Gratuity included in specialty dining package pricing
pcur replied to jean87510's topic in Royal Caribbean International
The gratuity of 18% is added when you purchase and check-out. It's about $44 per person, per meal with the gratuity. -
None of the RCL phone numbers work

YOU are my hero! -
The upgraded, non-Grand Suite, toiletries are versions of the dispenser on the wall in the shower. I dislike the smell and send them back. I bought a 3-pack, 2 oz, foaming liquid soap dispensers for $7 on Amazon. They worked great with my Bath and Body Works White Citrus body wash, slightly diluted. Shampoo in another, face wash in the third. I keep the body wash on the sink counter for washing my hands, and take it into the shower. Love having my favorites with me. Refill when I get home for the next trip.

Could you give more details, please? Many of us cannot get to a live person for C&A questions, and only get the recorded "phone tree". Thanks. -
You label the bag "Wash and Fold Special". Ask your cabin stewardfirst.

I was going to mention that, but didn't really know if was a "thing" yet.
-
You can ask your cabin attendant at any time for the wash and fold bag.

Agree. Well, except for the whole Italian/pasta thing: I really like some of the pasta dishes. If I reply to a specific question about the Coastal Kitchen, I do so. But, I leave it out of threads discussing the complimentary food. It's like apples and oranges: specialty dining and CK are not complimentary. Of course, I prefer the food in the CK and specialty dining, but I truly found the food on the Jewel Transatlantic in the MDR to be very good. I mix and match my appetizers and entrees, so I always have something good to eat. Sometimes it's all appetizers, sometimes it's a second entree as an appetizer-sized side dish. (See above about pasta dishes......😁.) Oh, and I'm not in the Loyal to Royal "food basket": I really like Princess' food, too!

I have felt your pain....literally. My husband of 52 years died of pancreatic cancer 3 years ago. It's an ugly, ugly disease, and unbearable (but you have to bear it) to watch your loved one go like this. I found when I contacted RCCL after his passing, explaining the circumstances, they were very considerate. I was offered a refund or Future Cruise Credit. Not in any condition to be planning anything except breathing at the time, I opted for a refund. My travel agent at the time told me it would be best to contact RCCL directly in this case. I agree with Ourusualbeach about your credit cards. They were my next contact after RCCL. Good luck, and try to focus on the life with her, not the death of her.

Question for Recent Passengers on a RCL Ship
pcur replied to MJSailors's topic in Royal Caribbean International
That's why instead of wearing a mask full time like I did just after covid, I keep it with me and put it on in crowded situations on a cruise ship. Elevators being my most "masked" venue....😁 -
Question for Recent Passengers on a RCL Ship
pcur replied to MJSailors's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Sorry, misunderstood your post. It was the Adventure, and I probably got it from one of the passengers who I spent time with and had a bad cough in the last week, or on the airplane flying home. I was wearing a mask on the airplane, but that goopy-cough passenger was directly behind me. I tested positive 2 days after I got home. -
I thought I saw it in a Solarium Cafe, yes, it was the Vision.

Sorry you're getting so much sarcasm, and not a lot of help. I expect after the first few post-drydock cruises you'll get better answers. I saw those negative posts, too, and cancelled for another cruise.

OBC and canceling and rebooking Beverage/dining package.
pcur replied to bobswife91's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I actually called the Customer Service number for posting the BofA points, and asked they be posted immediately so I could use them. I had them the same day. -

Sounds like me late last September with COVID after my cruise. Since then I have been on 6 ships with no health problems except temporary stuffy sinuses from the a/c in my cabin. Have your husband keep a mask with him for crowded conditions, and go cruising!!! Keep up with the vaccinations, too.
