Seen a few playoff games in the Aqua Theater, great atmosphere every time.

All gratuity increase threads matter.

I will be removing the auto grats altogether and rewarding good service in cash as it comes.

Absolutely agree!!

I would much rather they raise fares and do away with gratuities altogether.

Both are defining what an "adult" is based on arbitrary age limits when you think about it.

If you would have asked me 10 years ago I would have said Chops. If you would have asked me 5 years ago I would have said Giovanni's. If you're asking me now I have to say neither are worth the extra price of admission.

Interesting. So if I understand it correctly, you believe that arbitrary age with over 70 on excursions is not ok but arbitrary age with 18 in the Solarium is ok. Gotcha. For the record, I think both are completely ok.

I believe it would be worth it for many people and Royal knows it. And let's face it, it's much easier to let loose and we all party a little harder when we don't have to be on our best behaviour in front of the kiddos. Maybe the Solarium becomes an extension of Hideaway beach on CocoCay??

All that can be had for the low low price of 24.99 per day (18% gratuity automatically added of course).

Eventually they'll probably want to charge a fee to enter the "exclusive adults only zone". And we all know people will pay.

If you don't drink all 4 D drinks that day stop off at a bar on the way back to your cabin for the night and get some bottles of water for the next day. Don't let any of the 4 drinks go to waste.

We've paid less for a 7 day balcony cruise.

Only a matter of time until they start charging extra for access to the adults only Solarium on board the ship.

On our last Oasis cruise I found the CK attire becoming more and more relaxed as the week progressed. Nice shorts and a t-shirt was perfectly fine. We ate every single meal in there and everything we had was great.....and never any lines to deal with. Never had an empty wine or beer glass in front of me which was awesome. Enjoy!!
