Rare MISTER 67 Posted August 22 #126 Share Posted August 22 At 79 years old we don’t want anything to do with Royal Caribbean and their 6,000 + passenger mega ships with way too many kids. We had a great cruise before the pandemic on the much smaller Rhapsody of the Seas out of Tampa but we will stay with Celebrity and Princess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a smoker on their balcony smoking next to our balcony, game on! Wait a minute? Are you trying to tell me that different people care about different things? And that what seems important to you might seem trivial to someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what the staff gets paid to do. We've been subject to someone's stupid comment about what we were wearing (for the MDR, evening) once on a cruise. Getting way off topic now. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Caribbean recognizes individuals with a pin after each tier achievement of the Crown & Anchor Society. I've worn each designation pin as I traverse milestones of the Crown & Anchor Society. Does the Captain's Club have a similar recognition for each milestone achievement? The pin wearing is one of the reasons this thread is still going..it’s a Royal thing, not a Celebrity thing..understated..that’s why I like Celebrity.. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t cruise on lines that make me wear a suit or dress the way I don’t want to. Does Royal have dress codes? On a cruise ship people are free to comment on everything. And you are free to respond to it or ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course RC has suggested dress guidelines. IMO, equal to Celebrity. We dress the same on Celebrity, RC and Princess. Have you cruised with RC? We like the differences and similarities between the three. BTW, I didn't ignore the comment. Edited August 22 by doghog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennysDad Posted August 22 #137 Share Posted August 22 I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're spending your vacation concerned about how others dress for dinner, you are missing your vacation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted August 22 #141 Share Posted August 22 14 hours ago, zitsky said: So it’s ok to flaunt your status. Just not ok to have an opinion about people who do? I don’t see anyone suggesting they walk around telling people to take off their pins. It’s like people who want to wear baseball caps in dining rooms. Should I just sit there and shut up? No worries about having opinions...obviously there is huge amount of that on these threads. 😉 But it is also my right to have an opinion of why does a little gold badge cause such animosity in so many. I mean really...why should anyone care if some like to wear them. Big whoop. And no, I don't care if someone is wearing a ball cap...that is what they like to do. And yes, I would never consider saying something...so if that is shutting up...so be it. Third world problem. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing for us, as we are moving away from Royal for that reason and the cheapening of the product. We still have the smaller ships left in our booking (EX and Radiance) but are happily moving to other lines...mostly Viking, but now also have a few X cruises booked. Considering other sister line Silverseas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more about money and class but if you wear a pin that says “I’ve done 100 cruises”, what is the point of that? Should you get better service? Should staff say thank you as you walk by? Should other passengers bow? What if I don’t get a pin? Cruising is a first world problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the CK staff pretty much recognizes you and knows you should be there after a couple of days. Same as Luminae. In CK they try to always give you the same waiter and he/she definitely knows you. The people coming from the lounge and sitting down - I think that is not common without checking in and getting a table. I guess it could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering other sister line Silverseas as well. The scuttlebutt from the RCCL side is that Royal is going to build a new line of smaller ships (Discovery class). Early discussion is that they will be Radiance-Class and M-Class size. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take to design and build cruise ships? Yes all 4 of the Radiance Class ships are still sailing and are quite popular. About 2500 passengers. The new Discovery class if designed of the same size will likely hold more passengers and have more suites (my speculations entirely). So probably more crowded. It will take at least another 3 years to see one I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
