Onboard Announcements Poll

[HesterMofet]

There was a thread discussing the announcement that RCI is going "announcement free" including the Captain's noon announcement. Let's show RCI how we feel!

Well...there's my 1 vote.

[Suzcruz57]

Excellent idea!!:)

NO announcements, unless there's an emergency. If I want to play Bingo, I'll FIND the game!

My answer is not up there. NO ANNOUNCEMENTS. I realize some people enjoy them. There are some people who do have sensory issues, though. The announcements do affect their hearing and scare them. Anything they need to know is in writing.

I enjoy the Captains announcements...however hate when I have to open my cabin door to hear them...I'd like the option of being able to turn that dial and hear them in cabin when I want to.

Just like Celebrity! They have been doing the "once a day" announcements for years and it's really nice.:)

 

I think the two RCI companies are finally learning from each other.

 

Enjoy!

Agree. :)

Add another vote for the choice that's not there - NO ANNOUNCEMENTS.

 

You probably want to re-do the poll to remove the bias. ;)

Im on my phone and cant see the poll but I an the minority, I love to hear the announcements. When we are in our cabin and someone starts talking on the speaker, I run to my door and open it so I can hear whats going on.

 

Lets indicate how old we are, those that are pro announcements and those that are con announcements. Im 47 and love them.

I agree. I just wish there were an optional way to hear those in one's cabin.

We can read. Unless there is an emergency, we see no need for public announcements. Much of the time it's so distorted we can't understand it anyway.

I agree. I hate running to open the door to see if it is something that I want to listen to or not.

My personal opinion, Captain once a day, Cruise Director 3 a day, and emergencies. No Bingo or art auctions.

[At Sea 4Ever]

I love all the announcements! Especially the Captains!

I agree!

I'm thrilled that RCI finally listened and stopped the constant announcements. However, I did always enjoy the captain's noon announcement. That is, when I could hear it. Many passengers would talk loudly during the noon announcement. At times, I wasn't near a speaker or the acoustics were poor.

 

I'm fine with having the captain's announcement recorded and available on the in cabin TV. I can listen to it at my convenience.

This.

 

I find that the Captain and Cruise Director announcements can help set a tone for the cruise. The other stuff just feels like advertising.

 

It also means no more "Bing Bong". :(

[Justmekaren918]

Captain and CD daily announcement should continue.

[sleepless]

Truthfully, after 5 cruises, I can honestly say that I have never been bothered by announcements. In fact, I really don't remember hearing many of them. So, my vote is that they don't bother me one way or another.

[TubbyMrT]

No announcements is missing from the choices. That would be my choice as I can never understand what they are saying anyway. It just amounts to noise.

Maybe if you did understand what was being said you would see the value in it... maybe.
