I really don’t see the big deal. It’s just giving good service.

Usually 3x during a one week cruise. However, on our last two cruises on Allure, the third show was canceled each time. We normally book first show and try to get in and see other two. Mamma Mia us DWs favourite musical.

Never had the experience at Cape Liberty. Always drive right into garage. Has this happened to you more than once?

Maybe they process as assigned. If so, I don’t think you should expect anything more.

Absolutely agree, and think benefits are great.

Wow, you’ve got skills!

At the end of the day, a RCI cruise is still one of the best values for a vacation. They provided such good service and a great loyalty program that ships are bloated by D, D+, and P cruisers. So, if anything, they’re a victim of their own success. Sorry to see you go, but there are many ready to take your place.

Porters are unionized, bonded and longshoremen. Whether you tip or not is your concern. The reality of the world is stuff happens for any number of reasons. It is highly doubtful a bag would be “left” due to a $10 tip. The only conceivable way I could see it happening is if someone were excessively rude and condescending. And, we all know all cruisers are polite, undemanding and never complain. Hmmm.

Really depends on what level of service you’re looking for. If you want that Walmart experience, then you’re right. But if you want a higher level of service then no. Service professionals aren’t going anywhere, we live in a service economy.

Wow, that’s quite a hack.

Each individual can have their own crown and anchor number. It’s the C&A number and points that determines benefits. If you don’t have one, you can contact RCI and they’ll assign one to you and points according to your cruise history. If you’ve never cruised and your wife and kids aren’t going on the cruise, then you’re not able to use the possible benefits of their tier. Best to call them, explain your situation and they’ll explain everything to you. Best wishes. Cheers, Aaron

We do, and just got our boosters.

Just saying, don’t you think you come across as an entitled snowflake telling people “who do they think they are” and stepping forward?

Enjoy yourself and have a great time. People here opine and argue about everything.

Hence ‘usually’ and not ‘always’!

I’m so sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your family. May she Rest In Peace.

Do what works best for your family, have fun.

Usually happens day after (or night of) Thanksgiving.

I’d go by the ports and which you prefer.

Cococay, more to do and the locals are not harassing. The one plus on Labadee is the zip line, but how many times will you do that?

Question two, why didn’t they just leave? It’s very sad but I don’t believe it’s Royal’s fault. My heart goes out to their family for their loss.

You mean the parking lot!

Get someone to replace them and pay the other person.

We’re on Anthem for Xmas, as normal I’ll have my card punched at Guest Services. Yes, I was told on one or two cruises they can’t but spoke to other crew members. The issue is really not punching the card in the wrong place. But when you have someone who knows what they’re doing, it’s a breeze. And, I don’t use the lanyard all the time (but don’t begrudge anyone who does). I just find it very convenient during the day if I’m out and about to pool, gym or windjammer, it’s just easy and safe. The plastic sleeves are a pain, it’s difficult to pull out a card from a wet or tight sleeve and they usually break. This works for me and my family, YMMV.

Oh please, a lanyard under a shirt works well. If you run, seapass cards drop out of pockets. The lanyard works. And, I’ll say it again even RFID cards can be punched. The person just needs to know where to punch. So, I will happily and tackily wear my lanyard. Everyone enjoy it however you like, whatever floats your boat.
