dougp26364 Posted April 13, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Thanks for posting this for about the 4th time in this forum. I suppose they only have news services where you live? :rolleyes: jc Yes, but what I really want to know is what RCI's surcharge was for the extra bed bugs? Is it $3.95 for all the bugs or $3.95 per bug? Is there a coupon in the C&A book to cover the first set of bugs? What if you have friends traveling with you? Can they use your C&A coupon if you don't want any bed bugs in your cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly, the bed bugs are free for C&A members but can be transferred to non-members through their "for a friend" program on sailings of 7 days or more.

SharleneinTexas Posted April 13, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 13, 2005 How old of a story can it be when the article was posted on April 11???? I guess that depends on the individual..........how many bed bug postings until it gets old to you? lol I realize that it's right up there on the gross scale with the 'diaper wringing lady', but those bugs didn't swim onto that ship.........if they have to start inspecting all the luggage we bring on the ship and inspect every passenger for signs of the nasty creatures before we are allowed to board, would that put a damper on your cruise experience? can we please put these bugs to bed now?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterchick Posted April 13, 2005 #20 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I believe that the bugs are $3.95 apiece unless you are in a suite, in which case the suggested retail price is $5.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightsun Posted April 14, 2005 #25 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Perhaps Royal Caribbean will initiate a policy that if you bring bed bugs on board, either in your carry-on or checked luggage, they will confiscate them and give them back to you at the end of your cruise...:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
