I like Royal Caribbean, but -- yeah -- they have some short comings:  

 

1.  Calling customer service on the phone 

2.  Shops that sell jewelry and watches 

3.  The spa 

4.  Drink package as "a bargain" 

5.  Separate suite seating by the pool 

Especially Effe!!

1.  Lack of late night food options

2. The absurd price for the drink package and cocktails in general 

3.  Need a better App to communicate with friends/family onboard 

4. Itineraries from Bayonne

5.  Johnny Rocket’s.  You can do better RCCL!

At least if you go thru NYC to get to Bayonne, you get to be a crime statistic!!

1. "broadway" shows and Music inspired shows with pop songs from 5 decades ago.

2.  Antiquated setup on refurbished ships to charge items let alone have same items next to you when charging.

3.  Inability to truly relax at spa as advertised with push to buy a $100 cream to straighten out a wrinkle on your toe.

4.  Fellow cruise people look nothing like the commercials on TV.

5.  Coco Cay Over the water Cabanas.

1. Constant sales that have countdown when they end in 2 days, 6 hours, 37 minutes, 3 seconds.

2. Paying a stranger hundreds of dollars to give you a glorified back rub.

3. $1,200 Deluxe beverage package for convenience and to “save” money. The only way to save is if you get drunk everyday and are lucky enough not to get cirrhosis of the liver.

4. Automatic gratuities months or years before receiving service. Imagine going to a restaurant on land and giving the waiter a tip, and saying, “this is for my dinner 2 years from now.” Crazy!!

5. Booking a virtual balcony while on a ship at sea.

I honestly thought to myself.......”must be a dog person? How sad...” hahahahahahahahahah

 

But I would say that Cats isn’t overrated, it seems to be at least 50% disliked, so.....maybe just “rated”? Hahaha unless you feel like it needs to be nonexistent and whoever invented it should be banished from the earth? Haha I mean, I wanted to walk out of the real show when I was 8, so I feel your pain.....

So your saying you want less late night food options?

Doh!  I meant

1.  Late night food options.  😂

 

I get tired of pizza and finger sandwiches. At least on some ships with Playmakers I can pay a little more and get some good chicken wings etc...

 

I still prefer royal Caribbean buy a significant margin, but one thing that Norwegian did very well was O’Sheehans.  Loved that it was open 24 hours and had a good menu

Huh!  I thought the poster WAS referring to the animal, not the show.  Never seen the show, but cannot stand cats.

Are you quoting the end of MASH??

Not consciously.  I've been using it for decades in certain situations and in the Army I used it when I was done with my meeting with my squad/section/secretary/whatever.  I guess that it's my way of showing unquestionable finality.
