marti314 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 It always seems to be something...... Being in the software business I wonder if RCL has the QA phase before they roll stuff into production. Cruise departs in 1 day, 79 days from now.

rjac Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Maybe RC does things like this just to see who is really paying attention. RestingBird, RWDW1204, coneyraven and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Someone reported this for our Anthem GC sailing as well. I just logged in now and it appears to be fixed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toodle68 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Remember when they did the big upgrade and to explain the issues and removal of functions they said they were going agile etc.. well, how long since they did that? and they still have no compare feature, no way to see balance/what you have paid, the scroll down of the itinerary is awful and they removed all the maps.. and my C&A points were wrong for months. I sometimes visit other cruise line websites and just marvel at basic functionally that RC does not have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to email them about web issues for my trip. Probably saves them a fortune because so many will just put up with the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThyriC Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Its not a bug, its a feature! I honestly believe its due to not having a test environment that they can test deployments of changes to the cruise planner prior to deployment. And anyone in software development/programming can tell you, testing in the live environment is the LAST thing you want. Because if it can go wrong, it will go wrong, and it will go wrong spectacularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
