I just looked at the current Symphony itinerary on the app, and brunch is the only option on all four sea days. On Jewel and Anthem though, breakfast and lunch are still separate. So maybe it’s just an Oasis class thing. For now.
-
They don’t make it easy but it can be done. At least it can on Symphony - I assume it’s the same on Wonder. There are videos on YouTube showing how to do it.

Presumably the thinking is that people want a lie-in on sea days and are happy to eat later. Rather like weekends at hotels where the breakfast rush is later than on weekdays. But I imagine the real reason is that offering one meal service is cheaper than two.

Deployment 2025-26 booking season begins

I wonder if @andreasfcb may be from Germany where debt is still widely regarded as shameful and credit cards are not very popular (although it’s slowly changing). In fact the German word for debt, ‘schuld’, also means guilt. Cash is still king there. -
Livorno - late back to ship
gumshoe958 replied to texascane's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Definitely a cautionary tale, and a good reminder that it’s always sensible to note down the port agent’s number so you can let them know if there’s a problem. That could have ended very badly if they hadn’t been able to contact you. But good on you for doing your own thing. Ignore the inevitable “that’s why we only take ship tours” comments. Life’s too short to be ripped off for dull, sanitised bus tours. -
Yes, it’s now a hybrid brunch menu on sea days served (on the current Odyssey sailing at least) between 8:30 and noon. The full, separate breakfast & lunch selections are still available in the Windjammer.

Denied Boarding at Port, with PITIFUL Compensation
gumshoe958 replied to SG65CB's topic in Royal Caribbean International
In no way is it right, but Royal’s logic will be that people who book guarantees are more price conscious and less likely to spend $$$ on board so are more easily dispensable. Put simply, Royal is happy to live without them if, quite reasonably, they decide to take their business elsewhere. Money talks. -

I wonder if they expected the entire WC and the quarters to sell out quickly but when they didn’t they had to come up with a Plan B - the shorter segments. But by then it was too late. Regardless, I suspect it’s a mistake they won’t be repeating. -

You’d think, given that it’s not even sold out when virtually every other ship is sailing full. For a mass market cruise line it’s as niche a market as you can possibly get. -

Around May 1st, maybe a few days either side. -
There’s a chance that it might lead to that, yes. But it’s equally likely that it won’t.

Yeshiva Week 2024 Cruises Check Your Dates

You kind of asked for that, sailing in August. -
Again, it does NOT mean abandon ship.

It doesn’t mean abandon ship.

Yeshiva Week 2024 Cruises Check Your Dates
gumshoe958 replied to crazyfrazee's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Because some schools have their break from the 11th-21st and some have theirs from the 18th-28th. -
There are USB ports and a US & European outlet by the bed in my solo cabin on 3L, but I suspect they were there before.
-
I couldn’t see any that were obviously out of order.
