They absolutely are. I wore mine in pools, hot tubs, on the beach, and in the shower and it worked just fine.

What do they do in the hot tub - to work fine?🤔

No problem getting hammered at the buffet!👍

I'm suggesting it as a possibility. They won't have all 3 but I think we will be back to 2 ships for 2021. Depending on how Anthem does in 2020, Allure could take her spot.

With all the problems after Brexit and the related staffing and travel problems between the island and the rest of Europe - they might not have any ship in Southampton - too many problems for foreign passengers to get to the island!🤔

True.  

 

Question -- do they replace mattresses with any regularity?  Or do they just replace some here and there if they receive enough complaints about a particular cabin?    

They might wipe them off a little after a lifestyle cruise.....🤔🙄

Been on this website a many years, and never recall hearing of RCI having so many propulsion issues impacting guests. 

Bad maintenance + bad management!🙄

Maybe you could post some photos.

That would not help at all - people here will say they are only pointing out bad stuff - not true - not representing the truth..... no matter what you do here - the cheerleaders will try to mock you and personally attack you!🙄👎

I have heard they will eliminate all desserts in 2021 and will give $1 OBC per cabin - YEAH! 👍

They were closing down probably they have to get ready for their muster drill stations.

You should trademark this excuse ASAP! 👍🙄

At 12:25?

🙄😱

so true! 👍

Just another proof that RCI management is absolutely clueless on how to run a customer focused business! 🙄

They only survive because there is extremely high demand for that category of product! 😱

If you are on a 14 NT cruise the BW perk is a BIG value and they are cutting about $350 or more per cabin - this is totally not acceptable!

We will try to cancel our non-refundable for a FULL refund!🤬

I don't see how punishing the staff would be helpful in this situation.  I understand making a statement, but i don't think this is the statement to make.  The staff had nothing to do with this decision. 

Staff is part of the corporation - RCI guarantees the payment to the staff - if people remove - they will have to make it up! 👍😎

If everybody in a neighborhood - cabin removes all their tips - that would really hurt RCI as they would need to make up for it!🤔👍

I cant' find anywhere in the "Cruise Ticket Contract" that permits them to do this.  They can change the itinerary without notice but that's about it.  The Dine - Drink - Discover flyer has no expiration date and just mentions that the itinerary could change.  They can change your accommodations or cancel activities or confine you to a stateroom, but that's only if you are thought to be a 

danger, security risk or be detrimental to himself or the health, welfare, comfort or enjoyment of others.  But it still doesn't say that they can cancel your beverage package.

I would ask them where in the contact it gives them the right to take that perk away....🤔👍

The US could learn from the EU 

They will never do that!🤣

That would be the fair option for Royal to offer.

Do US laws allow the seller to alter the contract one-sided after it is signed?🤔

Doesn't the seller HAVE to provide what was part of the contract?🤔

Well on a 14 night cruise they just stiffed you out of $300....😱

Has anybody had success in cancelling their non-refundable deposit for a FULL refund?🤔

Anything you hear from fellow passengers is just their opinion.  No one on this thread or any other on this topic knows anything for certain about how Royal Caribbean conducts its business.

👍

And if you do not like the way they do business you can remove all gratuities and save a bunch of money! 🤑

You really worry about $4.99?😱

New Costa ship pushed back 6 weeks from projected delivery @Thorben-Hendrik

Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland. + It is also the first time this class ship has been constructed at the shipyard with new features and advancements.....

Odyssey is an old well known plan.....

They just bought Turku like last week out of bankruptcy....not up to speed....not German precision (yet)!🙄

They are all by the balcony....no switching locations on that ship-class!👍

Can a TA please tell them to update their website????

Yes! Sure! 👍🤙

On the Symphony TA we got a certificate to signify that we were on the first TA of the ship. 

Same on Harmony TA - glad we survived.....😂

Odyssey does have a berth in St. Maarten on Oct. 30.  Obviously that can change but it adds weight that they were planning a TA at some point.

 

I said this 3 days ago and you are selling this as news?🙄

When you look at the build time from the sisters that Meyer also did - you can see they are absolutely in time! 👍

I am assuming RCI will release the TA with the next two months! 🤔🤞

And other short ones may be added as they progress.... 😎
