They kept St. Kitts which is farther away than St. Thomas. Is it because they make more revenue on excursions etc. in St. Kitts?

St Kitts pays them to come to the....

And with this, Cruise Critic has truly outlived its usefulness

That is quite harsh!

After all this is a rather important topic!

Also why can't people use their own cabin for that?  

Maybe they don't want that smell in their cabin!?

Homemade cookies are a problem too!

Drastic schedule changes due to mechanical problems on the Allure call for valid consumer complaints.  Our sailing originally had stops in St. Kitts, St. Thomas and Nassau.  Due to the propulsion issues onboard, the itinerary now shows St. Kitts with a five hour reduced time in Nassau, and the cancellation of St. Thomas which was replaced by San Juan with a 2 pm departure.  I have no interest in going back after 6 stops in Puerto Rico.  We were already considering staying on the ship in Nassau.  Now, with the cancellation of the port of St. Thomas and a 2 pm departure from San Juan, there is very little that we can do with children.  Royal Caribbean has refused passengers on non-refundable fares refunds or the ability to change their itinerary even if they have not made their final payments.  Frankly, at this point we are stuck. I think that each and every one of us affected should call and demand compensation.  If an airline cancels a flight due to weather or airport conditions there is no refund.  However, if it is for mechanical reasons they have to compensate the traveler.     Royal Caribbean needs to understand that travelers have other options and they will lose future repeat business.  Their inability to fix a mechanical issue that was known years ago is the cause of this problem.  The cruise contract allows  RCCL to change ports.   Perhaps, we should call RCCL to complain as well as urge our congressmen to change the law to force cruise ships to adhere to the same rules the airlines have been forced to abide by.  If the cruise line's maintenance issues cause a port cancellation, passengers should be compensated.  

They are sailing full no matter what they do!

They can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and people will still sail with them!

I will tell you here what I write every time this comes up.

 

Because of these things and this behavior, this person has been BANNED from the Grandeur.

 

Royal Caribbean will not let them back on the Grandeur, but lets them on the Anthem.

 

Let that sink in.  

Does not make much sense!

Or use a rum-runner....

A little sausage with laxatives will work too....😜

I don't understand the hazmat suit and respirator. I work/worked in a hospital and cleaned up way more than urine and required no more than gloves and a disposable gown

Maybe he had Noro?🤣

Get to know your steward and waiters - they have great stories to tell about their families and where they come from.

 In addition to the standard daily gratuities, what does everyone usually leave their cabin attendant at the end of a seven night cruise? 

Nothing!

I was thinking about that Marci, and was going to suggest asking for cash to play one of the live games.

 

Have you ever seen them give out special chips for cash advances, instead of cash?

Recently they refuse to give chips and say you have to go to the tables....

They only do the parts of the cabins that REALLY need a fresh up....

Good question!

Partly.  Sounds more like excessive speed under ice warnings, the brittle steel used in her construction, and the weakened structure from the coal bunker fire all contributed to the disaster

Saw a documentary where they found that all the big shots overloading the 2 young communication officers with their wire messages caused it.

Because the cruise line gave priority to the paid wire services ( a first on the Titanic)  - the young unexperienced communication -officer wast totally overloaded and forgot to pass on the iceberg warning to the captain – that warning was not passed on for more than 4 hours!

So greed of the the cruise line was the root cause for the disaster!

This tip is huge to remember!  I need to try this as I hate tying up non-refundable but the savings matter too 🙂

But most of the times the pricing will be so high that a re-price will not give you any savings!

And every night in between.  People are welcome to dress like complete slobs and still march into the MDR on formal night. 

Sounds like they are the same as Carnival
