I could agree with most of those statements except the Infinite balconies being perfect. I think they are far from perfect and much prefer a true balcony that my wife or I can enjoy without shutting off the A/C to the rest of the cabin.

It used to be that way. Recently when you try to check in it makes you fill out all the info. You can't skip ahead.

It is abviously written to get clicks and subscribers. Look at all the attention it is getting here. If he had written an another article exclaiming how great his cruise was and all of the things to do it would be unread amongs all the others. It is just for the clicks and subscribers. Stop giving this site the attention.

I always compare my cruises with others but value are also part of the comparison. Why stay loyal and just pay way more for one cruise than what you previously went on two. Also the decline in the quality of the food. Personally I enjoy Royal and I have stock but I will not stay loyal to a corporation. I have and will continue to look for the best value on Royal and other cruise lines.

Can't condone or do much about the adults on a cruise. Parents on the other hand should do something about their childrens manners and behavior. Use the bad behavior of adults to show them how not to act. People behaving badly is not an excuse for children to behave badly.

I can't offer a lot of help on this but every Royal ship I have been on the relief area has been at the aft usually starboard side.

Correct. I don't dissagree with you. I will say that I have seen many complaints from cruisers on Quantum class ships that they do not go to many of the areas that other ships go due to their size.

"Welcome to the first -- I think your first call or the first call since you've been covering us. So the new ships get a premium. There is no doubt that the new ships get a premium. The way we manage brand by brand, how much of that premium to get. It also depends on where we're putting that ship because we're not going to necessarily want to put the best ship on the best itinerary because that's not the good thing for the overall brand." I think what he is stating is very obvious. If he didn't come to this conclusion I would question his position in the corporation. It stands to reason that it you put an old ship with a boring itinerary nobody would go. A newer ship can carry a bad itinerary as more people are going for the ship itself.

I think a lot of what ships go to Alaska have to do with design. Those Quantum class ships are made mor for cold wheather.

I stand corrected. Did they have new menu items or just a different combination?

Royal has a seven day menu and it repeats. Whatever is the food choices for those seven days will probably be what is available. Same for the fleet.

It really varies by location. They clean the decks and move chairs very early in the morning so if you are under the deck chair area it can be noisy.

You are only allowed if it prepackaged. If you mean "youcan", well it is against regulations but I guess you can.

Please don't post a topic like that when you don't know if there is an issue. Stabilizers can only do so much. You are still on the ocean. Sometimes the seas will be rough at times.
