Well once again the haters have come out...  so glad I posted 1. Yeah 6 drinks at dinner is highly possible, that’s formal dinner, not rushing and hanging out , I drank more than 6 diet cokes, 2. don’t think for a minute there weren’t multiple conversations w him, 3. Just like a regular bar I couldn’t believe he kept being served, if he did harm or get hurt I would think RC would not want that risk, 4. Isn’t this the place to post about “stuff’ , so this is not airing dirty laundry ..you have no idea who I or my family is... I think of this board as conversations w similarly interested people..l thank u to all those who posted concern or even neutral statements ....to the others well... is highly apparent   you get positive reinforcement from being rude, intolerant, nasty, argumentative,

... how sad for you to live in this fashion...

Thanks Momma  Bear got pictures and video, I am sorry is the reply. We get .. mine to him is constant and insistent..Never again.. you have got a problem here... I did not really know before the cruise how bad as in my  house .. there really is no drinking...we just don’t for no particular reason..  those that did also have the package just had a good time trying out things they never had before, had real fun as well and did not go overboard..... he has apologized to the family on the cruise , and after in Disney.. still this kids got a problem... is our kinda adopted son.... we are all worried about him,  and I am highly annoyed as well as the great vacation we were to have now has this nasty over lay on it......   I did not know Carnival has limits ... kudos to them... and still I was on their boats as well.. saw many people like my kid was....really have not seen this yet on RCI. And my third cruise w them

Thanks so much for saying that Chipford ,  not logical for RC to not monitor.... too easy to lose $$$

When we confronted him he apologized and did it again,  this was way too much for him to control.... never had been on a cruise before, like to drink. And I know he even scared himself a bit as we went to Disney after and he was not a happy fellow but it still did Not make it better and he is def. not off the hook for this event,  I am sure he will never go again can not afford it, as I said I paid for the group to go

We DID talk to him , all 5 of us....all day ..each day and if the bar tenders looked.. slurring his words, difficulty ambulating , Overly friendly,  we redirected him, moved  him to other locations, took him to events, basically baby sat him as much as we could,  even at dinner , 6 drinks. I counted.. being the loud mouth person I am I told him and the wait staff to not bring him more drinks... So he waited until after dinner went to a bar and got more.   Yes I KNOW he must have a ETOH problem,  and I am in recurrent conversation w him now about this,  my wish would be that since this is all automated. RCI put a flag  to the bar tenders as they def could know how many drinks he has had in what time period,  come on, this is the age of computerization  AND if it knew this before hand , I would never have let him know about this package, this was his first cruise, along w my other son and I paid for them to go, but not for the packages they purchased.  This freedom. To drink was obliviously was too seductive for his personality to not abuse it,  the other 3 27 ish year olds w the same package were fine...I had posted to share my distress to the community here... he really did cast a nasty shadow On the trip

I must say I am embarrassed to post this about my own family. Recently off the Indy stepson had purchased unlimited drink package and drink way too much. He must've had over 20 drinks and was clearly obviously way over his limit. I was really happy that the bartender at the bar he frequented stop giving him drinks and only gave him bottled water but my  stepson was able to bypass this by going to different bars to get more drinks. The five other family members on the trip talked to him constantly about how much he was drinking and tried to get him  to stop drinking and it didn’t work.  He drank for all four days of the trip quite frankly he will ruined it for the other five of us. Even went to get services but I knew as an adult he
can do what he wanted to I asked them if they will be able to put an alert on his card for the bartenders to closely chat before they gave him a drink but they said that was something they couldn't do.  I blame nobody but him for his behavior I only hoped that Royal Caribbean would've been able to help a little bit by putting some kind of information on his set and sail pass as not all bartenders where as able as others chanel his really drunk status.  I am sad embarrassed and not happy with him. 

Of course a typical grieving family would take the valid path of I make a terrible mistake...not this crap, family and Gf are engaged in.  I am on Independence have been since 2/13 and in looking around not one single kid has been near any of the windows, not not looking around. Or out nothing and there are plenty of kids, they are playing..... ,  not even interested...  stupid double dumb ass GF either called her over or allowed her to follow and then did not have common sense or even a shred of logic to move her away..even worse, and more upsetting I went to the windows open and not open,  in port and out at Sea...if a person and deaf and blind they would  KNOW the window was open.. at first I was part of the group thinking OMG how would  I feel if  I were the Mom.  But that is over.... I still have compassion . Extreme for Mom and Dad but nothing now but anger for GF how could a toddler enjoy thus,  even if the brainless GF did not drop her, I would think she was terrified, how often would she have been held out out or next to.  What ever story high open window,  banging floor level at a hockey game is something else entirely, this has been in my mind since I got on the boat

I doubt anyone is getting  pleasure, for me, I really can not believe  this idiot did this and the family is sticking by him.. and others that post have more ways to find out information than I do I feel I get the most updated data here that I can not find out on my own.  I do not enjoy when posters are rude to other posters ..but apparently it is a highly desisted repeated behavior for some 

So, how will the legal proceedings evolve, is it like ours where there is a jury of “peers” a judge decision, ? have no idea of the laws , and what do you all think is the possibility that Royal, in the end, will cave, I hope they dont this event appears so oblivious to all except the family

So who is doing the screening and pulse ox, and what pulse ox is too low.. we all better take deep breathes before we get our sats taken. lol

I know why do I check , eh, no changes still waiting we cruise 2/13/20..... just can’t help myself, it is such a tease to even offer if they don’t reply... I have seen others posted they were denied the AM of. I think that’s horrible. Proof big buisness=ss does not give a sh - -  if it is stressful,  why did I think it would be otherwise.. can always be a optimist.. apparently  it gets me nowhere but frustrated 

Well, purchased on line 1/16/20 received email, fromRCCL, it would be sent via email,or mail. I choose email, once funds left bank, funds left bank on 1/17/20, nothing has arrived. This was to be a surprise for my son. Called yesterday , literally waited 32 minutes to be on a call with a less than adequate rep, probably new , who put me on hold, I counted 5 times to figure out what to do after asking me the same questions over and over,  finally she began to fill out a form, with a question... what were the gift certificate numbers... that is where I stopped after 1 hour plus of her.  Asked for supervisor.. after I said to her... what do you think we have spent over- the past 36 minutes talking about, they Never came there are no numbers to give you.  After another wait... 45 more minutes.. was rewarded with a supervisor who was proficient in taking my issue... ..still no GC, grand total time from start of call including initial wait time 2 hours 14 minutes, luckily I was doing other things concurrently and had then on speaker phone but I am highly angry, partially at myself for waiting to check,  we cruise on 2/13... so. Do not buy GC’s on line🥵  

Seriously cruise -vacation- lighten up. This is not a rule nor a law.... not everyone feels comfortable in a shirt w a tie or a dressy dress.. I think those who do look glorious beautiful handsome... but once we sit down does it really matter .... is it so important for the 5 minute walk to your dinning room chair to dress up

No answer on my 2 bids we go 2/13 Independence 

It is yummy like a honeydew melon pina colda

K will do thank u 😊 had no idea how to get a virgin one of those lol

So I like a Midori colada occasionally but have the freshment package can I pay for that to be upgraded as 1 drink request or  do I have to buy a whole new drink 

So, Bloody Mary or Pina Colda , no alcohol for breakfast , how early and where can I get it on the Indy,  thank you 🤗

So not meaning to change the thread,but, after the cruise, we go to Walt Disney World , lol talk about another location....lots and lots of foreign visitors...I guess we stay away from the China Pavillin  in EPCOT, just kidding, we cruise in 10 days  on the Indy to W Carribean, and yes also a RN had to be fit tested for years for myN95 mask,  always had to be weighted , nightmare, lol,just a little humor ....I will be bringing  no masks, my family already knows hand washing techniques, poor things to have aMom a  RN,  and I am 60, never have gotten ill not once from all,of the lovely stuff Inhave have been around,  I am blessed and very lucky....but I do really wash my hands all the time don’t touch my face... and I ate at very single salad bar and buffet I can find... just luck I guess, no colds,  no stomach virus  no seasonal flu, same for my kids who are now in their late 20’s..so either we are immune, just kidding, lucky or the hand washing works

Thank u so much perfect had no clue about that blog uggh  it I great😀😀

Thank you highly.....have not cruised w family before we have 4 rooms... all over 👍

I am sure we can call room to room, am I correct ? can we leave messages ?  Kids can’t afford texting  and we r all over the ship..dry wipe  boards already packed not interested in walk-in talkies  which we will never use again thank you friends 

Royal up killing me we cruise in 14 days no word yet

So legal, people reading, tell me this,  it appears the majority of us here  are thinking  this is a frivolous type of law suit,  there is verbiage in the contract not to do this, not a act of cruise ship negligence, the direct unauthorized result of a incorrect human action, ( who besides Michale Jackson dangles a baby outside  a window many stories up ). Can a judge dismiss this as a invalid suit ?  If it goes to court  Can you imagine the cruise contract we will now have to sign, which will cover anything any idiot might litigate for. Thank u in advance 

Forget color blind ,once u stand in front of those windows as others has posted the smell, the breeze you could practically be blind and deaf and know the window is open,  I know we are all speculating, ,...when is the actual court phase taking place will it be televised ?
