Indeed Julie,
I am trying to find out how long the contract that Rick Meadows signed with Thomas Keller is.
I remember the Charlie Palmer days that went on far too long.
These contracts work well for those guests that only sail once in a blue moon.
Have you not spoken to the dog owner directly to find out why they bring it and why they feel elevated enough to not be part of the rules and guidelines.
Take it on the chin as you were obviously happy with the price and deal at the time you booked.
There will always be a cheaper price and sometimes a dearer price for the cruise that you booked.
Imagine if your cruise had gone up by three grand then you would be singing a different tune.
Supply and demand is the factor as in most of the hospitality areas.
You might even be lucky and get a little recompense.
Fingers crossed.
