RCCL has gone to once a day cabin service, except JS and higher still get twice a day service. Plus for Princess.

We usually have coffee delivered to the cabin in the morning for our wake up. Guess now one of us will pay the $15 one time delivery fee or a couple of days $5 RS fee. At least won’t need to worry about keeping small bills anymore for tip.

I think what most of us are saying is…you are spending a few bucks for the candy, instead of buying the candy, they would probably appreciate the extra cash instead. Remember these hardworking people are working months at a time, far from home, for money, not candy.

Then he can ask you to buy his bag of candy for $10. 😂

How do you know they want candy? You should try a test. On a table place a $10 bill and a bag filled with $10 bag of candy. Ask them to pick one.

The thought is nice, but give them cash to buy their own candy bar.

My TA said my Military Credit for $100 is showing for my April 2024 cruise.

I chuckle everytime I see someone state that they don't use a clean towel, everyday, at home.

Was in Victoria a couple of weeks ago on Quantum of the Seas. Larger than any Princess ship. Not port intensive anymore? Please explain.

Well said!

Exactly, not like Princess, Celebrity, or Holland America. So far.

Did he request that his room only be serviced once a day?

Again, not the point! It's not a hotel, it's a cruise that has previously provided this service and no longer does.

Just got off Quantum this last Monday, June 19. These are my thoughts on the once a day cabin servicing and how it worked on our cruise. Our steward met us as we entered our room at 1:30 and introduced himself. He asked if we wanted early or late servicing. I told him we would like early and I requested he leave 4 towels, ice bucket, 2 bath robes, and open the balcony dividers to our 3 rooms. Other than having wet towels on the floor over night, it wasn't a big problem. On the after cruise survey, I commented on the good job that our steward did, but "dinged" them on the cutback to once a day service, after raising the daily fee. I never take off the auto grats, but for the first time ever did not give any extra. It looked to me that the housekeeping staff has been greatly reduced. All other sections had plenty of staff...bar, Windjammer, and dining room. Overall a very good cruise with grandkids and family.

Not the point! You are not at home!

Just got off Quantum…bought in advance. Nine year old grandson had no problem with games and didn’t go over his limit. Did like it when he figured his card worked on air hockey.

On Quantum now. Plug is only on one side of bed. Just like pic above.

After 4 phone calls it has been corrected.

Why would you tip your room steward extra for cleaning your room only once a day?

Thanks. Is there a discount if you purchase in advance or same price on board?

When I log onto OceanReady it does not show my Elite status so I am unable to pre purchase internet with discount. My wife’s is showing correct. I have called Princess. There is a language problem and and they don’t seem to understand what the problem is. Anyone experience this? Suggestions?

What would be the WiFi cost for a 12 day cruise...1 device/4 device for Elite? Has the price increased since January? Thanks

Good info…if we were previously paying Stateroom Attendant $3.05/day and he was cleaning room twice a day…we are now paying him $3.05/day for once a day cleaning. I’m not saying that anyone should reduce tips, just realize that we are paying the same for less service.

That is not the point.

We are on the June 12 cruise. Have been to Alaska several times and Skagway has been our favorite stop. Have done both the Jeep rental and the train, both are one of a lifetime experiences. It’s a shame that if this is going to be your only cruise trip to Alaska. you’re going to miss this stop. We have always taken Princess before, but wanted to try Quantum. The scenery is spectacular, so don’t let your disappointment in missing Skagway ruin your trip! As someone has stated RCCL has known about this problem for months and continued to sell this itinerary. 😡
