RBRSKI

I totally agree with you.  They should at least consider not charging certain levels of the crown and anchor program.  Nickle and Dimming Everything.

Not that I want to give RCCL any ideas but we should and have to look into the Crystal ball to see what's down the pipe line for more charges that we will incur on future cruises:
 
Window Seats in the MDR First two towels no charge any additional $5 dollars per towel Your choice of one roll at dinner each additional $1.50 First ride on Flow Rider, Water Slide, Rock Climbing wall etc Free each additional $5.00 I know I am poking some fun at these topics but god help us if they ever impose them on us.

Ok Let's dissect this response.
 
"Royal Caribbean International has introduced a new premium room (I WOULDN'T CONSIDER SOME OF THESE ITEMS PREMIUM,SCRAMBLED EGGS,FRIED EGGS,GRILLED CHEESE,HOT DOG AND QUESADILLA WOW)service menu in order to enhance the dining experience and to provide more options for guests. The new menu features upgraded items such as the Royal Wagyu Burger, a classic Philly cheese steak with shaved rib eye, chicken wings with a choice of four sauces, and a healthy grilled salmon dish with cucumber mint yogurt, to name a few.
In addition, new breakfast selections also have been introduced to the menu to provide an upgraded in-room breakfast experience for guests. Continental breakfast items, which remain free of charge, will still be available to all guests.(GUESS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ORDER JUST CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, THEY WILL NEVER GET IT ON TIME OR CORRECT)
A new convenience fee of $7.95 per order will be introduced for any orders including the new premium selections. This was introduced to better manage the high demand for this convenient and upgraded service.(SO NOW THEY WILL GENERATE MORE REVENUE AND BE ABLE TO HIRE MORE STAFF, SO ONE SHOULD EXPECT NO DELAYS, COLD FOOD AND ORDERS CORRECT) Breakfast items listed under the continental menu will still be free of charge.
The new room service menu will be rolled out across the entire fleet starting in March and will be onboard all ships by the end of May."

So now revenue is generated for this service Staff and cruise line is making money or breaking even on Room Service Room service no longer hitting the bottom line for RCCL. NOW WE SHOULD SEE SOMETHING REDUCED IN PRICE OR SOMETHING THEY CHARGED FOR SHOULD BE FREE NOW.  
Looking at the very top level of what the airlines are doing now, bringing back free food service on some flights.  
 
Who knows what the right answer is?  Just my opinion. 

Even though we have been on a good number of cruises, we purchased for the first time the deluxe beverage package for our spring break cruise that leaves in 9 days!!!!!!!  I thought that 45 dollars a day which includes the 18% gratuity was a good deal.  Let the beverages start to flow the minute I step on board.
