Vancity Cruiser Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Anyone else find it strange that Royal doesn’t have merch for sale on their website? I need a new phone case and don’t want to wait 2 months till my next cruise i would think haveing a merch section on their website offering all their branded stuff would make sense.

JohnK6404 Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I know! It's strange that they would not have a good web presence. Logo merchandising is great advertising. I also thought it was very strange that they were not selling RC branded face masks onboard. The profit margin would be insane for something as simple as a face mask. Something with the Crown & Anchor logo, ship name, or Come Seek slogan and RC logo would be very popular. The shop on Oasis seemed very small and somewhat limited in selection compared to the other ships we've sailed on.

I have a feeling that one of two things happened here: either Royal didn't initially expect to have to require guests to wear masks by the time the restart happened, or they ordered masks and they're all still sitting on a container off the coast of California right now.

AshleyDillo Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I was surprised at the same. We were gifted a couple of these masks on Allure and I went to see if they had any for sale in the gift shop and found nothing.

The were ridiculously expensive ($13 each I think). My wife made me buy one though. JohnK6404 and CrimsonCruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Pats Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I know it’s not exactly what you’re talking about - but there is this in the Royal website (search royal gifts) (not the biggest selection but I guess they can build off it) https://www.royalcaribbean.com/royalgifts/gifts Okgladgal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted October 29, 2021 Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 I agree with the surprise as well! I was looking at the items just before our last cruise maybe thinking I could get some cruise shirts or what not from Royal specific....but nothing. I get they probably get their best sales on board and so maybe it's not worthwhile but...idk...seems like a little bit of a wasted opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
