chef_christoph Posted April 20, 2010 Author #26 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Insist that your next dog must be allowed in the Concierge Lounge or you will be looking for another cruiseline. I was told that due to recent changes to the C&A program, the free Happy Hour Alpo has been discontinued. However, a secondary location has been made available where we can find Alpo at a reduced rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a secondary location has been made available where we can find Alpo at a reduced rate. Not only is it Alpo at a reduced rate - it is only dry Alpo, not at all like the canned Alpo served in the Concierge lounge. Nor do they put the dog treats on the bed at night, unless you are in a GS or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_christoph Posted April 20, 2010 Author #28 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, maybe not. But your pony also doesn't participate in revenue generating activities like the bar, bingo, art auctions, spa treatments and since there is no horse racing - the casino. Therefore, while your pony may eat less, it also doesn't produce as much revenue. And don't forget, they have to hire an extra person for the free "poop patrol" (don't forget, you really should tip them). You are making unfounded assumptions about what my pony does on board. I'll have you know we have taken advantage of the Port-day specials in the spa on several occasions. They have great deals on the honey and oatmeal facials...and since my pony insists on licking the oatmeal off, we should really get an additional discount because there isn't as much work for the spa employees. PLUS, you will find us in the Schooner bar most nights performing together. That's free entertainment for the other guests.

Cruzin-K Posted April 20, 2010 #29 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Can we bring our own dog food, or will we have to buy it on board? :confused: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Henry on CC Posted April 20, 2010 #30 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Scott, I am afraid that I can tell you why Royal Caribbean killed your dog. It was a St. Bernard, wasn't it? And he was carrying smuggled booze in that cask under his neck, wasn't he? And he was caught, right? They tell you that they reserve the right to destroy confiscated booze, AND the container it is smuggled in. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :( ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_christoph Posted April 20, 2010 Author #31 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Can we bring our own dog food, or will we have to buy it on board? :confused: :D All outside dog food is not allowed. You have to buy it one bowl at a time at the closest bar. If you want to enjoy the dog food in your own room, you will have to take it from the bar back to your stateroom. Don't forget about the 15% gratuity that is added to all dog food orders automatically. I heard that if you tip the dog food bartender well the first day, you'll get better dog food and the occasional free bowl during the rest of the cruise. Can someone confirm that for me?

Wee call ourselves, "Hull and Oats" ROTHFLOL!!!! Can we bring our own dog food, or will we have to buy it on board? :confused: :D You have to buy it on board - however, if you put the food into plastic baggies you might be able to smuggle it on board. Just remember, if you get caught you will have to go to the naughty room. Scott, I am afraid that I can tell you why Royal Caribbean killed your dog. It was a St. Bernard, wasn't it?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :( ;) You can blame all these restrictive policies on those spring break cruisers. I mean, come on, who isn't going to notice all those mouthwash bottles that have been filled with alpo? Luckily, they only confiscated my St. Bernard and I got him back at the end of the cruise. Next time I'm going to try one of those Alpo-runners I've been reading about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, sure, the once-a-day dog treats are nice, but the concierge access was the best part of this, now defunct, promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted April 20, 2010 #37 Share Posted April 20, 2010 If you are eating in the speciality resturant, your dog should be at least 12 years old - otherwise they are too young and will bother others looking for a romantic dinner. Did you know that if your dog is the 3rd passenger in the cabin they will have to pay more than you! :D Ah but dont forget that every dog year is equivalent to 7 for a human so it could be a case of age discrimination but at least they might get an over 55 discount!

FireIce0010 Posted April 20, 2010 #38 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Don't worry, we'll stick to the specialty restaurants. From all I have read about the food quality in the MDR, it doesn't sound like the food in there is even fit for him.:D:D Yes make sure that your dog orders the Chops filet. You know that one that isn't USDA Prime but more like shoe leather according to the Carnival riders.;) Edited April 20, 2010 by FireIce0010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrea63 Posted April 20, 2010 #42 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Is the dog the one reserving all those pool chairs? No, it is the HOG that is taking up space on all those pool chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul65 Posted April 20, 2010 #43 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, I had a completely different experience. Royal Caribbean saved my dog's life. In fact, they've saved my dog's life on every one of the 273 cruises I've taken. It must have been your fault that your dog died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoputt.plusone Posted April 20, 2010 #47 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I believe that I read somewhere that puppies are not allowed in either the pool or hot tub. Not even with doggie diapers. The minimum age for all pools would be 3 years. :p:D Maybe RCI could name one of their future ships Canine of the Seas.

Cruisin' Bud Posted April 20, 2010 #50 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Make sure your dog is current on rabies vaccination..Wouldn't want him to bite someone, and have an epidemic of rabid passengers at sea.! Hey!..... that sounds like a GREAT plot for the next Stephen King novel!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
