We are headed out on our first cruise with Royal Caribbean and so far I am annoyed with the way they do business. It's not enough to pay a premium for the cruise, RC also nickel and dimes you for everything. You want cokes or sodas? there's a package for that! $$$$ you want internet? there's a package for that! $$$$ There are other packages as well but the ones I'm referring to in this post are for conveniences that are free of charge on other cruise lines such as Disney. I am annoyed because in order to keep in contact with other family members on the cruise, there is not a way for us to communicate unless we buy a internet package. We are traveling on the OASIS and bear in mind that this isn't cheap! After researching today, we found out that the Quantum level ships offer texting via their phone app without any additional costs. This service is not available for any of the other ship classes. I think this is ridiculous and so classless of RC. I called their 'customer service' line about and the person told me they had never had a complaint about this. Really? I don't believe it. The only way we can communicate with each other (when we are not sitting by each other) is by buying another package for $350. This is our first cruise with RC and it will be our last. I really wish we had gone with Disney again, but we thought we would try something new this time. I regret that decision!~
