Ned49 Posted August 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2017 i was just on Royal Caribbean FB page and someone was complaining that you now have to pay $10 to see the Ice Show on Voyager of the seas. Has anyone else heard this? Not good if it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sparky74 Posted August 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I hope this isn't the case. RCI is becoming the cruise line of extra charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted August 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah, I heard that a couple of days ago. Surprising, but I wonder if it is related to being in Asia? Seems they discriminate and like to charge even more than normal up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a thread on the RCI Board and several people have suggested that the charge might only be implemented for sailings in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haoie Posted August 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Even then, what a gip! Taking advantage of newbies, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joandian Posted August 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I love Royal Caribbean but their penny pinching is getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zowie57 Posted August 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2017 i was just on Royal Caribbean FB page and someone was complaining that you now have to pay $10 to see the Ice Show on Voyager of the seas. Has anyone else heard this? Not good if it is true. We cruised on Voyager from Sydney to Singapore in April and I can confirm the ice shows were free of charge. The shows were very popular and many people rated them as the highlight of the entertainment on board. There were 2 separate shows on our cruise and passengers were invited on a roster system based on their cabin number and deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else heard this? Not good if it is true. I've reached out to Royal's PR team, and I'm told the $10 charge is only on Voyager of the Seas and only when it's sailing in China. Hope this clears up some of the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this clears up some of the confusion. Thank you for that information, we leave Singapore for Freemantle in Oct. so assume there won't be a charge for the ice show. I wonder why they charge in China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted August 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It could be related to replacing revenue streams. I think I read that the ships out of China had much lower bar receipts compared to boats out of some other places (looking at you Kiwis. :D:D ) If this is the case, the charge for the ice show could be a different element of the business plan.

But conversely, they have massively higher casino receipts. High profits on both sectors so I don't believe that's part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
