Biker19 Posted May 7, 2017 #1704 Share Posted May 7, 2017 According to this schedule there are only a couple of ships in Asia left without the charge. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbillcruising Posted May 7, 2017 #1707 Share Posted May 7, 2017 or pay RCI prices and say no to all the upsell offers.;) The problem is that there is less and less value in paying that price. Cruising used to be the best bang for your buck vacation... no more... its sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted May 7, 2017 #1708 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Strange. I said the same thing in a forum recently about land based vacations no longer being a good value, mentioning the fact that cruise vacations are once again the best bang for the buck vacations we can find, and using that as explanation for why we are returning to cruise vacations starting this year.

I love cruising and will continue to cruise but basically your cruise fare includes room and board, most everything else is extra. Much different than when we began cruising years ago.

bUU Posted May 7, 2017 #1710 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The prices for the land based vacations we've been taking have gone up remarkably over the last five years especially. It's no longer as good of a value for us as cruising. This message may have been entered using voice recognition. Please excuse any typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizergal70 Posted May 7, 2017 #1713 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Another reason to ask one's self whether one is looking for a cruise to fit one's own preferences on a cruise line that is designed to perfectly fit the preferences of others. And full disclosure, I recently did. I'm going into that cruise with a clear understanding that I booked the cruise substantially designed for others, and that my decision to cruise on that cruise line regardless is a decision to accept that and enjoy the cruise for the specific reasons I booked it (which, in this case, included cost). Thanks for being so reasonable. I agree with you. I just booked my first RCL cruise and I'll use my OBC to get room service. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUU Posted May 8, 2017 #1715 Share Posted May 8, 2017 It still is if you look for deals and keep other expenses reasonable.Precisely. We don't have money to just casually throw around. While we don't have a hard-and-fast budget for vacations, since it is mostly based on our annual bonuses, if any, we do pull together pretty detailed budgets for each vacation. Comparing cruise fare, automatic gratuities, and transportation to/from the port for this 7-night cruise we're taking next to the cost of hotel, transportation, and meals for a 5-night road trip we're planning on taking next year, they're about the same. And with the cruise we get two extra nights, and more exotic attractions to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Diva Posted May 11, 2017 #1716 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Todaÿ on the Jewel we have an early arrival in Santorini so we ordered breakfast between 6am and 6:30. It's now 6:55am and no breakfast. I guess the service charge means nothing about service. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted May 11, 2017 #1722 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I emailed Bayley.. Most likely 5 minutes of my life I will never get back, but I felt better. Bayley doesn't work for Royal any more. He is now with Celebrity...it probably didn't go through or they deleted it. You'd do better to email: resolutions@rccl.com or marketing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
