    Take a look next time; recently someone posted a picture of their receipt on board.
  2. not-enough-cruising
    It is printed in pretty plain language at the bottom of your $0 diamond voucher that gratuity on this drink has been covered by the voucher.
  3. not-enough-cruising
    18% is already added to the drink, no one is being stiffed
  4. not-enough-cruising
    Agreed I guess the point I’m trying to make is to all those that feel this is a made up money grab. The fee is indeed “lawful”. As with many thing “Royal C/S” based, it certainly could be handled better.
  5. not-enough-cruising
    Understood and agree however, line 9 in the conditions of carriage states passenger agrees to pay all fines levied against the cruise line from governmental agencies for non completion of voyage. Granted, Royal is delinquent in delivering a “receipt” but the charge is valid.
  6. not-enough-cruising
    It is in your Cruz contract. If you leave the ship early, the cruise line is assessed a fine and the fine just passed on to the passenger

    "big time" is relative. I received an updated invoice from my TA for a March Odyssey sailing that stops at PDCC, the new tax amounted to less than $30 total for the two of us.
  8. not-enough-cruising
    Preach brother!!
  9. not-enough-cruising
    50 plus cruises; have never tipped porters, have never had a bag not show at my room. Yes, yours was a fluke.
  10. not-enough-cruising
    No, bartenders and cabin attendants are tipped positions. Union labor making $70 and up per hour plus full benefits is NOT a tipped position.
  11. not-enough-cruising
    They had a pretty nice wine package prior to that for one.
  12. not-enough-cruising
    TSA pre-check; yes
  13. not-enough-cruising
    Thank You Very interesting
  14. not-enough-cruising
    Just playing devils advocate. My last 2 PC cruises, we caught the 9:55 flight from MCO; with no sweat at all
  15. not-enough-cruising
    I can’t remember a cruise where I saw many people “hammered”. Folks partaking in drink and having a good time? Yes. “Hammered?” No, not often. I guess it depends on your definition of hammered.
  16. not-enough-cruising
    There are fines for leaving mid journey. It is well documented am this and other travel blogs that these fees can, and often are, passed on to the passenger. It would be interesting to see if this fine is covered in the carriage contract.
  17. not-enough-cruising
    Valid argument
  18. not-enough-cruising
    I agree there should be some receipt or paperwork, but in the end the fee is valid. A dispute may facilitate getting documentation; I’ll agree on that count.
  19. not-enough-cruising
    I’ve been cruising Royal since 1993; they had drink packages then, albeit different styles than currently offered.
  20. not-enough-cruising
    It’s a valid charge; disputing it would be fraudulent
  21. not-enough-cruising
    Did they offer any loyalty status reciprocity? Sorry if this was asked and answered
  22. not-enough-cruising
    About $20 million between Liberty and Bailey alone
  23. not-enough-cruising
    Here is an example of how NCL is capitalizing on the adults only experience. https://cruiseradio.net/vibe-beach-club-norwegian-cruise-line/
  24. not-enough-cruising
    Other cruise lines are already charging for their version of the solarium. THAT Is the natural progression. Once one line is the test case that proves people will pay; others follow.
  25. not-enough-cruising
    I would have, and I bet many others also would have.
