not-enough-cruising

I wonder if your drink package will work here like on PDCC

3 cruises from 2 different embarkation points thus far in 2024, have yet to have anyone care what my assigned arrival time was.

You can purchase refreshment package a few days into the cruise but will have to buy it for the remaining days; no, everyone in the cabin is not required to purchase.

You paid for "X" days on a ship, nothing more; stop trying to create a financial loss where none exists. Using your faulty reasoning, Royal should charge you a "fuel surcharge" because they are going to burn much more fuel on your journey than they had originally budgeted for.

I still don't understand why you feel you are owed a reduction in price, it is an unrealistic expectation

Purchase with the mobile APP also works onboard

Why would they offer you a reduced cruise rate? I can’t imagine what type of upgrade you may be talking about.

All true about GT; however if you wanted a quiet day on the beach with an open bar and your drink package; Labadee is better. Again, it all depends on what one is looking for.

It all depends what you are looking for

Hardly

Has been a recognized abbreviation for some years now

Only in designated areas, there are “smoking benches” scattered here and there away from other people

This post is about the Wind Jammer specifically

No special suite treatment at PDCC

Perfect solution

You can have turn down service if you want, just tell your stateroom attendant that you want evening service instead of morning service; unless you are in a suite you only get one or the other. Chocolates have been gone for nearly a decade, I would guess. I have several dozen hotel nights a year due to business travel, and haven't had daily service for years; it is usually every 2-3 days, or upon request.

2 weeks ago, Odyssey had milk in cartons

If the phone does not have an active SIM card (as it seems to indicate in the OP) , WiFi calling will not work

Past the pub on your way to the theater, on your right, it’s called “Unboxed” Excellent selection

I see absolutely no correlation between towel policies and chair hogs

More Royal inconsistencies

I assume so; I can’t say, I never email them, any correspondence that is ever needed is handled by my travel agent.

I assume he meant CS at Royal, not the ship directly

Same can be said for 85% of the topics covered here, doesn't make it any less enjoyable to discuss the pros and cons, and share ideas with fellow cruisers. The OP's question was answered directly in the first few posts, everything else is gravy

+1 It is the uphill trek to get on the ship that keeps me from carrying on bags. Count me among the group that gets to the ship relatively early (hands bags off to porter), and is usually unpacked with empty bags stowed under the bed by 1500 at the latest.
