Then let him stay at home.

Shorts are fine

What about an online fundraising page. The rest of your group could chip in and you could see what could be done here as well. She might have a good patch after treatment and you can rebook her and son last minute for a week she is feeling well. Last minute cost more but with fundraising money and her health taking advantage of a good couple of weeks might be the best and only memories the two of them can have at this point. Maybe enough can be raised to go full out first class last minute. $5 or $10 X hundreds of people reading this could help a lot. And given what your saying she would need a trip planned no more then 7 days in advance. The good weeks pop up and you must make the most of them. And she doesn't need to know if she's to proud till it's a done deal. Think about it.

So did any of it work? Talking to Royal? Checking with credit card?

In months when it's 90 plus out, is it hotter in the Solarium on Wonder then out on deck?

Oh look, if you want to be like that. Opening the flood gates could be for any number of illnesses or problems. Who is to say which should be considered important enough. Do cancer patients not get bills for hundreds of thousands from hospitals? Especially if they don't have insurance or if insurance doesn't cover. Why should cruise lines be more forgiving them medical institutions? Don't lump cancer in as the only opening of the flood gate. I was talking bigger picture and you know it.

I don't see how (as you mentioned in another post) your status with Royal Caribbean should play any part in there decision to refund a non refundable trip to someone you know. I'm sure everyone has a friend of a friend. Not to take anything away from someone who is not well. And if you want to start an online Kickstart type thing I will put in $5 to help replace the money lost. But it just isn't fare to ask them to bend the rule. I had a sad story in 2006 and asked nothing from Royal. It was my problem and wasn't something insurance would cover. But if one gets a break, the flood gates are open.

She has a number of health problems and didn't insure her trip. Even if her pre existing conditions prevented getting insurance, her son should have purchased some. If Royal make one exception they have to make them for everyone. And that's not fare to the rest of us.

What's your deal at this point? I got the $50 obc. However, I never received any email apology. I never received a credit to my card for thr $88.99. My status in the planner still shows booked, like yours does. And my charge went from pending to charged days ago. If they don't credit me soon I will owe interest to Visa. I would like to cancel, but don’t want to loose the $50 obc. With air and hotels I have almost $7k in my trip, non of it refundable at this point, but we have actually had a talk aboutgiving up. The last thing we need is an aggravating disappointing experience. RoyalCaribbean has sucked any and all joy out of the pre cruise planning experience and excitement. Nothing but concerns about future aggravation remains.

This is a messageboard. I type with my thumb. Could you please be done making jokes about my grammar. Once might be funny. This is just unnecessary. Thank you.

Again, this devolved from Mum2Mercury agreeing with billslowsky on food waste and how much people put on their plates in the WJ. A conversation I was part of last night. Because I don't see how there is anything you can do about that, so why bring it up.

How do you. Everyone is drink package mad. All they talk about is how much they need to have to get their monies worth. I really don't give crap. I was talking about micro managing what people put on their plate in WJ. This was response to a post from a post etc etc.

I don't need a lesson in how and what to write from the likes of you. You cannot compare yourself to the average cruiser who drinks. Most go 8 drinks and beyond a day. That bottle brought on board is a profit loss for the ship.

So what we tell people how much they can put on a plate in the WJ like that guy said? Also, you have ZERO idea how wine brought on board effects bar profits. I would say it effects bar profits by the amount of each bottle brought on board.

Over 400 posts since 2009. Your not a one and done complainer, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Many say food has gone downhill. Many say cabins are dusty and dirty. You are not alone on that. Also, many, many are complaining about attitude from staff. I'll buy that one also. What I will question is complaining about price of a trip you purchased 2 weeks out. Land, air, sea, etc...all cost a ton when done last minute. That's on you. And drinks package. Nobody forced you to buy it. If I don't like the price, I don't buy. Again, that's on you. But I will buy the complaints of poor quality and service. As you are not the first and with the way things have been going, not the last with those issues.
