    "Sir, you're traveling solo. The new rule is only 1 bottle per adult in the cabin. Why do you have two?" "Well sir, I was planning on there being another adult in the cabin at some point"

    My upcoming Jewel cruise lost the category again. It was there, then gone, then there, now gone again

    We did it once as it was a suite perk at the time. Then we about had heart attacks for as much money as they wanted to charge for the actual photos.

    Which is how it always was. RC just has eliminated the "whip up something completely different than anything on the menu" accommodation that people took too much advantage of.

    There was a week or two where "suite" wasn't appearing on set sail passes, but it came back.

    It's an upscale Cracker Barrel. And there's never an empty Cracker Barrel

    If the demand for English tours is more than Spanish tours, then it makes great sense that the higher demand item costs more.

    They stopped accepting cases of water as checked luggage in 2018 or so.

    Just like Red Lobster is by no stretch of the imagination a good seafood restaurant.

    Go take a look at past cruise compasses to give you an idea

    If you're booked in a suite, the concierge will email you a week or so before the cruise

    It wouldn't surprise me if the perk was always only available on W&F day, but never enforced

    You can buy collapsible beach buckets that'll help in packing.

    Actually the corporate guy in charge of food services said Indian food was the #1 off menu item ordered with the old menus, so there was enough demand to put it one dish on the menu.

    Supply and demand.

    Get it for $80 or less, it's worth it once time. Any more than that and you're paying 500% markup for a lobster

    There's enough demand to put one Indian dish on the menu each night, but definitely not enough demand to dedicate a specialty restaurant to the cuisine.

    The Royal Up program is not out to get you. Its algorithms on who is able to bid is completely based on supply and demand for that particular cruise.

    Kids get drinks. We've never had a problem with that.

    The best answers regarding RC transportation would be to call RC transportation

    RC just had record bookings for a new ship that offers by far the most expensive fares ever seen for an RC ship. Getting more customers is not something RC has to focus on right now. What they have to focus on is battling through a staffing problem that exacerbates itself in the cruise industry as well as paying off debts incurred due to being forced to shut down for so long.

    It can affect cruises depending on the "no sail" zone that's established around the launch time. https://www.cruisehive.com/port-canaveral-juggling-cruise-ships-and-rocket-launch-conflicts/94823
