Anything else but certainly not the Embassy Suites.

Extreme loud disco music with unbelievable base until in the morning hours from disco in basement that echoes into the hotel room atrium; unfriendly reception employees

This question does not help at all if you do not reveal which nationality you are. If you are a Nigerian you need a Visa, if you are a Schengen room citizen you need an Esta, if you are.......

It all depends which bureaucrat at RCCL works your request. I sent two different requests this week with each a shareholder proof that was 80something days old. One came back as approved , the other one came back with ".... The requested shareholder’s onboard credit cannot be applied to reservation #xyz as the proof of ownership we received is not current (no more than 60-days old)......

Proof of ownership may be not more than 60 days old

Free specialty coffee is the only difference.

Apropos:

although no lounge - do they have a specialty coffee machine for D, D+ and Pins 24/7?🍮

I think they need a few tins of Dulux to get rid of the big Union Jack painted on the hulls of their ships!!!!!!

The Brits have a history to conceal their maritime flags and hoist other than British flags for deception or no flag - - -did not work for the Lusitania

Another thing they quietly slipped in is you can't use the shareholder benefit towards the service charges (which I assume are the gratuities) any longer. 

 

So what happens if you booked prior to June 1? In April I booked a 10 day cruise for 2020. I expected to get $200 OBC. I went out of my way to not have the balcony discount applied (the balcony discount is a complete farce as well) knowing they can’t be combined. Am I grandfathered with the old rules...Do I fall under the new plan... or am I screwed and get nothing??

You are screwed.

All early bookings - before June 1st- are "punished". I applied for OBC for 4 cruises booked before the June date and received a negative response (the 4 cruises have no whatsoever original/previous OBC applied!!)

Early bookers (with bookings before June 1st) are punished although stockholders shall have the same rights. I checked my early bookings with shareholder Dpt and they denied OBCs for my cruises booked before June 1st. Well.

Too many complains from "straight" men being bothered by the behavior of a certain "preference " group of men that gathered in the saunas?

A problem that RCCL thought to be solved by asking a use fee for saunas on certain ships. Maybe this did not work at all?

What is a consiege lounge please?

Is it an inside cabin? Apparently Pinnacle only stay in Inside cabins. 😇

For sure your wife was in an inside on Rhapsody in December

We were on Jewel from Oct. 24 to Dec. 15, 2018.  When arrived, Peter Dimitrov had left for Oasis & Robert was filling.  Robert was great (has similar management style) - did not change anything.  As soon as Maurice took over for crossing on November 5th - we all noticed the difference like night & day.   Changes in officer/staff attitudes, cut backs/removal of C&A perks, eg. no more sail away parties, no wine with consecutive cruiser lunches, meal with officer cut backs, etc.   We all agreed on the ship, that Maurice was all about the "bottom line".  We luv the Jewel and were booked for the March 29th crossing but decided to cancel that one.

Great news for the Jewel crew today: they celebrate the demise of HD Maurice. He will not come back on Jewel and will commence duties on poor Rhapsody after vacation. So here on Jewel jubilation and sad faces for Rhapsody. Now that Maurice is history , more and more of his 'negative and cheap  regime* comes up. Hope that is a turning point for the proud Jewel and legendary spirit comes back quick.

Anyone know if Robert is still HD on Radiance?  He was from Vancouver and enjoyed the Alaska runs near his home. 

Robert is currently relieve HD on Jewel, trying all his best to re-motivate and cheer-up the crew from terrible micro-management from Maurice as we see it from a passenger standpoint

Have not seen price bundling on US/Canadian bookings.

Have not seen price bundling on continental European bookings. Note: UK only is geographically belonging to Europe

Andy C, nobody is going after your kids you try to substantiate your hatred claims by using your kids not getting premium window seats in SL -it is you who is going after the Pins. Obviously some time ago you were not invited to play with the others in the sandbox and now you paranoidly see Pins everywhere, when you leave home for a cruise, in the plane,, in the shuttle bus, Pins Pins everywhere. 

As another poster suggested already for the sake of peace of mind, why don't you cruise another cruise line where no status guests  bother your precious holiday experience?

Site is not very accurate: it shows for the Jewel 2/25 docking -arriving from Nassau, which is correct, but departure Nassau again as next port. It is Carthagena in fact!

The admins on CC have absolutely deleted several of my posts as they relate to pinnacles and my exposing what they get away with in the SL/CK. In my most recent live review from Harmony they deleted several posts. I am glad this censorship is being discussed. 

I know I am not the only one who applauds the CC mods for giving you some warning points for your unsubstantiated bashings here and spin doctoring. You better stay put and change to more intelligent postings. 

Which ship does the OP specifically refer to? Last week's TA a Dplus was rightly removed from Rh CL. All Dplus had the Shall we Dance lounge with phantastic buffets to socialize while the CL was dedicated for 59 booked out suites and the 87 Pins. 

All Dplus adhered but one Swiss banker guy challenged the concirege's authoritiy and refused to leave. It took Guest Relation 3 days until final warning to this unruly Swiss guy,or…..

on RH we were served " Baja Eggs" for the last 5 weeks for breakfast. Delicious with avocados or even extra avocados...….
