not-enough-cruising

Just a simple D1 balcony is outrageous at $5k for 2 people, with D+ discount

Actually 3 decks(9-11) have the IV ocean view rooms for a total of 497 rooms. (908 traditional OV balconies) Additionally there are inward facing IV rooms as well 196 cabins (214 traditional inward facing balcony cabins)

Cigar lounges are gone, fleet-wide

again, you completely miss the point of precedent. that's ok, post being, Royal will not be charging for waterslides onboard

No other lines have I fly or Northstar Yes they charge for slides on land Name a line that changes for slides on board their ships Do you even understand the meaning of the term precedent??

WRONG, everyone else being clothed IS the precedent.

Silly comment with no basis in precedent.

And will they have a symposium directed at every nationality onboard or just the Americans?

Absolutely not, retailers on the islands do not report anything about the sale to the states. IF you give the island retailer your room number, they may report it to the ship, that is the extent of their reporting obligation.

Because CBP says they are.....................period

SEC filings do not support your statement, and annual trends are showing an upward trajectory of profit per guest, even when the numbers are normalized for Covid related variances.

Just more excuses; very very sad.

If you fill the berths, the rest of the revenue will take care of itself

I think you have tremendously under estimated how this demographic spends their money and uses credit. This ship will sail at 100%+ for years, no problems

However, you knew it was YOUR responsibility to read the “ledger”, and abide by the guidelines within. If you chose not to read the PDF version, did your employer extend the deadlines for you? Were you excused from a violation of a new policy because you didn’t read it? The argument is just nonsense. Personal responsibility is rapidly disappearing in this country, and many on this thread are defending it.

A sign would be of absolutely ZERO benefit. There are multiple nationalities on board with multiple reporting standards and expectations. This is VERY simply a matter of personal responsibility. With respect to your lawsuit comment, i think one would be hard pressed to find a successful one that fits the bill here.

Thanks @Biker19 i had not known about the April '23 policy, I should retract my statement There have ben several posts lately however intimating that passengers testing positive were kinda out of luck, could have been overly dramatic posts however.

correct

Buying on the island makes it very easy to avoid the purchase being reported, and avoid the declaration.

Only purchases over a value surpassed by federal guidelines are reported.

You can no longer make a Covid claim with Royal if you can’t board. That's between you and your insurance company.

It wasn’t obvious at all that you were in the area. How long were you in the hot tub?

Is it really underhanded? Shouldn’t it be the responsibility of the purchaser to know the rules of their country? Every different nationality on the ship has different rules when it comes to taxes and their reporting. Should the retail staff on board be fluent in all of them?

Nothing new here, large purchases have ALWAYS been reported to CBP, it’s a federal law. I truly question the over dramatization of the above narrative.

I have no issues with removing items from an unused chair myself
