Royal has never charged us a fee for the calls we made. Also if you need to make a call in an emergency call gurst services from cabin rather than waiting on line. When Stockholm stop was cancelled, took a look at line, went back to cabin and called guest services. I needed to cancel a private tour. No problem, no fee.
Pre cellphone I would call Royal for the ship's direct phone number and fax number to give to my secretary for an emergency. Not sure if she ever needed to use it.
We had been assigned this cabin and travel agent fight back. Wanted a gty JS, not this. We won. Of course this was on the Jewel for January 2022, which they cancelled! Oh well. Agree, wanted the balcony. Ours was a caribbean cruise so a balcony would be really nice.
I was told by a food and beverage officer they were no more substitions. I didn’t think he really meant it but from what i'm reading I guess i was wrong. I can see this as being a problem.
Several years ago we were 36. Had several tables, various sizes. It was an aunt and uncle's anniversary so we changed seats each night so we all got a chance to sit with them. Confused our waiters but told them not to worry.
