This is a great decision, the cruise will be much better without you

Yes too whiny
 
 

I am on the fence about whether this whiny. I think.....my advice is to do as much research as possible and plan. I think when in doubt always have backups. I am a picky adult. I always look at menus beforehand and pack anything I can't live without.  Like you I had a tour cancelled with little to no information and had to pivot. The important thing is perspective: I am on a moving hotel with options, beautiful weather,and I don't have to cook or clean. I can meet new people and experience other cultures.  Unless I lose a limb or something, it is or can always be as good as I make it.

All excursions can be cancelled.  Sometimes it is an issue with the tour operator.  More likely, it is because the tour did not meet the minimum number required.  This same issue could easily happen on any cruise line.  If you are still on the ship, just take a cab to times square and you will see a lot on the way.  Spend a little time there and then just catch a cab to the airport.  If you have time, the subway is right there and can take you anywhere in Manhattan.
As for the tea, If I felt that strongly that it was the only type of tea that I could drink, I would ensure that I brought it along.  Tea bags do not take up much room in your luggage.
I'm not discounting that there were issues, but it sounds to me like you allowed them to ruin your vacation.
 

That strategy is short sighted and punishes the wrong people. 
If you feel that strongly about the direction of the line, that’s fine. You shouldn’t cruise until you see a change back in the direction you like. 
I used to go to Disney World all the time but their guest policy changes ruined the product for me, so I stopped going.   
 
The hard working crew members deserve better from you if you continue to sail. 

I feel like you've been looking at this cruise in a negative way for weeks, which is a shame. This post has not been confirmed, and I would take it with a grain of salt. The most they may do is limit you to one of each item, and even that I don't see.  Please go and enjoy this cruise, but I feel like you will be on the look out for every negative instead of the positives. But try to have fun!

We've noticed. To each his own but I hope your mood improves.
I have a cruise in 16 days and recently booked two more. My mood (as far as cruising goes) is great!

It’s available in the app, so I looked at one of my upcoming cruises at the pool bar.  It’s $4 a can plus 18%, so $4.72 a can.
 
it’s included with the Refreshment package and I’ve gotten that package recently for $22.99 per day, so it may be a good investment.

Wow.  So let me get this right. You are encouraging us to book a trip and act like total jerks by punishing the staff because you are upset with Royal’s trying to adjust to the new economic landscape we live in today?  No thanks, I will continue supporting the wonderful service staff that makes each cruise I am on magical by paying my daily gratuities and further tipping for exceptional service above and beyond what’s expected.

This is like going to eat at a restaurant and not leaving a tip. Just gross.

Wow lets punish employees because the bosses sometimes make bad decisions.......is not cool nor good human behavior. 

So your way of getting even with RC is to take it out on their poorest employees, who often come from 3rd world countries, and do all of the work that makes your onboard experience wonderful and had nothing to do with any decision you may be groaning about? Sounds logical….said no one! 

You don't like RC's policy changes, so you're going to take it out on the hardworking crew who have absolutely no say over those changes.  Wow. 

Or don't do that to the crew....more people than not are going to pay the gratuities, so you won't be doing any harm to the company- just the people who helped you during your cruise. I haven't noticed or been bothered enough by cut backs to cause me to want them out of business. If you don't like how they operate- there are plenty of other lines you can try (all doing the same thing, by the way) 

Looks like a very reasonable dish. Gives just enough for a taste and allows room for other dishes to be consumed. But the real question is, how did it taste?
