floridalover5623 Posted June 3, 2018 #76 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Off the Grand Princess few weeks ago, agree no charge for reg room service items. Don’t blame them for delivery charge on Pizza. One problem I see on all lines is folks waste lot of food, and it ends yup thrown out. Cruise fares would level out I bet if folks take from buffet or order that they think here going to eat. Cost is cost and affect bottom line. Sent from my iPhone using Forums If you saw what is thrown away by Princess every night at the buffet line, it would make you sick. Stick around till closing time & ask them sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted June 3, 2018 #77 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This was also on Royal in December. Posters here didn't seem to believe me that there were room services items with charges. I was on the Royal for TA, ordered Room Service every day for both breakfast and lunch no charge all, charges are for things they have always charged for i.e., liquor and snacks to go with it...

There were no previous charges for snacks. Previously, only an entire pizza (and drink orders) had a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make em all pay for everything. I'm subsidizing all the people who abuse room service and we have never used it one time. Unless a person is in a handicapped room there's no reason that they can't get up & get there own food & drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB123 Posted June 3, 2018 #80 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Does anyone know if the new room service menu is on the Star yet? I'm impressed. There's still a LOT of items that are no extra charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a person is in a handicapped room there's no reason that they can't get up & get there own food & drink. Thank you for the intention. There are mobility challenged people who do not require an HA room, but I do understand the thought. And as one with a family member who does require an HA room, you can appreciate that she'd sometimes rather choose her own food from the room service menu rather than asking me to make a run to the buffet line for her.

Unless a person is in a handicapped room there's no reason that they can't get up & get there own food & drink. Fortunately you don’t get to decide the reasons that are acceptable for accessing room service. In fact, I suspect there are many really good reasons other than being in a handicapped room for people taking advantage of the room service option. I just don’t think it is any of my business. I have never thought I was subsidizing people who take advantage of free services that I don’t access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki'smommy Posted June 3, 2018 #84 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The only place that I can cite where people who use it are subsidizing those who don't is the casino. And even there, use of the casino can result in some unbelievable cruise fares--far lower than anything I've ever been able to book. The converse--subsidizing if you don't use something--could be argued all over the ship on most lines. A prime example is the kid programming. Most families who use that space and program are paying the 3rd person rate for the kids, that rate likely doesn't cover the cost of running the program. If you want to carry this to the extreme, they could charge for admission to the theatre so those who don't enjoy the production shows on Princess do not have to subsidize those who do. The list could go on and on. And frankly, if I had to pay on a "pay as you use" system for everything on board, it is possible that I wouldn't cruise. I like the "almost all inclusive" on a cruise ship. Yes, I could happily live without room service, without a kid program, and without a casino. But I happen to like the pools, some of the entertainment, the fitness center, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a person is in a handicapped room there's no reason that they can't get up & get there own food & drink. We are all paying extra for the extra security people required at embarkation to search your luggage and confiscate the gallons of booze that you insist on smuggling on board. We are all paying extra gratuities for helpful crew members because you insist that the automatic gratuities be removed from your account, as you do not believe in tipping and refuse to do so. We are all paying extra for the crew members who need to track you down and ask you to attend muster drill because you refuse to attend muster drill. :mad: Do you REALLY want to provoke a big smackdown about room service ??

floridalover5623 Posted June 3, 2018 #86 Share Posted June 3, 2018 A kid program is the one most important free thing on the ship ! Just think about all those darlings running around all day looking for something to do. LOL :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL :D I would think you would be upset by this. Why should some pay for the services used by others? If all passengers were not subsidising on-board day care, and the actual users had to pay the full price, there would probably be far fewer kids on board.

voljeep Posted June 3, 2018 #93 Share Posted June 3, 2018 the last 1st run movies we've seen in a theatre are - in no particular order... Cars Frozen Tangled so no as far as paying in the room - just not that important to us - especially on a cruise...we use the room for sleeping, showering...not as an entertainment center but people who do multiple cruises a year, sure, why not?

Gatormomma Posted June 3, 2018 #94 Share Posted June 3, 2018 hang your checked breakfast menu on your door the night before...no charge for most items including coffee which is almost undrinkable and we stopped ordering it... We get room service every morning! My favorite indulgence of cruising. But always Oder tea along with coffee...water used to delete the horrible coffee!!
