captainannoyed!

You raise good points. Thank you for the post.

I agree with the OP. I’ve stayed in cabins from inside all the way up to the Royal Suite, and this is something Royal really ought to do something about. In particular, I really believe that in full suites should have extended TV options. At a minimum, there ought to be the ability to access entertainment apps that people already have at home. In a full suite, shouldn’t a passenger be able to log into their own Netflix using their own account? I think so.

I guess we just disagree about the food quality onboard. I tend to prefer the filet over the strip, and that holds true on land or sea.

I just look at those deck plans on Oasis and above, and it is more than I want to walk. I can treadmill at the gym. Why would I want this on a vacation? Plus, most of the stuff they add is for kids and families - no me. And as far as the Coco cabanas, I think they have a problem with the web site adding an extra zero on the end! No way im interested in paying more than the cruise for a few hours in a cabana, unless Jennifer Love Hewitt is there. Then they can charge whatever they want, lol!

I would agree that Royal isn’t going to let proper maintenance slip. And while I haven’t sailed Vision class in many years, when I see YouTube videos of these ships they do seem to be letting decor become dated. Perhaps that is what they were referring to. I would say that Royal doesn’t put the same emphasis or effort into the shows on the older ships. I see people here posting about shows on the newer ships, and that seems to be a fair observation.

With you 100%. My vast preference is Radiance class, though Freedom and Voyager are okay. But I’ll never sail Oasis or bigger. No interest whatsoever. Great for kids and families, and they should stay there.

I have to admit I’ve always found strip steaks to be hit or miss, anywhere. I’m pretty much a filet mignon guy exclusively at this point.

I’ve been cruising Royal for a long time, and I’ve never had a bad meal. Yes, some ships do have a better food program than others. But the OP, as of just a moment ago, has only two posts on the forum. They are entitled to their opinion, clearly. But their opinion isn’t accurate in my experience. I’d advise, as others have, to cruise the line you prefer.

Awesome!!!! Enjoy!!!

I just saw that the Jewel is just heading into dry dock, and first cruise is May 15. You just might be first cruise when everything is completely refreshed!

Agree 100%❤️

I did play it a bit for fun. There is a disc player at the lower right side that plays it also. So, it’s either. I suspect that if it was desired you can even arrange to have a player brought in if you are entertaining. I forget the songs available. Btw, if James is still the cabin steward he’s really great! We had this RS just a few weeks ago, and it’s still on our minds. We even decided to upgrade our cruise next year to the RS!

I always tip the delivery staff. I find, and it just might be my experience, that delivery is quicker in suites. At least, that has been my experience.

You’re going to LOVE IT!!!! We loved it so much we just upgraded our 11/25 cruise to the RS!

Perfectly explained. Kudos!
