Up sell offer on a seven day cruise on the Royal- cruise date is April 9th. Great offer to go from an inside to balcony for $79. I took the offer- we are midship aft.

Hi,

I am going on my third Alaskan cruise with Royal. My first was with Princess, second with Carnival and now Royal. I have also been on 45 cruise in the past nine years- please pick a cruise for the adventure.

A cruise is what you make it - some people may complain about the food, and others on the same ship will say it was wonderful. Everything is an opinion. I love Princess even though on my last cruise my cabin didn't have hot water for two days, I could complain about the Royal Princess, but why? The issue was resolved, I received a free dinner and a $300.00 credit on my account- they took care of the issue best they could as fast as they could. On Carnival, I wasn't too happy about how lacks the staff was on the dress code in the dining room (cut off shorts?!?), but why complain? I wasn't on my cruise to judge how people dress, I was on my cruise to enjoy time with my hubby and to relax. Whatever cruise line you choose, make the trip about you- not about what other people think. Just my opinion.

Ship: Regal Princess

Class:

Deck:12

Stateroom #A739

Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern:

Connects With Cabin #:n/a

Accessible: n/a

Quiet: yes

Balcony Size: wider than other aft balconies

View: back of ship

Privacy Issues: balcony does not have any cover- guest from above can look down at you

Wind: n/a

Soot: none

Problems: since cabin is on the end of a main water line- no hot water in morning for duration of cruise.

Comments: Beautiful cabin with an extra large balcony. The balcony is wider than other aft view balconies. Hot water was a problem- we were told that our cabin is the last cabin on a main water line- hence no hot water. We had hot water periodically in the evening only.

Just returned from a Carnival Cruise on the Conquest- this was a free cruise for my hubby and myself in a balcony. Received a letter back in September and it was free, plus it was legit.

At the end of this cruise, I received a letter about another free cruise. YAHOO! So what if I gamble! Just because someone gambles, doesn't mean they have a problem. I enjoy a good vacation. I cruise to have fun. I enjoy my life. Will Carnival get money from me in the casino, yes, so be it. I will continue to cruise, continue to gamble in the casino, continue to but shoes and shop etc.. Am I thrilled, yup! Better believe it. Do I drink, no, do I go out to dinner every night, no, am I frugal when not on vacation, yes. If my only vice in life is to gamble when on a cruise ship a few times a year, then all is okay.

I have read a number of negative comments from people, be happy for someone else, don't burst our bubbles and if you want to discuss gambling problems, I am sure you can find another blog to do it in. There is also one for drinking issues, eating issues, and a host of other disorders. Go there to discuss it. Just say congrats, I'm happy for you.
