The zero tolerance cannot be managed consistently through one's life. My guess is that those who have no ability to tolerate anything step out of line on a cruise ship have other areas of life where they don't have the same issues with taking advantage or bending the rules. They are not being honest if they claim to have such high standards - we all work with flexible morals and ethics at times. Having said that - I do respect the position they are taking - and it's a good reminder to look inside ourselves and examine our senses of right and wrong. I'm a good consumer. I buy stuff. I rarely complain. I upgrade. I don't ask for accommodations or free stuff. I'm low maintenance. Not demanding on staff. They make money off me - I don't ask for extras. I'm good with having "stolen" a couple of drinks.

Wow, so perfectly stated. I thought this same exact thought and could not have put it any better. Brings to mind that saying that 'those who shout the loudest usually have the most to hide' . It's easy to be so self-righteous in a setting where your statements and claims are not easily verified.- but unsurprisingly in real life you may end up being the exact opposite.

That doesn't make it theft though. I doubt even Royal cares who actually drinks which drink as long as both have been paid for under a package.

Exactly. I don't see it as theft as both drinks have been paid for, who gets them is inconsequential. Someone feels this is not for them don't do it.

So if we all get (2adults, 3children) some sort of package, kids royal refreshment and mom and dad Royal replenish - and I decide to let my daughter have a bottled water while I have a diet coke - is that also theft?

I am going on my first RCL cruise. I just am switching over from Carnival. And the one thing I have been learning about RCL is that ice cream isn't 24 hours and they don't serve lemonade or iced tea all day only at lunch. And they have lemon flavored water. Still I can't wait to sail IOS and compare the two lines :)

Only at lunch?? Not at dinner?? Even in the MDR?

I'm sure someone has already asked this BUT is chocolate milk complimentary in the MDR? My DS4 typically has 2 a day and I was hoping it was complimentary...

Yes. Comfortable and clean

 

Ask for a front room overlooking the trees. They have a refigerator and a microwave in a separate kitchen area, plus a lounge. Also a 10 minute walk to a shopping Mall.

 

 

 

A good value Chinese Restaurant is across the road.

Great info! Thanks so much. I will definitely ask for the room overlooking the trees :)
