not-enough-cruising

The ability to post a screen shot is completely diminished when one has zero comprehension as to what they have posted. ALL of us that cruise Royal KNOW for a FACT that you DON't get 15 drinks with the card. You get 15 shots of espresso. MANY of the drinks, when ordered "as specified" (your words) come with multiple shots of espresso, therefore MULTIPLE punches. The BEST you can hope to do with the card is come out $4-$5 ahead IF you are strategic with your ordering. NOT worth the hassle

Now I am convinced we are dealing with an internet troll. EVERYTHING you have posted is false. bye bye

No, you don’t always come out ahead. The math on the punch card, is intended to create the same revenue regardless of how the consumer “pays” for the drink (punch card VS room charge) Each punch is worth roughly $2.50. You can get a large cappuccino at the cafe for about five bucks Also, NO, gratuity is not included in the price on your screen shot, so add 18% to that $31

And I go back to my previous message to you. It IS NOT as advertised. Many drinks require more than one punch. It is NOT a one for one exchange rate.

DUDE, no one here is cruising Princess. No one here can get the $36 PRINCESS coffee card.

Well, there is the disconnect. We aren’t talking about the same cruise line

It’s FAR from a no brainer. It all depends on what type of coffee you drink, what size coffee you drink, what ship you are on and who the F&B manager is and how they interpret the punch system. It isn’t always a good deal, and in some instances can be a money loss

WAY too many variables to make this statement

$5k is FAR from the high end for a Tag

$3K-$5K for common models is “affordable market”

A simple, yet elegant, solution

I have never seen onion rings outside of Johnny Rockets or Chops

Book a bogus second guest and show up for boarding alone; get taxes and fees for second passenger refunded automatically Done

The Bahamas is not a great place to shop for watches

Especially after the Grandfather plead guilty to negligent homicide, what is left to decide?

wow!!, over react much??

JS and above still receive twice daily service

Don’t think that’s true. I have seen 3 belly flop contests this year

You are exactly right, no BC submitted for a renewal

You don’t submit your BC for a renewal

Sandals is ridiculously expensive. Like you, I am very hard pressed to find an AI for a week that is anywhere close to what I pay for a week long cruise.

The generally have a dedicated table set up for WOW bands in Boleros. The lines aren’t too bad.

Yes, even at Sandals. We went to Sandals in St Lucia (visited all 3 properties), the liquor was LOW grade and definitely light on the pours or watered down

This whole thread is personal and subjective

They would have been changing the sheets on embarkation day if it were me
