What are you missing on Royal Caribbean nowdays? What would you bring back?

[LittleJoefromKokomo]

If we could have a wishlist of things gone by, what would you like to have back?

I would love for the midnight buffets and ice sculptures to make a return. It felt so luxurious on our first cruise, Jewel back in 2008 to visit the midnight buffet and marvel at the wonderful ice sculptures and carved watermelons.

Pillow Mints @ turndown service. 😉 

 

[Newcruiser215]

Good, hot food. Lol. 

[dcourt]

The fancy glasses that the drinks were served in even at the pool!!  No cheap plastic glasses.  I love my collection of cocktail glasses! 🙂 

[RKHOOKER]

24 hour decent food options.

Poolside BBQ’s.

Trap shooting off the stern.

I have 8 RC glasses and I make my cocktails at home in them! 

[ONECRUISER]

Hitting Golf Balls and Skeet Shooting off Open Deck. Bring back the Trays for Windjammer. Turn down service, I want my dang pillow mint back!

[crusinpeg]

Classics back on the MDR menu

[George C]

Bring jazz club back to oasis class ships

[RedIguana]

Cabin Service the way it used to be

Escargot and French Onion Soup every night

Good quality proteins in the MDR, no up-charging or pay for an extra tail

Realistically priced beverage packages

Coco Cay when it was an Island paradise and not a waterpark (OK I do like the new pool area)

Specialty restaurants that had outstanding ambience, food, and service for a not crazy price

The crazy good times at the piano in the schooner bar on ships such as Majesty and Sovereign

[neverbeenhere]

Nothing. There line, I'll sail until they break the camel's back.

 

[smokeybandit]

Bring back duck on the MDR menu!

[Vera/Lee]

Just me being on a ship!

[megr1125]

Twice per day room cleaning and the old menus with the always available stuff on them.  Better quality meat without paying an upcharge.  I'll stop now.

>>>Or just turndown service !   Lol

[bonsai3s]

"Clothing optional" on top deck. 

 

* I read Virgin Voyages is bringing this back.

[John Reid]

Richard Spacey and Leigh Xuereb.

Deck parties - day and/or night.

Actual mattresses, not the thickness of an incontinency pad.

The word "yes" when making requests or asking for help.

Being able to bring permitted soda, water, or wine in a checked bag instead of a carry on.

A sensible parking rate at Cape Liberty. I'm just parking a car, not investing in the garage.

And after paying full price, $30.00 per day, being able to park in the garage rather than the dust, mud, rain, snow satellite parking with its usually unpleasant attendants.

Baked goods that taste like and resemble what they are being called.

Passenger courtesy and manners.

Restriction of dogs that are not actual service animals. No animals in the dining room. Service dogs don't ride in perambulators, eat at the dining tables, bark, be allowed to pet and say "oh how cute." All cruise lines and transportation options need to grow a pair and start enforcing the actual ADA policy. Want emotional support? Bring Dr. Phil (and put him on a leash, too).

 

"Cats!" Oh, wait, that's one I'd like to get rid of.🙃

Not that RCI has ever done it but I would like a small area of the WJ open into the late evenings like Celebrity does.

 

Better desserts....I don't care what they look like I want them to taste like homemade !!!

 

Miss the Wonka Pie !!!!

[toxicfairy]

Please don't be mean it's just my opinion...

Actual formal nights. I love getting dressed to the nines and seeing all the beautiful gowns and men in suits and tuxedos. We still do it but it was so much better when everyone did. I would ohhh and ahhh as people came in all fancied up.

Still available. Not every cruise/every ship but some of the piano players have been terrific and created a great time.  There was a terrific piano player on Mariner in May. Schooner bar was packed, and we all had fun. I hope you enjoy the same experience soon.

Printed Cruise Compass everyday in cabin without having to beg for it -- same for robe and slippers and twice a day ice bucket. Yes -- you can still get these items BUT you may have to slip a few Benjamins with your request.
