Tipping prices go up and service goes down. Something is wrong with this picture!

Yes I’m not expecting most of the ship like 40 years ago. We have done enough cruises to know things have changed but that is nice to hear lots of people on your cruise dressed up.

😂

Can you tell us what kind of theme nights you had? Was it just food or also dress for the occasion? Also I’m guessing they’ve been very strict about not doing substitutions?

It’s hard to have participation if they do not do it on a regular basis. How does one even know what the themes are of the week? It’s hard to pack if you don’t know.

I’m hoping someone on our ship wants to dress up with us. 😔

Can someone please tell me what “The Key” is all about? I have seen several posts about people mentioning it but I have no idea what they are talking about.

Someone just told me they are on voyager right now and doing “white night” tonight. Maybe they are starting it back up or it depends on where they are sailing. 🤷‍♀️

😔

I figured as much but I would rather join in on the night chosen then stand out on one not chosen. 😉 I know less and less people are not choosing to dress up. It is a lot to pack and many flights only allow 40lb luggage anymore. Thanks

Thank you….we know many ships aren’t doing formal nights anymore so weren’t sure since Covid if that had changed on this ship. One of our kids went on a Celebrity ship October 2022 and they didn’t have any.

We are on an upcoming 7 day voyager cruise in March and are wondering how many formal night they have if any. Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and am hoping they have a formal night. 2023-RC/Voyager 2020- HAL/Zuiderdam 2019- RC/Harmony 2018- Carnival/Glory 2015- Celebrity/Constellation 2014- RC/Navigator 2012- Celebrity/Summit 2010- Carnival/Valor 2006-RC/Explorer 2001-HAL/Zaandam 1983-NCL/MS Southward

I agree that the prices have definitely gone up significantly since Covid restrictions let up this year. Some of its to be expected with fuel prices and inflation but I have felt it has been over the top personally. It does make it difficult for some. I’d be curious to hear what you think of MSC. It’s definitely not RCI but maybe you will love it just as much. Making financial cuts is hard. We started cruising 40 years ago so things have really changed in that amount of time and it’s been hard to change our way of thinking for sure. Food is an area that has really changed for us and not for the better. We don’t like to have to pay for better food that once was included in our cruise fare. We set sail in 5 1/2 weeks and aren’t doing the cruise we wanted to on Royal Caribbean but are doing a more affordable one so hopefully it’s all good. I am all about the sun as we live where there is winter so as long as that shines I’m going to make the best of everything else. Enjoy your cruise.

We are 5 weeks out from our Voyager cruise and the beverage discount is the same as yours currently and many excursions are sold out. Discounts disappear when that happens of course.
