But, but but... It's not fair..😂 I want to go on Icon, on Christmas or NYE week, stay in a suite, have the unlimited drink package, the dining package AND rent an over water Cabana on Coco Cay for my standard cruise budget of $1000 per person/cruise. Why doesn't Royal accomodate my wishes or want my business...? Bad business, they will probably go bancrupt if they continue like this...🤪😎😂

I heard this from a friend many years ago... doesn't work. The machine will lock up and Tilt if it is moved, pushed or leveled by a drunk person or his friend... 😎

Did it last year in Barcelona when we had a 2 pm flight. Well worth the money. Had to be off the ship at 11 or 12 at the latest, don't remember exactly. We got funny looks from all people boarding when we were dragging our luggage of the ship. I even joked wit some of them and said that they are kicking us off the ship before the cruise even started...

This I also find funny and strange from a European perspective. To say you can get the drink package for $60 + 18% tax is strange, just as paying $9 for a beer+ 18% tax is strange IMHO when no one can get it for that price. All need to pay $70.8for the drink package or $10.62 for the beer. Why say a lesser price then when that is not the actual cost? I see the point in knowing how much is tax and what is the price but when saying how much it costs or I paid for it it is pointless to point out the tax since tax is required and not volontary. Same as in goin to a hotel in Las Vegas and saying that a the room cost $70 when it costs $70+ tax+ $50 resort fee + tax = lots more than $130 in total. It is actually a bit missleading IMO. Now I am used to most discussions on Cruise or Vegas forums are US based but it doesn't really make sense to me.

Enchantment have pizza in the solarium café. However sadly it is the same premade pizza that Sorrento offers.

Second that, specially on Anthem out of UK we have had better Indian food in Windjammer than in some land based Indian restaurants. Only ate once in MDR and it wasn't anything special.

It's one of the top levels in Club Royale, Casino Royales membership program. High rollers in the casino can earn that level and get comped cruises, access to Costal Kitchen and the Suite lounge among other things.

Don't forget to laugh condescendingly to the poor Pinnacles and Signatures that can't get access to Costal Kitchen, remind them that your a more valued cruiser than they are, atleast on this cruise regardless of their status. Tell them also that you have made suggestions to Royal that Suite lounge and Costal Kitchen should always only be for suite guests and no one else 😉🤪😎 PS. This was a joke, so not everyone reports me...

Great, then I will proudly wear and show everyone both my Platinum and Emerald pins and remind them that it is only old and loyal members like myself that have gotten these... 😂😎🤪

Who said that everything ends with a tip? But I belive in rewarding crewmembers or staff if they go the extra mile and specially when they do something that is not expected or required of them.

Bring the popcorn, doesn't take much space. Tip one of the crew in Windjammer and I am sure that they can use some microwave in the kitchen not available for the guests. You have nothing to loose by asking 🙂

They had popcorn for sale outside of the theatre on both Voyager and Enchantment last year. (However not microwave made)

What a horrible experience to lose a family member on an otherwise happy vacation 😞

I can get the US price online aswell, but when trying to make a reservation I haven't gotten further than what US state to put in and since I don't live in the US I never went further. Maybe it will be easier if calling. I can see that some cruises such as Transatlantics are almost the same price, but European cruises differ very much in price and is always much more expensive to book for Europeans than from the Usa. Would be interesting to know if it is the same price for Canadians and US market for the same cruise?

We have good friends that live in Florida so I might try to put my name on their adress when booking. Will be interesting to see if it works out. Consumer rights are good to a certain degree, but not if I need to pay $1200 more...

You are correct that tips are prepaid and not optional when booking from Europe but they are specified and I actually removed them when I made my comparison, otherwise it would have been almost $250 more. I also belive we have a very little bit more protection such as possibility to cancel and get our slightly lower (about $400 instead of I belive $500 in the US) reservation fee back. As far as I know we can't book non refundable cruises here but we also miss out on the matching price if the cruise price becomes lower. But regardless, if the same cruise, same cabin is $1200 cheaper I am going to hunt for an American travel agency that accepts European customers alternativly give Club Royale a call and see what price I get there.

Same thing on Enchantment last month. Felt really nice to see all the pics, like cruising was 10 years ago.

I am looking at a 7 day cruise on July the 6th 2025 out of Barcelona on Allure for a Western Mediterranean cruise and notice that there is a huge price difference if I look at the cruise from Royals US side compared to their European one. If I book this cruise from the EU site they want $3759 for an interior GTY but if I book it from the US site it only costs $2519. Of course Royal makes it hard for us Europeans to do that since we need to fill in a US state to be able to book and then it doesn't match the adress they have on file but I am wondering if I call the Club Royale can I book this cruise through their casino numbers and get the US price regardless if I have a casino offer? I have read somewhere that it is possible to book through Club Royale regardless if one have any current offer. Club Royale uses US pricing regardless of where the customer is I belive.The other option is going through a US travel agency I suppose. Have any other Europeans done this successfully? I refuse to pay almost $4000 for an interior GTY on Allure...

This is a very simple but valid point. But people want things NOW, not save for it later, be it a car, a cruise or some other material thing. That is why 8 of 10 persons buy things on credit, not to get points or cashback (even if 100% claims that)

I honestly belive that karma already did.. happy people that are satisfied with their lives don't behave like that. I never wish bad things to happen to anyone but I have seen many people bring bad things on to theirselves because of their choises in life.

There are healthy options everywhere but it takes some motivation to choose them.. my wife ate oatmeal and fruit every morning while I ate egg and bagels. She often choose fish and fresh or roasted vegetables for lunch and dinner and skipping the rice or potatoes while I ate meat and rice, I also love Indian food but tried to eat more chicken and lamb than pork or beef. One of us gained 5 kilo (11 pounds?) and one didn't, guess who did? 😂😂😂

Many people complain about "watered down" drinks and that they don't get their normal buzz but I think that has more to do with the facts that many people eat like they have never seen food before (just look at some people filling a whole plate with bacon, eggs and other fat foods) which is perfect if you want to be able to drink much without getting drunk or getting a hangover but not so if you want to get a buzz. Also many drinks are like a shot of alcohol with 800 calories of sugar, drink 5 of them during 4 hours and you will not feel a buzz due to all the other energy consumed. Water it down with some lightbeer of 4% alcohol and its a recepie for not feeling drunk.. Drink 7% Ipa:s and shots of Jack Daniels instead of frozen drinks at the pool in the sun and don't eat more than normally done at home and I guarantee that most people except those with very high tolerance will be just as drunk as when home... 🤪

As a shareholder I salute you! 😉 Se it this way, YOU have helped RCL stock to rally incredible 114% this year, yesterday it closed at $105.81 😉

Just walk in, it wasn't busy at all when we sailed her (although it was sept -22)

I feel like a highroller compared to you 😉
