I thought it was discussed at Q&A but realized this was off topic for this thread so deleted. The construction has been mentioned elsewhere and since the sailing bought the port out i thought it might have come up as to what they were doing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngrund Posted August 15, 2023 #302 Share Posted August 15, 2023 They are not charging. It was only a question asked on a survey-would you pay a nominal fee for pizza, and if there was a charge would it cause you to cruise another line. I just can't believe they even asked the question- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a couple of years, but as I recall Sorentos was pretty decent. I guess I’ll see on Friday! Our trip on NCL north to Anchorage is going to be tough for RCCL on the return trip. This sounds like one more nail in the coffin. If you're going to be in Anchorage and want to have some good pizza, go to The Moose's Tooth. I didn't expect to find good pizza in Alaska. The Moose's Tooth was quite a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare RobInMN Posted August 15, 2023 #308 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Yea! Let's argue about the pizza quality in two threads at the same time. This one was started last Thursday, and has 12 pages already. It was also linked in second post in this thread. Please. let's kill this one, or at least have the mods merge it.

PACrew Posted August 15, 2023 #309 Share Posted August 15, 2023 RCCL is pushing pricing and service cutbacks just like Disney. Until demand slows, Royal has no reason to stop. For me, Royal is diluting the whole cruising experience. Food and cruising has been synonymous. Service too. I don’t need/expect 5 star but I do want value and Royal is not giving it. To charge for pizza is a slap in the face IMO. If you want to cut waste, limit slices a person. If someone eats it all, they can get more. People can live with that. For our next cruise, we (9 guests) are trying MSC. For the price, it’s worth the try (royal is double the $$$ on the same week and identical itinerary). I see value here with MSC and willing to try. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted August 15, 2023 #310 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Next they're going to charge for more than 1 roll of toilet paper per week.😁 I can see maybe another pizza joint making REAL pizza's and charging, but not that cardboard crap that is only good at 2am when I'm "slightly" intoxicated 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be taking some to go food from the WJ if I need to for later on. If I eat it thats fine, but if I don't it will get tossed in the am. That will be more food wasted which I think Royal is trying to avoid. Imagine if 1/3 of the ship did this and ended up tossing it, how much would they lose?

Food on a cruise shiopthere are always options that I have already paid for ( so far ). If Sorrento's goes the way of the CFO then more of these options will be searched out . Thx Ironically , I have only eaten 1 specialty , chops , ( because it was comped ). My wifes meal was fantastic , But my striploin was horrible . Sent back , then horrible again . The head waiter was in shock . As I am generally not that fussy , I just ate it the 2nd time , even though she was begging me to let her get a 3rd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't do much specialty dining. Usually one actual specialty meal per cruise and we now go to Playmakers after trying it on Indy last year and loving it. The $9 burgers are now $12.99 but we'll live. I'll eat anything and my wife doesn't need fine dining but she is very picky so it's more for her (although I do think the food there is very good).

rolloman Posted August 15, 2023 #324 Share Posted August 15, 2023 These boards are monitored by Royal Caribbean so it is good people voice their opinion on the subject. I can assure you if they are floating the idea out there via survey, they are leaning towards making this come to fruition. My opinion is the pizza on Royal ships is absolutely low grade and one of the worst at sea. I love pizza and I rarely go near it unless it is late night with no other options and even then it is a bad idea to go to bed with that heartburn laden garbage in your stomach. Similar to the Dinasaur, the once all-inclusive nature of cruising is rapidly going away. Oh, and for the record, there is no @#!*!! way I would pay for their pizza. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
