Totally Unacceptable

[Qwksilver]

I’m not sure if you are all aware of this major issue. It began once we got off the ship.

These cards are useless. Once we got home we went to the local coffee shop (we will not name the place to keep some peace) and the barista said these cards could not be used there. Then we went to the local café for some lunch. Same thing happened. In both places the managers were no help either and don't get me started on our local pub. This is unreal. In addition to this grief, we can’t find our room steward anywhere. Our bed hasn’t been made in 4 days. I mean c’mon what kind of service is this?

Royal is definitely slipping and if we could find the ship, we’d let the captain know of our concerns. We’re at a loss for words and we are looking for some suggestions.

 

Thanks as always.

 

 

 

 

PS it was a great cruise and we’re trying to see when we can go back.

Sounds like you didn’t pre-pay the gratuity.  Give the barista, bartender and wait staff $20 to $50 with the order, and the card will work just fine.

 

I think more than $50 gratuity up front will qualify you for Diamond Plus status immediately.

You have to follow the extension cord back to the ship....DUH

This is a prime example of cruise withdrawal, which includes short term confusion and delerium ..........................

Did you make sure to let all those folks know your status when you presented your card? I mean, ya gotta impress em to make the cards work.

Quick trip to guest services will resolve the issue.

If only we could find the ship. I know it's not in Ft Lauderdale right now.

Cards don't work on land until you visit your on shore muster station, duh

you didn't follow the dress code in the coffee house!  It said no wet bathing suits! The shame! Don't forget to share a review!

The whale drawings are spot on.....My card has Yoda on it.

[depplep]

Love it!

Try dealing with guest services at my house (aka my wife), she rarely listens to my complaints, almost never gives me any onboard credit either.  Don't get me started on the drink service.

 

[SilkySal]

Just hurry and book some more, so you have something to forward to!! Don't feel sad about the last one; feel good about the next one!! Cheers!!

I'm not making any judgments but it does look like Marie wore out her drink package on her sea pass. Just sayin'...

Only a fellow non-AA member would notice that. Well done!
