Is there now a charge for continental breakfast room service?

More variety too.:)

More germs......:(:eek:

We've been cruising for 20 years and all but 3 times have been with RCCL. To say the least, we've been very loyal and introduced many of our friends to RCCL. We sailed on January 27th on Harmony of the Seas and due to health issues, this was our first cruise in 3 years. The ship was beautiful and clean, the crew was friendly and helpful but the whole dining experience was very disappointing. Over the years we've noticed changes, of course, but what a difference 3 years has made! Back in the "good old days" the dining was elegant, food was delicious and presentation impeccable. Gone are the days when we would have a drink on our table when we arrived and the bar waiter would pass our table frequently. At the end of the meal, we would have the opportunity to have the after-dinner-drink of the day and who could pass these up in the pretty little glasses? The food served was so delicious there was no need to pay extra for eating in a special place on board. In fact, as I recall, there were no separate restaurants. On formal nights there was either a pianist or string quartet, and other nights as well. Our last night on the Harmony, I swear my selection was a frozen dinner! And don't even get me started of the lack of dress code. Are we the only ones objecting to this and should we just move on to another cruise line for older and stuffier cruisers?

I feel the same way about cruising the Mass Market cruise lines. I call them WalMart on Water. I am a Diamond Plus Member and will probably never cruise on RCCL again.....subpar food, service and experience. Not worth my vacation time.

Thanks for the info on Harry Potter, I am going to have to read them. Do you have any cruises planned in the future? My next one is March 15.

I love to read and cruise!! I wish I could cruise more than I get the chance to though!! My favorite book series is Little House on the Prairie. Yes, I'm adult who loves this series!! I read through it about every couple of years. Right now I am reading through the Harry Potter series.

Hello fellow reader......I too wish I could cruise more...I think I might be addicted to cruising AND reading... :D My favorite genre is Cozy Mysteries....however I too love the Little House on the Prairie series...and yes I am adult too. I haven't read any of the Harry Potter series....would you recommend it?

Hello Fellow Cruisers:

I am an avid reader and cruiser. I would like to know if you are too...............:cool::cool:
