WOW What a history lesson

I don't see it happening; for every spot they give to a suite occupant, that is $300 (or more) in proven revenue lost.

To enhance your cruise experience

Admission. That's all

Not when we were promised an adults only QUIET oasis experience with no kids (included in the crease fare to boot)

I was ready to book until I read "DJ" Nope

What does public VS private toilet facilities have to do with spread of an airborne virus?

I’m her defense, she does go above and beyond

I’m afraid to ask 😜

If you knew my wife; you would know that exact thing happened. It hasn’t changed anything however.

DW said she was presented the “gratuity prompt” at the self-check out register at the local grocery store recently.

Remove them, don’t give it a second thought.

And this is a big problem with the program.

Fascinating! Great tip!

That is NOT what is happening; for someone that accused me of “broad generalizations” earlier, I must suggest you look in the mirror.

And how exactly does the Canadian government expect an American citizen to probe citizenship? With the exception of a few northern states issuing enhanced DLs, a passport is the only document we have to prove citizenship.

I was referring to Canadian requirements as well.

Incorrect, a US citizen that cruises in and out of Canada can do so on a birth certificate, only if one is beginning or ending their cruise in Canada is a passport required.

Google "Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative"

I am pretty sure the Canadian requirements are different if you are staying in the country VS cruising in and cruising right back out.

Thank You

Well for one closed loop cruises, technically, do not transport people from one country to another, whereas an open loop cruise does.

The truth is quite often not “helpful to the discussion” nor does it promote a narrative that many believe to be false. These threads have existed online, this forum and others, since the inception of the auto gratuity concept. One would have to have their heads in the sand to not realize that the tides have turned and there is a large shift in the way this topic is viewed. I don’t believe my statement is an unproven generalization at all, thankfully we all can approach this as we see fit.

I agree, and an important part of your post is “IF gratuities are really distributed as per Royal’s table”. Very few believe that they are.
