5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I think the majority of us are on 6 it is a great location if the joggers jog on after 8 (if they are considerate) See you onboard (schooner or pub) Happy Days!
  2. Joggers on Deck 5 at 5:30am on Oasis class ships do my head in and wake every cabin on Deck 6 Always one inconsiderate health freak 🏃🏻‍♀️ running bare foot or flat footed Should ban track usage until after 8am at least (after 8 I’ll have to suck it up) I saw a video recently of padded floor tiles on Princess balconies. All ships should use this so you don’t have to listen to PAX or crew dragging tables and chairs above cabins. Well Done Princess - nice touch
  3. Agreed Like you we total up the price if we had purchased as a single reservation. Add in lunches and all dinners and we typically save $150 - $225 from buying the UDP as opposed to single purchases MDR for us we will do when we just get a 3 night package, otherwise we utilize Solarium Bistro or CK on the Big ladies For us the UDP or packages with the ability in the future to lock in days and times is so refreshing and makes it more of a complete offering, rather than 1/2 a product
  4. I highly doubt that any CS reps have been informed of the New press release regarding UDP yet. I doubt there are many in the RC offices who also know about it If I had an upcoming Wonder sailing and I had the UDP (The criteria currently required) I would be calling in and checking the app and cruise planner daily Might be worth contacting Exec offices to find out what day GUINEA PIG testing starts on Wonder Good Luck
  5. That is one thing we have tried to master lately and are very picky on where we bunker down on a ship these days 😄 We were going to go on Quantum for Alaska 2025 when I saw itineraries posted yesterday Not one JS or JY are in a location we like, so that cruise is not happening And didn’t want to splash on a GS (flights needed) We are wiling to look elsewhere because the cabin does not fit our needs Its a shame but after having a few cruises with noisy locations and lack of sleep Cabin choice for us comes before ship and itinerary Lots of research and YouTube videos before we book a certain cabin / suite 😎
  6. Exactly Regardless of PCP or buy on board Day 1 and Day 2 in our experience of speciality dining at the 5:30 - 6:00pm range are dead quiet. And I’m talking the last 15 cruises we have done Either way it is done, Royal are achieving what they set out to do More people paying extra for food and reducing numbers in MDR The difference in buying on ship and PCP is less than a free D+ drink coupon That’s the reality of this process Don’t sweat it, we didn’t and enjoy a zero bill (waiter got their exact $$$ amount tip, regardless of PCP or Buying on ship So everyone is a winner 🏆
  7. If you read my posts, only ever done once a few weeks ago and as already posted for Day 1 and Day 2 and for Dinner only I don’t really want to quote myself again 😎 We never tried for lunch - See above For those concerned about trying to beat the system Please explain how a PCP is any different than an onboard purchase (maybe $10 max difference) and with all the dynamic pricing who cares look at this way the odd $3- -$4 difference in cost Royal are making back with their increase in gratuities It all balances out in the long run WAKE UP - How many tables with only 1 chair do you see in ANY restaurant a BOGO by its definition is not a BOGOFBNUYGOTS We have only done once with 💯 success rate and two ZERO receipts Will be doing again on Monday Happy Days ! If you can’t beat them - Try a different way - I said that 😉 @Jimbo I am now your advocate 🤪
  8. Watch out for this scam that has been going on recently Open your mind (and eyes) Stock photo so must be real
  9. I didn’t tip the bionic bartender once and the next time I ordered a drink they knocked the plastic cup over and my drink went all over the place . Robots have feelings too
