Do not take the Quantum of the Seas to Alaska
Goodtime Cruizin replied to pierces's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I do think the OP is somewhat correct. For example, the Quantam class doesn't go as close as the Millennium Class of Celebrity. We got as closes as 1/4 mile per the Captain's announcments. Bigger ship = bigger/deeper hulls. And RCL uses the Quantam Class because of demand. It's a matter of safety and economics all combined. -
Once again this only refers to the ability of making a reservation. Not the ability to be seated & served.

While I understand what you're saying I'm also reminded that yours is only an assumption on your behalf. IMO, the ships are managed pretty well. Ship shape comes to mind. Including the galley, kitchen, call it what you want. The passenger count per time slot and the %'s of how many are seating at what time are well known by the staff. I believe food is prepared accordingly or at least as close as possible. When you add to this the change of the menu to a specific type of food served and your room for error drops dramatically. And if a MTD passenger has a 7pm time slot and walks in at 5:45 and they seat them, then... MTD is OPEN. What is NOT open is the ability to book a time slot before 7pm.

I believe that it's structured this way now because of the increase in numbers of MTD and it's popularity. I'm thinking that 5 or 6 years ago more cruisers were still using traditional dining times. So as the shift to MTD occurred they had to respond to the numbers. It is an interesting dynamic for sure.

Amsterdam bans cruise ships

We're about to experience this in a couple of weeks. But we decided to visit Venice pre-cruise anyway. -
Seriously - all the shows are sold out???
Goodtime Cruizin replied to lynnber's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good Gawd. What a hot mess. I miss pre-covid cruising & posting on this board. I have my first two cruise coming up since 2019 and all I read is now are cutbacks on service/staff, high costs of cabins, false sales, over crowding, and one must reserve a spot to see shows, tables for my time dining and specialty dining. I hope all of y'all are wrong! 😉 -
4th of July Independence Chaos

1200 kids on a holiday cruise = not but chaos! -
Ultimate Dining not available holiday cruise?
Goodtime Cruizin replied to laura85's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Wowza. Learn something new everyday I guess. Never knew they had special dinner pricing. On a different note, almost to the date (7-6-22) I bought the UDP during the July 4th sale last year. We're on Harmony 11/26 the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Total cost including gratuities was $519 for the two of us. -
I'm pretty sure the only competitor they have is the Caribbean itself. And it is FREE wet.

Not my wet slide kinda thing @170

I might be able to locate the email address to the Loyal Ambassador and/or specifically to the Bar Manager on the Harmony of the Seas?

Air2Sea major fail
Goodtime Cruizin replied to FlaviaOfTheMonth's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Other than missing boarding the ship, did he otherwise enjoy his cruise? -
Shorts in the dinning room
Goodtime Cruizin replied to ETski's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Good gawd. Yes. But for the formal nights step up & buy them some damn slacks. This is the opportunity for a teaching moment. They have to learn eventually and you're as good as anyone to help them along. Have you wondered what they'll be wearing on their prom night? Graduation? Help them out. Make it fun. Take the grandkids shopping. I have a feeling both parties will enjoy it. And yes, as always I'm late to this party. -
