Only a very weak willed/minded person needs to resort to physical violence against a small child in order to teach how to behave. Besides, isn't it always the parents' fault when a child misbehaves? Thank god this way of thinking is dying off.

Yupppppppppp

Imagine paying 5k for an inside cabin and having no pools open?

Quite a few seniors are afraid of slipping in the shower (or don't fit) and treat the pools and hot tubs as the public bath. Seen it on many cruises first thing in the am.

Seen a few playoff games in the Aqua Theater, great atmosphere every time.

All gratuity increase threads matter.

I will be removing the auto grats altogether and rewarding good service in cash as it comes.

Absolutely agree!!

I would much rather they raise fares and do away with gratuities altogether.

Both are defining what an "adult" is based on arbitrary age limits when you think about it.

If you would have asked me 10 years ago I would have said Chops. If you would have asked me 5 years ago I would have said Giovanni's. If you're asking me now I have to say neither are worth the extra price of admission.

Interesting. So if I understand it correctly, you believe that arbitrary age with over 70 on excursions is not ok but arbitrary age with 18 in the Solarium is ok. Gotcha. For the record, I think both are completely ok.

I believe it would be worth it for many people and Royal knows it. And let's face it, it's much easier to let loose and we all party a little harder when we don't have to be on our best behaviour in front of the kiddos. Maybe the Solarium becomes an extension of Hideaway beach on CocoCay??

All that can be had for the low low price of 24.99 per day (18% gratuity automatically added of course).

Eventually they'll probably want to charge a fee to enter the "exclusive adults only zone". And we all know people will pay.
