Some people are difficult to ignore like the man dressed as a rabbit on Silhouette.

No enforcement of rules on SIL. People wore shorts on every night including Chic night. This was for the just completed 10 day followed by 4 days cruise.

Results count! RCL is most interested in their shareholders and they seem pleased as the share price increases.

I believe that the passengers who pay the price to use Retreat (the Suite passengers)are most responsible for the increasing costs. Demand = price increases.

Jason Liberty reported last night on CNBC that onboard spending is up 30% and that the consumer is healthy. People are booking at what some find are high prices and we can expect higher prices as people continue to cruise. As I've said before RCL doesn't care who's in the cabin only that the ship sails full. Complaints about prices are useless until their results indicate that the price of the cruise means less than full ships. Pricing is based on demand! High demand and onboard spending lead to higher costs.

I also have seen dogs in several ports including Miami and Port Everglades. IMHO: Not worth the risk!

I pray that your sister returns to good health. Best wishes to you and your sister.

They might have defined their markets and concentrate advertising. Lots of commercials for Celebrity on TV in Boca.

They'd build it if it meant higher profits! They really don't care who occupies a cabin, they just care that it's occupied.

The choice is yours. You can agree and pay the additional charges or you can chose to boycott Celebrity. They will continue to charge as long as they profit from the charges. Passengers usually don't see themselves as the part of the problem, but they are.

You are correct!

As I understand it Suites still need to pay for a drink and internet package and now Aqua Class has a non included option. So Zeniths staying in suites pay double for the drinks and internet and below don't. So I guess your statement is correct.

I spoke with the new President when I saw her. Not a drinker so I didn't write. My problem with the double charge in Aqua Class has been resolved to my delight.

If you are in a suite you still pay for drinks as a part of your fare even though you as a Zenith receive the Premium drink package as a benefit. They removed this double billing in Aqua Class if you are a Zenith. I'm so glad that I drink only sugar free, non alcohol drinks.

I'd keep an eye on this for a price reduction as you get closer to the sail date. Supply and demand rule!

There are strong future sales on all suites. Celebrity would be fools if they didn't get what the market dictates. Prices will only be lowered when demand comes down.

The OP asked a hypothetical question. My guess is that they are considering Aqua Class and wanted to know how it was valued. I could be wrong in my guess.

To focus on the original question posed by the OP. It would depend on the menu. I would pay from $0 to $5.00 per person.

One of the best!

Capt. George is on vacation, or will be on vacation shortly. What is the name of the Captain on the ship? Have a great cruise.

True for some lines. I received my printed tags for Oceania about two weeks prior to my November cruise on Vista.

Am also on this cruise and agree with the poster. Most passengers are quite friendly, but there are also chair hogs in the heated loungers.

I believe that in planning for a flight you should consider the unexpected.

The production shows will be the same. The entertainers may be different dependent on their contracts. The highlights should be the ports for your cruises. They most certainly aren't boring. You will most certainly get to know the officers and crew and that's a plus. The menus are on a 14 day rotation. They always start with menu #1 so you will have repeat meals. To break away from menus you can always go the the OV Cafe or book a specialty restaurant.

I have suggested to Celebrity that they monitor social media like this so that they could give an official response to rumors. This was not the policy on Equinox about 3 weeks ago. I was never asked about taking pool towels or told that I would be charged if I failed to return them them.
