  1. only about 50%, and the best yet to come: 2 stateroom services per day, gratuities included in the price, no Coastal kitchen hassles. No Pin and suite guest seating competitions anymore (which biker19 will be sad of)
  2. Fed up with RCCL prices, Pin here, just defected first time to 24 days on TUI Mein Schiff3 all inclusive (drinks, specialty restaurants, some internet, gratuities. What a pity RCCL does not have competitive prices anymore
  3. Sorry I do not have the contact data of Royal Caribbeans undertaker
  4. We usually cruise some 90+ days/year with RCI in balconys or JS. This year we do only 4 weeks, all from old bookings from a year ago, no new bookings. All due to the insane prices. We are doing more river cruising in Europe and also sail with TUI or MSC
  5. As compensation for the crew related crime on board, Royal Caribbean promises to deliver better food quality, go back to twice a day cabin cleaning and also promise to sell cruises for more reasonable fares
  6. How many of you here are actually Royal Caribbean employees or dependent on their business?
  7. it's less a joke than your own feeling of inferiority
  8. Or the Chef was on vacation during your 2nd tour
  9. To sum the decline up: it has a name, Jason Liberty
  10. I saw CATS twice. First time in a theatre, I deeply slept in the 3rd act. Second time on board, I only dozed away slowly but steadfast ....
  11. Wow, from cruise prices to 1.50 Costco hotdogs, what an unabashed thread hijacking
  12. And you do not have an opinion about the casino masters, sailing in inside/outside/balconies with top priority in suite lounge and CK, priority way above all Pins and JSs?
  13. didn't you say here the other day that you will not cruise with RCCL anymore due to your Pinnacle-phobia?
  14. Good choice- At MSC you do not brag about Pins anymore that have spent more in cruise fares than you. This board survives your switch to MSC (which you will nevertheless do)
  15. You do not understand the concept at all. Its not gratuities anymore its hidden salaries. It is the companies greed for more revenue by cutting back the former salary scheme and let the customers finance their behind the curtain crews. Do you understand the difference between gratuities and salaries? Its the company that cuts crew income not the autograt removers. Autograt removers pay the crew directly in cash to circumvent the hidden salary scheme. This way the face-to-face crew receives more money than from autograt customers.
  16. The UDP is a scam on SY. You cannot book your choice of restaurant nor time due to overfill. RCI obviously overbooked the program. In Europe actually this is forbidden and cost hefty fines. UDP is not worth anything you just cannot book the venue you like to use. Waist of money.
  17. The same misnaming happens with Berlin, although berthing in Warnemünde, some 2 hrs away from B.or Barcelone when actually berthing in Tarragona, or Cork when actually berthing in Cobh
  18. That is correct. Here on SY they speak effective Jan24, the JS cabins will be separated into regular JS and so called SkyJS (a quick price check shows a difference between reg JS and Sky JS of 2000$) That means regular JS have no whatsoever access to CK anymore , only the pricey SkyJSs
  19. W/r to JS: if your cruise is a Master casino cruise, they always have priority over JS. Currently 60 Masters on board. Bye bye JS customers.
  20. Currently on SY. Coming Sunday starts the TA. Pins excluded from CK, lounge and suite/Pin sun deck. 30 highest Pins are allowed access to CK to include their possible non status companions in same cabin. Breakfast for Pins in Chops. No more 3 dinner/CK. Also it is confirmed that from the Pin count, Pins in suites are not subtracted, all casino masters have full access to CK and lounge as do the Junior suites. So all in all the priority is as follows: 1. suite guests unrestricted 2. Masters with no C&A status unrestricted 3. Junior suites unrestricted 4. Pins when below the threshold of approximately 100, restricted. Substituition for Pins: Dazzles lounge
  21. I will do it for less, but strollers will come into an exclusive inside cabin/cabins.
