Just off Imagination of the Seas - NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Funbobby68]

Love the comment about the kids names

[mslaabs]

Just back from the Imagination of the Seas and it was the absolute worst cruise of my life. I will never ever ever ever sail on Royal Caribbean again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I usually don't read complaint threads, but when I saw the title I had to click. I thought "this person can't even get the name of the ship right, and they want to complain" :eek:. Thanks for the laugh :D:D

[wildcatt99]

Thank you for the much needed laugh. We need more like you on here. I hope to have the pleasure of cruising with you one day.

[dacsmom]

Loved it, thanks for the laugh.

[LuCruise]

Took me a bit...then as reading further, I see that you're thankfully joking. Thanks for the laugh.

[DevonianCruiser]

Ha ha brilliant post, well done :)

 

However a refund isn't enough - RC should really pay off your mortgage, kids school fees (for not having the decency to ask their names) and maybe upgrade your car :D:D

[brillohead]

Was the ice in your drink too cold?

 

Because I'm sailing in a week and I read a review once about the ice being too cold so I'm wondering what I should do in advance to be prepared for having a horrid cruise due to unacceptable ice conditions????

[transam84]

Awesome!!! This is fabulous, thanks for the smile. The best is that although obviously a gross exaggeration it is not far from truth regarding how crazy picky some people get. I read a post once in which the person complained there was a french fry on the balcony all week. Really?!? OMG a real French fry! How terrible! Any why I wondered didn't he/she pick it up and throw it out. :eek::eek:

[bess128]

Fantastic, made me chuckle :):)

[toxicfairy]

I'm with you! Last cruise they wanted me to do my business in a toilet that had been used by...i can barely say it....past cruisers! Can you imagine spending all that money and having to pee in a USED toilet!

Just back from the Imagination of the Seas and it was the absolute worst cruise of my life. I will never ever ever ever sail on Royal Caribbean again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here are some of the details of my terrible ordeal.

 

EMBARKATION

 

When we arrived at the port there was a line to get on the ship. I couldn't believe that we had to stand in line. You would think Royal Caribbean would have figured out how to get everyone on the ship without having a line. Once we got to the desk they asked to see my photo ID. I told them that I had already shown it to the people at the airport, but they were so rude as to insist I present it again. Royal Caribbean really needs to get their act together on this. It's unreasonable to make people show their ID all the time.

 

CABIN

 

When we finally did make it to our cabin it was an absolute pig sty!!! The first thing that I noticed was that there was a piece of lint on the comforter. I've stayed in the best 5 star hotels all over the world I have never seen such a travesty as this. Just the thought of sleeping in a bed that had a piece of lint on the comforter was making me sick so I picked up the phone to call the steward. Instead of coming right to my room, it took him 3 minutes to get there. This level of service is just unacceptable! I told him about the lint and he wanted to merely remove the lint. I told him that the whole comforter needed to be replaced immediately. He left and came back with a new one but we had to wait for him for 7 minutes. I also noticed that there was some dust on the back of the TV. The refrigerator was too small to hold the 4 cases of beer that I snuck on board so I called and asked if they could bring another one up. They said that there could only be 1 per stateroom. This is the dumbest policy I ever heard. I told them that I would be writing a letter to the CEO of Royal Caribbean about this. There were multiple other things wrong with the room as well including the toliet paper not being the same as the one we use at home. When I went on the balcony to check it out, it was really windy out there. I called down to Guest Services to complain and they tried to make me beleive that they no control over it. They said that there was nothing they could do to fix it.

 

DINING

 

Royal Caribbean has the worst food! In the main dining room, the Chateaubriand should have been served at a temperature of 170 degrees, but it was clearly 172 or 173. The lobster tails were so bad that I had real issues even finishing the 4th one. But, the worst part was the service we received in the dining room. Our waiter did not even bother to ask the names of our children even though we told them that our kids were at home. One night after my wife ordered the beef wellington, but changed her mind after ordering. Our waiter didn't even check with my wife to see if she had changed her mind and instead just brought out the beef wellington. It's not unreasonable for people to change their mind after ordering. The waiter should have checked with my wife and he would have known that she really wanted the pork medallions. That's the main reason we removed the auto-tip from our account. The buffet was even worse than the dining room. For breakfast they didn't have super crunch berries with marshallows which is my wife's favorite cereal. The food for lunch was so terrible it was like being forced to eat at Outback. My sister-in-law's friend's cousin's father-in-law also said the food on Royal Caribbean sucks!

 

 

I would like the address of Royal Caribbean CEO so that I can write for a full refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your a man with way too much extra time on his hands. Go find some thing useful to do.

[Carolla5501]

We need a love button. Great post

Apparently he did find something useful. He entertained most of us and allowed you to act superior LOL

And you not only took the time to read it and post to it. You must not have anything else to do.

[mightypanzer25]

I find your lack of drink package complaints disturbing. 😜

[NightOne]

Well I'm certainly crossing THAT ship off my list. Thanks. :D

 

 

Yup, cannot recommend it. LOL

 

Glad everyone is getting a good chuckle. That was my intent 11 years ago just as it was today. :)

[corky441]

Absolutely hilarious :D

[Robinola]

I sailed that ship last year. My steward made me TWO frog towels that week and not ONE monkey. I cried for THREE weeks when I got home.

[publicpersona]

You left out the part about the view from the balcony overlooking a parking lot and a terminal building.

[interstate1963]

What a douche bag

Even better than the laughter provided by the OP is the lack of it exhibited by some others on this thread! A little humor and levity are good for our souls people!
