No new cruise bookings until covid restrictions recinded.

The servers in the Wind jammer acted as if I was taking food out of their children's mouths. The bar tenders wouldn't serve doubles, they always did in the past, and that is with the unlimited drinks package, why get it if they limit you to 1 shot drinks? I prefer Bourbon on the rocks.  I don"t want 1 ounce of Buffalo Trace drowned with a glass full of ice. There were numerous other problems , but I just want to say as a long time Royal Caribbean cruiser, and a very happy one at that, I'm done with them until changes happen. By the way the cruise I'm referring to was on the Brilliance of the Seas out of Tampa on March 24, 2022. For now ,I'm going with Rick Steves European tours.

I asked for doubles on oasis last week . No issues. 

[smokeybandit]

Doubles were poured last week.

 

And you're allowed to ask for no or less ice.

Sorry to hear. I’ve had nothing but wonderful service in every area on both Harmony 5/29 & the Indy B2B I’m currently on.

My bartenders & servers have been as friendly & accommodating as ever.

Curios what was done in the Windjammer that resulted in the bad experience?

Title talks about Covid restrictions, post mentions nothing about covid restrictions.

It will be nice to be able to get doubles again when the covid restrictions are recinded

Rick Steves should be fun.  I like his videos.  As for cruising with Royal, Matt and others have always stated how important flexibility is in our new Covid world.  Safe travels!

I was on Symphony back in Feb, never had any issues with the windjammer, or getting any kind of drink/shot at any of the bars, the bartenders took great care of us. Sorry you had a bad experience.

How many Rick Steve's tours have you done? We have never been to Europe but outside of cruising love to plan our own trips. Seems like a good way to start. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hopefully things are going back to more normal soon!

I'm still waiting to read about covid restrictions...
