Massive Savings Definition Explained for Dummies

Cruise Ship Guests

30%-40% lower fares than what they have booked or are looking at now

Miami Accountant's

Not RAISING the current fare structure.

simole…

Sorry, just another marketing gimmick to appear to provide another benefit..

rubbish…

like when RC leaked they were going to charge for pizza at Sorrento’s, then the CEO himself, stated…no way….

yet another planned marketing gimmick.

the hard working folks on the front line ships deserve some real leadership from Miami.

Available, for booking, act fast…here’s a Grand Suite Offering for the initial 7 night sail…

Yet another RC offering I’ll miss..

Tipping a personal choice no right answer here..

The ship staff that serves, cooks, and cleans works very very hard…

I’m all in for raising the level and extra cash for extra service….

BUT

After posting a BILLION dollar profit, they then do this to the guests who are already paying much higher fares  other purchases 

Covid debt or not…

TOTAL Corporate  CREED..

WHAT IS YOUR Bonus THIS YEAR Mr Liberty

The HARD working staff is deserving of every penny….

BUT I find it interesting after posting a BILLON dollars in profit, they give the staff a raise by raising what the guests already pay…

Opine of old man TA and PC member..

Pure corporate creed….Covid debt or not..

My client on Jewel is a close friend and neighbor, they were LOCKED OUT, no access the entire cruise per his email to me…his friend and TA,,

Just received an email from one of my clients very frustrated that as a Diamond, he was totally LOCKED out of Diamond Lounge on just completed Jewel sail, Cape Liberty to Quebec City..

Larger ships ….MSC, Mein Shief, and NCL were mooring closer to Palma and Valencia that’s us….It has nothing to do with the Captain, it is what RC Port Operations in Miami books and pays for,

In three of our current ports we have docked as far as you can get away from the city, with OPEN berths closer in..

Coincidence or just another accountant cutback to save money,,

Just a simple question..

Well Mr Liberty, can we get chips back in the Park Cafe, even at one bag per person per meal..

just a question…

I believe they will NOT announce any changes until we are in the ship, next week…

OR

Most will cancel…..

We were on Liberty last month scheduled for Bermuda then changed to Canada due to hurricane, a week before the sail..

The ship was fully booked and sailed 1/2 full due to cancellations and Full Refunds..

The accountants strike again…..yet another way to get your money way before you sail..

Gotta give the Miami accounting Kabal, another A for the latest way of getting more money from its guests.

This will make the pool chair hogs putting forth extra effort to secure their free spots.

Sad sad sad from the WOW days of a special cruise vacation, a lot different than our first sail in 1997….and almost 100 later, well it’s DIFFERENT.

Ok, thanks, but …..

The ship has not had it’s first revenue sail….

No press release, No Loyal to Royal Site Announcement, Nothing on the  RC Blog…..

As they say very interesting….

I have the perception …bookings are down and they need to up deposit revenue…

But I’m just an old cynical, TA and PC member, who’s old eyes have been a lot over the decades..

Keep Cruising all..…

Just another bait and switch to get more money…

look here $2.00 for a cookie plus 20% tip, but don’t look here as we removed gratitudes and OBC from ALL inclusive package, which is now basic drinks and WiFi, plus we raising the price to provide you with more options…

RUBBISH…

It’s all about the demand for, the ship and the sail…

I’m thinking of last minute, Oct Quantum, 17 night Honolulu to Brisbane, Guarantee Ocean BALCONY for $2,424 for two…Fly home to LAX on a Fuji Airlines for less than 1k each.

The Nickel and Dime Show continues…..

So, how many millions did that cost ?
Maybe you should save used it to provide chips in the Park Cafe….probably a lot less……

Opine, Guest DEAF corporate management in Miami….

Nothing will change until people stop signing up for more cruises. I doubt they even care about the ratings people are giving, all they care about are future bookings. Once those start to drop, maybe they’ll look into why. They are sailing full, there is no incentive to improve the food quality. Plus it drives people to the specialty restaurants, even more profits.

Totally correct…I’m a TA, PC member and was Loyal since 1997 when the MDR was specialty dining each night.

A number of my $200 deposit sails, now cancelled, are my last donation to RC…

Sail Virgin…superior food, and almost of the prior RC clients are moving there also.

Never underestimate the power of accountants and greed….

This is now totally out of hand….

I have had a good run with RC since 1997,,,,

It is unbelievable, no predictable….

The Balcony rental is pure genius...and $5 dollar drinks will really pay dividends when I go platinum in 2145 ...lol

Great idea aa PC members we get 6, 12 per days the most we ever use is 5…7 per day at $5…that will pay our gratituties 

Also, PC perkis towels without check out….I can also run a poolside save chair service…

thanks for the ideas..

So you would pay for pizza, OK, how about this and there is more to come…

The latest idea from the accountants in Miami…..

Come on man !

How about a €1 fee for bathroom access outside of  your stateroom….thought of that yet…

Maybe Toilet Paper surcharge after the first roll….. 

How about a 1 or 3 night towel animal fee…..

rubbish…..
