Hotel CA

Thank you for the review-- we are on the FOS Nov 17 and like you were mostly Princess cruise people but wife had great experience 20 years ago on RC so giving it a try. Encouraged by your post as a comparison to P&O

You are either 'GodLike' or Psychic if you can "know your room before booking..." unless you only stay in hotels you have visited before--

wish we all had the powers of responsibility that enables you to be so in control as are you.

Wait --did I say Psychic ? or Psychotic?

Please do NOT confuse responsibility with control. Control is an illusion-- why, I wonder, do you feel the need to confuse the 2?

Man, TheTrail-- you are a trip!!! I sure would hate to be on the opposite side of you in a neighborhood legal action!

You should change your handle to "TrueBeliever"

Still in disbelief ????

Not sure what help you think you are offering --or to whom you are offering it ---but I agree that your fine posts lack both taste and sense and perhaps might be more useful if kept to yourself:)

While this may well be a Royal error-- the TA should be helping get some form of settlement.

I would guess the TA carries more weight than does the client individually-- yet the TA seems to want to wash their hands of the situation-- "Not my problem" when they COULD be helping.

Am I the only person troubled by this?

I really don't understand why your TA isn't being more helpful-- even though it might be RCL's responsibility--the TA should have "skin in the game" as they are responsible TO YOU and ultimately for customer satisfaction on their bookings. If I were the TA, I would be interested in the resolution to your satisfaction or it would impact my business with RCL.

Not sure why they are not ALSO working with RCL as they supposedly are the travel pro in this fight and could be very helpful in getting a favorable resolution-- I would go back to them and see if you can get them to help 'lean' on RCL as 25% is ridiculous-- Comp the 16 year old's ticket and 25-50% on top seems more reasonable.

But whatever the final solution is, do NOT let your TA off the hook. They should be helping you and representing you to RCL (and using the 'weight' of all their booking business to get this resolved)--

We are on the FOS Nov 17 sailing and are tracking your exceptional post and Pictures.

Thank you so much for this-- you really have done a great job with your thread
