wheels) as much as possible. I'm super paranoid about lost luggage.
  20. Have you contacted Royal? Planning to stay on board or change dates?
  21. Anyone ever try a 24 inch in Port Canaveral?
  22. OK, I'll do innocent till proven guilty. I still maintain they knew their own personal answer before asking the question. And I do stand firm on not telling someone what's right for their family. I absolutely believe Royal should refund or reschedule anyone from a group trip they are not a part of. I wouldn't do any group cruise. Who wants to feel pushed around and out of place. But who needs strangers to tell them that either??? Let's see what happens
  23. I'm with you on to each his own. This is America. Thank God all that could happen. Maybe we can agree on this. The original poster asked a question they already knew the answer to. Also, nobody can or should tell someone what's right for their family. It's a gay cruise. But let me ask a bunch of strangers if that's cool for my kids. Yeah, OK. Whatever. I just don't think answering them will help them or this group on a whole. Maybe we can agree on that.
