    What will RCCL charge for next?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    Remember cruising when you paid your fare and taxes and gratuities and that was IT? Now cruise lines, especially RCCL, are charging for basically everything- better food, room service, fancy coffee, yoga classes. My question is: What will they charge for next? How far does their nickel and diming go? Here’s my guesses:

     

    Theater and show tickets

    All food and drink (except tap water)

    Flowrider, zipline, rock climbing wall, carousel

    Public bathrooms

    Hot tubs

    Meet ups with dreamworks characters

    Kids programs

    Gym usage

     

    What do you think? Where’s your line in the proverbial sand?

    Ha ha ha! This is not new, news. Just how long did it take for the cruise industry to catch up with the airline industry? Example: in-flight cutback perks (pay today)/onboard cutback options (pay or choose not to do it). The choice is simple. Understand what you are buying.

    I will also chime in that we are not fans of HAL's pizza. However, we did enjoy Princess' pizza very much. It's been a couple of years since we've sailed with them, and I'm disappointed to see these comments about the changes in quality.
    Kyoto experience, scope out Johnny Hillwalker. Fantastic guide, well respected, and takes you at a leisurely pace and guides you through the genuine Kyoto. Kansai can be complicated, but Johnny Hillwalker is the best! Have known him for more than 20 years. S'Wonderful tour.

    Knowing firsthand, the DP's dedicated Japan, Asia, and SE Asia target market, your observations with DP F&B less desirable shifts are correct. And they do reflect building to an Asia region cruise culture. Holiday/Vacation travel is typically a 4-5 day experience and returning to family homes. It continues to be a developing process. I am so happy to read your posts as a multicultural perspective. Bravo!
